Color My Thoughts

About the Book

Adults have finally caught on to what children have always known – coloring is fun! But, more importantly for those of us in the grown-up world, coloring has been shown to be a stress reducer and a means of stimulating thought. Likewise, reading poetry is also relaxing and thought provoking. In Color My Thoughts, you get both! Pamela and Rita hope you derive as much enjoyment, relaxation and mental inspiration from the coloring pages and poetry in this book, as they received while creating it. As you color within the shapes and lines of each drawing, may the poetic musings shower your heart with color. PAMELA’S TIP: Investing in good color pencils will result in sharper images on the paper.
