You have no idea how much you inspire me. I have fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. I am in the bed a lot but you encourage me to get up. GOD is so good to lead us when we ask. Love your story. Have a blessed week.😊

Wow.. my 10 year old grandson was killed in a motorcycle racing accident in 2007.. all creativity left..depression started.. and eventually I found Zentangle as well! It helped lead me out of that pit of darkness.. and helped me find the new me and my creative side again. So glad you found your way as well!

Thank you so much for letting me know your secret. I too have chronic illness and I have a partner that is incredible. I have been blessed for most of my life with a real love of the arts. I was able to go to art schools and I always found a way back too my art. After two stroke's I am still trying to find any part of my history. I am now 77 years old and I have found you and your husband. Working to put a coloring system that will work for me has been very hard. It really helps that my wife likes my effort. I love you and your husband and Rose. I try to watch all you have to offer. My Prisma colors are are now over 50 years old and Mary got me some new ones. She two thinks that you three are top notch. Thank you again and Bless your family. Bob JMJ

Wow, such an inspiring video! So many of us have felt the draw to coloring. I worked in the ER and due to a tragic situation I now have PTSD. Coloring became my therapy. It took years to get to the norm I feel now and to say watching your videos helped, is an understatement. So happy your shared your experience with all of us.

You and your husband have such a glow about you. And your story is amazing! My 24 year old daughter has fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and social anxiety. She is a beautiful artist. But the depression has her stuck in a bad place. I told her about your story. I am praying that God will help her in some way. As you are praying people, would you please pray for her. Kaitlyn is her name. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for being a shiny light in the fog of depression. The coloring community has helped me with my depression and panick attacks more than any Dr or medication. The joy I get when I see a page come to life is so amazing. I work in a funeral home being surrounded by grief and sadness all day and coming home and coloring pulls me out of that darkness. I depend on the videos and colorist to make me smile and teach me new techniques. I hate that you are so sick but what a beautiful gift from God this channel has been. God bless you both.

I’m so glad you finally decided to share your story. You and I have talked about it in the past. I think I’ve been with you since the beginning. I have a very similar situation to you and one day hope to shine like you do. I went to art school, two degrees and just a few years later my life was stolen. I’m working to get it back. I’m 57, I still have time! Married 29 years, dated 8. He stayed too! God bless

I finally took the time to watch this video and I'm so glad I did. I have no special need or problem or disease. I'm just a 73 old recent retire looking for direction in my life. Like so many others, I've watched your videos to learn - the better choice for tools, the easiest and probably best way to approach this new-found hobby, and, yes, the camaraderie of others. It's not so drastic as "saving my life" as it is fulfilling it. I appreciate everything you and Steve do and I hope to be able to watch your videos for many years to come. Thank you for all you two do.

You are an amazing lady and you have an amazing husband. I found your channel just a few weeks ago, and it is on of my go to's now. Thank you for all your two do to bring joy to the rest of us. I am so glad you guys have shared all of this with us.... WE are the lucky ones :)

Jennifer you are so loved. I cannot tell you what an honor it was to meet you, be with you, and call you my dear beloved friend. A sister of my heart.

Omgosh this is my favorite video you’ve made. Thank you. ❤ Your story brought tears to my eyes and I love that The Creator has taken your illness and turned it around to blossom into this wonderful thing. I just want to let you know my little piece…Monday night I got the call from my sister that my mother had a cardiac event and at 88 chose not to have any life saving procedures. I live 2 hours away and needed to get there so I grabbed a pair of pajamas and clean underwear and my Prismacolors along with the new Prismacolor Bliss guide that I had downloaded and printed off. As I sat with my mom on Tuesday at the assisted living home I colored in the swatch charts and it helped so much to keep my hands busy to help calm my emotions so I could be with her. After getting her pain under control we were able to have such a wonderful visit. She loved seeing the colors as I blended and we talked about how she was ready and not afraid to die. She passed the next morning. I am eternally grateful for that last day I had with her. And the PC Bliss guide was the perfect thing because I didn’t have to think at all. I just found the color listed and listened to the colored pencil scratching on the paper during the times she was too uncomfortable or out of breath to talk. It calmed and comforted me which allowed me to be calm and comforting to her. Even now as I’m sitting in my motel room I have my Prismas and guide to help ground me in between the meetings with the funeral home, and all the other things necessary before her funeral on Saturday. So you’re 100% right that you’re business is truly making a difference in lives. I’m grateful I found your website a few months ago and I can’t thank you enough for doing what you do.

