There Is Still Plenty of Life to Live

By The Artful Woman
Lately, it has been hot, so I decided to do something that would make life a little easier. I cooked a bunch of different meals in the crock pot, put them into containers, and froze them. That way, when the weather is hot, I wouldn't have to do much cooking. Then a flyer came in from the local Mexican market. They had pineapples, plantains, mangoes, watermelon, cucumbers—fresh fruits and vegetables at really good prices. They also had beef shanks. So after the gym, I had my caretaker take me to the store. I already had plenty of food at home. I had meals in the freezer, food in the refrigerator, and everything I needed. I wasn't going to the store because I was running out of food. But when I got there, something happened. I felt happy. The store was colorful and full of fresh food. I could choose one of this, two of that, three of something else. I wasn't limited to whatever quantity happened to come in a package. I could actually look at what I wanted and decide what I wa...

Unlocking Abundance: A Guide to Using the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards Without a Guidebook

Image
By The Artful Woman

 


When I first purchased the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue and Grant Virtue, I was eager to explore the insights they promised. However, I quickly discovered that the guidebook was missing—a common issue, as this deck has been out of print since 2016 and is now considered a collector's item . Undeterred, I embarked on a journey to understand and connect with these cards, developing my own method of interpretation. If you've found yourself in a similar situation, this guide is for you.​

Creating a Sacred Space

Begin by setting the mood for your reading. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Light a candle, burn some incense, or play soft, calming music to enhance the atmosphere. This sacred space will help you attune to the energies of the cards and your own intuition.​

Cleansing and Consecrating the Cards

Before your first reading, it's essential to cleanse the cards of any residual energies. You can do this by holding the deck in your hands and visualizing a bright white light enveloping them, or by smudging them with sage or palo santo. Once cleansed, consecrate the cards by holding them to your heart and setting your intention, asking for guidance and clarity in your readings 

Connecting with the Cards

  1. Set Your Intention: Clearly state what you seek guidance on, whether it's a specific question or general insight into your path to abundance.​

  2. Shuffle the Deck: As you shuffle, focus on your intention. You may also say a prayer or affirmation, such as, "May these cards provide clarity and guidance for my highest good."​

  3. Draw a Card: Once you feel ready, draw a card from the deck. Pay attention to any thoughts, feelings, or images that arise as you do so.​

Interpreting the Cards Without a Guidebook

Each card in the Angels of Abundance deck features a message and imagery designed to inspire and guide. Here's how to interpret them:​

  • Read the Message: Reflect on the words printed on the card. How do they relate to your current situation or question?​

  • Observe the Imagery: Take note of the colors, symbols, and figures depicted. What emotions or thoughts do they evoke?​

  • Trust Your Intuition: Your inner guidance is a powerful tool. Allow your feelings and impressions to inform your understanding of the card's message.​

Remember, there's no right or wrong interpretation. The key is to connect with the cards in a way that resonates with you.​

Integrating the Guidance

After interpreting the card, consider how its message applies to your life. What actions can you take to align with this guidance? You might choose to journal your insights, meditate on the message, or set intentions based on the card's theme.​

Final Thoughts

While the absence of a guidebook can be challenging, it also offers an opportunity to deepen your intuitive connection with the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards. By creating a sacred space, setting clear intentions, and trusting your inner wisdom, you can unlock the profound guidance these cards have to offer.​

Six Years Ago, I Survived a Stroke. Eleven Months Ago, Everything Changed Again.

By The Artful Woman
I Almost Forgot My S trokeversary 💔 Please read my story, share this post, and help me get the word out.  Yesterday, August 3rd, marked six years since my stroke. I almost forgot. Not because it isn't important, but because I'm carrying so much pain from the injuries I suffered in my car accident on September 6th, 2025, that my stroke anniversary completely slipped my mind. That first year after my stroke, I honestly thought I was going to die every single day. I was constantly dizzy, scared, and didn't know if life would ever feel normal again. I remember telling myself, If I can just make it through the first year, I'll be okay. I had to learn how to walk, talk, and eat without choking all over again. Then came the second year. The third. Things slowly got easier. Life gradually started feeling normal again. I still have deficits—mostly in my left hand and a little weakness on my left side—for the most part, you couldn't really tell when I walked, or at least tha...

Before You Give Advice, Make Sure You Know the Whole Story

By The Artful Woman
  One of the hardest parts of sharing my recovery online isn't the physical therapy, the setbacks, or even learning to walk again. It's the people who think they know my story after watching three seconds of a video. I recently shared my 10-month recovery update as a new below-knee amputee. The video wasn't asking for gait critiques, medical advice, or strangers to analyze my every step. It was documenting where I am in my journey and celebrating a milestone that took months of pain, determination, surgeries, setbacks, and rehabilitation to reach. I was sharing progress. I was sharing hope. I was sharing what it looks like to start rebuilding a life after a catastrophic accident. But instead of people simply celebrating that milestone, some immediately jumped into telling me what I should be doing differently. "Ditch the crutches." "Take gait lessons." "You're going to fall." Here's the problem. They didn't know my story. They didn...

Sometimes the Setbacks Are a Blessing in Disguise

By The Artful Woman
  Sometimes the Setbacks Are a Blessing in Disguise When you’re rebuilding your life after a life-changing accident, every setback feels like another thing being taken away from you. For me, the last few weeks have been incredibly frustrating. I was finally starting to feel more confident using my prosthetic leg. I was making progress. I was walking more, getting stronger, and beginning to feel like I was getting a piece of my independence back. Then came the blood blisters. My amputated leg developed painful blisters, and suddenly I couldn’t wear my prosthetic. I had no choice but to slow down and give my body time to heal. At first, it felt like another obstacle. Another delay. Another reminder that recovery doesn’t happen on my timeline. But something unexpected happened. My remaining leg and ankle finally seemed to have the time they needed to recover. After my ankle surgery to remove three screws and the plate that had been holding my bone together, I had given it about four w...

Don't Borrow Your Dreams from People Who Never Chased Theirs

By The Artful Woman
Don't Let Someone Else's Limited Thinking Become Your Limitations The reason I wrote this piece is not to rant. I recently lost my photography career after a tragic, catastrophic accident where I lost my leg. Now, once again, I'm being forced to reinvent myself. And that's kind of been the theme of my whole life: reinvention and resilience. I mentioned to some of the people closest to me what I wanted to do next, and boy, did they have opinions of their own. Not only am I still healing ten months after my accident, and my body is still going through trauma, but my brain is also forced to figure out what's next. When I told a couple of people what I wanted to do, they shut me down almost instantly. But then I had to think about their lives. All they've ever done was exchange their time for money. They don't understand me. I'm a creative person. I don't punch in and punch out for a J-O-B. So, I'm guarding my plans closely and only sharing them with...
