That theme being utter awesomeness, of course 🙂

Feeling good – I woke up and weighed in at 157.6 lbs, the lightest I’ve been so far in this weight loss journey. I missed yoga this morning – think I forgot to set my alarm, because I slept soundly until 7am. I woke with the intention of going running, but realized I had a couple of bills due today and ended up spending the morning paying bills (blech, but necessary). Now I’m going to do some crunches and lift some weights, have a healthy breakfast, and go on with my bad self day.

Wish me luck, folks. Days like this typically end up being the hardest, because I get tired and end up binging. Today’s going to be different, though. I’m going to snack healthily throughout the day, drink tons of water, go to yoga, and tomorrow I’m going to weigh 157.0 lbs.

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!
