book excerpt

Turning Mourning into Dancing is designed as an adult coloring book. It is written from a Christian point of view. It is a collaboration with a long-time friend, Wanda Parker Rains, who is a talented and gifted illustrator. People everywhere are discovering the wonderful benefits of coloring, such as reducing stress, managing depression, and learning to relax. The benefits of coloring are real and therapeutic. Coloring is a stress-buster. It can lower your anxiety and reduce your blood pressure. On April 14, 2017, my ninety-three-year-old mother, Josephine Penn, transitioned to be with the Lord. My seven siblings are also mourning her death. Grieving mom’s death has given me a new perspective on grief, loss, and the importance of doing the grief-work well. My siblings, as well as our children and grandchildren, would agree that our grief over mother’s death has been made easier because of the many years we had her in our lives. Mom’s death is the inspiration behind the concept and creation of this book. God knew exactly what I needed to turn my sorrow into joy. God used my love of writing to meet much of my emotional, mental, and spiritual health needs.
