    12 Days of Blogmas 2021, Day 5 – Charity: Color my Heart Orange

    I am a volunteer and Board Member at Big Orange Heart (BOH), a charity whose mission is:

    to support and promote positive well-being and mental health within the remote working communities.

    Big Orange Heart (BOH)

    One of the reasons I love the WordPress community is that people from all walks of life are there to support and care for one another, BOH does a lot of that. They offer support and run events that bring the WordPress community together. So when they released a colouring book, I was so excited. If you’re like me, you find colouring books very therapeutic. It’s also an excuse for me to buy more stationery.

    Introducing Color my Heart Orange

    Color My Heart Orange (they went with the American English spelling), was designed by some of the team at BOH and volunteers within the WordPress community. Looking through the book, you can tell that it is a declaration of love from the folks in this wonderful community. It only costs £7.49 and you can get it via Amazon. All the profits raised (about £2.79 per book) go into funding the charity so that the services they provide remain free.

    If you’re looking for a gift to give to someone this Christmas, at any other time or just want a colouring book for yourself, pick up a copy of Color My Heart Orange on Amazon.

    If you want to read more about the development of this beautiful creative collaboration, check out the post on the BOH blog.

    If you want to celebrate WordPress with the community, join us at the next WordFest Live. It is a 24-hour virtual global event.

    Have fun colouring, I know I will.
