Why did you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical conditions you deal with? 
            Coloring helps with my anxiety and depression. I enjoy coloring. It helps relieve stress. Coloring is what I do in the evening, it helps to clear my head before going to bed.

What would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?
            Go for it! It's fun and relaxing. Plus it is great to see what you have created, when you complete a page. To start find a book that appeals to you or download a page. I like using gel pens, because you can get into some of tiny areas that are more difficult with crayons or even colored pencils.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?
            Warning! This hobby can become very addicting but great fun. Enjoy!!!
