  • A New Chapter: Finding Safety, Community, and Peace in My Temporary Home

    Life has a way of leading us exactly where we need to be, even when the path feels uncertain. Recently, I made the decision to move into a nice, inexpensive motel while I continue searching for a new apartment. At first, it felt like a major transition — a mix of emotions, worries, and hopes…

  • You Are Stronger Than the Pain That Tries to Break You

    There are days when the pain feels louder than your hope. Days when the weight of what you’re dealing with—emotionally, mentally, or physically—tries to take more from you than you’re willing to give. And on those days, strength doesn’t always look like big victories or bold confidence. Sometimes strength is simply choosing to keep going…

  • When Pain Changes the Whole Day: Living Through a High-Pain Neuropathy Day

    Some days start out normal… until they don’t. If you live with severe neuropathy, you already know what I mean. There are days when the pain in your legs whispers, days when it nags, and days—like today—when it screams loud enough to drown out everything else. Today was one of those high-pain days. The kind…

  • Stepping Into Your Royal Identity: What God Says About You

    So many women walk through life wearing invisible labels—unworthy, overlooked, forgotten, not enough. But the truth is, God calls you something completely different. At PrincessCrystalSays.com, one of the strongest messages you’ll see woven throughout the devotionals, writings, and blog posts is this: You are royalty because you belong to the King. Today’s blog explores that…

  • Marriage Matters Devotional: The Power of Respect

    “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” — Romans 12:10 Respect is one of the quiet pillars of every strong marriage. It doesn’t always shout.

  • Marriage Matters: Letting Go of Expectations

    Expectations can be silent enemies in a marriage. We rarely talk about them, but we often feel them — the unspoken hopes, the assumptions about how our spouse should love us, respond to us, support us, or understand us automatically. When those expectations aren’t met, disappointment grows. If not addressed, disappointment becomes resentment. But marriage…

  • Marriage Matters: The Foundation: Love That Chooses

    Scripture “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 (NIV) Devotional Message Marriage is built on more than emotion — it is strengthened by daily choices. Feelings rise and fall, life gets…

  • Marriage Matters: Love Your Partner

    “Choosing Love Daily” Scripture: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8 Love is more than a feeling—it’s a choice we make every single day. Some days, choosing love feels effortless. Your heart is full, your patience is strong, and kindness flows naturally. But on…

  • Devotional: God in the Ordinary

    Scripture: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:6 We often expect God to meet us in the dramatic—mountaintop moments, big breakthroughs, powerful services, or unmistakable miracles. But most of our lives aren’t made of dramatic moments. They’re made of the ordinary: morning routines, commutes, errands, conversations, chores,…

  • When Your Soul Starts Whispering “More”

    There comes a moment — quiet as dawn, gentle as a rustle of wings — when your soul clears its throat and dares to speak. Not in shouts. Not in ultimatums. Just a whisper that drifts through your chest and says, “There’s more for you than this.” We often pretend not to hear it. Life…

  • The Impact I Hope Princess Crystal Says Will Leave

    Books are easy to publish. Journals are easy to print. But impact? That’s harder to measure. And yet, it’s the only reason I keep creating.

  • Why Princess Crystal Says? The Story Behind the Name

  • Why Every Story Matters

    Stories are more than entertainment. They’re how we make sense of the world, how we connect with each other, and how we carry lessons forward. And yet, so many people tell me, “My story isn’t important enough.” The truth? Every story matters. 🌸 Stories as Healing When we write our stories—whether in a journal, a…

  • The Dragon at the Desk: Courage in Creative Writing

    Every writer knows the dragon at the desk. It’s not made of scales and fire, but of doubts and whispers: You’re not good enough. Your words don’t matter. Who are you to write? The dragon sits quietly at first. Then it leans closer when the page stays blank too long. It breathes smoke when we…

  • Thank You for Being Here

  • Small Daily Practices That Build Mental Strength

    When we think about strength, we often picture big victories—climbing mountains, winning battles, or overcoming enormous obstacles.

  • Pet Owner’s Grief Workbook: Healing After Loss

    Grief takes on many forms, but the loss of a beloved pet carries a unique weight. Pets aren’t just animals — they are companions, confidants, and family members who love us unconditionally.

  • Writing Through the Darkness: The Power of a Depression Journal

    Depression has a way of stealing language. It can leave you staring at the ceiling, unsure of how to describe the weight pressing down on your chest.

    There was a time when addiction felt like my only companion. It promised escape, numbed the pain, and gave me something to lean on when I didn’t know how to stand. But in truth, it was stealing everything I loved—piece by piece, day by day. I used to believe I couldn’t live without it. That…
