Elle’s Story

You are a walking, breathing powerhouse. You can choose to dissolve your obstacles, no matter where you are in your life.
Elle Swan is living proof.

On May 29th 2000, in an abandoned van, 3,000 miles from home, Elle Swan died all alone.

If you had been Elle between 1995 and 2000, your heart would bleed with pain every second, of everyday. The depression would almost suffocate you, and the confusion would have you banging on the walls of your mind, desperate for an escape. Her loved ones had no idea what horrible darkness her addiction had sucked her into. The gut-wrenching demise became too much for them to bare especially for her mother.

What would cause such a beautiful, talented, private college graduate to spiral into oblivion, ultimately living on the streets? How on earth would she ever return? How would you?

On that fatal morning, inside a darkness, supreme to all other days, Elle realized she had gotten her wish. She slid away from all the names, places, dates and pain. At last she was dead. Then, as her spirit peeled away from her body, she recognized she could choose.

You have a choice.

A divine force, which felt like 200 miles per hour, slammed Elle back into her lifeless body. Fragile, but enlightened, she crawled out of the van, and into the light that is now her life. A life called Vibrant Living the way your obstacles dissolve.
