I’m still away on my vacation / baby welcoming trip, and typing this from a Kindle, so I’ll keep it short. It’s the new year, and starting today, I’m having no more bullshit in my life. I’m 31, well rested, and moderately sober. Today has been a contemplation on St Francis, friendship and dead ends. There’s not too much more to say on this virtual keyboard, but Happy New Year to you all. Hope that it brings you all you’ve waited for.

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!
