!big week ahead!
plus a fictional short story
Happy Monday to YOU! It’s a big week ending with a 2-day speaking engagement at the South Jersey Women’s Health and Wellness Expo, where I will be speaking about SELF LOVVVVVVEEEEE… the honeypot of the soul type of self-love I’ve been studying and writing about. AND my new book: ME Shaped Love - a “Write Your Own Self-Love Story” workbook and journal.
PREORDERS COMING THIS WEEKEND!
If you have been fanning the flames of this journey with my 3rd book/the writing journey/or if you have been kickin’ it with me online since Skinny Jeans Dreams days - now is the time I need you to lean in.
Full transparency: I feel a LOT of anxiety... but like in a good way. The fruit is sweet because the roots are deep. The journey with my “self” has been a quest to the depths....and the heights. And finding in between, that I am sent here to be a storyteller. It is freeing to not have the pressure of needing it to be a memoir. But still brings a lot of intense energy ... a lot of self-coaching, writing, prayer, manifesting, inner child nurturing. It’s scary to put yourself out there even when you’ve been doing it for a long time. In the same breath - I know I have been preparing myself for this particular season for a long long time unknowingly. Only retrospect can show you certain things.
I know a few of you have kept me close to the heart and lifted in prayer.. and it means more than you know. Now would be a good time to throw one to your version of God for me. The God that lives in your heart... whatever that means to you.
All THAT said....... I need to lock in on myself this week. I need to make sure that the person who:
1: steps on the expo stage next weekend and
2: releases another book - is the most authentic version of Krystle J Bailey I can be.
The pressure to create content & check notifications leaks that.
So, here’s the 2nd ask:
Now is the time to read my past blogs (there is lots to choose from), share, comment, engage with me here and on social media, interact with what speaks to you, share my profile with a friend, order a copy of one of my first books, or just simply send me a message letting me know you’re with me.
This all helps me to:
1: continue to refine my message based on your reaction to the things I write &
2: fans the algorithm so I stay “relevant” while I take my time to prepare my heart and mind.
……… trust me, I know. It’s an annoying machine.
As a bonus: there are several ways you can support me financially as I take this next quest. I know times are tough & im asking you to bet on a dream so a simple “like” goes a long way! But, if you understand that dreams aren’t free, you can check out my blog or my linktree for ways to show me a little extra love.
I LOVE YALL. I am thankful for this journey and every single person it has introduced me to along the way. Xoxox
Photo from the thick of my internal wilderness when I was figuring out some BIG shit out on the inside. I was scared but being brave and surrounding myself with people who felt like freedom, including my friend Tina, who threw a beach rave this night. I fell asleep face down in the sand after a long day of party and adventure. I was surrounded by friends who felt safe & I was exploring new parts of myself that they held cool space for.
It’s been a long road since then & even longer since I began writing for the world. To be honest, I am proud AF to be standing 10 toes down on my own path at this point...and i know many of you feel the same way about your own paths. I am so ready to connect with you in this season of life in a whole new way.
