  • Time Flies..

    …when you’re tackling your dreams, dreamers! Hey there dreamers – new and past! For those that may be new to the blog, a quick intro since it has been a minute. I’m Ciggy and I’m a dreamer…a big one!!! The past few months of radio silence has been me living out the journey and tackling various dreams. I broke them out down there to give you an update…but I’m also more curious to know what you all are up to as we enter this Autumn season! Please share your dreams and the latest in your journey in the comments below…I would love to connect and continue to encourage one another…

  • Rejoice!!

    Hi there dreamers!! Today’s a good day. It’s Easter Sunday and my birthday. It’s the day that Jesus rose again. It’s a time of resurrection for the dreams that God has instilled in you that you thought were gone. I’m excited for this time and grateful to celebrate my birthday on this day. Lately I would start a conversation about something I want to do or achieve with the words “I’ll try” and my sister would stop me and say “Don’t try, do.” I appreciate it because it has helped me to be a bit more intentional with what I’m doing. In 2021, I’ve been able to make new progress…

  • Happy Birthday Broham!!

    Today happens to be one of my favorite dreamers’ birthday, William Graham the III, more popularly known as Turtle Will of the True Turtle Empire! To me he’s my not-so-little brother aka my broham! Over a decade ago, he became my role model when he published his first book as a teenager.

Make sure to check out his work on Instagram and YouTube. This young man is not just a dreamer but a doer and goes after his dreams full out in all areas of life.…

  • Happy Birthday Momma!!

    Everyone please join me in saying Happy Birthday to my momma!!! Today is her 12th birthday (wink wink). We have a secret formula where this makes so much sense! Anyway I just wanted to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the life of this woman. She has been a wonderful mother to my brother, Turtle Will, and I. She has believed in us, encouraged us, and taught us right from wrong. She continues to be a great mom to us though we are both grown adults. She prays over us as we have gone after dreams and new goals even if she didn’t understand our reasoning behind them. Most…

  • Refresh and Restart on New Goals in this New Phase!

    Hello CiggyChat Readers! Today is my birthday!! I am in the tail end of my 20s aka I am 29 today!  With that said I’ve been thinking a lot about goals, dreams, paths, and just life overall lately so I am hoping to take on a new challenge today (#the100dayproject) and I am praying that God gives me strength to do it! This past February I had the chance of hearing Michelle Poler speak at a conference for my work and she talked about her own personal triumph of tackling 100 fears in a 100 days. Crazy but she did it and I believe she is all the stronger for…
