"The success of this work really relies on meeting like-minded people." TOMS on Twitter

After being teased by the nightlife on Abbot Kinney,
a return the next morning was necessary for two reasons.

First things first...
we needed a nutritious breakfast and looked no further than...
where their whole attitude about food makes you feel better.
Maybe it was the idea of having...

 that made me feel like a youngster on spring break,
 but the server assured me it was the result of drinking the green concoction, made palatable by chasing it down with apple juice.
Definitely a better way to start the day.

Secondly,
a visit to the newly opened Tom's Flagship Store...
in Venice...
where it all began back in 2006.
Not just a place to buy shoes, you can have a chat over a cup of coffee on the green turf covered back patio.

A longtime fan of Tom's original concept of one-for-one... 
I have watched as other companies have used the same formula leading to even more collaborations resulting in more love being shared around the world.
For example, early on he organized a shoe drop where medical organizations were providing anti-parasitic medication to shoeless children in Africa to prevent soil-transmitted intestinal parasites. 
 Just one example of the true heart of this company.

What a great place to hang out...
but until you are able to visit...
check out the blog to keep you in the loop of all the cool opportunities available.

Happy Thursday.
