What's With the Blog Name?

Hi! Ever wonder why my blog is titled "The Life Of An Olive Tree"? Well, it's because my name means olive tree. I always thought is was weird because I thought, "I was named after a freakin' plant?!" but I found out that the olive tree is popular in Greece along the years. (Of course most of you probably already new this.) I embrace the fact that my name means olive tree, because I've been called "Olive" by friends.
