So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

By The Artful Woman
  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

Living in Abundance: It’s More Than Just Money

Image
By The Artful Woman

As I picked boysenberries from the vines I planted myself, I couldn’t help but smile. The berries were juicy, ripe, and plentiful—so many, in fact, I shared them with my chickens.

And in that quiet moment, surrounded by nature’s generosity, I felt it deep in my soul:

I am already living an abundant life.

For years, I believed abundance was something I had to chase. That it looked like bank accounts, business wins, or financial freedom. But lately, I’ve been learning a deeper truth:
Abundance isn’t something outside of me. It’s something I live every day.

Abundance is Growing All Around Me

This spring, flowers have exploded across my yard—the very ones I planted last fall when the ground was bare and the air was filled with quiet hope. Now they bloom wildly, colorfully, and unapologetically. Isn’t that what abundance is? To plant, to trust, and to be surprised by beauty?

I grow fruit trees, herbs, boysenberries and grapes. I get my hands dirty. I feel connected to the earth. Bees hum around me, butterflies dance in the breeze, and even seeds find their way to places I never intended—yet somehow, beauty still finds a way to grow.

Abundance is everywhere, even in the tiniest pollinators and the unexpected blooms.

My Animals Are Part of My Abundance

My five chickens, two cats, two baby tortoises, and my sweet dog—these aren’t just pets. They are my family. They bring joy, laughter, unconditional love, and endless lessons in presence.

Every morning when I collect eggs or watch my tortoises sunbathe, I feel rich.
Rich in love. Rich in life. Rich in connection.

The Real Abundance Mindset

An abundance mindset isn’t just about manifesting wealth—it’s about recognizing the overflow that already exists around you.

It’s about knowing that:

  • There is more than enough love, joy, and beauty to go around.

  • The Universe is generous—not stingy.

  • Your heart can be full even if your wallet is still a work in progress.

Abundance is picking berries in your backyard.
Abundance is dancing barefoot in your kitchen.
Abundance is being loved by animals who don’t care what you earn.


You Can Be Rich Right Now

I used to think I’d feel abundant once I had more money, more success, more “proof” of prosperity.

But now I realize—I’ve been living an abundant life all along.

I just had to open my heart and see it.

And that’s the gift I want to offer you today:
If you’re always searching for abundance out there, take a breath. Look around. What’s already growing? What’s already loving you? What’s already supporting you, even quietly?

You may already be living in the overflow.

From My Garden to Yours…

Abundance isn’t a number. It’s a feeling. A way of life. A belief that you are connected to something generous, wise, and ever-growing.

So go ahead—plant the seeds.
Tend to what matters.
Love what’s right in front of you.
And trust…

When you live with gratitude, you’re already living in abundance.

And if you’re calling in more—more clarity, more money, more joy—remember this:
You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to chase it.
You don’t even have to know how it will happen.

You just have to know what you want and why it matters.
The how will meet you once you start walking.

Take the next step. Even if it’s small. Even if it’s messy.
Because every dream begins with a brave decision to move—even before the path is fully clear.

Release the effort. Trust the timing. And know that what’s meant for you is already making its way.

“I release the how. I trust the flow. I am open, ready, and already abundant.”

Mastering Meditation: Embrace Distractions and Deepen Your Practice

By The Artful Woman
​ Meditation often conjures images of serene stillness and unwavering focus. Yet, for many, the reality includes a flurry of thoughts, fleeting moments of clarity, and the challenge of maintaining concentration. If you've ever felt disheartened by a wandering mind during meditation, know that you're not alone—and that these experiences are a natural part of the journey. ​ 1. Acknowledge and Return—Without Judgment Distractions are not failures; they're opportunities to strengthen your focus. When a thought arises and pulls you away from your meditation, gently acknowledge it—perhaps thinking, "There's a thought"—and then return your attention to your chosen focal point, such as your breath or a visualization. This act of returning is like exercising a muscle; each redirection enhances your mental resilience. ​ 2. Anchor Yourself to Sensations Engaging your senses can ground your practice: ​ Body Sensations: If you're visualizing a ball of ligh...

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

By The Artful Woman
Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

By The Artful Woman
For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...
