How much money do you owe? Business Start-up

Hi there,

Rianna says the truth in business. "Pay me the money you owe me, don't act like you don't know what I am talking about!" That's business. Business is about making money for oneself. To do with what you think is right. Maria Kamon believes she should be paid for helping others.

That's why I suggest yo get a mentor. The place to get professional help at a minimal fee is S.C.O.R.E. They have retired Business men and woman help people create something out of nothing.

Steps To Starting A Business

Foul Ball Park At Your Own Risk!

Hi there,

I was told today I hadn't written a blog for a while. The truth is I am a mom. To some I might be considered old. To others young. I am a female, woman. I raised a bunch of young men.. Why, because that's what I gave birth to. I called God once and asked. He didn't answer. Today, I am grateful he didn't answer my phone call.  My young children brought many other young male children and from there I matured to understand that Men don't think like and the battle is the Lords. Lords need prayer.

I started this blog as a promise to my child one of the ones I have been blessed with. Who always worried about what should happen to me if he passed away. How will you make an income for yourselves he'd ask me. My industry was phasing out anyone over 40 years of age. He was financially supporting me after his dad and I split up. He encouraged me to take classes learn technology and do my best. Very much I'd see myself in him, talking to me like I had talked to him so many times.

He told me I give good advice to him and the thought his friend who always found it to be sound advice agreed. Here I am trying to make a living from the words I wrote for him. Here is a Father's Day words I shared with him in the hopes he'd get married and have a family. For Dustin Kamon and all those young men out there who don't understand the beauty of marriage, Father's and love Father's bring. For those that just want to pain people. The world in daily living has enough experience and life lessons in pain. You can retire. No one needs the pain I feel daily. It is not a need, a desire, a request. It just is.

Fatherhood

  

Faithful

Accomplished

Trustworthy

Honorable

Earnest

Respect

Humility

Order

Over the top

Dedicated

To have a dad that has these traits

Means you grow up with character

To have grown up with character

Means you have integrity

To have grown up with integrity

Means you do not change when

You are tested.

Maria Kamon

Son, I hope you don't mind I made these word public. I hope I do right. I love you more than you'll ever know. Love Mom

Rome, Relationship, Romance,

Hi there,

I laugh to myself as I write this blog. Mainly, I have been blessed in live with having won a few battles, and lost a few battles. Age is a beautiful gift. When I was a child my father would always say; "When in Rome do as a Roman". Weddings planning has taught me not all people think alike and the most difficult thing in a relationship is how to keep it when your roaming, trying to romance.

It's difficult for wives to know their man cares for more than one woman. Platonic vs romantic? I once heard Billy Graham say why even put yourself in that situation. He never allowed himself to have dinner with another woman if his wife wasn't present. I thought that's great! Not realistic forth real business world today. I've tried telling employers, I didn't want to be a part of social gatherings without my husband. They just made it mandatory.

Here is my best advice.

1. Keep it honest. (Tell the person in your relationship when your attracted to another.)

2. Take responsibility for your mistakes.

3.  Maturity in a relationship and in your personal being takes time and working through issues makes for a better relationship. Sometimes, one doesn't understand the danger because they lack maturity. They may have never experienced a person who doesn't want good for them. Usually, this person covets what you want/have.

4. Stay positive. You'll work through the issues. You'll mature. You'll get a promotion out of it. You'll succeed.

5. As for help. Help me to see your viewpoint. Understand it. Why do you think like this? Help me to stay. Succeed. Succeed is not measure by our problems. It's measured by how gracefully we overcome them.

Apple 8

Hi there, Readers;

I'm not sure what to say. Have I sold out? I have to ask myself. The cost of a new phone every year is over the top, so I have been rotating between my business, don't mess with me phone and first love BlackBerry and iPhone. SUDDENLY AFTER CARRYING TWO PHONES AROUND FOR YEARS APPLE decides to "listen to the people". I say this half jokingly as I read they were doubling on security. What a thought. Why would they have two securities? Then this came out!

