Great news! After the last couple of weeks of drama (website down, website back, website down for people outside the US, website down again for everyone, website disappeared completely even for me…), I finally got it all sorted out. Well, mostly. I’m back on WordPress.com, no longer self-hosted, and I’ve switched to a new blog template. Somewhere in the mix, I lost a couple of pages – reading lists from last year and this year – which sucks, but will be OK. Plus, once I finally figured out how to export the blog, I still ended up screwing up and losing my media, so all of the photo links from the last year are broken. Sorry about that, I’ll fix it bit by bit as I can get to it. Overall, I’m still happy, because in the end, I made it out with the only thing that really mattered – the posts themselves.

That being the case, tomorrow I’ll go to the cute little coffee shop down the street, order a decaf, and get you caught up on everything that’s been going on as of late. Thanks for sticking with me while this all got figured out, and sorry for being such a drama queen. It was really touch and go there for a little bit. Life’s stressful enough without losing your blog…

G’nite, luvs. I’ll catch you on the flip side.

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!
