Continue reading →: Just Dropping In To Say…
Hi everybody! Sorry for the radio silence, but I was gone for the weekend. Had a great (albeit short) little vacation to New York City, and spent three and a half days doing some intense sight seeing. I walked between 8 and 11 miles each day, got way too much…

I went to Cold Stone Creamery tonight for a little treat, and was so proud of myself! Instead of getting a couple of scoops of chocolate ice cream with hot fudge and caramel (what my heart desired), I got one of their new Sinless Smoothies, instead. Their sign advertises that…

Summer is officially here, so it’s time to look into my resolutions and see how well I’m doing. I can tell you that today I feel rather hopeless, a little fat, a lot frazzled. I feel stuck, so hoping that going through the resolutions will help me see that I’m…

Continue reading →: My Messed Up Name
Today’s prompt from The Daily Post is to talk about your name. My name has been a source of contention in my inner life, so it seemed natural to write about it. So here you go… My name is Anna. I don’t like it. Never have. When I was little,…

The following post is a response to a creative writing prompt issued by The Daily Post. Today’s assignment was to tell a story of human-animal transformation. ************* In the movies, the detectives always tell the grieving widow that the victim’s end was painless, and that he didn’t feel a thing.…

Continue reading →: Getting It Figured Out
Something amazing happened yesterday, and I wanted to share. It’s full of personal stuff, so if you’re offended by basic health issue sharing, you might not want to read further (though there’s no blood or poo or anything, so it should be fairly easy to read). So I’ve talked about…

My mind has been hijacked today, but I didn’t really have anyone to talk to. I don’t really talk about it much on this blog, but I’m rather introverted. People tend to not notice that about me in person, but maybe that’s because I don’t meet that many people, lol.…

Continue reading →: Photography Friday! Week 4 – Iron Man, Star Trek & A Sand MandalaHome on Friday night, fighting off a horrible hacking cough and nursing a migraine while my friends are out at a pub crawl/going away party. I won’t bother to pretend that I was looking forward to bouncing from bar to bar tonight, but I was psyched for a chance to…
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!
