• Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 6

    Question 6: What do you not want anybody else to know about you?This going to be a rather short post because the question implies that the answer is a well-kept secret and if I just wrote it all out here well everybody would know. According to my view counts at the moment, barely anyone is actually reading my blog at the moment (for any readers, I apologize as you are someone, and thanks for tuning in). I point this out because one may say hey no one is reading so this is a safe space…yet this is still very much the internet. But what I don’t want you to know…

  • Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 5

    Question 5: Whom do you admire most, and why? There are many people that come to mind, however the person that I call my sister is one that comes to my mind in this response. She is not a blood sister but someone that has welcomed me into her life from the very beginning despite me potentially being a bothersome. She is strong, talented, hard-working, smart, resourceful, beautiful inside and out, definitely a daughter of God, and someone that I am lucky to call my mentor. She is genuine and will tell me the truth not just want I hear, but what I need to hear and she is very…

  • Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 4

    Question 4: Based on your daily routines, where will you be in five years? Ten? Twenty?Wowza…this question really has me thinking….In 5 Years…Based on what I’m doing at this point in my life I believe that the next few years are definitely going to take me on a different course. In my current daily routine, I’m intentionally switching it up as I am not a fan of the same old…so within 5 years…I plan to be much more organized with what I am doing and having my priorities in line in regards to what I am focusing on.I hope to be in the midst of enjoying my career and work…

  • Journal Prompt:16 Questions – Question 3 Redo

    To any of my readers that may have seen this post since Saturday evening, please let me apologize for submitting such a naked post. I’ve submitted short posts in the past but due to technical difficulties with my mobile device and app the full piece that I typed did not save or submit.I’ve had this happen before so this must mean that I really must be at the computer when trying to update this blog. Hopefully after this occurrence I will finally learn from my errors and trusting of this modern technology.Question 3: What would you do if you knew that nobody would judge you? In responding to question 2,…

  • Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 2

    Question 2: What would you stand for if you knew that nobody would judge you? This is a powerful question and one that I am trying to understand how to answer.  It appears that this is asking what I would represent or defend without care of judgement.  Honestly, I am struggling to answer that question, I believe that I would go after a lot of things or dreams if there was no judgement.  For example, I love to sing but I’m no singer but I would do that hands down if I had no one judging me. I believe this question is asking me to go deeper and I am…

  • No Post from June 6, 2018

    This is officially Post 35 and it did not come yesterday as I had an eventful day.  So this post is essentially me sharing the reason for no post yesterday. I had a networking event and talk that I went to in the morning that was really informative and there was swag and a free great brunch (always a positive). Following that was a lunch where I was able to catch up with my sister for a moment before heading back to an afternoon of intentional work in my office. In the midst of the afternoon, I found out that God was hearing my prayers and my close family member…

  • Journal Prompt: 16 Questions – Question 1

    This particular journal prompt comes from a list of questions (16 to be exact) that helps to define who you are. It comes from a collection of essays put together by Brianna Wiest: To learn more check out info here. I’ve been told by a good friend that it is a great read and it is on my to read list but I would like to do my best and try to answer them within this blog over multiple posts so here goes nothing: Question 1: What, and who, is worth suffering for? Great question (she says as she bides for time to think of her answer/response) but seriously it…

  • No Control

    For post 33 of a hundred, I am deviating from the Journal prompts to talk about a lack of control. Life is a wondrous and crazy thing all at the same time. It’s funny as you work to get control over some areas of your life it happens to be at that precise moment when other things happen that you have no power over (with the exception of praying).  This morning I heard about two things I have no control over dealing with matters of my heart. For those that know me…I have a big heart and I wear it on my sleeve and am connected to so much but…

  • Journal Prompt – Someone that Inspires You

Until next time,  I’m CiggyG  💚

  • Journal Prompt-Resilience

    Today the journal prompt that I received is all about resiliency – the specific question I received is about advice I would give to my younger self in regards to sticking through hardships. It’s funny because I think my younger self would be great at giving me a pep talk in my current state in this arena. As a child I felt that I constantly persevered and I refused to quit something once I started it. It could have been that I was a bit stubborn too but honestly she kept going no matter what.  I think the one word I could have told her is to be resilient and…
