Awh Let's Party Plan!

 Tickets, tickets anyone? This could be a theme for a party. Anyone could choose the silliest of themes. A theme is a thought liked by others to decorate and create a common connection between attendees. Party planning can be overwhelming. As a YouTuber said recently when attempting to plan her sisters birthday party. Watch the video to see whom I quoted. Usually party within the home or house of an individual have themes. Themes are a difficult and overwhelming. They can be silly, fun, complex. What makes a party difficult is carring the theme throughout the whole party. There is so many to choose like balloons. If you choose to many it can Lift you away. If you choose the wrong one it can take you in the wrong direction. Spending your money in an unusual way. Swipe!

The truth is a themed party should be carried through the whole part the day. The store can be overwhelming.    store. Unless you have decided what you are looking for. I suggest making a list before you start shopping. This is why shopping online is helpful. Comparative price shopping. It is a theme you choose for the guest of honor is one she/he likes, is into finding out  or learning or is a part of for the day. It will be in their lives for a while.

As you look down the isle and want to purchase everything. You should stop to consider the following. This is assuming that the theme is picked before you entered the store.

1. Pick a theme. 
2. Know your budget.
3.  Be strong resist temptation.
4. Pick a color for paper plates, cups, napkins.
5. Make sure guest know what to expect.
6. Make sure the surprise is well kept.  If it's a surprise. The best way do do that is by having another person keep the guest of honor busy with something else. 
   
7. If your doing this yourself make sure you have plenty of food for the guest.
8. The average guest will consume more than you think. Therefore, if serving alcoholic beverages. Gather guest keys to prevent anyone driving drunk. 9all them an Uber or Taxi if need. Drinking and driving in the state of California makes the person who served the alcohol responsible. Maybe, I should reword this driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages or other drugs is illegal in the State of California .
9. Make sure if it is a large party in your home you purchase party insurance. This is an addition to the policy you already have. The reason for this is alcoholic beverages or food intoxication can fall on the homeowner and they can be held liable.
10. Remember to keep it light and when people tell you how great it is, never tell them how difficult it was planning it. If it get back to the guest of honor it will offend. She / He might take it personally.
11. The truth is: it is difficult. Your doing all the work, the guest are having all the fun, just understand that's normal. You'll be alright.
12. If the party is out of control. Walk into another room and call the non-emergency local police. I recommend to all people to look this number up and have it in your cell phone. The local police will help you get your guest who is causing problems out of your house.

Back To Nature

Hi there,

Have you seen the recent fashion for season 2018-19 fall and winter? It is inspired as usual. I just don't know how he does it. Such an artist for this generation and beyond. His knowledge of the woman body and proportion are amazing and Chanel would still be so proud of the accomplishments achieved today. It is clothing appropriate for many generations without loosing Chanel original goal. He is true to the company believes!

The colors for fall and winter are a little unexpected, however they are non-the-less more applicable and serious tones. I'm not sure if anyone remembers Carol Kings album years ago named tapestry ,  that's what this year's fashion line reminds me of. A beautiful tapestry with the rich colors of fall and winter. They are rich and deep colors. Maybe, Musee d'Orsay Paris or The Apocalypse Tapestry in large medievil French Tapestry commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou. I not sure if this was his intention, it is a definite work of art.

Take a look. Let me know what you think. In the comment below. 

Items can be purchased at Chanel . I believe you have to pre-order for 2018-19 Fall -Winter Season

Is There A Difference?

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

What is important to you? I thought this blog

would have produced more fruit. Fruit the Christian way of saying blessings, food, sustainability. However, what I discovered is that fruit and moninization are two different things. Are they? Is a blessing in a person's life worth rewarding with paying them? If I m feeding you with words that help you, isn't reasonable to think I'd be paid for it? Monetization?

Is the work place different that my place of church? Did it become one big mess when I entered the work place, due to my chosen profession? It took me a while to understand this when I entered the work place it affected my worship. Why is this? Should it have?

