I’m Tired of Being Tested. I’m Ready to Feel Blessed.

By The Artful Woman
I’m Tired of Being Tested. I’m Ready to Feel Blessed. Lately, I’ve been diving into teachings about energy, abundance, nervous system healing, and consciousness. I started listening to books like The Body Code , revisiting some of the work from David R. Hawkins and his Map of Consciousness, and exploring ideas around changing your emotional “state” to shift your life. At first, I think I approached it from a place of frustration. Because honestly? I’m tired. Tired of surviving. Tired of fear. Tired of feeling like life is one long series of lessons, tests, trauma, recovery, rebuilding, and “overcoming.” After surviving a stroke, years of emotional healing, toxic relationships, financial fear, and then a catastrophic accident that completely changed my life — including losing part of my limb and enduring multiple surgeries, recovery, pain, trauma, and the emotional aftermath of rebuilding my life all over again — I realized something: My nervous system learned survival so deeply tha...

The Power of Forgiveness

By The Artful Woman

 


Lately, I’ve been reflecting deeply on the concept of forgiveness. I want to develop my psychic abilities and explore the metaphysical world, but I realize that holding onto old pain, anger, and resentment is blocking my spiritual growth. People have hurt me in ways that are difficult to forgive—from abuse and violence to lies, betrayal, and damage to my reputation and business. The weight of these past wounds has kept me tethered to negativity for too long.

Today, a realization struck me: I don’t have to reconcile with these people or allow them back into my life. I don’t have to like them, and they don’t even need to know that I’ve forgiven them. Forgiveness isn’t about them—it’s about me. It’s about releasing the negative energy that lingers, freeing my heart and mind so I can evolve and step into my highest self.

What if reincarnation is real? What if I came back to this life to learn a specific lesson—and that lesson is forgiveness? It’s a daunting thought, considering the depth of pain I’ve experienced. But if I am truly meant to ascend spiritually, I must embrace this challenge.

Even the teachings of God remind us to love our enemies. I am working on sending love and light to those who, in my mind, don’t deserve my prayers. I’ve long believed they should face the karma they have coming, but I’m realizing that thoughts carry energy—energy that lingers, grows, and shapes my reality. If I focus on retribution, I only invite that energy into my own life. I don’t want to be trapped in that cycle anymore.

So, I choose to forgive. I choose to send love and light. I choose to release the pain, not for their sake, but for mine. This shift in perspective—this paradigm shift—is what will propel me to the next level of my spiritual journey. It’s time to move forward, to embrace peace, and to step into a higher dimension of my existence.

I am also currently taking a course in forgiveness and will soon be a certified Forgiveness Coach. If you are struggling with letting go and finding peace, I am here to help.

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...
