I got COVID-19! Now what?
More and more people are contracting Covid-19 and being tasked with how to deal with the virus that has plagued the globe for a year now. The virus is characterized by a wide variety of symptoms, and still, so much is unknown of its long-term effects. This is why documenting and sharing your experience is important.

My Dream Job Has Always Been "Rockstar"
I Can Stop At Any Time I can either stop, and avoid a challenge, or find a way to climb that wall. And if I can't climb it, I can do everything in my power to go around it, dig under it, or maybe even plough right through.

Personal brushes with death
Please believe that I was supposed to be having my date with Destiny and meet a tragic fate many times over. These are just the times that I can recollect and/or was more or less informed of by others with first hand knowledge of the situations.

What is your desire?
I have been questioned a lot lately as to what I am. It is not hard for me to describe or talk about, but it seems hard for some to wrap their brains around.

Waiting on Results
I like to think that I am a fairly optimistic person. Things are not always glitter & unicorns, but I believe my life to be pretty magical! I could not be more blessed. Period! The husband, the family (including the very loved & missed, girls), and the friends that He has provided me, they are all one-of-a-kind & I love them all so very much!

Religious Rights
When someone strongly believes in something most would do whatever they can to make it happen. Many people believe so strongly towards something they don't think of what others might feel. Maybe not because they are selfish or trying to be rude but because they think it's best for everyone. We all have an opinion on practically everything, we chose our sides and we stick to it. We may not listen to what others have to say about it, but does that mean that we should make everyone else do what we think is right. We are all 325.7 million individuals not just one who thinks the same and agrees on everything, that's 325.7 million individual minds that have different ideas and beliefs. If a group of people don't believe in getting and abortion don't get one, if people don't believe in getting a tattoo dont get one, if you don't believe in being with the same genders then don't date the same gender, but don't keep others from being happy and doing what they love so we can feel better.

Saving Lives in the Only Way I Can
Early on in this pandemic, I read an article about how blood donations are lower than ever. We were in a blood crisis. Doctors and nurses were low on PPE, staff, and now blood? People died from COVID-19, and people were dying because no one was donating blood due to the shutdown. It frustrated me to no end, because those were more lives lost than there needed to be.

The Secret Helper
Do you remember the shoemaker and the elves' story? Well, I heard someone in the family share this good deed, which made me think of the story because the same deed I'm going to share with you is very similar to the story of the shoemaker and the elves'.

A Personal Prelude
Hey world, my name is Kayla Adams. I am a current Asheville, NC local, running enthusiast, dog mom, better half to an amazing and even better person, daughter, sister, grand-daughter, friend, and much more. While blessed to play so many different roles in life, I also have one heck of a story to tell. So if you have a spare moment to listen, I would like to tell you my story and show how each of my roles has impacted how I got to where I am today and why I am deciding to tell my story now.

Give Freely
I guess as a starting point I should tell you about the little girl that didn’t have. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe. My parents left me and my older brother with my aunt and grandma when I was only a few months old to go and try to find a better life in South Africa. Whilst my childhood was happy in the sense that, well, I was a child who didn’t know any better. That meant that I saw no problem with going to school hungry, sleeping outside even when it was pouring down rain and going for days with just one meal. I grew up very poor. I know exactly what it feels like to go hungry. I knew from a very young age what it’s like to be homeless, to be riddled with malnutrition and just have absolutely nothing. While I was a happy child who played outside and just enjoyed childhood, it wasn’t long until I caught on and realised that I didn’t have anything that my friends had. Even food.
