In 1930, Ruth Wakefield and her husband owned an inn outside of Wakefield, Massachusetts. Built in 1709, the old house was used as a rest stop for travelers to change their horses, pay their tolls, and get something to eat, earning it the name “The Toll House Inn.” The Wakefields kept the tradition of providing travelers with rest and good food through the Great Depression.
Ruth Wakefield was well known for her baking, and often made Butter Drop Do Cookies. Her recipe required baker’s chocolate, which melted completely, producing a chocolate cookie. One day in 1937, as she began making the cookies, she realized she was out of baker’s chocolate, but happened to have a nestle semi-sweet chocolate bar on hand. She chopped it into chunks and put it in the batter, expecting it to disappear and melt into the cookie, producing the familiar chocolate cookie for which she had grown famous.

Like many things in life, knowing and doing are two different ball games. We all know that we should stand out and not get sucked into the crowd or give in to peer pressure. But it’s a whole different story when we are standing face-to-face with our friends and you have to literally take a stand, sometimes even at the cost of the friendship.
Yes, it’s hard.
