Hello again, I'm busy, busy here trying to wrap up my year... AND, I'm working on some BIG, fun plans for 2026. As such, I want to get your input on best times/days for calls and classes so that I can incorporate as many people's schedules into consideration as I can. I've made SOME progress in working with my brain power this year and am able to meet a little later now and then if that is preferred. I'm popping a poll in here but I'm unsure if it will let you choose more than one. Please choose the BEST time on the poll and if you are potentially able to attend other times as well, comment below and I'll do what I can. 😜😘 I'm grateful each and every one of you, whether we see you live or just in here. THANK YOU for being here.

Good morning, everyone. I wanted to pop in with a quick reminder that tomorrow's weekly call has been moved to NOON ET so that hopefully, if you are working, you might be able to join us. 😊 The idea is to just have lunch together while chatting about the holidays, life, etc. I would love for everyone to have at least ONE THING TO CELEBRATE from this year. I know it's been a rough year for the entire world AND there is still so much goodness and I have personally seen a TON of growth in you all this year. 🎉 I'm attaching the 2025 Reflection/2026 Planning workbook. The front several pages are all reflections of this year if they help you. I'd also ask that you review those pages before we do the January planning event for 2026. Wear your holiday comfies (PJs are perfectly acceptable) and let's celebrate ourselves!!!! 📚 ART-Authors Allies RoundTable Thursday, December 18 · 12:00 – 1:30pm Time zone: America/New_York Google Meet joining info Video call link: https://meet.google.com/zuh-vhjq-udr Or dial: ‪(US) +1 302-505-1133‬ PIN: ‪620 823 914‬# More phone numbers: https://tel.meet/zuh-vhjq-udr?pin=8204249448198

I'm Carlie Yates, That One Writer Chick, professional storyteller of the indie variety. I live in Dayton, OH with my youngest son who's autistic so life is never boring. I also have a very needy, VERY spoiled pup, Eva. I have two older boys that live about 30ish minutes away. I write contemporary romance and social -issue driven drama novels. I have 11 full length novels and 1 short story in an anthology. I'm working on novel # 12 which is titled "Lucky Now" and is a standalone romantic suspense. I am an avid reader on most days, and I enjoy many genres. Music is a huge part of my life. It calms me, motivates me, helps restore me to a balanced mood. I am shy, truly, but I do try 😁 To all of our new members, welcome to our community! These humans are truly fantastic. To me it's like having a chosen family. Make yourself at home 😊

I am, once again, amazed at the accuracy of today’s cards. Like the Halloween cards, the Yule cards are more Oracle style than tarot and I think you’re going to enjoy those. If you would like me to pull cards for you from any of the decks, Let me know. I can send you the decks that I have and you can pick. I will either send it to you privately or if you want to do it on Thursday with everyone present we can. 😇 block out distractions- if you have seen any of my posts recently, I have been talking about ending the year, strong the way that YOU want to end it. “… take charge of your schedule and working environment….” Goes so well with this. 📝 I am the master of my fate and captain of my keyboard. Again, this goes so well with us being in charge of the way we do our business and books. 🎄9 of canes/swords … re-evaluate what you need to do, want to do, and what is expected…” What do these cards bring up for you? I’m loving these cards so much. The book is a solid half inch with gorgeous color illustrations and the set came in a beautiful box. Here’s my link if you need to buy yourself a gift. https://amzn.to/44pRLoa

The affirmation cards and intuitively chosen crystals are absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😍 @Rebecca Paciorek sent these with a bookmark, some stickers, and smilie face confetti 🎊 If you get a chance, you should order these from her! I am looking through the cards now, I love every one of them 💕