Look at this baby! They are allowing two Internet systems. For those who love cars this looks like chrome baby! For the rest of us who have to be able to use both systems at work, this looks like a possible solutions. To the I have to use this system at work, however I like this system at home what a great solution. How will this affect highly respected Blackberry? Will they allow us to safari? Game on, BlackBerry, we know you love business competition. Your phones have always provided a great service and compatability with some business. Is Apple stepping on your toes? Can't wait to see your solution. Apple recognized for their knowledge in schools and business intelligence. Your making the competition strong for compidaditors.

Could they have really come up with a solution to the split lifestyle of what I want vs what I have to have. We will see next year when Apple 8 come out. The truth is the we will have have ate.

Roses By Another Name

Hi there, Reader,

Spat! Spat! Spat! You have paint all over you! Paint balls. I remember taking a bunch of my children's friends to paint Ball. I watched as they play this game with all their paint Ball gear and paint balls. Like all sports after the game was over they would return to the designated location filled with dirt, sweat, and in this case like a paint canvas with colors all over. I stopped and question what could be the fun in this game. They would always. Mom you just don't get it. You just don't understand. I laugh. So, I decided one day to try it. Then full agreement. Although, I had fun I didn't like the results of bruises it left on my body. Somehow, I bruise easily.

Who new it would later turn into a fashion statement.

Cinco De Mayo

Hi there, Reader;

Today is the last day to officially count it Cinco De Mayo food. My post may be late for this blog, my understanding is not.

To be a single man in today's world is understanding the difference in the roles we play in not only each others lives, also in the lives of our family and friends. How many of you are like I am who after many years of marriage life change and you found yourself having, being forced into situations you don't want to be in but are force to deal with it anyway. Positive action begot positive action.

Maybe, it's because of the
       Loss of  child
             Divorce
                 Aging parents
                    An ex who is under the assumption        that after years of saying No you are
                           suddenly interested.

Here is my new philosophy if there is the slightest possible joy in the world I am going to enjoy it. Even if it is by myself. My aging parents do not understand the reality of themselves aging and the impact it had on my life when forced to have to be raise a family drive two hours take care of them drive back two hours and run my own life with my family. Their own fight to survive and friend who understood that and for this I will always be grateful.

What is Cinco De Mayo about? We use it as a holiday to eat! I'm with you if you think it's a holiday to eat, eat. If you think it has meaning to you as a America citizen then learn more about the subject and do what is right for yourself.

 May your day be filled with your own happiness, Joy and Peace. If you didn't have a delicious food yesterday then do so today!   Happy Cinco De Mayo!    

                   

Man Bags Part 2

Hi there, Reader ;

What is the most difficult thing you have done since my last blog?

I thought so. It is difficult in deciding between function and looks. What is good looking isn't always functional. What is functional isn't always good looking!

Here are a few more man bags that are both. I hope this helps you in your Father's Day shopping list. I know I have my preference for the men I shop for. These run in the price rage of just over $150 to $300.00. The store I was shopping at was Nordstrom

These briefcases I discovered are almost like a backpack they Haverhill the same compartments. You can carry your computer and other nessisities . While looking sharp and professional. It does have a strap you can cross body. Please do not confuse these with a message bag. The men messenger bags are a little smaller in size. The above photograph is of briefcases.

Herschal bags seem to be the big thing right now. They are all the latest has in a verity of colors, sizes and fabrics. I don't think this Brad comes in leather although I might be mistaken. One of the things I liked about this backpack is its options for pockets. It has a variety of uses. Some are available for transporting your computer while other  do not have that option. I'm not sure if one could fit the Mac drone in one of these I do know it's a smart look for one.

I also liked how the have the security look to them. I think I would have appreciated if the Man Bags had a security Pocket for the wallet. Also a pocket for your smart phone that you could access without having to open the main part where you hold all the information. I think it is important for Men not to put their smart phone in their pockets. Mainly due to the risk factors studies have shown smart phones have on men.

This concludes my blog for man bags. What I did discover is before shopping for one, you need to know what exactly the man's needs are. What he will be using it for and most of all his style.

Man Bags

Hi there, Reader;

First I have to say this might offend some of you and you might me thinking I don't use a man bag. I thought the same thing when I began doing research. I thought to myself; "Man bag? Men carry briefcases to work." I began doing research on what a man bag is considered. I looked up the definition and although it varies, some I can't post, I will for the purpose of this blog post call it a fabric or leather displaying a brand. That's kind of true. Man bags have come a long way. It is now considered any type of associates in which one puts content into. Such as a wallet, briefcases, backpack, card case.