I'm so inspired by your story. I was diagnosed with PPMS in 2020. I went from enjoying a hobby farm and training horses to a wheel chair in under a year. Thank you for opening my eyes to cherishing the many other blessings I have.

Had open heart surgery and coloring helped my recovery. I was in bed watching your videos and coloring. Love your videos and coloring with you and Steve.

Jennifer I didn't get a chance to watch you video live but I am so grateful that you and Steve told your story. I have end stage Emphysema. I am on hospice and my husband is my care taker. I did start coloring before I got this sick but it is the coloring that is getting me through everything. Day after day it is my coloring that keeps me going. Just like you God led me to my coloring and I am so blessed and honored to be able to share my colorings with Coloring Bliss. I just want to thank you for all that you and Steve do and all that you have taught me. God bless you both.

The smell of crayons does take me back to my childhood, really good times and good memories. It does help with the pain.

Wow! What a beautiful story! I am a certified zentangle teacher and a fan of your channel! Art is, indeed, a blessing for so many...I too have struggled with life issues and when I see your smiling faces and joy of sharing it makes my day! And your little dog lifts my spirits as well seeing that liitle face! Thank you for sharing your story!

❤I'm crying just hearing about how God brought roses out of ashes in you and your husband's life! Thank you for sharing and praying and growing!

I love your videos. I am bipolar 1 and disabled I was raped 4 years ago. He is serving a 27 year sentence in the Kansas state federal penitentiary. Your videos help me through the boringness of the day. I have been watccching your videis for quite sometime.

The fact that these health issues have left you so weak as to rely on a wheelchair and your story is helping so many of us going through the same, I'm crying listening to your story, thank you for checking out so many pens for us stationery addicts, I just want to say thanks to you and Steve to help me keep trying, I have health issues, lost my mom, my home, don't know how I'm going to survive the future, but at least I have colorful pens recommended by the Stays.

I understand how you feel. I have Fibromyalgia and Multiple Sclerosis. Fatigue and depression is my biggest problem. Pain in can deal with, but the constant fatigue with depression are horrible beasts. I’ve been married for almost 27 years and we one daughter. Keep doing your thing and kudos to everything you and your family are doing ❤

What a wonderfully supportive husband Steve is 🥰

Your husband is amazing. My husband told me to leave because he couldn’t handle my medical issues despite knowing about my medical issues before we even dated. My illness was only getting worse. I have been in that dark place.

Jennifer, you and Steve have an amazing story of your lives and love for one another. I was crying like a baby, listening to your life story together. I started coloring when my brother was sick and dying. It was the only thing that would calm me down and keep my mind from bouncing off the walls during that very difficult time. Keep up the great work that you both do so well, and God bless.

I'm sure you have saved many other people as a result of your channel, just by seeing all those comments. So the chain of good keeps going and going.

I'm dealing with a brand new serious medical diagnosis of my own. Although I still feel physically great, my anxiety about the future is sometimes overwhelming. I have turned back to art to keep my mind off things. When I am uninspired artistically, I color. It keeps my mind and hands distracted. I especially enjoy your calm, pleasant demeanor. I have learned so much about colored pencils! It's becoming my new favorite medium. Thank you, Steve and Jennifer.

