Color makes me happy,  I spend many hours coloring in my adult coloring books.  I go to another world.  When I was in boarding school, I had the most important mentor in my life, Mrs Allen.  I detested the boarding school, my only outlet was to go to my art class, and I would paint for hours. My favorite was doing large abstracts, with vibrant colors; she would guide me and say keep going you are doing a wonderful job. Or, she would give me recommendations when I was not sure of color or shape. She understood me, and color was my refuge.  Now, many years later, When I am doing my coloring I feel her presence .

People have different outlets for anxiety or stress, I am highly affected by our world events lately,  and I am sensitive but, I have wonderful friends, faith , and the love of my life, my husband, Keith .

I also listen to music while I color, when coloring, for example, I just finished a knitting theme, I love to knit so it makes me feel calm and happy!

Here is a picture of my knitting project, it was so much fun.
