Saved For A Reason : One Woman'S Journey Way Beyond Cancer

A loadstar for those in need...this book reads like a warm, encouraging letter from an old friend. Celia Ann Rooney writes from the heart. Inside, the author documents her journey through the ups and downs of life, through the frightening ordeal of facing a life-threatening illness in her later years and finally surviving to arrive at a joyful, peaceful place. She shares that journey to serve as a personal guide for women who have significant transitions to make. Packed with personal stories, words of wisdom and self-care tips, she provides guidance for finding your own path toward building your spiritual strength and thriving for the rest of your life, no matter what obstacles you may face. A cancer diagnosis presented the challenge of a lifetime to the author, a writer, lawyer and teacher in Philadelphia. She and her husband were preparing to retire from the law to go into other activities after decades of hard work as a husband and wife legal team. They had gotten into very good shape in their 60s, slimming down, walking several miles a day, eating a healthy diet, and enjoying their lives. But none of that prevented the cancer. It came as a shock to their hearts and minds. Celia Ann Rooney marshalled together all of her tools to battle the deadly disease. By nature an optimistic and hopeful person, she had remained a "tough cookie" all her life through thick and thin. When faced with this seemingly unsurmountable blow, she drew upon her faith and conviction that God's plan for her was not yet finished. Even during the most difficult times of the disease and the side effects of treatment she just kept going. She not only survived, she thrived and began taking leaps of faith in going back to school for health studies, starting a new career and business as a health coach, and devoting herself to helping other women to become resilient in the face of adversity. Through her company, Sea Star Health, she helps women find their inner strength and realize the joy that life offers. She provides health coaching to clients in person, by phone, and on the internet. www.seastarhealth.co.
