I live a pretty quiet life. Last night was even more quiet, as The Man had to go out to a work-related function, leaving me at home to amuse myself. Being extremely bored with everything else I had worked on for the day – blogging, writing, exercising, even eating – I decided to take out my trusty camera and take a few shots around the house. Here are some of my favorites.

Izzy Cat Getting Head Rub
Mmm…delicious head scratches for Lady Isabel.
Owl Figurine on Shelf
One of my newest owls. I love them, and have little owl figurines and pictures all over the house. I found this one at a vintage and antiques fair at Destrehan Plantation in Louisiana.
Two Bikes
My sweet little red Free Spirit, and The Man's souped up black cruiser, named Kitt.
Cat Looking for Something
Izzy hunting a stray Christmas ornament under the TV console.
Statuette Detail
Detail from a fanciful porcelain decorative piece that once belonged to The Man's grandmother. She and I shared a love of Asian-themed art, especially poor European interpretations of Asian themes.
Isabel Cat in the Kitchen
"Are you gonna put that thing away soon? You're kinda freaking me out."

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!
