Inspiring Words from a Children's Book

Tonight, I read my daughter a bedtime book that she picked out from her school library. She usually chooses books because of the vibrant colors and pictures . . . and the texture of the pages! This book was no exception. But the story gave me pause and inspired me to look at everyday things a little differently. You can use the lesson, too, to look at your marketing and business in a different perspective.

White is for Blueberry

By George Shannon

PINK is for a crow . . . when it is just hatched from its egg.

BLACK is for poppy . . . when we take the time to look inside.

RED is for leaves . . . when they are blowing in the autumn breeze.

GREEN is for turnip . . . when we see it in the farmer's field.

PURPLE is for snow . . . when the snow is the shadow of us.

WHITE is for blueberry . . . when the berry is still too young to pick.

BLUE is for firelight . . . when the fire is at the tip of a candlewick.

YELLOW is for pine tree . . . when the tree has been cut and sawed to build.

BROWN is for sweet potato . . . when the potato is still inside its skin.

ORANGE is for sky . . . when the sun has nearly set.

It all depends on when we look . . . how near or far . . .

outside

or in.
