Fortitude. Character. Warrior.
Some of the most important things in life are the connections we make with others. And seldom do we connect with remarkable human beings like Ellie Wilkins. Her story of perseverance, resilience and healing reminds us that, in her words:
“…there are so many gifts and lessons that come out of our hardest experiences of our lives…” ~Ellie
(Amen!)
Warrior of the Spirit.
Darkness had tried to break her.
It failed.
Aurora was gone, yes. Her inner wounds not yet healed.
And the scars. The hidden ones. Those damn scars.
But she is not a victim, and never will be. She’s a survivor.
Her soul was born a warrior.
And each day she fights. She lives. She loves. Still.
She is everything the darkness could not kill.

On Healing.
“…Healing is not always pretty. Healing is not always easy. It is brusies, agony, sweat and tears. Quiet grimaces, slow and forced exhales, just trying to get through.” ~ Ellie.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Long live Ellie. Long may she reign!
“No one will come and save you. No one will come riding on a white horse and take all your worries away. You have to save yourself, little by little, day by day. Build yourself a home. Take care of your body. Find something to work on. Something that makes you excited, something you want to learn. Get yourself some books and learn them by heart. Get to know the author, where he grew up, what books he read himself. Take yourself out for dinner. Dress up for no one but you and simply feel nice. it’s a lovely feeling, to feel pretty. You don’t need anyone to confirm it.”
