Hello Lovely Readers,

Just wanted to let you know that some big changes are going on right now that may or may not affect what you see on Compass & Quill for the next little while. Actually, let me rephrase that. You will be noticing changes soon, but I’m not quite sure how soon. So if things go wacky for a little bit, sorry!

I’ve decided to move my blog over to WordPress.org so I can make a few moves to start earning a little income via becoming an affiliate and maybe incorporating an ad or two. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be doing, but I do want to make some promises to you:

  1. The design of this site will always be tasteful, if not exactly amazing. (Sadly, I’m not a graphic designer or a miracle worker, so don’t expect anything groundbreaking in the imagery department.)
  2. I will never compromise the content of this site in order to make money. In fact, I’m hoping that going “pro” will actually help me improve content and increase readership.
  3. I will never post ads or paid content that do not directly relate to who I am and what I write about. All advertisements, affiliate links, promotions, etc. will be useful in some way to most readers. I don’t like mass-produced crap, and I’m not going to start promoting it. I do, however, love giving presents, so hopefully I can start to find a way to give you guys cool stuff that you’ll love. Cross your fingers!
  4. In relation to both #1 and #3, I won’t post any ugly ads. I might not be an artist, but I know hideous ads when I see them (and unfortunately, I see them pretty often). I’ll try to keep your eyes from screaming in horror. Compass & Quill is my happy place, and I want it to be yours, too.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned.

XO,

A

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!
