Roses are Red. Violets are Blue...

By KaLu - Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

There's a poem that always comes to mind that I would recite as a little girl and sometimes still do: "Roses are red. Violets are blue. Sugar is sweet and so are you!" It is very simple and cute  but carries a profound meaning. Then as I look at these beautifully created tulips I think of God's amazing creation and love. He created each and everyone of us so unique and differently, with a purpose to always shine in this world. I decided to quit my job and it has all been very bittersweet. I'll be honest it's the people I will miss but I know that my decision is the best because God has already opened doors for me. I am about to embark on a new career world and I need to be brave. These past two weeks many have made it a point to share with me, before I leave, how happy and excited they are for me, and that means the world to me. They have also shared how much of an influence I have been to them when sometimes all I would do is smile and greet them very quickly. I'm glad that I have been that ray of sunshine, a gift that God has given me. And because He lives in me I live.

Time to follow my passion, my dreams and reach for the stars!

Dream

As a little girl I dream of becoming a Nurse; I clearly recall drawing myself in a white uniform. As a freshman in college I looked into becoming a Marine Biologist, Pediatrician and Accountant (just to name a few) but that didn't happen, although it's not too late yet. Maybe your dreams were similar to mine or have changed with age and time. Maybe you are still working on making your dream come true. Whether it's a career, a job, a business, an idea, buying a home or a car, marriage, finding your soul mate, starting a family, etc. I am here to remind you that even though dreams may fluctuate should always keep believing that God can make the impossible...possible. Always reach for the skies, making history, leaving a mark of success every day. Like this beautifully engraved sandstone adornment, given to me by my bff, says: "Don't dream your life, DREAM...live your dream."

Until next post.

Souther California: Places to Visit

Photoshoots are always enjoyable because they are premeditated visions that come to life, and the outcome feeling is ‘oh so rewarding.’ However, the random photographs that we (at KaLu) take of the places we visit, allows us to capture the essence of why we decided to visit in the first place. Today I am showing you a few landmarks and cities I would encourage you to visit if you live or are visiting Southern California.

Somis, CA - Highway 34

Los Angeles River
