This anthology is meant to be a life journey, as a gift from many stories shared with me over my lifetime. As a social worker and a therapist, keeping clients'' confidentiality is an important value. I would work out the expression of feelings from clients, by weaving wall hangings to reflect their journey. The hangings were circulated in my office at the hospital.

After retirement, I wanted to take pictures of the hangings and stumbled upon an app called Photo Booth. I began working with abstract visuals and quotes gathered from people who have suffered, surrendered, faced their ''shadow'' and learned from it. They are lovely and hang all over my house. I had them self-published in a book entitled Life as Art. It was very expensive to print.

The Mulberry Press is a black and white printing company who were interested in the content of the book. I agreed to have them print it in black and white as a coloring book, and here we are.

Enjoy the interactive component and I look forward to any feedback you wish to share.
