My Two Favorite Videos

Most of my social media posts are inspirational and lighthearted. Life’s hard enough as it is; I’m not interested in getting into arguments on Facebook about things that I don’t really have a say in. While I might share an inspirational saying from my favorite presidential candidate now and then, or uplifting advice from authors and personalities that I feel might do my friends some good, I generally go out of my way to only share positive things that could be of service. Over time, I’ve found myself returning to the same couple of videos over and over again when I need a feel-good moment, so I thought I’d just post them here for future reference (and in case you need a reason to smile, too). Enjoy!

Orangutan sees a magic trick! I love that she laughs after she sees the nut “disappear”.

It’s hard to stay mad with squeaky shoes on…

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!
