Hey everyone! It’s me, Krystale with the Krystale Explains It All blog...well, this was really supposed to be a vlog. It seems today was one of those days everything that could go wrong technically...did. It’s okay because I’m back to my familiar place....writing it down!
I know you maybe wondering what do I mean by,Spend Some Money? Well, let’s get into it. I know during this pandemic we were in a recession as jobs were terminated, people missed weeks from work due to COVID, and we had so much uncertainty about our nation’s future let alone the economy as we watched the President “wing it” for 4 long years. Most of us started budgeting more and really started penny pinching. It became a challenge to even allow ourselves to spend money, but let me tell you....SPEND SOME MONEY, Sis. If you are aware of the Law of Attraction then you know everything that you put into the Universe you will also receive. That also means that you must know that you are the same energy as money. Money is paper. We are spiritual beings...YOU ARE the Money! You control how much you make and how much you spend. Money is energy just like everything else...and its just paper!!! It’s value is placed by representation only! Another word for money is currency. Currency means flowing. So if you are holding on to it...how can you make room for more if it’s supposed to always flow? Now, this doesn’t mean go out and spend all your money on frivolous items, or spend your bill money and savings on that dream Ferrari. No, what we teach in our financial group is you should at least save $3,000 for emergency cash. You need a savings, but you should also never be AFRAID to spend the money you have readily available. If you are a business owner or you know you have the money to invest in something for your business, and it has been in your spirit...Spend some money, SiS! Alot of times we are so hesitant to spend money on things that can increase our growth not because we don’t have it...but because we are ultimately afraid it will not be replaced. When you spend money without hesitation you are showing God or the Universe that you trust that it will be returned. Which puts you in a position to receive more abundance. I say this is especially true for business owners and people who are in a stage of personal growth. For me, it was investing in an online academy for my business and personal development. It was a $69 course, and I contemplated for a month before I decided if I can’t trust that God will replace $69 for a course that will be helpful how I can trust that I will have a 6 figure business? The signs were there. The course was originally $299 but went on sale. I knew once I put it in the atmosphere that I wanted to take the course if it was in alignment the Universe would make a way for me to attend....and that $69 sale was my nudge from the Universe saying, “Spend some money, Sis!” If there is something you want don’t be afraid to ask the Universe/God to make it possible if it is in alignment with your purpose.There will be signs. It will go on sale, it will be on your mind constantly, or you may even hear a business partner or friend mention it. Learn to pay attention to the signs the Universe gives you. Also...let’s talk about self care. Yes! Self care is important! If there are little things that you like to do or want to do for yourself stop being hesitant. Things that you do for yourself make you feel good and raise your vibrations. Just recently, my husband convinced me to start spending time at the spa pampering myself with manicures and pedicures. I would give myself manis and pedis at home, but I absolutely felt like it was just too much to go sit and pay someone do something I can do for free. Then when I started to go, I realized just because I was doing it myself I wasn’t getting the same experience of being pampered in a quiet nail salon instead of pulling out my foot spa trying to give myself a pedicure while telling my 3 year old to stop running in the house. Our conditioning or how we are taught to view money can sometimes hinder our abundance or enjoyment of it. For me, I was raised in a middle class home, but my father was very frugal. I watched my father and mother work extremely hard, but we still bought generic brand medicine like WalTussin instead of Robitussin. We lived on a budget, but we were always able to take trips and ultimately enjoy life. When I became a teenage mother alot of times what I wanted to do for myself was sacrificed because my daughter’s needs and wants came before my own. I couldn’t afford to get my nails done and buy her the new Adidas. That’s when I adopted the mindset if I can do it myself... why pay someone? If you find yourself getting anxiety or buyers remorse often ask yourself...why do I feel this way about money? When you identify where your beliefs about money originated them you can evaluate how to make the money work for you, and you dot have to work for the money. Stop worrying about money...Money is a resource fo us to use and there is no reason for us to be anxious over spending it. Even the bible talks about if God can take care of the sparrow that flies in the sky...How much more will he provide for his children? Spend some money, Sis!

We celebrated Resurrection Sunday and here are a few pics of my beautiful family, minus my oldest daughter who now works as Home Health Nurse.
If you are wondering where I got my dress and that cute little lemon purse...Amazon of course! It was super cute, but definitely not recommended for ladies with big boobs. I had to go braless, and chile...the girls turned into an old negro spiritual, "swing low sweet chariot!" lol I highly recommend for my sisters who are less blessed up top.
