Welcome to my journey. Walk with me as I take the leap. I hope to encourage you and inspire you in some way. I’m here to wave the banner of HOPE.

Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Hi, I’m Brittany W Rivers

I guess you could say I’m new on the scene…

Coming from the shadows of the background, I’m now here to share parts of my heart and passion with you in the ways I feel God is leading me to. Whether that’s through an inspirational message, a devotional on my heart, or just expressing pieces of who I am. My purpose is to spread hope, light, and inspiration in whichever capacity I am graced to you.

So, I welcome you to come along with me on my journey.

Let’s both truly taste and see that the Lord is good Psalm 34:8. (That’s my favorite scripture, if you haven’t already guessed :)

Thank you for being here! I want to learn more about you and what brought you here. Feel free to contact me.

My Heart For Simply Embrace

God birthed within me a passion to start this mission back in 2011. I honestly didn't know what I was doing. I was in college and began creating jewelry and accessories. Originally, "Beautifully-Made" was the brand name behind my handmade creations. I dabbled in and out of this hobby off and on for a few years. However, in 2014, I felt a change. I believed I was given a name change from "Beautifully-Made" to "Simply Embrace".

This was during a time when I was searching and exploring who I was and the potential of who I could become. God literally gave me the name. There was no way I could have come up with it on my own. I continued making jewelry and accessories on and off for years. There were both short and long gaps in between.

To make this story a little simpler and shorter, I felt a pulling in 2019 for something more. During that time, I felt purposeless. I prayed and God brought me back to Simply Embrace, after a very long period of me laying it down. I picked it back up, but this time as a women's boutique and an inspirational blog. I fell in love with expressing and sharing inspiration, insights, and encouragement in written form.

Well, I put it down again after a short period. In 2022, I made a vow within my heart that I would never pick Simply Embrace back up again. I was truly done. This was during a time in my life when I was experiencing a sudden low and fell into what seemed like a dark pit in life through loss of identity, postpartum, and what I ultimately believe to be an attack on not just me, but the purpose put within me.

But God.

Now here in 2025, Simply Embrace emerges again...but in a new light. The same mission, but now with more passion and much more heart. A heart to help inspire others experiencing challenges. A heart to allow others to share great testimonies and victories within their own personal stories.
