Description

Life is complicated. Life is noisy. Life is chaotic.
Life is beautiful. Life is fun. Life is a series of moments that sometimes link to moments past and future, yet sometimes they stand alone.
Life makes me smile, sometimes while fighting back the tears; sometimes in hysterical laughter.

Just as humankind continues to evolve, so do we, the “she”-version of humankind. In my almost 50 years, I have experienced the moments that knocked me to my knees in quicksand; I have experienced the moments of unsurpassed joy. None of these moments are secret or locked away; rather, each of these moments has contributed to the woman I am today. I look forward to sharing these moments with you.

Don’t get me wrong – I am still evolving. Yet in each of these significant moments and the many moments in between, I discovered the SHE in me.
SHE who is a vessel of Strength
SHE who tries to lead a life of good physical, mental and relational Health
SHE who exudes the very Essence of an ordinary woman, sans the layers

We hope you will join us on April 27^th to meet Darlene Ellison and hear a bit about her story, her journey and her evolution as a woman in this crazy world. Darlene is an accomplished businesswoman, wife and mother of two millennials, as well as a transparent woman who shares her stories weekly in her blog, Evolution of SHE.
