After some serious thought, I’ve realized that my (greatly) varied interests can’t all be reflected properly on Compass & Quill. Sometimes it can be hard for me to see where one pastime or interest ends and another begins – I get sucked into wanting to talk about it all here, but it ends up watering me – or at least the me that you see – down. I’m trying to figure out how to get more focused, and part of that’s going to be breaking my thoughts down and putting them in the appropriate places.

To that end, I’ve started a new blog that will focus only on my upcoming pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, including thoughts on St. Francis, charity, travel, spiritual growth, practical concerns, book reviews, and any related research. If you’re interested in following along, you can find me at The Camino Plan, or click “The Camino Plan” in the menu, above. I hope you will.

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!