I am super excited I have officially launched the Krystale Explains It All Vlog on youtube! I will do better with posting the vlogs to this blog. I am truly thankful for the vision and and the direction that is taking place. I also wanted to share a poem that I wrote in light of the the trial of the officer who killed George Floyd:
Silence We stayed silent when, They took us from our homes, Where we were Kings ands Queens on thrones, We stayed silent. We stayed silent when we were bruised,whipped, and beaten, Cut, hung, and severely mistreated, we stayed silent. we stayed silent when your preconceived notions and stereotypes, judged us by the color of our skin, and not the character of the person within, we stayed silent. we stayed silent when, our blood was shed on the concrete and they told us not to speak, we stayed silent. Don’t move! Don’t run! Put your hands up, and Stay Silent. We stayed silent when they traded in their white sheets for blue uniforms and used their authority hiding behind there 3 branches in their nicely tailored suits….The same 3 branches that my people still hang from...the modern and metaphorical Strange Fruit. We Stay Silent, but we still sing, Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty, Liberty? You say we have freedom, but what happened to justice for you and for me? LIBERTY… But why are the ones that killed Sandra, Breonna, Tamir, George, Korryn and the rest of us… why are they still free? WE will not BE SILENT As always, ACT IN LOVE WALK BY FAITH EXPRESS WITHOUT FEAR Im learning how to keep my space stress free and drama free. As a Creative, and also being on this higher spiritual journey, I know its just certain energy I just can’t rock with. It has nothing to do with the person, but their spirit and their vibes either aren’t conducive to what I’m trying to achieve, or to put it quiet simply...their energy could be the trigger to either lower my vibrations...or get cursed the hell out. I told ya’ll I’m new on this journey and far from perfect. This why it’s so important for me to remain consistent with this blog because this is my journey, and there are still some parts of me that are still at war. It’s important for my readers to see my growth...
Recently, I had a friend a very close friend say some very racially insensitive things in light of the things that happened at the Capitol. I was made aware of her remarks and posts supporting Trump when she became more vocal and political on her social media after getting married, but this was the first time I saw a post directed towards African Americans. The post was racially insensitive to the Black Lives Matter Movement and to human rights in general.I had to eliminate myself from the situation. To think that someone I considered a friend would so proudly support the destruction of our Nation’s Capitol and use a meme shamefully portraying the BLM movement as a violent riot while comparing EVERYTHING that these white Americans did to our nation’s capitol as a peaceful protest... was downright appalling to me. It was a despicable, deplorable, racially insensitive, and downright ignorant and offensive thing to post. Friend or no friend...Trump being elected revealed a alot about this country that alot of our so called friends didn’t have the courage to express because they didn’t have one of their own running the country. It’s disheartening to think someone I once called a friend would think that something like that would be acceptable to post. I’m protecting my energy. At first, I contemplated confronting her about the offensive post, but then I realized:she does not owe me an explanation because I have no value in her life. If I meant that much to her she would have never posted such hateful things. 2021 I’m guarding my vibes, my peace, and my thoughts...what about you? While it seems the racist rednecks savages....oh excuse me, the Republican party are tearing down the doors of our nation's capitol...Hey ya'll!!!! Your girl is back !!!!! As you can see my blog had a little makeover. 2020 was a year most of us never would have ever imagined, and who would of thought Future's, "Mask Off" would be the 2020 anthem? 2020 was a year the racists came out, we lost Deebo, Kobe, and Black Panther, and the holiday's just weren't the same as many of us were afraid to visit granny with our arch nemesis COVID lurking as a reminder that it would and could infect anybody....even me.
