@Donna Thornton is fabulous at hype girling for me ALLL over Skool!!! I post something and if she’s in the room, she’s commenting! Usually before anybody else!! And twice now she has come into my communities and posted wonderful validation posts about me that have brought tears to my eyes. She sees me. And I want to be a hype girl for her too!! So I pin her posts. Which *FEELS* icky and weird and like I’m hype girling myself. Or maybe super sus because she & @Todd Thornton are my Skool building mentors and I’m a VIP member of their Skoolology community. But you wanna know WHY I’m a VIP member of their community? Because Donna has built me up all over Skool and held her DM door wide open when I had questions and needed calls before these doors even opened. I have completely shifted gears in the blink of an eye from what I was doing just a couple weeks ago when I signed up with them to what I am doing today with this community…. But she has caught my vision. She knows what I’ve built up to now isn’t going anywhere. It’s not even paused for the women already in Kingdom Identify Network. It’s just gone into hiding. And I’ll explain more about that soon. What I want to say right now is that we are not shying away from hyping who we live in this community NOR are we gonna shy away from sharing the wins when somebody hypes us up authentically and with no prompting or icky incentives. I never asked Donna to hype me up. She just does it cause that’s who she is AND she did it before I ever paid her a penny…. Which is what got me to pay her a pretty penny 😂 I’m sharing Skoolology in this post and adding the community to our calendar and very, very soon to the top of Wealth resources because I have experienced the immense value of being in Todd & Donna’s spaces and I’m not afraid to shout that from Skool’s rooftop out into the World Wide Web!!!

Here's a Joyce Meyer video talking about carrying the Ark of the Covenant. I watched it the day after my pastor did almost the same sermon the day before. It was obviously God showing me, I didn't look up anything, just opened YouTube that morning and this video was the very first one. I also attached the video of my church's sermon. The sermon from pastor Bobby is all about our relationship with Jesus and how we carry it. ❤️❤️❤️ https://www.youtube.com/live/uTqcx4ET-CA?is=YNuB7fovStp_6KR8 https://youtu.be/raIXDgVGPF0?is=jh9cx22NJJgqt4pk

I’ve spent more than 30 years on BOTH sides of the camera—as a professional model, actor, and photographer. Photography has been my full-time career for decades, and the reason I still love it so much is simple: photography brings people JOY. 📸❤️ The right photograph can change the way someone sees themselves. It can build confidence, boost self-esteem, and make someone excited to show up and be seen. Recently, I developed a completely different way to photograph people: LIVE Remote Headshots! 🌎📱📸 You don’t come to my studio. I come to you—through your phone! Using your smartphone, a simple tripod or phone stand, natural light, and a LIVE video call with me, I guide you through everything—lighting, angles, posing, expressions, and positioning—while I capture your professional headshots remotely. No studio. No travel. No awkward posing. I’ve now photographed people remotely across the USA and around the world, and I still get excited every single time I see someone’s reaction to their finished images. ❤️ I especially love working with entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, coaches, creators, and professionals who need fresh, confident images for their Skool profiles, websites, social media, LinkedIn, speaker kits, and personal brands. And I have to give a huge THANK YOU to Lisa. ❤️ Your support, encouragement, and belief in what I’m creating have meant so much to me. Every time I see you using the photographs we’ve created together, it makes my heart glad. I literally get chills saying that because it’s true! 🥹📸 I’m so excited to finally be part of this community, get to know all of you, and share more about the magic we can create with nothing more than a phone, some beautiful light, and a little coaching. Professional headshots from anywhere in the world. 🌎📸❤️ I’m Cristal, and I’m your Photographer in Your Pocket! 📱📸 Photography by Cristal

I needed a break today and went to the beach with my family. This week has been a bit of a whirlwind and I was blessed with a pre-planned break from most of it - took some b-roll videos and photos but that's it. So I will do my best to release the journal Monday morning - if I don't, let it go. Holy spirit is encouraging me/us to fully BE with Him. Pause from DOING something to be with Him and just let Him BE with you. You don't have to DO anything. You get to if you have the supplies and the capacity. And it's okay to rest - even from pre-planned devotions. Just have an impromptu walk and watch the birds and the bees, the sun, moon and sky. Have a blessed Sunday. I'll see you on Monday.
