Guys!!! The other day I just randomly screamed omg it’s my anniversary. My entire household looked at me like I was losing my mind! I wasn’t but the date suddenly hit me in my chest and like an avalanche everything that I’ve lost and gained over the last decade hit me like a ton of bricks.
Join me as over the next 10 days I share my experience of celebrating 10 years in the UK…The good, the bad and the Godly!
What would make me start over at 28?
In this photo you see a young black woman, stylish in her own right, wearing a smile, three months pregnant, standing on a street in London.
What you don’t see in this photo is the woman who condensed her 28 years of living in two suitcases and a handbag and move to the UK 7 days prior to this photo. The woman who was told sorry we can’t help you it looks like you’re having a miscarriage 6 days before. The woman who left her job, home, comfort and 8 year old daughter behind on a tiny island called Montserrat to explore England. The big city, the “mother-land to her tiny land” to see who she could become in a place where she was and still sometimes is just treated like a number.
That woman is me, Kamille! If this is your first time reading my blog welcome to my side of the internet! I hope this blog brings you inspiration!
Day One
I grew up on the volcanic island of Montserrat in the Caribbean. Even after enduring years of uncertainty and trauma, my family remained on the island. That resilience that I built from childhood into adulthood is something I still carry with me. I was contented. I had a job, one child at the time and I was looking for my next: build a house and elevate.
But something shifted inside of me and I wanted more. I wasn’t quite sure what that would look like, but there had to be more than going to work, home, church and repeat. I was still shaky with my walk with JC…Jesus Christ; but one day in my rented apartment I simply said ” God take me out of this” One month later I had resigned from my job, packed up my life giving things away that I spent the last five years acquiring, sold my car and bought a plane ticket for the UK.
I’ll stay at least 5 years I said! I’ll do my degree and return to Montserrat thereafter. It’s now been 10 years! To the person reading this who is in the valley of decision, take the risk. Pray and move into your next with God as your guide.
Closing thought: The journey ahead may be tough but you’ve got everything you need inside you to succeed…go through!
See you tomorrow for the next picture and insight into my 10 year journey
Besos 😘
