inspired

"Make the most of yourself, 

for that is all there is of you." 

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

We're a week into the new the new year, and I've decided to change up my Saturday posts to focus on being inspired. What inspires you? For me, I find great inspiration from my surroundings, especially when I find beauty in them, in other words by being present and noticing what is around me I am so often inspired. Here are a few images of people, places, and things that have inspired me...

 in a Paris park -
I adore her attention to details
and how cute are her shoes!?

noticing a robin that blends right in

perhaps nothing inspires me more than a
walk through a beautiful garden

on vacation,
a quiet sitting area inspires me
to create this type of oasis
 right at home