For centuries men have carried a briefcase to work. Now it is acceptable for them to have several options. In this search to find out the difference between the classes, yes classes still exíst that's why there are different price points. If this offends you let me say I didn't create them. I'm just reporting them. Ask a dog. Is one dog the same as another? No! One man bag is not the same as another.

Here are some photographs of Man Bags. Designers. Let's start with well known designers.

                             Micheal Kors 

 The bags price points is between one hundred and three hundred dollars. Are you a fabric person or leather?

 These too leather bags have plenty of room for your laptop and other paperwork you might have to carry.

You have to check closely some just have an uncovered Pocket in the back some zippered it's a personal preference. Can be purchased at Macy's.

The next on the list is...

Coach

My favorite of all the designer man bags I looked at. They have been around making man bags since 1917! The leather is beautiful and ages gracefully.

They have this new white and black plus, two types of leather used. One is a textured leather the other is smooth like the one in the photograph. I think part of their success is they have their own store. Which makes the exclusive and coveted. Pricing begins at $300 plus. It's with it! Just the soft feel of the leather in your hands makes you feel as important as the person you are. Sold only at Coach stores!

Part 2 will be posted tomorrow. Please stay tone. I know this might be early, however I'd like to wish all you future dad's and all those that are exhibiting dads.

Happy Father's Day!

Is It Time To Check Your Business?

Meeting Security Heats Up


Hi there, Readers;

If you are a meeting an event planner thank you for following or reading my blog. If your just enjoying my post also thank you. This one may or may not apply to you. This blog is for those of us in the industry.

If you remember back to the September 11, 2001 and everything that happened. Security was a big issue. I just read an article in Smart Meeting that Meeting Security is Heating Up. It's that time for our industry to make sure our security measures are in place. The article goes into greater detail and weeks industry professions have to make sure we know what we are doing.

1. Check what is written in your mission statement and business plan about security. Is it still in place? If not make sure it's back in place.

2. First Aide Make all those responsible for public safety to have taken classes. Make sure the first Aide kit is in place with appropriate supplies in case of emergency. This is different than a disaster kit. Make sure that is up to date and not expired.

3. Each business is suppose to have a plan in place against terrorism. Is yours in place?

4. Make sure you know the difference between Safety verses Security.

5. If you don't know what is right for your business call a.) Fire Department b.) Police Department for a volunteery inspection. It's better that you call then be fined or someone get hurt and your businesses is out of compliance. There is also c.) You can hire a professional consultany to do both. Just make sure they have the proper credentials.

6. Make sure you follow through on any recommendations they might have for you.

If it's back in the news for meting and Event planners, it's back to being important for your business.

Rate Change

Hi  there, Reader;

You know I believe in our truth as business. Due to the full disclosure I have to pass my cost of doing business onto the consumers. Yea, it is unfortunate however true. The following changes apply affective March 17, 2017.

All foreign countries toll calls will be charged at rate $3.00 a minute. What this means if you want to call MK Pure Diamond Events and vent about your new mother in law, or your bad marriage for 20 minutes the cost would be a cost of $60.00. If I where to make a profit on this I would have to change you more.  Text messages will be at a rate of .50 per minute. No worries however in an however, if your text message is filled with a hundred words than the cost of doing business in that text is $50.00 for example.  I might get picture messages will cost $1.30 per picture, photograph or video. and you send me 10 photographs, 15 pictures and one video I will be changing you per frame that I have to review.  Data is a little higher than most at a rate of $2.05 for information. Anyone seeking information will be charged at a rate of $2.05 for each information I have to relay, the cost of this is approximately $110.00.

I understand this is a little difficult for you that I can no longer give you a bid for you meeting, event, wedding for free. I tried telling you that all things must STOP, however others insisted on their way, therefore I must pass on the cost of doing business to my customers and clients.  I regret and sorrow that this has happened however, you know I must take responsibility for my business as you must for your decisions.