You and Steve are such a blessing to thousands of people... healthy, ill, and everything in between. God has used your illness to encourage others and initially to create a business that brought you and Steve to that place where God has continued to bless your business as you give of yourselves. I'm also ill with CFS and other pain issues...the depression is relentless... The art of watercolor painting has been helpful. I had other health issues that has stopped my doing any art for over a year. I keep watching tutorials of my favorites... and thankful to God for a supportive husband ❤️!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your journey! Your love is quite apparent and is what drew me here... even though I haven't used my pencils much. Have a Merry Christmas and all the joy and blessings because of Him. Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path." With love and hugs from a grateful California Gramma ❤

Such a beautiful testimony of love, faithfulness, creativity, and faith. You are truly blessed. Praise The Lord. I went through a horrific divorce as a pastors wife and calligraphy saved my sanity, then 2 years ago my husband killed himself after walking back into my life, and I nearly died from grief but embroidery came into my life, colour is a beautiful way to heal however it comes, the garden, sewing, calligraphy, colouring, creating, ... God created us to be creative, and it's amazing that that creativity often comes out of trauma.

You mirror my life. Chronic fatigue was first, then fibromyalgia, diabetes, arthritis, dermatomyositis (a muscle disease), and COPD. I was so depressed. I had a wonderful doctor that told me to get back to crafts because at least I was using the top half of me. Coloring among other crafts really turned my life around. I too have a wonderful husband, and out of my 7 kids I still have one home with me. She is high functioning autistic and she helps me a lot. I feel so blessed to find you as you have taught me you can overcome big obstacles in our life. I also have a wheelchair like yours. Helps me get out of the house and feel somewhat normal. Bless you and your family. Thank you

Wow! Jennifer. Your story really touched my heart and hit the nerve! I was diagnosed with RA when I was as young as 22 and it had spun so way out of control since then as there were no ‘good medicines’ available 20 something years ago. And with all the new medicines available now, it’s too late for me to be taking them. But I am though, through doctors advice. But way early when I was diagnosed with RA the next thing that went hand in hand was the chronic fatigue. My husband and family were thinking I was lazy to do anything when I told them I was way too tired to do anything or move due to chronic pain and the tiredness that went along with it. Since then I’ve tried my hands on so many different things to do to keep myself busy and not think about the 24/7 pain, that till today I still have. But one of the things I picked up during the pandemic was watercolor painting. Ive enjoyed it although it is very challenging. But I’ve decided not to give up. And as recently as this past few months is when I discovered you and am enjoying each and every moment of your videos. And also value your opinion on the reviews that you give on colored pencils and the process, etc. Thank you for all that you do and I do believe that when you are thinking of good things, God leads us to good people, thru different mediums and HE made me discover you, is what I feel. Please keep inspiring and you do make a lot of difference in my world! Thank you again. ❤

Thank you Jennifer and Steve for telling us your story. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story. I, too, spend hours upon hours in my recliner with fibromyalgia, RA, Osteoporosis , just to name a few of my illnesses. Your videos and tutorials have helped me cope. Seeing Steve supporting you all through this is lovely. Thank you.

This is such a great video. I have been battling Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, MS and arthritis that is what got me coloring. It started when I would be hospitalized numerous of times and I would color when I was in there. The more I have realized what I could and would be able to do coloring has help me get through all of it. My husband has been there every step of the way too. He is the one with the art background but has built my confidence up with everything I have colored. Unfortunately with the economy I still have to push myself going to work and I color at my job when it’s slow. This video is so inspirational. Thank you both!

This was such an amazing interview. You were my first colorist that i ever watched. You taught me, who had no skill but needed a escape from the anxiety I felt within myself, that you needed no unique talent or skill to be able to color. I watched and I learned and one day i looked down and thought this is good. I still don't have natural talent but with your help I have enjoyment, creativity and a outlet for the troubles i have. Thank you Jennifer and Steve for all you do.

What a wonderful story! Made me sob and gave me hope. I share your illness...plus somehow I've gotten old! 😅 keep on keeping on. We love you...especially Rose!

