Midnite Rambles

And there she is..... My baby all grown up!  Launching in early 2012 (hoping January is the month!), OD (http://www.opinionateddiva.com/) will be officially mine. And yours! I will continue to share all of my life experiencs- good and bad- so don't fret.  But my goal has always been to have a site that people go to because they want an honest opinion about what's going on in the world.  Considering that I started this blog in 2004 (don't try to find those entries- I got all feng shui and deleted them years ago to "start fresh."  What was I thinking?), I think I'm ready to take that leap.

Of course I want it to be successful, and unlike this blog, I do want to have a larger audience.  BUT, what I don't want is to lose the essence of what OD is about.  So, I hope you like it, and I promise to stay true. This site is going to have a little bit of everything.  Did you know I started a blog called "TD Newswire" that is still sitting in my blogger dashboard. 2 years later, and.....nothing. I am a news fanatic, yet I never acted on it.  So, OD will cover a variety of topics, and in the grand scheme of my dreams it will continue to expand.  I won't take up too much of your time, but just wanted to offer you a glimpse of what's to come.  Make sure you bookmark OD, like our page on FB, and follow me on Twitter. 

Side note: Believe me, just because I haven't written about it doesn't mean I don't have a story to tell.  My life continues to bring in the laughs. At my expense. I will share them all with you in due time :-)

Side Side note:  I realize my logo doesn't look all glossy and professional, but you know what? I did it all by myself and I am beyond over the moon about it, so deal with it! lol However, I have sent it to the salon for a full makeover, so the finished product will look more professional.  But I just had to share it, because I am doing OD not only for myself, but for you:-)

Love ,
OD

Still Here!

Hey y'all- I'm still here!  Believe me, it pains me more than you to see OD on my "favorites" toolbar looking at me with those why don't you love me anymore eyes.  Don't worry, she will have a new home soon and the universe will again be in balance.   Of course I'll still be posting; but in the mean-time between-time, I'm on to a bigger discovery...

As you know, I got my library card this summer.  I am still very much a regular on the NY library scene.  First, I wanted to embark on a journey to learn more about my history.  Success.  I am definitely more aware and grateful for the life I live, and my complaining went down about 20% (wait, that is alot right?).  Recently, I decided to embark on a another journey- of self.  It's been Ah-mazing.  If you've ever read the Karma post [my favorite piece written to date], then you know I believe 1000% in aura, energy, cosmic influence, etc (yes, I probably was a buddhist or close to it in my former life).  I'm still learning, but I can tell you with profound certainty I am in a different space.  In just the span of a few weeks my focus has completely shifted.  It's crazy.  No- I'm not gonna get all sanctified or follow you around the airport Hare-Krishna style, that's not my thing. So far from it lol!  But- I do believe I have found my center. That's all.  Just wanted to share my world for the moment:-)

Until OD strikes again....
