PROMO: You Are A Queen

 

 

Nonfiction / Self-Improvement

Date Published: October 1, 2024

 

Celia Anzalone Bowers went from a drug addict hooked on methamphetamine and cocaine to a pageant queen, Love Waits for You podcast host, TEDx speaker, nationally ranked-triathlete, mother, committed spouse, published author, and a multi-million-dollar business entrepreneur.

After surviving a traumatic childhood accompanied with abandonment, sexual abuse, drug abuse, and physically and verbally abusive relationships, Celia overcame her trauma and all the ways she coped with it—overachieving, people-pleasing, and addictive behaviors—by transforming her pain into her power and healing herself—body, mind, and soul.

If someone would have told her twenty years ago that she would found a nonprofit that touches countless lives, continually be featured on local talk shows across Tennessee for inspiring others, write not one, but three books—much less, use her voice at all—she would have thought they had lost their mind.

She didn’t believe she could ever “come back.”

Two decades ago, Celia had no concept of what she was capable of—what anyone is capable of—because no one had shown her the way.

Trapped in her own darkness, Celia had to feel her way to the light.

Ultimately, Celia realized the healing had resided within her the entire time. She will show you so that you may see to believe for yourself—if she could turn her pain into power—anyone can.

No matter where you are in your healing journey, you will find hope and practical guidance in You Are a Queen: Transform Your Pain into Power.

Whether you are struggling with a break-up, some form of addiction, a lifetime of trauma, financial struggles, a loss of someone or something, or simply searching for a new way to live and to feel less “stuck,” this book will offer you strategies for not only some relief, but for your lasting healing.

Reflections On Living A Christian Life

 

Christian Non-fiction/ Christian Art / Poetry / Prose

Date Published: June 12, 2024 (Blurb)/ August 22, 2024 (Amazon)

 

As a new Christian, there were many things that I didn't understand about living a Christian life. Through the years, the Holy Spirit taught me wisdom and understanding which became a guide for me regarding how to live a more loving and accepting life toward myself and others.

This book is a collection of some of those truths. It is my attempt to help those who are new to the Christian faith. I hope that it will guide readers to understand God's ways with a new perspective and passion.

Walking with God is truly a mystery and an adventure-it is the journey of a lifetime! He is our greatest treasure and our very best friend. I hope to not only convey those truths through my writing, but also to warm the hearts and souls of those who read this gift book with His love and light at the same time! God bless and enjoy!
