It is her compassion for connecting individuals and families with both professional and spiritual guidance that makes her uniquely gifted and qualified to serve in this capacity.

Kala Wetzel is the publisher of Bradshaw Lake Living and Best Version Media. It can be described as a fun community led magazine that goes to the homeowners of the Bradshaw Farm area, right here in Holly Springs. Bringing the community together is a passion of Kala’s and she loves that she has the opportunity to meet new people every day.
Every month we meet with a new family, smack ’em on the cover, and tell the community their story. It could range anywhere from that soldier that just came home from overseas, to the high school grad who just received a full ride to a big college. Everyone has a story and if you’re willing to tell it, we’re willing to share it.
This magazine is unique as it gives local businesses the opportunity to have a voice. Unlike traditional magazines that give companies ad space and *fingers crossed* hope they do well, we find experts in the field, and allow them to write educational material regarding their nature of business. Who doesn’t love free education? This also gives our community a chance to learn who our local business leaders are. Remember, we are more likely to do business with those we know!