I like, you am in the business of doing what is right for my business and therefore you must understand I am saddened by this change in the ways we must communicate. Therefore, I will leave emails free for now.  I am sure as a consumer of MK Pure Diamond Events Meeting and Event Planning services or Maria Kamon (c)TM Photography you understand the responsibility of doing business and how not only I have to pass the debt to consumers, so does big business. Therefore, now that you have read this full disclosure you understand the importance of the blogpost.I believe in full disclaimer when ever posible.
 With this please be aware MK Pure Diamond Events has changed their rates.

How Do I Choose My Wedding Ring?

How Do I Choose My Wedding Ring?

Hi there, Reader;

I have to tell you this question took me by surprise. I tried to think back to how my husband and I choose wedding rings and then thought to myself, there wasn't any scientific or practical way. We just did.  I can make some suggestions.

As I researched men's wedding rings I discovered things I didn't know. Some men like their animal known and wear that as a wedding ring. Others prefer just a band of gold. Whatever your taste in wedding rings it is something one should discuss with the bride to become your wife.

Items you might want to talk about:

1. Diamond or No Diamonds, Gem Stones
2. Platinum, gold, white gold, silver, black, medals or no medals
3. Size
4. Do you want it to be a surprise or not?
5. What do you value most.

I know and understand that woman....I assure you we know what you think woman want. After all, she is the one you choose for marriage. You have to let her in at some point. If your the type of guy that doesn't want to wear a wedding ring. Maybe, you're the type of guy that knows even though you own a wedding ring you will won't keep the commitment. Then, be honest before you get married. It might be a deal breaker for her. If you are mature enough to commit to marriage your mature enough to tell her your truth.

If your truth is unacceptable to her. Then she is mature enough to accept the unacceptable. Meaning, it's better to walk away then to commit to someone and think you can change them. You have to know, love, understand what it is your getting into before you commit. The thing is that most people look at marriage as just between the couple. It is at first. Then you have children and it involves a who lot of people. The wedding planning processes involves a whole lot of people. Therefore, no secrets means it's best to talk, before your secrets are made public.

For men who need to hear it from another man.

You both need to talk about it. Decide together and proceed to the future together.

Best Wishes to the Bride! Congratulations to the Groom!

Unemployment !

Hi there, Reader;

As many of you know and understand since 2003 I have owned a meeting and Event company. However, since I'm a single mom, who has elderly people to watch over. Life isn't always easy.  This is not a woo is me blog or feel sorry for me it's my reality. This is the second time in this time that I have been unemployed. I have always had to have two employments and continue my education in the ever fast changing event world. As technology changes so does the way people interact with one another.

I am highly impressed with what unemployment is trying to do for its people. I know it sounds silly or ridiculous that I would be impressed with a government institutions with all that is happening in the world. What is talked about. The North County San Diego office is very good at helping it's people. From the little things like getting your resume online to making sure you recieve your card from Bank America to get paid. Here is what also expressed me, they cared enough to ask me since I was unemployed did I have enough to eat. More than my friends of many years have asked. When hard times hit, that's when one knows who a friend and who was just there for the good times. Good wife, right?

I hope you never have to experience what I have as a woman business owner. With technology being everywhere the world changed and it changed the lives of many. If your one of those who followed my family and I then you know some of our struggles. Like many Americans the reality of aging parents, teenagers, college students and the ever changing high expectations of self sufficientcy we place on our youth. It's nice to know, there are still a few agency were we can get assistance when we need it.

First you can get your computer skills checked by several agencies that will certify you for typing skills some are for a fee and some are free. Once certified you wil know which ones you qualify for. I'll write a list below.

Second : Are you hungry? Apply for what use to be food stamps is now called CalFresh. There are workshops you can attend every Monday.

Third: you have to establish identity. Citizensship and employment to recieve unemployment. US Passport or US Card. The list is lengthy.

Fourth: Register with North County Career Center for resume writing, employment search and motivation.

Fifth: iI also have a list of agencies you can contact if you need help.

Sixth: Apply for employment or to enhance your job search with www.caljobs.ca.gov.

I'll have all of this posted for you in the next day or so. Til then, get ready...the goal in life is to live a Happy, healthy, productive life.

What is required?

