@Karin Crawford I get that ick feeling too! Every single time I see my images being used on Skool to promote someone else's community, or someone approaching me with offers to make children's books using my name, my images, and my personal story, my heart sinks. Especially when they bring my Memoir Skool into it. I love supporting others, but genuine friendships and connections mean so much more to me than being someone else's marketing opportunity. But then I realized something. This isn't Hollywood and the modeling industry I grew up in. We're in a whole new era where we put our pictures, our stories, and our work out there for the world to see. And like they say, any publicity is good publicity! 😂 I'm learning to look at things a little differently. As far as the ick feeling you're describing with affiliate links, I'm really not sure because I'm just barely learning how affiliate links work myself! It's a whole new world for me, too!
🎬 I Went Looking Through My Archives… and Found an Entire Chapter ❤️
In the past year since I joined Skool, I’ve written 39 chapters of my memoir, I Escaped Hollywood, Barely. 📖❤️ And every time I think, Cristal, surely you have enough stories now 😂… another one comes back. Something beautiful has been happening lately, too. My daughter-in-law has been spending more time with me, and she loves hearing my stories. She’ll ask me questions, and suddenly I’m telling her something I haven’t thought about in years. And then she started helping me find things. ❤️ There was one photograph from Japan that has stayed in my mind forever. I modeled for Olive magazine, and when Tokyo Disneyland opened, I did a huge feature—19 pages and the cover, which I shared with another model. And somewhere in those pages was the photograph I always remembered: Me kissing Mickey Mouse. ❤️🐭🇯🇵 I had wanted to see that photograph again for so long. And we found it. That’s what is happening while I write this memoir. A photograph comes back. Someone asks me a question. I find a piece of footage. One memory opens the door to another. And most recently, I found my original CBS Scarlett O’Hara screen test. 🎬 I watched those 1 minute and 24 seconds, and the memories started pouring back—Malibu, what I wore, how I felt, the excitement surrounding the Search for Scarlett. And suddenly my 39-chapter memoir had chapter 40: The Search for Scarlett ❤️ This is exactly why I'm not ready to edit yet. My story is still talking to me. Right now, I'm writing it RAW and unedited inside my Memoir Skool, and I'm creating visual images to accompany these memories as they return. There will be a time to polish it, organize it, and turn it into the finished book. But I'm not there yet. Right now, I'm remembering. ❤️📖 And maybe that's part of writing our stories too—sometimes the people who love us start asking questions, and they help us remember pieces of ourselves we didn't even realize were waiting to be found. Has someone you love ever asked you a question that suddenly brought back a story you hadn't thought about in years? ❤️✨

@Lisa Vanderveen Oh my goodness, this touched my heart. ❤️🙏 THIS is why I get so overwhelmed sometimes by the people God has brought into my life here. We somehow chose each other, found each other, and I truly believe God had His hand in it. I absolutely LOVE what you said about the questions you ask yourself and the Holy Spirit during your Quiet Times. ❤️ Sometimes one little question can unlock something that has been sitting inside us for decades. And PLEASE start writing in that book your daughter-in-love gave you! 😭❤️ What an incredible gift—not just for you, but someday for the people who love you and will treasure those stories. Praise God for bringing such incredible people into my life. I thank Him for it every single day. 🙏❤️ And thank YOU for sharing this with me. It means more than you know.
