I have been inspired to start this blog due to a few friends starting their own blogs. I also hope it helps me out with my writing skillz (yes, with a z) since I am by no means a writer. Now to the obligatory about me section…..
My name is Olivia. I am almost 26 years old (April 3) and I live in the lovely city of Minneapolis with 2 girls from college, Melissa & Maria. I have your typical Monday thru Friday job working in merchandising at a fortune 100 company that is the leader in grocery and pharmacy serving a wide range of grocery stores in neighborhoods nationwide. Basically, in a broad sense, I work under a merchandiser and help him with deciding what stores should carry what products, solving vendor disputes, purchase order issues, approving promotions and occasionally going to meetings and sampling (and bringing home) lots of yummy food. Yeah that was wordy, sorry.
Anyways, like anyone else (maybe), there a lot of things I want to change. I have a great and a much appreciated life. I feel very fortunate to have a good job in the tough economy and to have great family and friends but I am striving for more fulfillment in my life.
2011 is the year of BIG changes for me. I will make them happen.
I’m sure you’re dying to know what those changes may be. Well, you’ll have to wait until my next blog post. I’ll also tell you why I chose to name my blog “Aspiring to Inspire” …kind of fu-fu and cheesey, I know, but there’s a reason for it.
Stay tuned….
