My Then and Now books are too comfy as they lounge around on the top shelf at Whitcoulls South City. Obviously they'd prefer to go to lovely forever homes with comfy coffee tables 😉

Vote NOW (if you haven't already). And if you think because you rent you don't pay rates, guess what? Landlords and property managers always factor in rates and insurance costs into the rent you pay.

Our Story

I’m Deb Donnell. I’m an author, publisher, and transformative journey coach. My mission is to empower you to discover what makes your heart sing, and share your unique KESWIN™ (Knowledge, Experiences, Skills, Wisdom, Ideas and Narratives) through passion-based ventures.

I have been documenting transformative journeys through indie publishing and content marketing since 2006. In 2009 I co-founded an online community, and mentored members to build online businesses using WordPress and content marketing. Unfortunately this venture was put on hold when violent earthquakes destroyed my home city, Christchurch NZ, in 2010 and 2011.

Since then, I have published a number of books documenting Christchurch’s transformative journey. Titles include RESPONDERS: The New Zealand Volunteer Response Teams Christchurch Earthquakes Deployments (co-authored with Pete Seager), and the Christchurch Then and Now series.

In 2018, I returned my focus to creating publications and courses which will guide you on personal development and entrepreneurship journey. In 2019, I will be launching my membership site - KESWIN™ Academy, which is very much like the virtual phoenix rising from the earthquake rubble. If anything I share inspires or empowers you in some way, please like my page, or visit my personal website - https://DebDonnell.info.
