Hi, My name is Ariel.  As you can see by these pictures, since an early age I have always been drawn to both sports and to the arts.  Whether it was a basketball court allowing me to live out my fantasies of hitting game winning shots as my favorite player, Michael Jordan, or a page where I would scribble my drawings onto, they both gave me a safe space to be myself without any judgment.  And I live by the motto, "Become what you're drawn to, and you will draw the right life towards you," which is why I seek to create that same safe space now in the form of my interactions.  

 

I do this in regard to the disabilities community because many may be told of their disorders and illnesses then spend a good portion of their lives feeling defined by them, as if they are not right the way they are, which can be stressful.  So similar to that blank page or court, conversations with me are meant to alleviate that burdensome feeling that comes along with living, where one can instead explore their interests, fantasies, and dreams freely, and feel right about this wonderful gift they've been given called, "life."
