10 Reasons You Should Be Coloring

Did you wake up one morning and say to yourself, "I think I'd like to be a caregiver cause that sounds like fun!"

Yeah, I didn't think so. Most of us became caregivers because our loved ones needed help. Not necessarily because we WANTED to, it typically was because they needed us to. If you have a different reason or situation, let me know.

Regardless of how or why, here we are, caring for another human. We're all doing the best we can in a position few feel qualified to do.

Many of us did or are still doing a pretty good job of raising our kids, but caregiving for your spouse or parent is an entirely different thing! Can I get an "Amen!"?

Could I suggest a creative outlet that's inexpensive, entertaining, and relaxing? I didn't hear a "no." 🙂

Have you tried Adult Coloring Books? They are great for you to relax and unwind and they are a wonderful busy activity for someone you may need to keep entertained. Think about the waiting rooms or long lines you sit in with your loved one.

Would that time be more enjoyable if you both colored to occupy the time?

Why should I color?

Great question! I’m glad you asked that!

Faith Lives Here and Color Me Calm are my two adult coloring books available for purchase.

I want to give you a FREE Printable coloring page from both of my books.

You can print them out and begin coloring today!
The interesting thing is if you print two copies and color it using different pallets, you can create two completely different, yet still beautiful, pieces of art!

I'm giving these to you for your private use. They are not for resale.
I hope they bring you joy! If you have any problems printing, please let me know and I'll send them another way. (Sorry! I am NOT a tech guru!)
