Why did you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical conditions you deal with? 
            I started coloring to help relieve stress and deal with my severe anxiety and depression issues. I have dealt with these for over 20 years and have found coloring a wonderful way to center myself when I am having a panic attack or even when I need to bring myself some relief from depression.

What would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?
            Start with anything. I bought 1 inexpensive book and some Crazart pencils and went to town. I still haven't purchased expensive pencils but am trying new mediums all the time.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?

            I started a group that focuses on art therapy and it's use in aiding with stress relief, depression, mental illness and physical ailments. We share all different kinds of art and how they help. I have made a lot of new friends and am blessed to have found a way to deal with this.
