Quote
"One of the most important of life´s lessons is to learn independence, to understand freedom. This means independence from attachments, from results, from opinions, and from expectations. Breaking attachments leads to freedom, but breaking attachments does not mean abandoning a loving and meaningful relationship, a relationship that nourishes your soul. It means ending dependency on any person or thing. Love is never a dependency."

Brian Weiss

Happy Independence Day!

Meet TheAllisonRose

My love, passion and obsession is photography. I currently live in Santa Barbara, CA where I am pursuing my degree in photography at Brooks Institute.

Laughter truly is the best medicine, which is why at any given moment you could find me laughing at myself.

Some of my favorite companions in my free time are friends, wine, cheese and cupcakes.

I consider helping others an opportunity to learn for free.

I think unemployment is a period between successes. And even when things don’t make sense, I believe there is a reason.

Thanks for being part of my journey… Allison