_{The differce between being a Christain stay at home mom and a Christain mom who is employees. The biggest difference is the employed mom gets paid for her donation in the workplace. She not considered just a mom. She has more roles to forfilll. She's no longer the fruit tree people expect her to be. She has to lay down her cross. Ha! Therefore, they have to become their own tree. If your looking for a lemons. Then you need to be the lemon for your own cause. That how to produce fruit. Isn't it?}

_{The most naivee thought is that one stops being a Christian when you enter the workplace. When the reality is you know that you, me, us, Christian woman we hold ourselves to a higher standard. That's what we tell ourselves anyway. Sometimes people think she was in bible study, therefore she should behave...then they (people add their expectations) as if you had an obligation to them to give them something due to them causing you pain or problems. Calling it persecution. I want from Jesus therefore give me.  You have a personal relationship with Christ he made saints, therefore make me a staint. It doesn't work that way. Look at it this way. Jesus didn't volunteer to be persecuted. He came so people would know truth. Who's truth? God's truth.}

_{What if you looked at it as volunteer  vs employment.}

Volunteer vs Employee 

1. _{Volunteers are always needed, if you look at it as a numbers game. Very few people choose to volunteer. Most volunteers feel like they are contributing to a cause worth while. It worth of their time.}
2. Volunteers are recruited or asked to take a position of leadership.do they have the skills? Some do some don't. If they don't they grow into it, or they are not asked the following year.
3. Volunteers may or may not have college education.
4. Volunteers are task specific.
5. Volunteers at the end of the task usually receive some type of thank you.

Employees 

1. Employee are always needed. Employees usually are plentiful if they pay is good. The money received in exchanged for goods or services. Most people employees feel it is worth their own time.
2. There are employment positions that are recruited. Usually the higher up the corporate ladder the more likely the employment position and employee are looked for. The person to fit the position posses a certain skillset. Education.
3. Employee may or may not need a college education depending on the position they are filing.
4. Employees may be task specific.
5. Employees at the end of task, may or may not receive a thank you. The task might just be in the job expectations and not about a thank you.

Do you need money? Find employment? Stop volunteering ask or the place your volunteering if they have a paid position.. Don't stop attending the things you believe in. For everything their is a season. I pruning my blog to see if it will bear fruit. Yes, in the form of money. If it doesn't then their are specific next actions I will take. Fruit of bloggers is monetization. Payment for their writings. Pruning is important for good fruit.

55± Do I have To Live There?

Hi there,

What is this? Aging no longer gives you respect for what you know and ones ability to teach, live experience life?  There, was a saying  that people shouted in fights or in the movies "Just beat It Out of Him!" Like and old had woven carpet. They just take it outside and beat it. With a tool like a tennis racket. I remember helping my grandmother. Then I remembered hiding in between the tent like carpet to irritating her. It's actually very hard labor. One has to use ones muscles. Upper body strength. Hit it too hard it fibers break, too gentel you accomplish nothing. Lesson learned that summer. Making sure everything is out of the fibers except the fibers and they fall into place. This is what happens when grandparents have a say in raising their grandchildren. They share pieces of their lives that their own children didn't get. They were so important in my life. Are the elderly the unheard population today?

As I look to start over and purchase my first home I have met with several Realtors who keep directing me to the place I should live. With people my own age. Really? I think to myself. These 55 or older communities and the other option is a trailer home? Really? That's it. Is this a form of discrimination? Like my grandmother hiding the vacuum so she could teach a lesson is it really about controlling people in order to force them to act like other people their age? Put me back in school cause I missed the lesson that said I had to behave like others my age. Where does it say that? Really? That's what you expect.

I have plans, dreams, prayers of my own and they don't include yours. I don't enjoy golfing. Balls fly everywhere when I golf. There went the elderly putting green retirement home. I don't enjoy shuffle board meeting an occasional game can be fun. I'd rather be free to choice. I'll drive to the golf course. I'll drive to the duffle board game. I can play cricket anywhere I choose. There are many other things I'd rather be doing. Soccer is a sport I enjoy photographing. Like many other sports. I am past the age of playing it. However, just because I enjoy watching the sport doesn't mean I want to live on the green with those that play.

Nonetheless, each age group has its plus and minuses. The point is in the discovery of what the future has for me. Each person has the right to be an individual and not a cookie mold of someone else. I am not my grandmother or my mother or my sister or my aunts and uncle, family children. However, I am. Why? The shared experiences.

