I always say Growth happens when we are uncomfortable, and sometimes the best things come from hard things, like a diamond. Before it can sparkle a diamond is in the dark, under a ton of pressure and heat. Under all that weight it changes, it rearranges, it doesn't just shatter, it emerges a beautiful bright diamond.

The past six months have been a bit quieter on my end, because I was undergoing my own Crystalization process. I have had to navigate unexpected, quiet challenges that have taken a heavy toll on my peace, my health, and my sparkle. At times the weight felt overwhelming and almost too much to take, but I am a diamond.

Standing firm in my truth, protecting my space, and an amazing support system allowed me the ability to fight fiercely to keep my light from being completely dimmed!!

Through the quiet reflection, tears and that strength that only a diamond truly has, I am working my way back to myself, my camera and my mission.

Emerging from the deep dark is a beautiful strong SUPER SPARKLY Crystal who is READDDDDYYYY!!!

I am ready to get back to what it is all about, and how it all started. Helping women, fostering connections, having fun, creating amazing art, and having more fun!

First, I was off Celebrating 20 years of Marriage!

Since we are getting personal and before I jump into work stuff, I wanted to share a milestone with you all, 20 years of marriage with my husband!! I took a week off of work and escaped to a cabin in the woods on a lake with a hot tub. It was magical and everything that I needed!!

One of the things that I have struggled with my entire life, was having people come into my life and then abandoned me. So when Daniel asked me to Marry him only a month after we met, marry me 5 months later, and continue to love me through all of my seasons is truly the best feeling and I am so grateful I went to that club that night! haha

With his support he has allowed me to follow my dreams and my passion, which is helping women and I truly don't know where I would be without him, probably still trying to get my tub into the studio! haha

The Sparkle Soirée is right around the corner on May 30th!

Community Events

I really want to get back to the community, having fun and really fostering those connections friendships!! So I want to start planning more events for the community!!

I want to start a weekly walking club where we meet up and go for a walk, nothing too crazy or hard but the weather is getting nicer and let's get out there and have some fun!!

Arts and craft days- I LOVE crafting and would love to set up a monthly arts and craft day, but let's be honest I can't do everything so I would need some help with this, so if you're interested and able, let me know and let's get this going!!

Meal Club- last year we would meet monthly for a meal, I would love to get this going again!!

And so much more, there is going to be so much fun stuff coming, so keep an eye on your email and be sure you are in the Facebook Crystalized Community group where I post the most!

My Jerry Springer Final Thought

To my incredible community, and to the clients who have held space for me, sent quiet words of encouragement, and stood by me over the years, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your trust means more to me now than ever.

I am choosing to rise, choosing to shine, and ready to Sparkle!! The path forward is a journey, and I am grateful to be walking it with you.

Let’s shine together. 💎✨

With love and so much gratitude,

Crystal
