Compass & Quill

WordPress Zero to Hero Update (Day 4)

On Day 1 of the Zero to Hero Challenge, I wrote a blog post to define what it is I’d like for Compass & Quill to be. Day 2 was the time for creating an “About” statement – created, and located in the widget to your right. It’s not that great, but it’s a beginning. On Day 3, our assignment was to write the post we’d always imagined we’d write (mine was a review of Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant, one of my favorite products). And today? Today it’s time to “meet the neighbors.”

I follow quite a few other bloggers, but definitely don’t stop in and check out what they’ve got to say as often as I’d like. Since moving from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, I seldom sign in to WP and check out my reader. But that’s where things need to change. I think that in answer to today’s assignment, I’ll not only sign up to follow a few different topics on the reader, but I’ll also set up an RSS feed to keep in touch with bloggers from all over the web. That being said, it’s time to get to work. TTFN!

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!
