Welcome!

Hello there!  I am so happy you found me!  My name is Kayla, to certain people Kona, feel free to call me whatever you like!  I'm just stoked you're here :) So, you're probably wondering what this blog is about, well, it's about life; the nitty gritty, the easy fluff stuff, the everyday banal.  We'll cover it all.  So, if you want to talk existential theory, the Kardashians, or about looking for a new job, it's all going to be here.  I promise you.  There's some stuff in the works for my life, details to come later, I promise, but for now, we're going to start simple!

So, you may be wondering, who is this, Kayla, Kona, person?  Well, I am in my mid-twenties, going into late-twenties(when did THAT happen????), living in Washington with my husband, Jordan, and my kiddos, Daisy and Toasty.  Wait, what?  Who names their kid Toasty?  I did, cuz he's a cat.  That's right, I'm a fur mom.  I'm one of those crazy people that considers my pets my children.  They are the loves of my life, even my husband knows he comes second to them, and I would do anything for them.  In all honesty, I've always been more of a dog person than a people person, so my Daisy really is like my child.  Toasty, well, he's a cat, so he can only be so much like a child, but I still think of him as my child.  Believe me, you'll get to know my fur kids plenty as time goes on!  So, what else do I deem important enough to tell you today?  Let's see?  I have a few people that are my idols/heroes, and I think they'll give you some insight into my personality, so, Davidjii(a meditation guru), Jason Silva(public speaker? Maybe?  I don't really know what he classifies himself as, but he's the host of Brain Games), and Audrey Hepburn(please tell me you know who that is!).  So you're probably thinking, "Wow, that's kind of all across the board", and you're right.  I am a very unique person, everyone that knows me, tells me that.  I don't fit into any one box.  Just when you think you have me pegged for something, BAM, I say something that throws it out the window.  Overall though, I'm just a very introspective person.  I like to work on myself, find the things that make my heart and soul happy, and do those things, believe those things, think those things, etc.

If you want to get to know me a little more, just stick around, I promise, we'll get to good stuff.  There's a lot that happens in my crazy life, and the funny thing is, most of the time, I think my life is boring, until I look back on something and think "Dang girl!  You done gone through a lot!"  Oh, that's another thing, I'm not from the south, but I do so y'all and other southern euphemisms sometimes, deal with it!  So!  Final note of who I am, I'll give you a smidgeon more, this is from my Instagram bio, I love Halloween(though Thanksgiving might be edging it out), and fall.  I am a Starbucks-aholic, no joke!  I need help.  Anyone that remotely knows ANYTHING about me knows that my love for Starbucks is never ending lol.  Also, I'm a gypsy/warrior soul.  I have my hippie tendencies, but I'm definitely not a hippie like you're probably thinking.  I don't wear crazy clothes or live on a commune, nothing like that!  But I do like green products, I try to buy organic, I like to buy cruelty free, etc.  Now, the warrior soul part of that, well, that's more personal.  I'm a warrior folks.  I've gone through a lot, a lot of it self inflicted, but I fight my way out every time. So, I consider myself a warrior, and when I feel comfortable, I'll open up more on that.  Also, I'm a huge soccer fan, national team and MLS.  DO NOT talk to me about football, nuh uh, this is a FUTBOL zone, not football.  I don't care about anything NFL.  Also, random segue, but speaking of futbol, I have a wicked good British accent, hehe.  People say it's creepy when I do it because it legitimately sounds like I've lived in England my whole life.

So, that's about all for now.  This was just to say hey, introduce myself, and yeah!  We'll get to know each other better later!  So for now, I'll wish you the most pleasant of evenings, or mornings, whatever you're on, and until next time...

xoxo
Kayla