The life, this life we live is difficult enough without forcing the elderly or the young to behave how we want just because we want. I find myself in new experiences I never imagined. Why? I never thought I'd be single woman at this age. What is the rest of my life going to be like? I don't know. I never planned  being flug into where I am today. That what happens when the word Stop! , No! Isn't listen to. Don't try to be my voice for you do not know what it's like.   

Like, subscribe, tell a friend. Disclaimer on contact page. The next time you want to tell me something. If it's that important I need to know, sit down and write me a letter and tell me about it. Maybe, you think better standing up. Either way I prefer you outing it in writing. I can't do anything about age stereotypes or ageism. Your local government can write. Bureau for Better Housing  "ageism, homeless, pregnant teens" This bureau helps with many aspects. Let's see if we can make America Great Again!

Here is My Pexel Time Offering

Hi there, Diamond Glamor Girls;

We each think we have a beautiful life and I am no exception.  My life may not look good to others or perfect by any means. I understand that living and life can mean two different things.

Life as I see it has more meaning than just the way we live. Life is what has a bible attached. It has meaning, purpose, love, understanding, compassion, people.

In a fast world when apps, cameras, tv's, cars, computer and now home appliances are becoming fast. Are we loosing the meaning of life? It's easy to come off "high" and forget the lessons learned. You see Monet famous artist today saw life in pixels. He used brush strokes to explain what he was seeing and people made fun. They didn't understand or want to take the time to explain.

No one believed him and today they still think he had a vision problem. Maybe he was seeing a digital camera? The only thing is he wasn't an inventor and therefore didn't have the knowledge or words to express himself. Would we have thought he was an amazing artist or just made fun of him? Maybe even just want what he wanted? Personal theft?

In all this time of faster, better, more abundance. Do we forget to live? Care? Love? Understand? Express Compassion? When was the last time you invited your neighbor over? Do you even know them?

How times have changed. Having a cup of coffee with someone no longer means inviting them over. Making the coffee and having a conversation it means. Stopping at Starbucks picking up a cup of coffee and video the drive to where ever or whatever one is doing. Are we pixeling the world? Living our lives in fragments? Like time in a bottle will we put our pixels in a vase and offer them as any glad tithe. Will we place on his table and say that is the best I have. Your will. Will you hide it away? Will He bless them?         

 I honestly don't have an answer. Does fast in the way we (society) does things mean we loose what matters most? The way we believe? I have no answers for you. I don't know what He will say to all your fragments in a vase? Will it just mean money? Is the human body just money? If that is so then I confess I lost the meaning to life and living life. What do you think?

Encinitas Lifestyle

Hi there, Diamond Glamor Girls;

I often get asked "What is it like to live in Encinitas?" The reply  "What is it like to live in your city?" Most of the time I realize that people don't really know what it is like to live in their own place, city or town. They ask this to make conversation. Most people want to help, they just don't know how to. They want friendship. They just don't know how to be a friend.

It's important to know who you are to before you ask others who they are. There is a point where one can have to much information, therefore not be able to use any of it, others seek it too.

Here are a few photographs I took of Encinitas, CA the place I call home.

The city is located just south of Carlsbad, CA and north of San Diego.

If you enjoy quiet peaceful living then you enjoy my little city of Encinitas, CA. The temperature is between 60-80. Most of the time the people are friendly and kind.

 Once you see the sign you know you have entered iconic Encinitas. With its historical buildings that are protected by the historical society. The La Paloma threatre is such an interesting place. One can read about its glory days. I had the privilege of asking the owner how he was able to keep the place looking so original. He explained when they need to make repairs they have the fabric and other items custom made. It's new, however it looks old.

Mexican skeletons! Need some? Just stop by the trading post! They have thirty stores in one. I'm sure you'll find the right one for you.  You can probably walk the whole town in a day. I'm sure you'll find the hidden historical first school or the two ships that mysteriously appeared on land. There is always a stop here and there for food, music a beer or two.  Don't forget to stop by the Lumberyard, while your there stop at St. Topaz, order a coffee and pastry. If your not into the classic things or cars then move off of 101 and head towards El Camino real.
