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 Continues

I've been remiss in keeping up with my writing. This blogging is some work. I'm not always free to pen my thoughts and yet, I feel guilty when I don't. Gee.

Anyway, it's now June 9, about a week to my June 16 birthday. I'm hosting my party on June 11, so I'm very excited about that. I haven't had my own party since my surprise 18th. What a long time; I've hosted for the kids, for the hubby, my parents and others. Not really my own. So, I'm hoping for perfection but I'll settle with lots of fun with my friends.

I plan to introduce my venture to them and hopefully, they'll become regulars of Vickey's Kitchen. It's unique idea, having people come to our home to learn Trinidadian and Tobagoian cooking. And I want to focus on organic cooking. So, Vickey's Kitchen will be in full swing as I'm consider myself a natural didact. It's not in my nature to just cook for others; but to offer them the opportunity to learn for themselves as well.

So, on June 9, here's to the countdown to my birthday. I'm embracing it for what it stands. And I live my life with goals to carry me to the other side. I realize to live a full life, it must contain goals and aspirations. Otherwise, you're not living just existing.
