Welcome :)

Hello dear reader, welcome to a breath of fresh air.

This is a blog website platform, whereby we will cover all things Faith, beauty, lifestyle, health, wellness and all that good stuff! I’m really excited about this space and I appreciate that you are willing to be part of the journey with me. I hope your time here will be worthwhile. Let me give a brief introduction of who I am and how this blog idea came about.

My name is Bertina Kambe, I am 22 years old. There are so many things I love, but in summary, I love Jesus, making people laugh and minding my business. I also love to write, tell stories, listen to people and do my best to see the world through their eyes.

This blog idea came about in a time of my life when I was going through some major transitions. We were still in the middle of a pandemic, I was transitioning out of numerous spaces, I wasn’t sure of what I was going to do next, but I was operating by faith that what God had in store for me was better than what I had even then.

I understand that we were all stressed out, we lost people, our jobs, homes and even how our lives were before, now we had no choice but to let go of all we knew and embrace the unknown. I don't know if it's just me, but this caused people to go a little crazy, because the internet, especially social media became so toxic. With all the cancel culture and nitpicking that was going on, the last thing I had in mind was to put myself out there, even though it wasn't happening to me directly.

In addition to transitioning, I was also healing from a lot of experiences in the past, and I had disappeared from many spaces. I wasn’t going out much for obvious reasons, but I also wasn’t sharing much virtually. I was staying very low-key. I had grown, changed and evolved so much that I wasn’t sure how and if people would accept this version of myself, especially since I myself was trying to accept this new me. It’s like I was in a place whereby I couldn’t go back to my past self, I had outgrown her, but I couldn’t live as this new evolved self, cause I didn’t know how. She intimidated me, I was scared of her.

But I realized that the only way I was to walk into all that God had prepared for me to do, including this space, was to let go of the old, and fully embrace the new. To just have deep trust and bold faith, enough to believe that if I allow myself to be led by faith, and not what I see and just jump, God’s hands would catch me and we would figure out this thing together.

So here I am, with this new, fresh idea, wrapped in a blog, to create a space for people to just come and breathe, escape from the stresses of life. To laugh, cry, be inspired, edified, learn a thing or two and be ready to conquer what’s in front of them. I want you to come here and feel safe, I want you to get to hear and know what I wish I knew when I was in a similar position as you are, whatever that may be.

I didn’t know the first thing about creating a website, or blogging. I just had direction from God and the internet (thanks Google & YouTube! hehe) so I did my research, created the website...

Aaaaaand here we are. I'm just taking it one day at a time, enjoying the ride and learning as much as I can. This is new territory and I don't know where it will lead and I don't have the full picture, but I'm here and I'm appreciating the now for what it is.

I'd like to encourage you to embrace the new and honor that nudging in your spirit, that's telling you it's time for a shift, the one that's telling you to execute that idea or start that thing. If you were looking for confirmation, here it is! hehe!

Don't sit on your gifts, talents, vision and ideas. You may feel like you aren't enough well, God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. You may feel you don't know enough, You can learn. You may be scared of what people would say, but at the end of the day you're the one who will live in regret and in a 'what if' state, and the people you're so concerned about probably don't care as much as you think. ;)

Also, if you feel like you are in the middle of evolving, growth or change and its confusing, intimidating and scary, i've been there and that's ok. Take it one day at a time and be kind to yourself, you've never been this version of you and it's going to take some time to fully embody your evolved self. Let go of the past, even your past self. When you do, you'll be amazed by the new opportunities and experiences waiting for you ahead.

Anywhoo, that's all I have to share for this week. Feel free to leave a comment down below, shoot me a dm or email and let me know what you think and if this has impacted you in any way.

I appreciate you being here! :)

xoxo!

BK.
