Initially, I was hesitant to blog because I felt I didn't have enough time (and I prefer being private) but it has ended up being a blessing as I am led to being present / where I take time to add value to what is happening in my life at that moment. One thing I THOUGHT was missing here in Newport Beach was a sense of community but I think I'm quickly realizing that has to do with me... so maybe it's not so good to be so private...I had the opportunity to meet with a man that IS present in his life and in the community - Paul Taddeo of Haute Cakes. I was very touched by his warm demeanor and how his soul is expressed through his business. I believe his new logo on the store front speaks for itself. It's a treat to dine in their vintage inspired interiors (which his artistic wife in in the process of transforming.)
I was happy to introduce Paul to my lovely friend Mango (Debbie Leedom Holmsen) who is a HUGE supporter of Farm Aid (and was just at the festival where she was able to collaborate with Mr. hottie Dave Matthews.) They are all doing their part in their community by bringing awareness and efforts of Farm to Table. What can we all do more during this time of so much technology and me, me, me to be more present in our lives and our community?
