A Word A Week Challenge – Dance

Just ran across a neat little posting challenge by A Word In Your Ear. Each week, a new word is chosen, and anyone who wants to participate can take part. You can find more extensive rules here.

This week’s word is “Dance.” My photo was taken on Mardi Gras Day in 2012, just outside of a popular New Orleans gathering spot/watering hole called the R Bar. Located on Royal Street just off of Frenchmen, during important days like Mardi Gras and Halloween, the street outside of R Bar normally gets packed with people in costume. Last Mardi Gras, there was music and dancing (this year there was a humongous apocalyptic horse effigy and a bull riding practice barrel, but that’s a whole different story). The guys in this picture were just getting down, and I was lucky to catch them at their most exuberant.

      Thanks so much! I took a little tech break last night, and was so surprised when I logged back in today and saw my stats. What a lovely surprise 🙂

    I LOVE this picture… every detail of it! In fact, I’m a bit jealous I wasn’t there to capture it. Only in New Orleans…

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!
