How Coloring Helped Me Feel Creative Again After 60
“I thought maybe that part of me was just... over.”
After decades of painting and crafting, I stopped. First, it was joint pain. Then my eyesight made the fine details harder. And honestly? I started to believe my art days were behind me.
But I missed the feeling — the flow, the color, the quiet joy. I wasn’t looking to become a master again. I just wanted to feel like a creator.
Then I discovered the Mindful Simple Patterns Mandala Coloring Book from Medeea Publishing House.
No rules. No pressure. Just bold mandalas that didn’t make my eyes ache or my hands cramp. I use thick markers or gel pens, play soft jazz, and let myself explore — slowly, freely, joyfully.
It’s my favorite part of the day now. I finish a page, take a picture, and send it to my granddaughter. We color “together” every Thursday by phone. It brought creativity — and connection — back into my life.
