Crystal's Blog: Manifestation

Do you desire to be more positive???

Do you see positive people and wonder how on Earth they do that????

I would like to share a simple, yet HIGHLY EFFECTIVE exercise with you.

Once I implemented this routine into my life, I noticed immediate results!!

Begin a Gratitude Journal

The TWO rules of this journal are:
* Every day write 5 things you are grateful for
* You may not repeat anything for 30 days

For me I noticed, that instantly I was going through my day SEARCHING for things to write in that journal... because in the frame of mind I was coming from, this was going to be impossible to come up with this many things to be grateful for.....

It does not matter how big or how small these things are....

Some examples:
I am grateful for my daughters smile
I am grateful for a healthy body
I am grateful for the fragrant flowers growing in my yard
I am grateful that the doorman, held the door open for me

And almost instantly, I found that my mindset had shifted!! I was certainly not looking for or at the negativity any longer....

Jim Rohn says, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change!!!!"

Have you ever noticed that if you go buy a new car, or desire a new car and set that intention.... you suddenly see that exact car ALL OVER TOWN??

This is no coincidence.... This is the LAW OF ATTRACTION in action!!! This is what you are focusing on!!!

Create your journal, change your life, and attract positive energy, thoughts, feelings, and people into your life~

Your Friend Along the Way,

I am in the process of purchasing my first home. I am very fortunate that I live in an area that has not been the least bit affected by the economic challenges that a large portion of the country has faced.

With that said, home have been flying off the market.... some home lasting just one day!

I found a for sale by owner home that I just knew was "the one"..... So I put in an offer on Sunday.... and the waiting began. Since it was a for sale by owner both myself and the seller were figuring out the exact process! As the days began to pass I was getting a little anxious to hear back. Everything had been agreed upon verbally, but the legal lingo seemed to be the hold-up.

Well I finally received the signed purchase and sale agreement back on Wednesday evening!

I took it to my loan officer first thing Thursday morning........ and WOW!!!!!

RATES HAD DROPPED!!! I was able to lock my rate at 5.0%!!!! Absolutely incredible!!!

I see that it is proven again..... PATIENCE PAYS OFF!!!

Trusting the Process to first time home ownership -

A few months back, I decided that I wanted to attend one of Dr Sugar's Amazing Women's Retreats.

I didn't know what it entailed, what we would be doing, talking about, or covering...... But my intuition said GO!!

All I knew was the airport that I was flying into. I had no idea where I was actually going. So as I waited for the limo to pick me up I met a few of the other ladies attending. When I asked where we were going, I was told Pagosa Springs. I had never heard of this place!

We arrive in the driveway of this amazing estate in the Colorado mountains. And down the sidewalk comes Dr Sugar, and another amazing woman.

At this point I had only met Dr Sugar once before at an event. She came and gave me a giant hug!

And next I got a big hug from Lisa. Lisa Collins is Dr. Sugar's Amazing Executive Assistant.

Instantly I felt like I really knew both of these women. They both had incredible energy, and such kind, welcoming spirits.

As the weekend went on, it felt as if I had known these two women my entire life. We danced, we sang, we laughed, we cried, we bonded.

I knew instantly that these two incredible, amazing, fun, energetic women were going to be essential elements to my life forever.

I am so honored to have these two incredible women in my life, to have created such amazing bonds with both of them, and so quickly. I never really understood what a "Soul Sister" was until I met two in the same day!!!!

I love you both, and I thank you both for being such an asset to my life!!!!!

And here's to the many memories we have yet to create!!!!!!!

Once upon a time, about 6 ½ years ago I followed my intuition and really had no idea that that was what I was doing! Or really what intuition was!

It was Christmas Eve, and I had my wisdom teeth removed. (not the best day to do that!!) Well I was back at my Mom’s house, lying on the couch, drugged on pain killers watching tv.

*A little side note….. I had graduated college with my bachelors, took my first job in my area of study and did not like it…. So I had moved back in with my parents and was working odd jobs to just get by….

Not only was I bored, I was feeling uneasy with the fact that I had graduated college and had no idea where I was going or what I was doing!

So as I flipped the channels I turned to the Hawaii Bowl Football game…. I thought…. Hmmmm HONOLULU……

Well long story short, I did just a small amount of research, packed two suitcases, and got on an airplane on Jan 3!!!!!! Just 10 days later!!!!! Talk about a light load, and a lofty dream!!

