What’s New? 2019

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

Divider page from my latest book.
Wedding Planning Planner

What’s new? In this fast pace of everything and everyone moving faster than I can imagine. I have run a race worth speaking about and I am looking forward to just that. You see technology changed the world. It hits us daily with the bloggers, the trend setters and the what’s important and what is not.

Not much different than before at the same time totally different. Why because I now too confess at how easy it is to get my hands on the information at hand. I cheat! I confess I cheat now. I cheat at instead of picking up the recipe book I look at my phone or device to look up a recipe and then I think, that’s different than I remember it. Of corse it’s different. It’s not from the book or the person who wrote the book that I am looking up. How silly is that to look in a new place for something old.

Non-the-less that’s what I think is happening to many of us. We decluttered ourselves away. We want that old familiar person, recipe, favorite thing, however we are using a new way. What is it with humans that we need the comfort of old. We need to feel like people care more than a DM or Text Message. That doesn’t fill the void of being near someone we love.

We read all the time how so and so broke up their marriage over a text message. Now we have photographic evidence that her husband is having an affair, his wife is seeing someone new. What do we do, snap a photograph and text message it. Rather that going to that person and telling them the truth. We don’t want to be involved. We want to win in the race of life. Not understanding how painful listening all the time to the yelling can be.

I still am amazed at the insensitivity this new age has brought us. We are in a new age when we think faster is better. Is it really. I was recently confronted with the reality of my childhood friend who has been married many times allowed her family to have a sister-cousin. It has taken me several years to understand what that meant. Being of a different religion, I have no words of comprehension how how this has affect her and her believes. What makes that acceptable. Hate the sin, not the sinner I have been told. We all have sins of choice. Addictions we battle within ourselves. Who am I to judge, I ask myself constantly. Yet, does my opinion matter if I gave it. It has been years and I have been avoiding talking with her. Mainly, because I don’t have words to express what I feel without sounding like a judgmental bitch. I wan’t her to know I love 💕 her. Yet, I am, angry that she allowed this to happen. I am also angry at myself for feeling the way I do. We all fall short. So who am I? Who am I to have such strong opinion that I want to yell at her spouse! I can’t, so I don’t, therefore I won’t get involved in my childhood friends marriage. That has left us with pleasantries during the Christmas holidays. Short little somethings that fit onto a postcard style Christmas 🎄 Card.

What’s new in your 2019?

If I keep it all business then this is what I would share. I am close to finishing my second book. It looks like social media is playing a part in telling me what they like. This makes my second guessing myself, so much less and I am happy to report that it is a slow going. Event planning continues to be on the cutting edge of technology mixed with business. Cookie cutter weddings still continue to be a way to cut back cost of weddings. Weddings in San Diego are averaging $35,000/year. I have added a new service to my business. It’s a business that can travel wherever the client want to pay for me to plan their event. This makes things interesting.

I hope your mid-year 2019 check is doing great things for you!

I Look A Mess I Don't Have Anything To Hide

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

As woman we fight all kinds of battle. Some for ourselves to stay content and give thanksgiving in everything the God brings our way, others just because we are selfish enough to want to live a life that God intended us to live. Most of all we fight the battle because this is what we are told we must do.

There is no battle when you are signal, other than the one to have your own name, reputation, honor in your own body, earned respect of others, in your business life and in your personal life. What greater battle is there than in knowing the truth. I do not fight when I wake up in the morning for I know the truth in my life. I fight to be the woman God intended me to by. Not my mothers child, the woman he raised me up to be.

Number one on Googles list of woman who look a mess.Did someone care enough to ask her why?

Sometimes, we don't look like what we are suppose to look like. We run to the grocery store for something and we run into a friend. Wow, they say, you don't look like yourself. I laugh and think to myself what is it that you were expecting? You see me on Sunday, workdays with my best forward, however on a regular day when I am just myself it is unacceptable to you?  This thought runs through my mind, however I don't speak it. It is a thought not worth speaking. I think, if I were a negative person I would tell you all the things I am trying to accomplish, however I am just myself, trying to support myself. Trying to live the life I was suppose to live not the lies others want for me.

It is the truth of day to day life, we doesn't always look the way others think it should. We don't always act life others want us to. Social media, expects woman to look a certain way, our children expect us "mom" to look and act a certain way, movies portray woman without faults. The truth is we suffer from all types of life circumstances. We fluctuate the ups and down's of life know their is a greater purpose to our life then what you expect. We woman don't have to look any certain way. God describes Eve, however he doesn't describe her physical appears other than to say she came from the rib of Adam. Sometimes, I hear what you say, however the freedom is knowing what is best, God's best for my life. Not your life, my life. If I was a preacher I would tell you God wants all His people to know that Jesus Christ is Lord. That you are saved by grace and not by works. That you are a believer. When you accept the fact that there is John 3:16. The goal is to believe everyday, act that way and accept grace. Giving thanks always. I might not look like you expect, however I believe I am doing the best I can.

However, I am not a preacher, therefore I can only ask you the next time you see me, don't judge by my appearance. Ask me as a person how am I doing and if you really want to know and care for me I will tell you. Otherwise just say hello and be on your way. Only my true friends, family need to know the reality of my life. That is the difference between a relationship and a gossip.