All in all, 2020 was a year I learned more about myself on a much deeper perspective as my relationship with God challenged me to go even further. I had been praying to God for more spiritual food. That's when I found out about manifesting. I became fascinated, but somewhat scared. Was this witchcraft? I could remember one of my friends telling me about crystals and frequency sounds, and when she told me, I remember calling our other friend laughing when I should have had a more open mind. I was wrong for laughing because who am I to condemn someone else's beliefs? Do I believe in crystals and frequencies? I believe in energy. I remember a long time ago I told my parents that scientific reasoning closely related to spirituality and religion... I couldn't explain it then, I now know that to think that our God who makes these two things meant for them to be separate are just as close minded as the people who categorize human beings by the color of their skin. I began to dig deeper and asked the Spirit to guide every book, every thought every action, and my understanding because I was still confused with what I had been taught and what I was learning from Coach Stacy, and Sparkle Marie. One thing I knew was that the Bible said, Test and approve all prophesies and the manifestation coaches said, "alignment". That's when things started to click My bible says, " Faith the size of a mustard seed you can say to this mountain be moved," and what I'm learning is telling me that you can move that mountain because it's energy just like you are. Quantum physics teaches us that whatever you visualize in the "now" and whatever it is you want you can make it happen because it's little particles of energy...it's the same thing is faith. While becoming more spiritual I learned just by practicing small manifestations, things started happening. I would do the work and the challenges from Boot camps through different manifestation coaches I followed half heartedly believing, because there was still that part was conditioned with my limited beliefs that I had been taught. I still believed I had to separate what I learned in church from what I was learning from within my spirit. When in actuality just like everything else that is a part of God's ultimate greatness they are one in the same...just interpreted and communicated differently for those to understand. What if...Through prayer, visualization, meditation, and manifestation that the purpose that God intended for you and the Power HE truly wants you to have comes from a deeper spiritual meaning? The Bible also speaks in 1st Corinthians 3 about living in the Spirit and living in the world as the apostle uses the analogy of milk and food to show spiritual maturity. I always learned that BIBLE means the BOOK OF INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING THE EARTH...but just imagine if that is truly just the milk God wanted us to have...and the meat is actually walking in the Spirit digging a little deeper with our relationship and truly understanding the power of our Spirit, our Energy, our Words, Our Thoughts...Our Actions... and All of this is actually...the BLUEPRINT on how to LIVE before Leaving this EARTH? STAY TUNED ON THIS JOURNEY GUYS... XOXO KRYSTALE JANE'L I found one of the BEST educational toys for my now 3 year old daughter. As a stay at home mom/ Momtrepreneur, I have to find creative ways to keep my daughter engaged. We have Leap Frogs, learning apps on tablets, Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Puppies, and so many other cool toys to help her learn, but the Vtech Explore & Write Desk is by far the best!
The desk includes a two sided electronic tabletop and comes with two extra pages that you insert into the top of the desk. The pages include learning activities such as learning body parts, colors, fruits, and even musical instruments with a keyboard on the page that actually plays when you push the keys. One of the best features is it also has a a small writing pad that folds out that helps your child to learn how to write letters by tracing the electronic dots with a pen. After a few uses, my Bug was able to write the letter C and A all by herself! Which brings me to the next feature, the electronic desk flips over and you have a writing station with a clip board and holders to attach your paper and pencils or crayons. This is a great feature because after learning, you can flip the table over for some creative time. I bought the desk at Target for &48. Which is a great price for such a great toy. My daughter absolutely loves it. You can also buy different sets of pages you can attach. I think the learning pages have been discontinued, but I found a few of the sets on EBay. This little gem also comes in purple and pink for girls, it includes a little stool, and it’s definitely a toy your child can use for a few years. Here are some pictures below: As a mom, wife, and business owner my mind is constantly going. I'm always thinking of what to do next, what I need to do, and what I just did. The hardest life lesson I learned was learning how to be still.
In the midst of turmoil when life throws so many things at you that test your faith, relationships, and even sanity the last thing you want to do is be silent, still and wait on God. It's human nature to want to fix things on your own accord. Especially...when you are at war with everything that makes sense and everything God has told you and already shown you. I immediately did everything humanly possible but listen to God. The more I did; the more discouraged I would become when it didn't work. The more I felt myself questioning everything, and the more tension it was in my household because my husband and kids fed off my energy. When you have times like this, you have to make sure you are around friends that can uplift you and friends who are spiritual. Don't be too prideful to ask for help. God assigns people to help you that won't judge, that won't tell you what you should of done, and that won't question you or your situation because they are real friends. Sometimes God may put you in a situation just to humble you or reveal who are assigned by God or who are only meant to be in your life for a season.When you tune God out sometimes God tunes your loved ones in. I finally told my best friend what was going on and how I felt. She immediately asked, "Have you been still and actually listened to God? Have you tuned out the noise from what's going on on earth and actually listened to what God is requiring of you? If you tried everything the world wants you to try... and it's not working...maybe you need to be still. It made since when she said that. I wasn't sleeping at all at night. I know that when God wakes you up in the middle of the night He's trying to tell you something. So if I wasn't sleeping at it must be an urgent message from God! I was still praying, but my prayers were half hearted and empty and God knew that. That night I was still and silent. The message was clear: If you trusted me then trust me now. You are overwhelmed because you aren't on the path I set before you. You are more worried about worldly things than the things I told you in my Word. You are running yourself crazy when I have asked you to be still and trust me. " That night i slept better than I had in weeks! Sometimes you can be the busiest person in the world, but God still wants you to be still and trust him. When you are in the midst of turmoil and you can't figure out what to do or it doesn't seem to work... be still and trust God. When you just yearn to hear God's voice because you need the familiarity of knowing He is with you...be still and trust God. |
