The Tiniest Walkabout

Sundays are normally my homework day, during which I scramble mightily to polish up my weekly assignment in hopes of getting an A+. It’s funny, school seems to be so much easier when you’re older and genuinely excited to do the work. I’m not sure that going to school online gives you the fullness of experience that one gleans from an in-person experience can offer, but I’ve still learned much in a very small period of time.

Today I have a large assignment to finish, and can’t devote as much time as I’d like to C&Q. Instead, here are a few photos I took last week on my adventure through the tangle of streets that make up my neighborhood. Enjoy!

Beautiful double camelback house on Magazine Street. It's still wearing remnants of a post-Katrina 'blue roof' tarp, which means that it sustained roof damage that has not been addressed since 2005. Such a sad old beauty. October 2011

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