I was a computer tech, but also an artist, like you CFS and Fibro removed life from me. I would like to thank you for this and your channel. I still struggle but coloring does help me so much, even if I don't draw anymore, I find coloring as a way to relieve this stress, forget the pain, and a way back to reality where life was enjoyable. 😊

We love you, Jennifer & Steve! Thank you for all you both do every day! Love and blessings to you both! -Chey

I just wanted to tell you what a blessing you are! You are a brave woman who did not allow sickness to break you and stop your future. I believe God is always at work in our lives to help us overcome In difficult situations. You have inspired me. You and your husband are a wonderful couple who bring a smile to my face every time i watch your videos. Continue to look to God and He will strength you. ❤

Coloring has helped save my sanity. I lost my oldest son to sudden passing. To make it worse no one can tell me why. My heart is forever broke. I started coloring about 2 years later. My youngest son nudged me in the coloring direction. As a matter of fact I have learned a lot from this channel. Of course my body started failing me. Fibromyalgia, stenosis in my neck and spine, horrible horrible depression, etc plaques my grieving body. You never get over losing your child, but God has carried me since day 1. I would not be here if not for him. I have one set of footprints in my sand. They are of our father as he carries me from one day to the next. How blessed we are to have so much love, especially when we can't help ourselves. I share coloring with other grieving mothers. Thank you for all you and others do to give us a way to move forward.

Coming back to art and coloring pulled me out of a loop of chronic pain and postpartum depression, and your channel and tutorials were such a big part of that. I still have and use the beautiful coloring book I bought from you years ago and the illustrations I colored during that time mean so much to me. I and so many others are so glad you and Steve and Rose are here.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Jennifer and Steve! I, too, found coloring as an art form even I could participate in. At first, I worried too much about how well I did it, but now I enjoy the process! You both are such an inspiration to so many in this coloring community!!! ❤

This was so inspiring! Thank you for having the courage to be so open and honest with all of us!

Jennifer thank you so much for your story, I have M.E./CFS for 30+ years and yes art and crochet, knitting are a big part of my life as a daily focus, but life is still a battle, so totally understand. You are amazing so proud of your achievements. God bless and I love your videos 😊🎉❤xx

I don't know how you got through this without tearing up because I sure didn't. I've always felt such a lot of heart coming through the two of you. Thank you for making this so we can all learn the backstory of this amazing channel and get to know you a little better. Keep on keeping on 😉😊😘 Much love to you 💖

There is only ONE word for y'all... PRECIOUS. Thanks for being you.

I have ms and your channel has helped me so much !! God works in amazing way!!!! God bless you and everyone who reads this.

Yes, coloring takes my mind away from my fibromyalgia, spinal arthritis, and degenerative disc disease. I have also started drawing and doing zen doodling. All of it also helps with the depression caused by my health conditions. I was never suicidal but I think that is because my brother died from an overdose. He was drinking with his epilepsy medication and it killed him. I was 15 when he died, it devastated me, my older brother was my hero. So that has always kept me from wanting to kill my self, I saw the pain of all my family and I knew I couldn’t cause my family that kind of pain.

Oh my, you sound like with my autoimmune issues. Systemic Sclerosis, Sjogren’s, Fibromyalgia, Auto dysnomia, along with the other conditions that crop up with these things. My life has been stollen from me. I started watching you around covid and joined your website last year. I’m down here in Saint George. Ty for helping me stay sane.

Such a wonderful, faith-based story of survival and success. Many continued blessings to you and your family.

