Next Steps in November
Hi there CiggyChat readers! It has been a minute since we talked and there has been so much going on but the big thing to share is that November is here and it is bringing next steps! A few months back I attended a conference called Flourish…you can refer to my post about it Flourishing. And learn more about the next one in 2019 here. Part of that conference required us to think of our next steps and they didn’t have to be these Earth-shattering giant steps but steps that can start us on to our God-given purpose and plan. I did a small few things at that time but was…

4 Things that Get Me through the Journey
The dreamer’s journey and well the journey of life is not an easy one. There are many roadblocks, detours, and unpaved roads along the way that can easily throw one for a loop. I wish I could tell you that none of it bothers me or I don’t react to it but that would be a complete and utter lie. So here are a few things that I use to make it through this journey of life as I work to accomplish and tackle my many, many dreams. 1. First and foremost, God! I am a Christian and proud of it. My faith is something that truly anchors me and…

Two Weeks Later…
Hi there CiggyChat Readers! I apologize for being MIA these past 2 weeks. I went out of town to visit family that I have not seen in 2 years and in the midst of that trip I got sick. Truth be told, I am still a bit sick but definitely better than when I started. So in these past 2 weeks, I had a chance to be with family and rest “doctor’s orders”. Though I hate being sick I am grateful for this time as it kind of forced me to slow down and think about what’s important and try to get my head back into this dreamer’s journey of…

Balance & Priorities
Personally and professionally I’ve been struggling with this topic of finding the right balance and prioritizing what when. In this day and age with social media and instant gratification everything appears to be a priority. Whatever is asked is expected to be simply answered or made top priority but how does one do that when they are pulled in several different areas. My specific work is unique where I live where I work so it’s often a fine line of balancing my business day versus my personal time. The worlds blend as I often may socialize with my colleagues and more often than not I’ll respond or work on “work…

Day by Day
Last week I mentioned that something big is coming and it is definitely upon us. Though I can’t speak about all that is going on because it isn’t my news to share I can tell you that dreams are being realized and things are definitely coming into reality. In this happening I have been smiling ear to ear because wonderful things are happening all around me. In this idea of dreams coming true or happening it is not the fairy tale ending that we used to read of …happily ever after. No my friend, the moment when your dreams start coming true you are in it. You are actually living…

Something Big
Every so often I get this feeling that something big is coming. It is typically not about me but in this moment something is in the air and I feel something big is coming. I have no absolute clue exactly hat is about to happen. Yet in my mind, I think it is going to be positive and about some serious breakthroughs or new developments for those around me. I promise I have no psychic abilities that I know of but there is this overwhelming energy around me about this. This is a short post but one I felt like sharing because this feeling, at least to me, is part…

Day 3 – Race to Keep Up
Of what you may ask? Not another blogging challenge but of this academic semester. That is right…this is a Rena in Reslife report. We have simply rolled straight from training, into opening, into the school year and it is moving at 80+ miles an hour. Ideally you like to believe that once the school year starts you can be in a routine and in the swing of things but in all honesty I still feel like I am playing catch up with all the things from the past month. And new things are coming daily sometimes a new event, crisis, or dilemma every other hour. Life should and must go…

Almost there

Not quite finished…
A few days ago, I posted about not being satisfied meaning not accepting the status quo. Today’s post is similar but different. I’ve been in work mode, activities, and training of my team from about 7:15AM till maybe 30 minutes ago and friends I’m not quite finished yet. (I took a break to shower but still haven’t eaten yet.) In order to go into tomorrow there are still a few more things I need to tackle. Emails to review. To do lists and tasks to prepare and assign and something else I’m surely forgetting. Those are just the bare minimum. In order to do the things I really want to…
