Can our devastations be opportunities for great transformation? Moments of devastation will visit everyone in life. Whether it is grief, illness, loss, or some other trauma, no one escapes. In Celine's case, one of those moments was her diagnosis with breast cancer in 2016. As you join Celine on her journey from getting this life-changing news, to surrendering and ultimately choosing a path of transformation, you are prompted to reflect on your own life and how your personal traumas have shaped you into the person you are today. You will discover that every crisis is an opportunity to evolve, and that despite the inevitable pain that comes with growth, life really is happening for you, not to you. It is always unfolding for your highest good. Packed full of practical tips and insights, this book is a reminder that you are not just a helpless victim of life. You are a powerful creator and life is actually trying to help you grow into the fullest version of you.

Celine O'Donovan is a Salthill native, from the city of Galway on the west coast of Ireland.

She enjoyed a successful, international career in marketing for over 25 years, until a diagnosis with breast cancer in 2016 changed the course of her life. It was while she was recovering that she discovered her love for writing. This led her to publish her first book - The Tapestry of Life.

“The Tapestry of Life is a book that takes you by surprise. It’s a deceptively simple story, about the lives of ordinary people. But through her characters, Celine O’Donovan gives a sharp, and insightful commentary about modern society; our treatment of mental illness, our disregard for older people, and the safety net of community. It’s a book about bravery, discovery, and most importantly, friendship. Roll on the sequel.”

RTE Broadcaster and Journalist, Sarah McInernery’s review of the book.

Her second book Gifts from the Devastation will be published in the coming months and is available to pre-order now.

I hope that my story reminds people that although pain inevitably accompanies growth, life is always trying to help us grow into the fullest version of ourselves. I believe that life is always happening for us, not to us. We are not just helpless victims of life. We really are powerful creators.

Celine is also an accredited life coach who is passionate about working with clients who want to bring about positive transformation in their lives.

Wow what a fantastic read! The honest and heart-warming story of a modern Irish woman whose busy life is interrupted and subsequently transformed by cancer diagnoses. For those of us who ask the big questions regarding the meaning of life and our true purpose in the world this is a must read. Through Celine’s words, ideas and experiences we are gently led to explore the hidden nature of the self and how to flow in harmony with higher guidance. This inspiring book gives simple practical exercises to work through and reflect on. It is a resource I will dip into again and again on my personal journey towards a deeper more meaningful life.
