Choose Create a Great Day

Every day we have a choice.  We get a chance to Choose & Create each day by the way we feel.  My Choice is to enjoy each day & feel good inside as much as possible.   

What do you choose today?

Read more in to what this means to me below the Tee.  Either way, enjoy your Day in your Best Way.   




 

I am sitting here and looking back where I was when I created this design, I was flat broke, money was on the way but not sure when it was coming in, creditors calling with threats, lost lots of people a long the way with the things I had to walk through and shift in me.   Up until then, I thought because I didn't know how to do a business & didn't know who to trust or why I was failing at everything at that time I wasn't Enough and I was a Failure.   This was another big shift in me as up until then I really thought I had to react to all the things going on around me, especially if it was something that triggered in me.  I thought that I had to shout out and stand up, no matter what the consequences, that's the warrior Survivor mode in me.  At the point I created this I had been fighting my way through life & business, doing all the things I was learning & being told while feeling awkward and out of place most the time.  I was still trying to fix everything and me, reacting rather than responding, focusing on all the outer stuff rather than being curious on what else I could heal each time I was triggered.  Up until then I was giving up my energy & power to all the outer stuff.  I thought if others didn't understand, made fun of, ignored, rude to, were in fear or anything I didn't agree with I thought there was something wrong with me, that was the Victim in me.   

This Design was created as I began the full shift of getting vulnerable asking for help, healing me one piece at a time, each trigger is another piece of me I can find peace with, not because what happened was okay but for me to live in the present time, rather than reacting from safety trauma triggers of my past, in the knowing that we are all doing the best we can at any given time.  

 That Grace for myself and others allows me the Love frequency space to allow others the grace to be themselves and if they aren't ready to heal themselves, no worries I love you so much.  I can love from afar & I don't have to allow it in my space, with Love & Compassion.   I am way more than the trauma that brought me here, from those traumas rather than staying in Victim I shifted to Victor so I may relate to others that resonate and together we allow the Safe Space to speak it, accept it, process it and gain our own insight for ourselves.   This Design reminds me, when I am in Love with me and all the Messes, Stresses and Blesses, that's what I have control of.  In 2020 and Now this was brought to the forefront for me, family, tribe, team and community.   I am reminded of the Serenity Prayer from the 12 Steps,  My version is.

Universe, Ancestors & Angels Grant me the Peace & Calming to accept those things I can't change which are outside of me, the Valor & Courage to change the things outside & in me I can Change as Change Begins in Me and the Knowledge & Insight to know the Difference so I may Respond in Love & Grace with me and others.   

I am responsible for how I show up for me and others each and every day, no one else.  When I am responsible for my energy & frequency healing me first, I can show up with a Full cup and see others with more compassion.  It's been an inner journey of healing my child within, so I can show up today as My Authentic self no matter what others think or say or feel.  I am Me, I am not for everyone and that's okay today.  I am Real, Raw, Vulnerable full of Love and Light most the time and yet I have shadows that I work through just like most people.  I have no claim to perfection or competing (unless it's a game, then it's on) lol.  I know that I have been and at times am a Hot mess piece of work, up until now, I thought it was a bad thing.   Today I know giving myself the Grace to allow the mess while cleaning up the mess in myself first and all that surrounded me, 1 step at a time.  I can heal me, 1 piece at a time and share that with those ready to do the same for themselves too,   This is the long version of my story behind this Creation, each design and Creation I make has a piece of Love & Light Energy as I make each one with my Heart Center aligned and turned up.

  I love what I do, each and every day and when I have gratitude, forgiveness, love, grace and compassion in my life Starting in the morning and growing throughout the day for me and loved ones a long the way, Miracles happen and Dreams Do Come True.   Self Love & Self Care Matters most.  We need our Oxygen mask before we can help & serve others from our own Hardcore (Real & Raw) & Heart Centered Caretaker Soulsat least this is what I have found and live on a daily basis.  I love you and look forward to walking each other home, side by side, We Rise in to our Own Best Lives.

Cabin Time, My Happy Place Thanks Moms for Dreaming & Believing

Found this from Thursdays Newsletter...my bad it had a glitch...


Good Day to all you Beautiful souls


Today as I am writing this it’s Thursday and I am very thankful for who I am, where I am as a Human, a Personal Brand and growing expanding company.  It’s funny to me as yesterday was my 30 year anniversary of the first day of making me and my recovery priority.   The day before I had went back to my old life for help with my van & thought I was strong enough to be around my old friends who I had to leave for me to get clean and off the streets.   I was getting my van fixed to make it to my sponsors wedding & reception with recovering people.  I felt so much guilt & shame around what happened and then after I shared what happened and came clean about starting over on Day 1.  I vowed, I was more than who I was. I have to do whatever is necessary to keep that Back in the day, Back in the Day.   It’s been a long journey from then to now.



One of the biggest moments and pivot points from then til now is our Mom's Dream.  Mom wanted a log cabin in the woods and at the time, where they were, my not the momma told her...When Pigs Fly.  My mom really wanted it and held that Dream in the corner of her heart and thoughts, not knowing how it would happen, just believing it would.   That was in the 90’s, in the early 2000’s they received the property through a family friend in their price range.  They met a beautiful couple that sold Log cabins and again it just so happened to be obtainable, they broke foundation in Winter of 2005 and by the Summer of 2006.   Us, Family & Friends were putting up trim, walls, beginner decks and roof and then keeping up with the maintenance and continuing movement forward. 