Just found you a couple of weeks ago. I have had fibromyalgia for 30+ years, as well as many other diagnoses, and recently POTS was added to my long list. I first started with Zentangle because I am not an artist and don’t know how to draw. I had colored with my children and grandchildren so finding adult coloring is great for me. Thank you! ❤❤❤

Jennifer, you and Steve, inspired me. I began coloring, in 2019, when I lost my dear husband, of 53 years. I’ve been an artist all my life. But, I’d never really used colored pencils. Colored Pencils have been therapeutic for me! Love you guys and your amazing stories, videos and products. My God bless you and Steve. ❤️🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹❤️

You are truly an inspiration for all of us colorist. Thank you, many blessings

God has used beautiful colors and art to bring healing and soothing peace to me too. ❤

THANK YOU--THANK YOU! For the first time since I lost my identical twin, Alice a year ago, I have discovered something to help divert my grief, We were together for 76 years until last May, when she--so suddenly--died from Sepsis. One evening we were together in her apartment, making each other laugh, as we always did---and three day later, in spite of getting her to a hospital early the next morning, she passed away. I have never known grief like this--I have missed her every minute of every day. And although I have wonderful friends and family, it wasn't until, I accidentally came across your KZfaq channel--and the whole concept of 'adult coloring--that I found a way of easing this sorrow. I knew I needed to find something that I could 'immerse' myself in, but all the things I'd enjoyed--I had done them with Alice. And the reminder was too great. Funnily enough, Alice was a very good amateur artist--and I know she would have just LOVED 'coloring'--and your very special KZfaq channel! The year before she died, we had even discussed how much fun we had had coloring as children--and had thought 'what a shame we leave it behind, in adulthood'!! So, I know that Alice would have been such an enthusiastic 'Academy' member and watched all your programs and bought the same Prisma Premier colored pencils that I have! And all your booklets and workshops, etc. As I sat using my Alcohol Markers for the first time the other day--I know that Alice would have been sitting next to me, eagerly trying them out, too! We have both always loved learning by reading and the kind of guidance that you offer. Even with our beloved sport--skiing--we loved to read and imitate what we learned from good ski instruction books! A sort of 'cerebral' approach to our favorite activities! I am now enjoying reading everything you write about coloring! And I know that Alice would have, too. (If you ever draw a 'skiing' illustration, I will be the first to download the page into my printer!!) And, please thank Steve for his excellent video on how to navigate your Channel--I admit to being totally lost at first. LOL! It was like being in a candy shop---but not knowing how to get to the candy!!! Thank you so much for sharing the story of your own health and the difficulties of getting past it. Both Alice and I suffered from Clinical Depression, too, for most of our lives--and had to take medication to keep it from taking over. It is such an awful disease. And, I have read a little about what you suffer from--and how devastating it can be. I am currently struggling with bad swollen legs and breathlessness--what two Urologists think is the kidneys not working up to par. It's kept me from walking more than a few blocks at a time (I live in Manhattan, which I love--and have always loved walking all about)--and that has not helped my depression. What DOES help is my dear Georgy---my 9 year old Lhasa Apso--such a sweet little girl, who seems to know when I am having a particularly tough time. And, luckily, she has never been a proponent of 'exercise'--so she is happy to just curl up near-by me! I am now about to watch your Alcohol Marker video......and, again, I thank you for absolutely everything you and Steve--and Rose (!)--have been doing to help me through my grief---missing my twin so very much. You can't imagine how much you--with your Channel are helping me.....and I wish you all peace and happiness. With so much love, Lynn (and Georgy) in Manhattan xxx

I've been a fan of Coloring Bliss for such a long time and hearing your story further adds to why I enjoy watching and being a part of your community. This video was so moving and emotional for me because I, too, have a chronic illness and it's through groups like yours that has helped me to deal with my depression that comes along with it. I'd be completely lost without coloring. Luckily for me, I also am still able to crochet, so I use that as an outlet as well. I will continue to press forward, like yourself, to go on another day. I'm so proud of you, Jennifer! Keep on being an inspiration to the world. P.S. The paper you sell is amazing. It helps bring my pages to life. As well as your coloring books. I've ordered many and I'm a Bliss member. Thank you both! God Bless You!

What an emotionally touching story, that so many of us can appreciate personally. Thank you, Jennifer and Steve, for sharing your history, and providing inspiration to so many viewers. Your sincerity makes for the best kind of channel, whether you have make-up on, or nails on, or not. I really appreciate the wholesomeness you share with your viewers.

