What Inspires Me

Well, with sweaty palms it's my turn to step up to the plate in the Blog It Forward mash up so cleverly created and organised by the charming ms. sfgirlbybay.

A bunch of bloggers all signed up to post about 'what inspires me', so today I take the torch over from Charmaine at The Delicious Home and tomorrow it goes on to Sarah + Betsy at The Estate of Things. Two incredible blogs that I've got to discover through this cool little mash up. Head over to here to see everyone that is involved, this is the most impressive blog roll I've seen!

As the name of my blog might allude to, I like diversions. I'm that annoying gemini girl who sits around telling friends 'a fast game's a good game' and gets too many shoes, too many cupboards, buys too many gifts, has too many dreams and spends too many nights thinking what is it that really inspires me?! I've come to learn there is no answer for that. I will always be hungry for new delights and diversions. That's just me.

So apart from my beautiful boys, fabulous friends, travel, nature and all those amazing parts of my life that make every day worth while; the things that often inspire me, are the things that make me still. The things that capture my attention for longer than a nano second. I'm so glad I live in a time and place where I can go online anytime, anyday and find these treasures that take my breath away and calm my quest.

These are some of the delights that have inspired me lately and made me still, hope you catch your breath on one or two too.

{This particularly caught my eye, have realised this must have been my neighbour in the building next to me in Paris. Same view, same floor, one building down. Amazing!}
