Think that your coloring book has to be that, just a coloring book?

If you answered yes then you definitely must listen to my interview with my guest Nefertari Guice, author of the new coloring and activity book Serve The Silent: Activity and Adult Coloring Book for the Justice Impacted and Their Families

What I love most about our conversation, and it’s something I talk about frequently with attendees of my workshops and challenges is the power of creating coloring books from your heart, books that have a deeper meaning and purpose beyond coloring

These types of books in my opinion are easier to sell 💵

So if you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about a possible topic or focus for your 1st (or next) coloring book project I know you’ll glean a ton of inspiration from our conversation!

Recently during one of our recent Color & Sip Playdates, one of the members of My Coloring Club told me the reason she decided to join was she wanted to invest dedicated time to self-care.

I so related to her share because my own personal self-care journey began soon after I discovered coloring which ultimately led to my self publishing my first coloring book!

In these increasingly challenging times, with so much being thrown at us literally moment to moment I personally feel that self-care is increasingly more critical than ever not only managing our own emotional well-being but maintaining our physical health.

And that’s why I’m so excited to invite you to join me next week for this multi-day LIVE virtual experience I’m calling

Time To Color Self Care Retreat!!

Our retreat starts on Monday, March 21st, and runs thru Thursday, March 24th on Zoom and streamed live inside our Let’s Color Together Group every day at 11 am PST / 2 PM EST
