Color Before Responding
All the things that piss me off. Turns out, they piss you off too.
The meeting should have been an email. Someone is on speakerphone in public. Your package has been “three stops away” for four hours. And apparently, you’re the one who needs to calm down. So I made a book about it.
COLOR BEFORE RESPONDING is for those moments when saying exactly what you’re thinking is probably a terrible idea.
This isn’t just a coloring book. Each of the 30 everyday breaking points starts with a place to document the offense: who’s responsible, what happened, how pissed off you actually are, and—most importantly—what you really want to say. — $12.99
Not Your Usual Coloring Book
Cheaper than therapy. Considerably safer than replying.
First, document the offense. Who did it. What happened. How pissed off you actually are. And what you’d really like to say.
Then color the situation instead of responding to it. By the time you’re done, maybe that text, email, comment, or beautifully worded insult doesn’t need to be sent after all.
Maybe you’ll calm down. Maybe you won’t. But at least you colored something.
WRITE IT. COLOR IT. GET OVER IT.
At The Helm
She proved the documents were forged. The court agreed. She lost the house anyway.
This is the true story of what happened next.
Representing herself, Leena went to court 64 times. A notary testified under oath that she did not sign one of the documents. A handwriting expert concluded another notary signature was forged. The judge called the forgery evidence “compelling” and “uncontroverted.”
And yet the foreclosure stood.
At the Helm follows the case through court records, transcripts, sworn testimony, and the documents themselves. It’s not a story about losing a house. It’s about what happens when you prove what happened—and it still doesn’t change the outcome.
The fight isn’t over.
The Homeowner's Guide to Fighting the Mortgage Machine
Evidence doesn’t speak. You do.
Most homeowners focus on finding the smoking gun. That’s not enough. You have to know how to get your evidence before the court, make the right objection, use the rules of evidence and procedure, and preserve the record when the court gets it wrong.
David v Goliath teaches those skills. Nine modules built from years of research and real courtroom experience—plus live Zoom workshops where you can ask questions and work through the process.
The documents matter. Knowing what to do with them matters more.
About Leena Hannonen
Artist. Author. Reluctant expert in things that piss people off.
I spent most of my life making art. Then life handed me a foreclosure fight, 64 court appearances, forged documents, and enough everyday aggravation to fill a coloring book.
Apparently, I write books now too.
