Sometimes the creative blogging juices just aren’t there. Today would be one of those days. When this happens, I flip back through my pictures for inspiration.

Today I found this…

They are just some of the many bookcases at a fantastically wonderful bookstore we visited during our time on the Cape. I think I could have spent the whole week in the store. It was opened years and years ago by a mom who was frustrated by the lack of quality children’s books she could find at her local bookstore. Her passion remains all these years later. The collection was amazing and the display gorgeous.

And here’s the weird part.

 As I drove home today from an interview at one of our local colleges, I thought as I often do, about my big picture goals. I know I want to work with parents, teachers and children. And I know I want to talk about, think about and write about children’s books. As I think about my goals, many images pop into my mind. Today one such image was of a quaint children’s bookstore with an amazing collection of wonderful books and amazing programming for teachers, parents and children.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that I stumbled upon this picture tonight….
