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.

The Countdown is On

Whew, the countdown is on. It's less than a month before the big 40. Whew. What's changed? I've finally colored my hair (gotta hide these grays), I got my nails done, and I'm working out to lose some extra pounds. Man, they come on like I don't know. And they're slooooowwww to leave. Geez.

But my outlook's great. I'm loving life, and enjoying all God has offered. Life is good.

On June 11, I'll be having a cocktail party--nothing too fancy--just some friends to help me celebrate the next decade of my life. I'm excited. This is a month of celebration too. My daughter, Taleyah, turns 7 on June 4, and my son, Nicholas, will be graduating from Gonzaga College High School, on June 5. After that, we'll throw a barbeque/cake and ice cream party for them at our home. I want to keep it simple, not have too many people and just let the kids enjoy their time.
