It’s time for me to start telling my story.

By The Artful Woman
 It’s time for me to start telling my story. For a long time, I stayed quiet outside of a very small circle of close friends. I shared only enough to stay connected, but not enough to be fully seen. That wasn’t avoidance—it was protection. After my accident, my nervous system and my energy field simply could not take in more input from the outside world. As an empath, I had to retreat in order to survive and heal. But as my strength slowly returns, I feel that silence shifting. I was in a tragic accident on Ortega Highway that changed the entire course of my life. In an instant, everything I knew about my body, my independence, and my future was disrupted. Since then, I’ve been forced into a long and ongoing process of rebuilding—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And I’m still in it. Even the simplest things that most people take for granted have become daily challenges. Basic mobility. Using the restroom safely and in time. Navigating transfers ...

The Power of Forgiveness

Image
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.

Why I’m Still Here

By The Artful Woman
  Why I’m Still Here By Jean Marshall I’ve asked myself the question more times than I can count: Why am I still here? After a stroke that changed my life five years ago, I thought I had already learned resilience. I thought I had already been tested. But then came the accident — a beautiful September morning that shattered my body, altered my future, and once again forced me to start over from the ground up. There are days I still can’t fully understand it. One man’s poor decision, one wrong moment, and everything changed. My bones broke. My leg was lost. My body shut down. My life — the one I’d built with so much effort — came to a stop. But somehow, my heart didn’t. They tell me it took over twenty doctors and nurses to keep me alive that day. I was in an induced coma, held together by machines, prayers, and the hands of strangers. There were moments I thought I was dying — I even said my last prayers. But each time I surrendered, something unseen pulled me back. Something...

Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident

By The Artful Woman
  Help Me Stay Housed While Recovering From a Life-Changing Accident On September 6th, my life changed in an instant when a driver crossed into my lane on Ortega Highway and hit me head-on. My car was thrown into the air and I nearly lost my life. My vehicle was completely totaled. I spent four months in the hospital. The first part was in a trauma unit where I was placed in an induced coma and underwent multiple life-saving surgeries. I was then transferred to an acute care facility where I required critical support, including IVs, a tracheostomy, a feeding tube, and dialysis. My injuries included: Loss of my right leg Six broken ribs and two vertebrae Broken pelvis, right arm, and wrist Multiple fractures in my left leg Kidney and heart failure from trauma Many of my injuries required surgical repair with metal hardware that I am still healing from After returning home, my focus has been recovery. I’ve faced infections, complications, and delayed healing that hav...

From Stuck to Unstuck After Stroke

By The Artful Woman
 After my stroke, my brain struggled to make connections. Simple tasks became frustrating marathons. It was tempting to give up, to stay stuck in that place of indecision and confusion. But I discovered a powerful truth: clarity comes from action. By pushing past the discomfort and frustration, by taking action even when the path seemed unclear, I found solutions emerging. Overwhelming problems started to make sense. The "monumental" tasks became manageable steps. Just like the saying goes, "done is better than perfect." Even without complete clarity, taking action in the direction I wanted to go brought answers and a sense of purpose. Stuckness is a choice. It's the comfort zone of inaction. But even with an injured brain, progress is possible. By pushing past the mental resistance, the "stop and give up" voices, and taking that next step, clarity emerges. Action is the key to progress, not perfection. Seven Months After My Stroke
