Continue reading →: Making Power MovesNote: I started this blog post on 4/30/13, so it’s half a month old. But I wanted to share it, anyway, as it’s a positive view on something that I’ve been kind of negative about lately: my relationship with The Man. One of my two best friends always refers to…

Got a lot of random noise floating around in my head today, so just want to jot down some notes here to empty out my brain just a bit… 1) Today I did four loads of laundry and two loads of dishes. I swept, straightened, and cooked a casserole while…

Tonight was my first night out on the town in months, and the first time in a very, very long time that I went to a different neighborhood to drink without The Man. That sounds worse than it is, probably. I’m just a home body. I don’t have a ton…

Continue reading →: Photography Friday! Week 3 – Mostly KittiesLots of drama this week, but I don’t feel like talking about it here, honestly. Instead, I’m going to share photos of my cats – yay! OK, and some other stuff. On Saturday morning, The Man and I cleaned the house, and I washed all of my clothes. Izzy helped:…

Continue reading →: Fitbit Flex’n ItSome of my friends are really into video games, others keep up with the newest cell phones, and still others are crazy about the latest cars on the market. My obsession? Fitness gadgets. In the whole scheme of things, I’m probably not as bad as the typical American consumer (or…

The end of another long week. A lot of things happened this week, but what’s odd is that I hadn’t realized how much stuff went on until AFTER looking at all of the week’s snapshots. I’m glad that I’m doing this daily snapshot, even if I sucked at this week’s…

Just got back from spending the day with The Man’s mom, dad, brother, and almost-two-year-old niece. It was a fun day; we went to the aquarium and then out for dinner a great little tropical restaurant. It felt rather bittersweet, though. Today was the day of babies. One best friend…

Welcome back, loyal readers! I just got back from an intense, four-day tech conference at which I was informed of the error of my online ways. Some changes are in the works, but it might take awhile to clean up my act. Since most of my effort needs to be…

Continue reading →: The Naming of Cats
Picking a name is a serious matter. It’s like getting a tattoo – the action requires thought, and the more time you allow for the process, the better. I have a couple of friends who have given their children spectacularly horrid names, and I’ve never really been able to broach…
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!
