fresh.produce

so i have been saying for quite a while that i wanted to start a blog. finally on a thursday afternoon in the PVC, i decided to get the courage to actually begin one. many have questioned what i would blog about. i say anything! food, shabby chic, life, love, friends, family, social justice, cupcakes, websites i am obsessed about, etc. so hold on tight, keep your eyes peeled and your hearts open.

trying to figure out a name for this blog i spoke with my bffaeae, mr. davie rowie. both of us were thinking since it seems to be my signature (at least on my emails) and it is something i strive to do everyday (though it is quite hard and feels sometimes impossible), that a blog titled "do.good.anyway" would be perfect! one of my heros, the fabulous and always chic mother teresa wrote this poem that inspires me each and every day. enjoy!

Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