Hi there , Reader;

I sometimes think of the difficulties of being a man in today's world. what is expected? What is required? My profession deals with a lot of young people making life changing decisions and what I have discovered is that it is is scary thing to wed. 

What is required?

1. Do what is right? What is that anyway? It means that as a young man you would have to do your best to provide for yourself and anyone else who you may bring into the world. Therefore you are required to provide for them,

2. Press on. Press on for the goals of which he created you for. This means that you keep achieving what is for you. You plan what is right for you and keep going towards that goal.

3. FIght the Good fight. You don't  have to fight everyone else's fight you have to fight yours. May your success known to those that love you. Also tell them why you are succeeding and part of it should be because you love them.

4. In the bible there are several goals before a young man and since biblically a woman isn't suppose to preach to men I will jus teeth you look those up. The main part is to know the difference between the world and what he wants for you. 

5. The wife of your youth might not be the one you married therefore, you should know the difference and know that one might not love the other, however they might therefore it is up to you if they meet or not,

That's the best advice I can give you at this moment. Consider your choices and seek counsel if you don't know what is right. 

Let's Talk Tavel

Hi there, Reader;

Kate Spade

I am so excited to share this one with you that I will be posting this on all four of my blogs. It is the best there is for Honeymoon or Vacation.  Have you ever heard of getting paid for travel? I had not heard of it either until I read and saw this video from Time Magazine and Money Magazine. Sounds like a great way to save money and start planning a honeymoon to be remembered. Yes, there are couple who sometimes what to forget their honeymoon because it was ill planned. I confess to all of you I loved my honeymoon and all the little surprises my groom planned for us. It just wasn't long enough because work changed the start dates and called him.

Here are my suggestions.

1. Let your supervisor know that you are requesting time off.  Not early, nor late, each work handbook has the number of days you are suppose to submit the paperwork so do it at the appropriate time. I have heard of workers.

2. Don't tell them you are getting married if you are planning a small wedding and not inviting them. If you have to submit a reason why. The put small intimate wedding. It may or may not create hurt feelings in the workplace. It's the same mentality as when your a child and someone doesn't get invited to the birthday party.

3. Take the time to learn the interest of your wife/husband before you plan the wedding. Don't take them to the middle of Africa to camp if they are all about loving city life. It doesn't mean you can't plan a trip like that latter. It is just not advisable for your honeymoon.

4. Know how much your going to spend and then if possible double it. We all have shopping moments Plus when traveling it is better to have too much money rather than too little. Isn't that true about life.

5. Enjoy your honey...It should be a time to better get to know each other. Make future plans. Talk about nothing and talk about everything before the big responsibilities set in. What is that responsibility? You've lived together and dated for a while. Maybe, you don't live together... It's called life and daily living.

This is a disclaimer, although I am registered travel agent, I am not receiving any money at this time from these companies for writing about their magazine and video link,

The article from Money Magazine reads like this.

How is Your Phone Doing?

Hi there, Reader:

I have to tell you I don't want to mislead anyone by this blog, however I am learning a little about technology. I know enough to realize it is an industry so advanced in thinking that I don't totally understand all of it. That is the point of this blog. I am not savvy enough to understand how this thing works, however I am smart enough learn from others.

I first heard of this product from a young woman named Justin on You Tube. She is such a smart young lady, I watch her video to see what the latest is. She understood about the drones or is it drones and what happened and I am impressed she has the voice to tell others.

She titled it "My Favorite Christmas Gift".

I just got back from Best Buy and discovered it is not on sale there yet. However, I started thinking about the principle of a tanning bed. I know it was originally designed for however there are draw backs to tanning beds. It used to turn the skin orange. They affected nutrition in the human body and made people appear different than what they normally looked. Now I know no-one is an IPhone or are they? Non-the-less what will the long term affects of the product do for the phone. I do believe it can be used with any product, however I am not certain. Learn and educate yourselves before using.

I do love the idea of having something to sanitize my phone and I use the ultra violet red light in stores as often as possible such as target. I read that it also kills germs. I also use a sanitizes on the phone to wipe it down. I thought it was enough. Now that I have read about this product and understand the importance of it, I am all for an item that keeps a human healthy, happy and well fed. Too bad it doessn't fix dinner for my iphone and serve it too.
