Chel Bell Guild

Living proof that good things come to those who are late.

I’m Chel. As a storyteller, writer, consultant and web series creator, I want to help you see the big possibilities for your own life. I consider resiliency to be one of my strongest attributes, and admire it in the people I surround myself with. I can find the comedy, or at the very least the lesson, in every situation. It’s never too late. In fact, it’s better late.

Storytelling: Welcome to Walgreens

Storytelling: Welcome to Walgreens

My very first official job was working at Walgreens. I was 17 when I started and spent hours shopping in the cosmetics section while waiting for my latest roll of film to be developed anyway, so it seemed like a no-brainer. I worked there for the next four years, off and on as I went away to college and returned,… Read More

Dear Mama, Thank You

Dear Mama, Thank You

Dear Mama, Thanks for always showing me that life did not necessarily have to be rooted in reality, that reality is subjective and is what we make it (for better or worse). Thank you for making song, dance, laughter, creativity, and storytelling a regular part of my upbringing, even when I was less than enthused by your antics. I’m grateful… Read More

Not Everyone Will Like You & That’s OK

Not Everyone Will Like You & That’s OK

I used to share opinions online in a very unfiltered way. Honesty has always been incredibly important to me, otherwise, we’re just wasting precious time. In my effort to tell it like it was, I came off as self-righteous and naïve. I realized I had to get better at expressing myself in a way that would invite a broader audience… Read More

What Salt Lamps Can & Can’t Do

What Salt Lamps Can & Can’t Do

I’m a spiritual, manifesting, tree-hugging hippie, but I’m also a rational person that values evidence. While I do believe in some things that can’t be proven conclusively by science, the majority of the choices I make are backed by results-driven data (if only by a very real placebo effect). Salt lamps have become mainstream in the past few years, with… Read More

Storytelling: Larger Than Life After Death

Storytelling: Larger Than Life After Death

I was in the third grade when my grandfather died of brain cancer. I was a neon-scrunchie-wearing, freckle-faced kid who’d obliviously asked him what he thought of the Lisa Frank Valentines I was creating for my classmates only a week before his passing. He couldn’t answer, of course, his eyes yellowed and his body still, lying in the hospital bed… Read More

5 Hottest Upscale Date Nights in Detroit

5 Hottest Upscale Date Nights in Detroit

Often when people think of Detroit, the first thing that comes to mind is a city in ruins, but we’ve found more than a few hidden gems since moving here in 2016. While the Motor City has a long way to go still, there’s an undeniable renaissance happening. Growing up, I thought for sure I’d be living an uber glamorous… Read More

About Me

It all started when I was 20 days late out of the womb. I've been late in getting nearly every memo since then, but I've learned a hell of a lot along the way. The older I get, the better life gets (and if it hasn't been your experience already, it can be).

As a storyteller, writer, consultant and web series creator, I want to help you see the big possibilities for your own life. I consider resiliency to be one of my strongest attributes, and admire it in the people I surround myself with. I can find the comedy, or at the very least the lesson, in every situation. It's never too late. In fact, it's better late. Read More…
