It Is What It Is Marie-Claire Donnelly

2020 was the year nobody expected. As the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe, the UK, like most countries, was put into lockdown. This went on for months, with people unable to go to work or socialise outside of their immediate family. Everyone was encouraged to 'stay home and stay safe.'




Rather than despair over the restrictions and drastic changes to day-to-day life, Marie-Claire Donnelly chose to view lockdown as a learning experience, to go deep within and find the silver lining in such an unexpected situation. The result of that experience is this delightful book full of both laughter and vulnerability, as well as journal prompts, affirmations, and heaps of love.




With her unbreakable spirit and wicked sense of humour, MC shares not only her wisdom but also her loving heart as she walks us through her days of home schooling, learning to livestream on social media, mishaps with children and pets, and the importance of faith, self-acceptance, and ultimately, self-love.




I am so grateful to myself for taking this time during lockdown to call out my old beliefs and stories and working on installing new, better-serving beliefs. I feel lighter, more positive and freer than I have ever done in my life. I look forward to inspiring others to do the same through sharing these lessons because every single person on this planet deserves to live an incredible life. - MC xxx
