What led them to stop using coloring books...
Modern coloring pages look vastly different today, yet they remain just as popular. Many visitors to my website compliment its vibrant look, likening it to a coloring book. I agree completely—it is my coloring book.
While it is full of color, it also tells a narrative of life: my life, and the lives of others who want to view their existence in a new, brighter hue.
The Power of the Full Spectrum
Your coloring book might not look like mine. It could be monochromatic, and that is okay. In contrast, I prefer to use the full spectrum of crayons. This ensures my story reflects exactly what my inner child envisions.
I let her play and revel in creating the life she desires. I firmly believe other "adult children" deserve that same exact chance.
"Don't stow away your crayons or magic markers—there is enchantment in them."
Your life can manifest just as vividly as it does on a coloring page. All it takes is the tools you already have. Why did you abandon your toys?
Reclaiming Your Joy
To bring back that childlike wonder, consider incorporating elements that once brought you pure joy:
Art tools: Stencils, crayons, and vivid magic markers.
Crafts: Textured fabrics, yarn, and sewing machines.
Play: Dolls, puzzles, ballet slippers, and pink tutus.
Lessons from Crown Chyld Apothecary
I see the power of play every day in the adults I work with at Crown Chyld Apothecary. Many of them face learning disabilities. Yet, one constant that helps them navigate these challenges is their continued interest in toys, arts, crafts, and puzzles.
These activities stimulate their minds and keep them youthful, which is highly commendable.

You never have to relinquish your crayons. You can continue to design the life you aspire to have. All it takes is picking up your magic markers—and using an eraser if you need to.
