The Changemaker Coloring Notebook: Stress Relief and Inspiration for a Life Lived in the Present Moment

Do you find yourself trying to carve out time to think and reflect, to tune into yourself? Do you love the calm and focus that comes when you are deeply immersed in coloring? Or, perhaps you seek a positivity boost or a return to simpler times. If you answered yes to any of these questions, then The Changemaker Coloring Notebook is for you. Thirty original illustrations are paired with inspirational quotes from The Changemaker Ripple Effect. Lined note pages provide space for a month of journaling or jotting down thoughts and ideas that emerge while drawing. …” I love that the drawings arise from nature images. I find the combination of the quotations and the natural imagery meditative and soothing. What a wonderful combination to help settle the mind and uplift the spirit. —Amy Colvin author of: Cultivating Compassion- Simple Everyday Practices for Discovering Peace and Resilience. …”I love the concept of this coloring book. It inspires you by quotes, allows you to relieve stress by coloring and being creative, and gives you a chance to jot down thoughts, ideas, distractions and your own favorite quotes to reflect on.” —Kathleen Teipner Sandoval, Director of Operations, The Children’s Cabinet & First Lady of Nevada. …”I LOVE Sarah Boxx’s The Changemaker Coloring Notebook. It’s not often that one gets so much sage advice in one place – presented in a way that’s inspiring and loving. So many of these quotes resonated: Ralph Waldo Emerson: “You can’t do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.” Amelia Earhart: “The most effective way to do it is to do it.” John Muir: “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.” But this isn’t just a book of quotes. It’s a coloring book of magical illustrations, mostly of nature, embedded in a notebook. Space to be inspired, think and reflect. I highly recommend Sarah Boxx’s The Changemaker Coloring Notebook.” —Barrie Atkin, President, Atkin & Associates, LLC
