About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I'm a naturalized Caribbean immigrant in the grand old U.S.A. I live in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Ward 7 and I'm a forever-journalist. I started my first career as a magazine editor and I haven't been able to give it up. When I started this blog, I was knee-deep into my fourth career as a government public relations specialist. However, I have been heading up my editorial staffing company, Invisible Colours LLC out of my Ward 7 neighborhood. I'm expanding my company's brand by offering video production and other social media technologies for clients. This blog follows my journey as a 40-something-year old in Washington, D.C. Married for several years, I have three kids--a boy and two girls. I am blessed, and I'm loving all that God has given me. I have a master's in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's of arts from the University of the West Indies. I hope I can offer a little insight into my life and my experiences. Writing serves as a catharsis for me. It is what I do best. It is what I love. It is who I am.

What I've Learned. What I've Discerned

The difference between what I've learned and what I've discerned is that learning is what I'm told, what someone said. Discern is what I've been able to conclude or decipher.

Here goes.....

I've learned that to keep the crisper in the refrigerator clean, I should add a paper towel at the bottom, and then put the fruits and veggies on it. It'll keep the drawer clean but for some reason, the stuff lasts longer.

What I've discerned is that I'm an idiot that I never thought of that before. How simple was that? A housekeeper mentioned it to me.

Another thing I discerned was don't knock anyone's knowledge base. You never know when you might use it.
