Continue reading →: Mid January Slump
Dudes, you must be tired of me giving up and starting, over and over again. I sure as hell am. But here I am, the girl who had cookies for breakfast AND dessert yesterday, reconfirming my plan to lose this weight. I actually did Zumba a few times this week,…

Continue reading →: Well Hello, Sunday!
Sundays used to be the most relaxing day of the week. I slept in late, woke up for a spot of breakfast (normally prepared by The Man, as he’s such a go-getter in the morning), then just generally sat around and watched TV, read a book, whatever else. Since I…

Continue reading →: Dreaming is Also Apparently Lucrative
In my last post, I talked about really wanting to prove myself in my field, and needing to move on with my career if I were to ever accomplish that goal. For most of this week, I was concentrating heavily on a lot of upcoming media events my company is…

Today’s Weight: 157.4 lbs. Today’s Mood: Great! Today’s Everything Else: Man, am I beat. I woke up this morning at 9am, thanks in part to our next door neighbor, a carpenter who also likes to blast music loudly enough to listen to over the drone of his table saw. Fortunately,…

Today was a great day! I went out running first thing, and logged 2.4 miles at a 10:10 pace. The route was different this morning, just to shake things up a bit. It took me through the Central Business District (CBD), by a lot of gorgeous old warehouse & loft-type…

Continue reading →: More Motivation Than I’d Hoped For
Not sure of today’s weight – I didn’t check. Today’s mood was great, if a little tired. It was a long week, and today I ran a couple of miles, then came home and did an hour of Zumba. On top of the physically tiring activity, my mind is racing.…

It’s still a little early to be counting my chickens, but I think that something awesome might have happened yesterday. Without going into too much detail, it looks I’ll be receiving some money that I didn’t expect. It’s money that I’ll eventually have to pay back at a very small…

Continue reading →: The Baby Conundrum
For most of my youth, I was fervently against having children. The very idea sounded pretty damn awful, and when a good friend got pregnant in high school, it kind of sealed the deal for me that there was no way I wanted to have kids. I didn’t put a…
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!
