I’m afraid that when I’m on my way out of the world, hopefully hanging out in my comfy armchair at my little cabin beside a pond/lake/ocean/other suitable body of water, I’ll regret wasting too much time on boring, meaningless things. Procrastination seems to be a way of life for me.…

Sorry I’ve been away. I’ve been very busy, but also not feeling well at all for the last five days or so. I think that I might have an anxiety problem. On Friday night I had a headache that wouldn’t go away, and all day Saturday I was nauseous and dizzy, and…

Here’s something you don’t know about me, loyal readers: I seldom have any of the symptoms that go along with PMS. Sure, I sometimes feel a tad bloated during that time of the month, but in general I’m a lucky lady – no cramps, headaches, mood swings, or any of…

I’ve been having some weird dreams lately. A few of the things I’ve been dreaming about: 1) Friday Night. Trying to catch and hold 2 pretty large fish, with my hands, inside of an apartment. For some reason I was plucking the two fish out of some space (a pool? the…

So something odd happened today, and I thought I’d share it. I was out shopping, just taking care of some things that needed to get done. I was at a shopping center, in between getting a broken nail fixed (yes, I’ve graduated into girly girl mode) and finding out more…

OK, so I lied. I’m not into nudie mags. But one of my best friends is publishing one, and despite my potentially damning lack of interest in explorations of sexuality (sorry Theo!), I can still see that this is going to be one of those amazing projects that everyone is…

I don’t know if you guys have been keeping up with the news lately, but there have been quite a few articles in the last few days about women in the workplace. First, there was the article about the new CEO of Yahoo cutting out work-from-home privileges for her employees until further…
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!