Thank you for sharing your story. Very sweet! It’s nice to get the back story on how Coloring Bliss came about.

I can so relate! I was diagnosed years ago and it has been progressive for me. I had been very physically active and I lost all of that. The depression was unbelievable. Art is so important to me! I have also studied languages and that is so enriching as well! So glad you found joy in your art and business!

I do paper art, but my hours long happy place is coloring my creations. I am enjoying your videos, thank you so very much!

I can totally relate. I too have chronic illness.

I have been watching and enjoying your videos for years. I don't have any chronic pain but I found this video to be very inspiring. Thank you so much for telling your story it was very touching.

What a beautiful story! I loved the photos you shared…you were both very good looking people, and so obviously in love. I have to say that I’ve been following you for many years and almost all of my coloring skills I learned from you. So not only did God lead you to the right path, he led you to people like me, who desperately needed an outlet. So many of us suffer from physical and mental disabilities and our lives become very dark as you said yours did. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you have done and that you will continue to do. The first tutorials that you made were all about gel pens, and I was flabbergasted because I had no idea all the things you could do with gel pens. So your tutorials just fascinated me. So I want to thank you for all that you have taught me, and for saving my life. I love both you and Steve very much. ❤️❤️❤️ I have stopped coloring the past two years because I had a tragedy in my family. My son committed suicide two years ago, and this past September I had a major heart attack and almost died. Pacemaker is saving my life. I came across your video today,and now I feel motivated to pick up my pencils again. Thank you so much.

Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your story. Chronic pain(cervical and lumbar damage along with other issues) randomly brought me to your channel about 6 months ago. I started coloring shortly after hearing you say you used it to manage chronic pain so I gave it a try. Unfortunately I discovered I had another issue and that is FSS(Full Set Syndrome) :) I am amazed with your positive attitude and perseverance. Its amazing what you(and Steve) created. Very happy for the both of you. Steve! Good on you for persevering through those very difficult times! My favorite coloring smell is cracking open a new tin of Faber Castell polychromos. :)

You two are a beautiful souls, I love watching your videos because the way you speak is so joyful, that is contagious. In the interactions you have with your husband we can see that you belong to each other. You deserve all the success for your hard work and dedication. Is great that you two are sharing your talents with all of us.

What I want to know is... what kind of reward did your son get for having to go to the bathroom at B&N that put you at the right place and time at an art aisle with Zentangles that helped get all of this started? 🤣😄 Please tell your son a lot of us are thankful for HIM as well as for you and Steve. 🙂 And thanks so much to you both for sharing your story. While I don't have illnesses, my roommate has severe depression and some of the other conditions that go along with that, so it makes me happy to see so many people with challenges find help and comfort in what you and Steve do. I watch because you're so talented, you make me smile, and you offer all kinds of info and inspiration for the total novice colorist like me! And sometimes your videos create an ASMR-like feeling when watching, so I have fun, get inspiration, get instruction AND get tingles! Woo hoo! (Please consider starting a separate coloring (and unboxing!) video playlist designed for folks who enjoy ASMR. It could widen your audience while still showing off your talents and fabulous instructional skills, and help promote coloring even more, especially as many folks who listen to ASMR have similar challenges to your current audience. It'd be a perfect fit!) You and Steve are wonderful people, and you deserve all of the happiness and kindness that can come your way. Thank you both for doing what you do. And CONGRATS on so many years of marriage, with many more to come. 😻💖

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I suffer from similar illnesses. I first discovered coloring when my husband was in hospital for four months (he’s recovering still but much better now) in 2021. I’ve recently gotten back into it and your channel is my fave! ❤

This was so interesting. I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2007. I was bedbound for 2 years before I was lucky enough to get onto a recovery program. It was a long journey to recovery but now I'm 100% better (if not 100% well!). I wish you a blissful journey!

Thank you for sharing your story. I found you looking for a marker review. So happy you found a way to ease your pain. It's feeling like a kid again, that innocence of a child. Many blessings and continued success. I will have to attempt my first.

