Description
Coloring Book and Pencil Set-
Resilient- a word that evokes strength. According to Merriam-Webster, there are two viable definitions: 1) “the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness, and 2) “the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.” While I greatly respect this longstanding dictionary, I contend that there may be two different messages being communicated. The first sets the stage for strength in the face of challenge. The second, while noting the reference to elasticity, includes a word that may be a bit problematic in the overall definition¿” back”. When recovering from difficulties, do we really want to revert to the same shape, or is the goal to expand past what we knew, to settle into an evolved understanding?
This coloring book is not a guide, as everyone has their own life’s journey to follow, with their own compass. This coloring book instead offers an opportunity to “slow down, in order to speed up”. Each letter page shares a word and a snippet or two aligning to personal and professional resilience. Each page contains space to think through what these words mean to you, respond to questions related to the terms, and yes…to color. This coloring book allows time to do something that can potentially slow you down just long enough to clear your mind and allow you to identify other approaches that could otherwise not be accessed.
So…Welcome to the ABCs. An opportunity to regroup, refresh, and bounce forward. An opportunity to color yourself…RESILIENT.
