A Miracle

It’s still a little early to be counting my chickens, but I think that something awesome might have happened yesterday. Without going into too much detail, it looks I’ll be receiving some money that I didn’t expect. It’s money that I’ll eventually have to pay back at a very small amount of interest, but it’s enough money that I will be able to get myself out of CC debt now, instead of in May. If this all works out, it will be a game changer. No longer will I be bent under the imaginary weight of these cards. I can burn them all, and then start saving for the future. More importantly, I’ll be able to afford to take a lower paying job if it becomes a necessity, or if something good opens up that I’m perfect for. I have been so unhappy for so long in my current position, but bound by the fact that I was an inch away from starving, and in no position to take any less money. Granted, I am worth more than I’m making now, but at least I know I have options, I am free to live again without 19% interest.

I’m going out for a run to celebrate.

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!
