Decisions: How to Choose & Its Impact
Hi there dreamers, Believe it or not I started this post at the beginning of the month and I am just now getting to finish it. It was going to start with me highlighting this bible study I read that seemed relevant to my topic at hand: “A few years ago I did this women’s bible study entitled “The Best Yes” by Lysa Terkeurst. It was a great study and I remember enjoying it at the time.” and then I was going to discuss the big choice or decision I had to make at the time: “However this month I had to make a choice a decision if you will…

Love…
So this is the month of love. Happy Belated Valentine‘s Day! The other day I had a strong desire to write about love. Like a strong feeling came over me as I was in traffic on my way home to write about love. Love from God (Agape). Love we have for others (Storge, Philios, or Eros). Love we have for our dreams. Love we have for our favorite things. Love is everywhere and in everything. Though I don’t get to write too often, I love writing and I love the fact that I am blessed to have a platform like this to do it in. I love that people (fellow…

Happy New Year!!
Hi Fellow Dreamers!! Pardon the late post but I did want to say Happy New Year to my readers and fellow dreamers! This New Year has been an interesting one. I feel as if I have a God-peace within me right now though there are quite a few things up in the air that would normally make me a freaked out Ciggy! I haven’t quite made real resolutions yet but there are a few goals and things I am hoping for in 2020: Spending time with God more: I am a Christian and honestly need to make sure that I am connecting with Him on the daily and often to…

Happy September!
Hi there fellow dreamers! It has been a moment since I caught up with y’all…actually over a month. This past month has been quite restful, productive and transformative. For those that follow you may know that I am also “Rena in Reslife.” Well nearly 4 months ago I transitioned my career and though I am still “Rena in Reslife” it is a completely different setting. In my previous role August would be one of my busiest seasons where as this past August I actually started the month off with a vacation! It was great and surreal. I took a much needed girls trip on a cruise to the Bahamas! It…

New Phase of the Journey
Hi fellow journeyers! It has been a minute since I wrote here. I have been preparing and praying for my next phase and well God is ushering me into it right now. This month is my birthday month and well I have come into the next decade which is already a major new phase all on its own. Basically within the same week, my “off campus” apartment has been solidified and I got a job offer outside of the college campus that starts next week! This came earlier than I anticipated but I am so grateful for what God is about to do. It is His will not mine that is…

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…

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…

Tired
It’s been a busy few days and I thank God for getting me through them so far. I have more to get through but I’m also grateful for the moments of rest He’s given me as I’m exhausted! Until next time, I am an exhausted Ciggy! Post 94 out of 100 #the100dayproject

Living in the Moment
Full disclosure I absolutely struggle to do this: living in the moment. It makes sense though if you’ve read the tag line of this blog, I’m a dreamer! I’m constantly thinking of what is to come and will be. I think that is great in times of planning and preparing for the future but what about the current moment I’m in. It’s important too. It’s funny as a journaler (my made up word for one who journals) I love to reflect on the past and plan for the future. In more times than I prefer I look back and think about the things I should and could have done but…

Writer’s Block
It’s crazy we are so close to the end of this writing challenge and I find myself stumped. Unsure of what to write about it at this moment. I shared recently that in my work world of reslife we have a bit of trainings and events happening. That season is now upon us and with all there is to do in that part of my world it’s making it a bit hard for me to focus on my writing today. Hoping to be a bit more focused for tomorrow. Until next time, I’m CiggyG Post 87 out of 100 #the100dayproject
