It's been exactly 22 days since I last posted on my lovely OD (shot out to my friends Nova/Blacque that suggested it--and my niece Olivia- also called OD!). I think about writing every single day of my life. It may be hard to believe, but it's true. I write blog entries in my head all the time! I've just been working at the day job, preparing for my move, annnnnnnnnd getting the official launch of my very own website together- where you will be able to get an abundance of everything I love to write about. I'm very excited for what's in store.
I woke up this morning and my fingers literally made me write today, no matter how random. So, the big news in my life, besides working on my website of course, is moving to Brooklyn, NY!!!! It has been 4 years, 3 months, 8 days, and counting since I took a one-way flight from NC to begin life anew in NYC. I've been moonlighting as a Jersey Girl. I thought Mayor Cory Booker and I would at least be courting by now, but he wasn't impressed by twitter advances-- or the fact that I trashed the city of Newark in one of my older posts (Speak for Yourself...). Of course this is all contingent on the idea that he saw my tweets or blog post, but I digress. Hello Brooklyn!
I would love to keep writing, but my mind is doing too much right now, and I have to pack. Just wanted to stop by, if even for my own sanity, and write. There has been alot of things happening this month of January 2011, but I'm trying to save them for my new website. So make sure you check it out when it's up!!!

My 2010 Year in Review: The Short Version
So much has happened in 2010; but in the grand book of my life, it's really just a paragraph. I will write my post accordingly- well, longer than a paragraph, but you get my point...
Honestly, 2010 for me has been a year of overall contentment. Under normal circumstances, this would be a good thing. However, the last time I was content with my life- I left everything in NC and started a life in NYC. So 2010 has taught me if nothing else- EVOLVE.
I resurrected my blog in 2010. That is the absolute highlight of my year. Doing something you are passionate about gives life. I breathe this blog. Even though I don't post as frequently as I want, that's what 2011 is for :-) I have big things in store for Opinionated Diva, it's my baby.
Speaking of life and babies, one of my besties is pregnant! 2010 was the year of the baby; praise G I wasn't one of them. But I have a feeling this little one is going to be alllll mine- well at least in my mind :-) I do love babies!
My love life in 2010 was not the best, but for some reason it did leave me hopeful about the future. Something about being in my 30s- confidence is abundant. I'm not the baddest b*tch, but I'm getting there.
2010 was also year of fitness for me. I engaged and evaded it. I don't have a new year's resolution (it's like setting myself up for failure!), BUT I am taking the challenge to be fierce, fit, and fab this year! You can too. Visit www.fiercefitfab.com
Speaking of appearance. I actually rocked my natural hair this year! What I love about being a Black woman is that I can rock so many styles. I'm not by any means a self-proclaimed Afrocentric kind of chick, but it was freeing to actually smile in the rain and not freak out because I forgot my umbrella!
Lastly, my 2010 ended where it all started. At home in Wilmington, NC. I enjoyed my vacation immensely. Tomorrow I will be on my way back to reality. I'm kinda sad, but kinda excited. Big moves are in store for me. Literally and figuratively! Until next time....