There’s been many Beautiful friends and family who have helped along the Journey for that I am truly thankful and grateful.   The awesome stories of Fun, love, blood, sweat, tears, laughter, hard work, lessons and Blessings, truly Priceless...   



I am sharing this story as they started talking about the next step of their Dream of leaving the Bay and moving to the cabin Full time about 3 years ago.   When that happened I was in the next shift of creating our Dreams of our Family business and had started designing Shirts.   I designed this one for them and us as the reminder that when we hold a Dream in our Heart with Love and Grace it will be ours and Dreams Do Come True.   


Today as I write this we are in the final stages of moving them out of the Bay and on to their Dreams, a cabin in the woods, surrounded by beautiful nature, friends and a life they can enjoy together.   Creating and playing as much as they can.  I am so happy for them and love that we have been a part of their journey.  Looking forward to pictures and postcards of their many adventures to come.  Thanks for teaching us How to Dream, now it’s time for them to Live theirs. Wishing them many Blessings a long the way, taking the time for more joy in the Present and celebrating all they have been there done that,  thus far.   We Love you and Hope you Love every moment and Create many more Beautiful memories.

Shift Happens and Boi Howdy does it

Hello, Happy Friday,

My apologies for delay in Weekly Newsletter, We are shifting a lot of Shitake in our lives and others and yep I got my release days crossed.  

 This is our Most Popular Design.  



Very thankful as this was created for a Reminder for myself and tribe that when life seems to being throwing curve balls at us.   Shift happens and we have a choice on how we react and therefore receive them.  We can choose to Swing for the Bay, Punt or let it pass on by, no matter what the challenge, when Shift Happens, anything is Possible.   

Shift your Shitake @PurpleCrystal333 Where Feeling good is our top priority


 As I am sitting here writing this, so much has Shifted in my life since I created this.   My Mindset, Motivation and Movement are now in full alignment with me and my heart center.   I have always loved chatting, helping others talk & walk through Shitake and much more.  I am thankful for the journey and the lessons a long the way today..  I remember a time in my life, when things went different than plan, I could lose my Shitake in an instant and very rarely could I recover my full thoughts.  My frustration increased as I sought to do more and strive for perfection all the time, not allowing grace for mistakes and growth a long the way.  I caused myself so much pain and Dis-Ease in my energy and my life.   

That is where I was 3 years ago, longing for something more and driving my Mind, Body & Spirit down to the ground in the process.   After learning the hard way for so long, I now live this on a daily basis.   Shift Happens, we CAN choose how we react & respond to any given situation.   Today I choose to find my Woosah before I respond therefore holding my own power and finding solutions with more fun & ease. 

If you'd love a Reminder too... Shift Happens


Below you will find all the events and ways we are supporting our family, tribes and communities Now and Beyond...   BTW Did you Hear we are doing Once a month Garage Sales, 3rd Weekend of the Month for all the Families we are helping in their own journey of Shifting.   



Live, Love, Laugh...We are all doing our Best on our walk home

Live, Love, Laugh...We are all doing our Best on our walk home

This is a Wood burning gift Jazz and I created, we loved it so much, we decided to use the design in our shop.  We have it in Retro also from when I first started and hadn't learned how to edit the photos.   As I grow myself, family, team, tribe and business I have learned and gained the invaluable skills of Love and Grace for myself and loved ones.   Life is a Journey and we can choose how we show up for ourselves and the world around.   As an empath & many trauma survivor, I had difficulty, separating energies, mine from others, trauma response to the now which caused lots of Dis-Ease in my Mind, Body & Spirit and overall relationships.   After lots of Shifting of my own Shitake and continuously shifting, I have learned what's my Shitake and how to stay in my lane.  We now live a Life more and more that we love, reminding ourselves in the everyday, day to day, when we Live, Love & Laugh more often, Miracles happen.   What do you Choose to Create today, I choose a Life of Living, Loving and Laughing as much as possible.  We love that we live in a world filled with Rainbows reminding us to Live, Love and Laugh to our hearts content,   We love you, We appreciate you and We are here to Join hands and Shine like the Beautiful Beaches we are.   

We love encouraging, empowering each other while holding each other accountable with Love and Grace.   We do our best to see the Purple of life as it's a color of inclusivity, vibrancy & courage, the Crystal of life as it's transparent, crystal clear, energy filled vibes fit with our tribe vibe and the 333 for the belief, what we give out comes back 3 fold, shift happens in 3's and Angels, Ancestors & Higher Power of our choice always have our back, they love, appreciate and will guide us on this path and journey with Love, Grace and Fun when we Ask and Allow,     

Thank you so much for Reading this and taking the time for you, if you'd love to learn more we'd love see if it feels like a good fit check out our group @Purple Crystal Wellness, and if you'd love to Join our weekly newsletter, you just need to be on our Team or a Customer that already Subscribed to our Newsletter, if you haven't already then make sure you opt in for our weekly newsletter when you Click Here

Fast forward to today, I left my corporate job & long commute to live in alignment with our Family Dreams while helping others do the same.  It's been a journey of Awareness mixed with a lot of Shift our Shitake, cause that's the bottom line.
