Awhile back I came out of the broom closet about my new found witch title. I’ve had a few friends and family look at me with wide eyes and wonderment, but the thing is – I am still me, just with a slightly different spiritual journey. One where I am connected to nature, Mother Earth,…

How To Get Into The Head Of A Character
I’m getting ready to start the 3rd round of revisions on this current WIP and with that comes some new characters (and revisiting old characters) and getting to do something I absolutely love – using my acting skills! If you didn’t know, I have a BFA in Theatre Performance, and although I no longer do…
Look At This Stuff? Isn’t It Neat? NO! It’s a mess, Ariel, a really big mess!
Have you ever had a Really Big Goal on your list of To-Do’s that keeps alluding you? A few weeks ago, I shared my Q1 Goals and way down on the list was: Beautifying The Apartment. The thing is…it’s really so much bigger than just making the apartment look nice. So. Much. Bigger. We…
A Few Of My Favorite Things…When I Write
It is now firmly into 2020, almost the middle of January and you know what that means? It’s time to get some writing done! As I gear up to start revisions again I thought you might like to see a list of the things I need to start writing. ☕️ Coffee – mmmm, coffee 📕…
Up In The Gym, Working On My Fitness
Exercise. It can seem like a dirty word, right? Like a curse. I’ve never been that big on exercise. For example, in gym class as a kid, I would purposely get hit with the dodgeball so I could sit down. I was tall, uncoordinated, and fat. Starting in 2nd grade I was almost always the…
I Like Big Goals And I Can Not Lie
As you may (or may not know) I love setting 90-day goals – I started this in the fall of last year and it really did help me be more productive…until I wasn’t. That’s when I realized that I like having my goals mapped out for the quarter but only the first 3-4 tasks written…
My 2020 Vision – What’s Yours?
Over the past few years, I have chosen 1-3 words to guide me along the path I want to take. Last year was Joy – which to be honest, felt a bit flat – like I was playing a part, superficial…never fully integrating into my body and my heart. The year before it was Courage…
Change Is Inevitable
It’s been a while since I’ve written, I know. This is for a few reasons — 1) I thought I might have overloaded you guys when I was re-launching The Art of Lying and 2) I needed a little break from writing myself. But…I’ve taken a little break, watched Gilmore Girls again on Netflix…
Success Does NOT Happen Overnight
I love autumn..sweater weather, pumpkin spice coffee drinks, new TV shows to start watching, and the changing colors of the trees. Staring out our bedroom window, I have a great view of this one giant tree as it changes from green to various hues of fall. I noticed something yesterday though for the first time…
Act As If
I had the immense pleasure of being interviewed yesterday by my friend, Brenda Vander Zaden, for her Postpartum Body Series project. I had the best time talking about how much stronger I feel within my body after giving birth to my son – you can watch the Facebook Live HERE if you’d like! The other…