I landed in Honolulu; my bags didn’t make it….. Talk about a strange feeling. No one waiting for me, in fact I did not know even one person on the island! I had reserved a hotel room for 5 nights, so that was where I was headed.

Now the first couple days, I had TONS of tremendous emotion. Not only had I just up and moved to an island…. Where I did not know one person, I did not have a job, and I did not have a place to live. As I made my way through that first 48 hours, I learned more about myself, grew as a person, and stretched myself further than I would have ever thought possible.

Within 10 days of being there, I had found an apartment to share, I found a job, bought a car, but most of all…… I found an inner strength in myself, that I never knew existed.

I ended up living there for almost 4 years!!! And what an incredible experience it was! I got married there, and had 2 amazing little girls, both born in Honolulu. Looking back, I now know it was indeed my intuition telling me to go. It was exactly what I required in my life at that time. A big change of scenery, and a new found ME!!!

I am about to become a FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER!!!!

I just got pre-approved for a home loan this week and have begun looking at homes. As a single mom, I'm on a budget, and obviously in the market for a turn-key, move in ready home!!! So I highly doubt I will be looking at any fixer uppers!!

Do you have any words of wisdom, suggestions, or advice for me???

I would truly value any input!!!

With Love,
Crystal

Just a couple days ago, I was wishing to myself for just one day to catch up on a few things......

Well I GOT IT!!! Last night my 4 year old seemed to be fighting extra hard to go bed.... telling me her stomach hurt. I still convinced her to go to bed.

At about 11:30 (I had just fallen asleep) I heard a faint yet terrified voice saying "MOMMY"

She was standing at my bedside covered in vomit. She has got sick in her bed, while sound asleep, and was therefore covered. I got her cleaned up, got the bed cleaned up, and put her in my bed.

I got her situated with a bowl, and a large towel to avoid stripping another bed! My poor daughter continued to heave about every 15 - 20 min until almost 4am....

WHICH MEANT I WAS STAYING HOME!!!!!!! As she couldn't go to daycare and I don't have anyone else here to watch her.

Well not only was I exhausted, I hadn't really been to sleep yet, but I also have a 3 year old who was not sick and required my full attention as well.

I guess the moral to my story is be more specific in what you ask for!!!

I got to stay home and spend the day with my girls, got caught up on some cleaning, organizing, and even a little sleep! And now they are both great! We had an excellent girls day!!!!

With Love,
Crystal

Yesterday morning, just about 24 hours ago I was sitting at my desk at work.....

I began to feel like my body was attempting to catch a head cold..... a really good one! I suddenly felt as if a ton of bricks had hit me.

I INSTANTLY DECIDED THIS WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

So I envisioned HEALTHY, HAPPY, WELL, FEELING GREAT.

(I certainly did not feel that way physically!)

I told anyone who asked, I felt great! And even with a smile! I took vitamins, herbs, supplements, and tons of liquids!

My mother said to me last night, "If you're trying to catch a cold you need to take medicine and go to bed."

I SAID I AM NOT TRYING TO CATCH ANYTHING, I AM HEALTHY, WELL AND I FEEL GREAT!

Guess what my BraveHeart Sisters!!!

IT WORKED!!! I FEEL EXCELLENT THIS MORNING!!!

THE POWER OF MANIFESTATION IS EXHILARATING!!! But you must believe it!!

Create a fantastic day!!!
Crystal

As I sat at home with 2 sick babies today, I took phone calls, made calls, and finalized a few of the logistics for tomorrow............

WHEN I BECOME A FIRST TIME HOMEOWNER!!!!

What a process it has been! I have learned so much, starting with the fact I found a For Sale By Owner, and between myself and them, we have done it all ourselves.

Right down to learning some the realities of being a homeowner... such as, "Oh we haven't had the sprinkler lines blown out yet, or turned off the outside water!"

I'll post some pictures soon!!!

Thanks for your support along this journey!! It has been fun, not to mention educational!!

With Love,
Crystal

I received this note this morning from the Universe!! I found it soooo incredible that I had to share!

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday Dear Crystal,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Crystal Jones doesn't come along all that often. In fact, there's never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:

You're the kind of person, Crystal,
Who's hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you've met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don't know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Crystal, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn't know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won't be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Crystal!
