I initially started a blog entitled Business that are Changing the World as a class assignment. My first post was a breeze because I was truly inspired after hearing a speech from the guy who invented TOM’S Shoes. But as I began my second post, I realized that my inspiration didn’t draw from the businesses themselves but rather from the love and compassion that was founded in the very idea of helping others. So in short, I’m changing my blog to feature stories of love rather than business – after all, I spend enough time in a cubicle all day.
The inspiration came in a moment of desperation early Tuesday morning as I was racking my brain for a post due the next day. There in my inbox lay the answer. A YouTube video – a proposal video to be exact. It was the perfect combination of old people and new love and I don’t know what it is but when these two are weaved together, I just lose it (in a very discrete and professional way of course – hello, I am at the office). As I sat there quietly weeping at my desk, my intern handing my tissues, the light bulb went off (or on, I never know which one it is).
I will write about love, about observations of people in love, about proposals, about Friday nights watching Say Yes to the Dress (Just kidding, I don’t really do that…well not every Friday..I’m sure I’ve missed one or two!). Writing about love just comes so naturally, so if you’re in love, read this. If you want to be in love, this is for dreamers like you. If you’ve stopped believing in love (à la Kristin Wiig in Bridesmaids), renew your faith by looking at all the proof I will bring to you right here on this little blog called Good Ol’ Fashion Love.