I love that you put this out here! It is such an inspiring story! ❤ I turned to coloring when my daughter's mental health took a huge nose dive with cutting and suicide attempts. We ended up having to turn her over to the state so she could be placed in a home for young people having similar struggles. I felt so worthless and like I had failed as a mom. I colored for hours at night because I couldn't sleep, often while crying... I found it very therapeutic. I also struggle with chronic pain. I have had arthritis since I was a teenager. I also have a fibromyagia type issue and a very lousy back with pinched nerves that cause issues in my extremities. I have also ruptured a disk and had to have surgery. This increased my neuropathy in my feet, it now goes halfway up my calf. Only people with chronic pain understand chronic pain... Doctors often have this attitude that it is all in your head... It is a frustrating and very isolating feeling. Take care of yourself and your family! 🤗 Rose is adorable!! 🐩🥰🩷

What a beautiful story and video. You two are so darn cute and genuine. It really comes through. Thank you so much for sharing with the coloring community. I am very happy with my coloring bliss purchases.💗💗💖💖

Even though we never met, we have emailed and shared in the comments… 17:23 Tears are streaming down my face… Jennifer and Steve, (and your crew behind the scenes) I want y’all to know, what a tremendous blessing you have been to many of us in your community. You both have held out your hand, to help us up, and welcomed us without any judgements, just friendship, love, and respect. I will be praying for a cure or an answer for your illness. Thank you so much for sharing this private, intimate experience. It gives us hope for the future. Take care of yourselves and I will be praying for y’all. from Ohio🇺🇸❤❤

You both are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing some of your story, it made my heart smile and gave me hope and inspiration. I have illnesses that aren’t outwardly noticeable, and i keep them mostly to myself, but seeing you be brave and share your story has me feeling hopeful. Bless you both! 💜

So personal. Thank you for sharing. I had no neighbors where I used to live. Watching you gave me someone to "talk" to. I too have health problems. It took my mind off of them when I color. What ever makes me happy my husband is behind me 100%. You do a great job.

I adore you and Steve and thank you for all that you've both done for all of us in the colouring community.

Game changer!!!! ❤

Wow what an inspiring story! I had no idea you went through so many struggles with your health. I’m just so sorry that you’ve has to deal with these trials. You are a inspiration to so many. And I’m so happy you found your bliss! Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials and inspiration. You and Steve are amazing kind hearted people ❤️

Thank you for a beautiful inspiring video. We can not survive without hope. God bless you, Steve, Rose and the rest of your family.❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽👍

Thank you both for being brave enough to share your story! Our heavenly Father works in such amazing and mysterious ways! He is certainly working through you both! I pray that He will bless you both ever so abundantly for following the path He has laid before you! You touch so many lives and are such a joy to learn from. May He bless and keep you!💜🙏 💜

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is truly special. Your channel is the first I watched when I started coloring back in 2018. Now I watch many colorists share their work. I color most every day and still am learning so much. I admire you and Steve. Your love for one another comes through loud and clear. God bless you!

What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! ❤

Bless you both ❤❤

I spent 10 years in bed. Diagnosed in 2001 with fibro I decided to go the OxyContin (and many other drugs) route to deaden the pain. It didn’t work and getting off of them (seriously) almost killed me. **My husband walked with me in support, behind me to protect, in front of me to guide**. You’re so beautiful and your transparency helps so many! Your brilliant light shines through in colors brighter than any of the instruments you use. Today I needed to hear (see) your story!

Thank you for sharing your story. I have loved art since I was young, but never felt I was able to be as good as my older brother, who has been a phenomenal artist. Working with color has been a struggle for me. The art classes in school never helped me figure it out. Even when I started working with glass, I was never truly satisfied with my work. Then I had to give it up. Almost five years later, I'm looking at a possible new venture that I hope will grow to something fulltime. Your videos give me hope that I can finally learn how to color well and create pieces I feel good about. I'm so glad I found you.

Beautiful! 💕💕
