I Wanted to Be in the Best Shape of My Life at 60. Then I Lost My Leg.

By The Artful Woman
  Before my accident, I kept saying the same thing to myself: I want to be in the best shape of my life when I turn 60. I meant it. I was hiking, walking, going to the gym. I was building strength in my body and imagining a future where I kept getting stronger, not weaker. Then the accident happened. I was still 59. I turned 60 in a hospital bed. I lost a leg. I fractured my other leg in multiple places. I broke ribs. I had vertebrae injuries. My body went into heart and kidney failure. Pain became constant, not occasional. Everything I thought I was building… was suddenly gone. And for a long time, I couldn’t understand something: If I was focusing on health, strength, and vitality… how did I end up here? I used to think maybe I did something wrong. Maybe I thought wrong. Maybe I “manifested” the wrong thing. But I’m starting to see something different now. Life isn’t a formula where good thoughts guarantee safe outcomes. Bodies exist in a world where accidents happen, s...

Set Your Mind for Success: 2025 Goals for Photographers & Creatives

Before we dive into setting goals and taking action in 2025, let’s talk about something even more important—your mindset. Success starts in your mind before it ever shows up in your business.

Before you begin your work each day, take a moment to visualize the success you want. See yourself fully booked, making great money, and doing work that excites you. Set a clear intention for the results you want—whether it’s landing new clients, increasing sales, or growing your brand.

Affirm your success with positive mantras:
✨ I am a successful photographer/creative.
✨ I attract dream clients who value my work.
✨ Money flows easily and abundantly to me.
✨ Every step I take brings me closer to my goals.

Your thoughts shape your reality. When you believe in your success, you naturally take the right actions to make it happen. So, as you set your goals for 2025, start with a powerful mindset—one that aligns with the success you’re creating.

Now, let’s get to work! 🚀


Marketing Goals for Photographers in 2025: Get Booked & Paid Without Burnout

Nothing changes unless you take action! I’ve been guilty of feeling inspired, then doing nothing. I don’t want that for you!

Here are some goals to help you implement what you’ve learned and grow your business this year:

  1. Focus on Revenue First – Start each day by doing what will get you to your income goal the fastest. Whether it’s running an ad, answering an email, responding to a text, making a call, or posting a blog—prioritize money-making tasks first. I’m not big on social media, but I love content marketing because it drives real results.

  2. Make a List – Identify the areas of your business you want to improve.

  3. Prioritize – Rank your list by what excites you most or what will have the biggest impact.

  4. Break It Down – Turn each goal into small, actionable steps. If it still feels overwhelming, break it down further. Remember—even baby steps count. Small steps turn into strides, then leaps and bounds!

  5. Set Due Dates – Give yourself realistic deadlines to stay accountable and avoid burnout.

  6. Batch Your Tasks – Group similar tasks together, like writing multiple emails at once or scheduling social media or blog posts, to maximize efficiency.

  7. Take Breaks – Overloading yourself stifles creativity. Step away when needed to recharge. Get up and move around, take a walk, or do something that re-inspires you.

  8. Get to Work! – Even the smallest steps create momentum. Use tools like Google Calendar to stay on track and turn “someday” into success.

By The Artful Woman
   PRESS RELEASE  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Survivor of Ortega Highway Head-On Collision Speaks Out on Life-Altering Injuries, Recovery, and Road Safety Awareness Lake Elsinore, California — 6-17-2026  — A California woman is speaking publicly about the life-changing impact of a head-on collision on the  Ortega Highway , calling for greater awareness around reckless driving, road safety, and the long-term human cost of split-second decisions behind the wheel. On September 6th, while driving carefully and allowing extra time on a route she had always approached with caution, she was struck head-on by a driver who crossed into her lane. Her vehicle was sent flying before crashing into a tree, which ultimately stopped her car from going further and likely saved her life.

Walking Through Fear While My Life Is Still Unstable

By The Artful Woman
  Walking Through Fear Anyway: When Survival Becomes a Daily Choice I’m at risk of losing my housing right now. That sentence alone feels surreal to write, but it’s my reality. I’ve already survived things most people only ever read about. A catastrophic accident. A medically induced coma. An amputation. Metal now holding parts of my body together—including my vertebrae, and my left leg from my knee to my ankle. I’m still learning what all of this means in real time, because even now, no one has fully explained every part of what happened to me. I also don’t remember the accident itself. Not because I’m avoiding it—but because my mind shut it out. The trauma was so severe, and my body was so critically compromised, that everything went into survival shutdown. I had kidney failure and heart failure. My body was shutting down, and my brain shut down with it. What I do remember is the day. I remember my thought process clearly in the beginning. I remember thinking I wasn’t in a...

I fiercely protect my energy — and let me tell you why.

By The Artful Woman
  I fiercely protect my energy — and let me tell you why. For most of my life, I’ve been the type of person people could count on. A good person. Someone who would show up, give, listen, and hold space. But when you’re wired like that, people often mistake it for weakness. Instead of honoring it, they take advantage. They lean on it. They drain it. I call them time bandits, energy thieves, and soul snatchers — people who see your kindness as an open door to take, take, and take some more. And when you don’t have boundaries, they will absolutely drain you. And for me, being an empath only intensified that experience. I feel things deeply. I absorb the emotions, chaos, and energy of the people around me. At first, I didn’t even realize it wasn’t mine. I carried other people’s burdens like they were my own. And when it got too heavy, when the overload became unbearable, I didn’t have tools to release it. So I numbed. I distracted myself. I tried to bury it. But here’s the truth: a lo...

When Trauma Breaks Your Reality, You Start Questioning Everything

By The Artful Woman
  I came across a quote recently that stopped me in my tracks: “Quantum physics is where they hide the scientific proof of spirituality.” And honestly? After everything I’ve survived, that line hit differently. A few years ago, I probably would have read that quote and simply thought it sounded interesting. But trauma has a way of stripping life down to its rawest truths. After my stroke… after my accident… after losing a limb and watching my entire identity collapse in front of me… I started questioning everything I thought I knew about healing, reality, energy, and what it truly means to survive. Because when your body experiences extreme trauma, you realize very quickly that healing is not just physical. It’s emotional. Mental. Energetic. Spiritual. Science is finally catching up to what ancient spiritual traditions have taught for centuries: everything is energy. Our thoughts affect our bodies. Stress changes the nervous system. Fear impacts healing. Intention matters. Human b...
