God’s Timing
God’s Timing Hi there dreamers! I know it has been a serious minute since we last spoke. In this case when I say minutes its been about 5 months and that is crazy long. When I first started this blog it was just something for me to write, you know casually, whenever I had the urge or had a moment. Somewhere along the line I decided to do a 100-day writing challenge and in that time I decided to truly make my blog it’s own .com and that is when CiggyChat.com “A Dreamer’s Journey” came into the scene. Over the years I’ve gone back and forth on declaring new writing/posting…

Reflections & Intentions
To be read in the style of Bridgerton-ish circa March 2022’s post Dear Dreamers… It is the 31st of December, Year 2022. I can’t quite believe it, can you? Today is the last day of Year 2022…which means, dear readers, it is time for reflections… This past year was a whirlwind for Lady Ciggy indeed. Earlier this year I recounted about my move to a new city at the top of the year in the post New Year, New City and though I hadn’t clearly spelled out all goals or resolutions for the year the main focus was to move forward towards my dreams and living out God’s will for…

A Dreamer Interview
Hi there dreamers! It’s finally here. My first Dreamer Interview here on CiggyChat! This has been a loooong time in the making. I recently came across a voice memo journal that I created back in May 2016 where I talked about really making CiggyChat a full blog and doing an interview. I promise you the power of words is real. The things you write and speak aloud do manifest! I can write a whole other post about that and I will one day but back to the matter at hand…the very first dreamer interview is here! I had the pleasure of interviewing the one and only Zebretta Johnson aka Miz.…

Exciting News Coming
Hi there, dreamers! I’m so excited…can you feel it? The excitement is literally coursing through me right now and The Pointer’s Sister “I’m so excited“ is playing in my head! Why you may ask?? Great question. It’s because I’ve got some new stuff planned for next month! Ideally, more posts are coming and not just words…that’s right CiggyChat will have a lot more video posts coming your way!! Not just spontaneous or silly videos, though we will have these as well, but interviews!!

16 Days to Christmas
This past weekend I was able to give a quick pre-Christmas surprise to my family in the form of a visit. Being over 1500 miles away it felt good to be able to see my family if only for a moment. I happened to be on that side of the world due to a work-related conference hosted at my alma mater Rutgers University! Though the conference was clearly focused on student affairs, the themes of reflect, reimagine, and reach had some strong personal meaning for me. The keynote speaker Dra. Aurora Chang was great and spoke about the importance of telling your story. This idea that you should share…

29 Days till Christmas!!
Hi there CiggyChat readers! I am working to get back into a consistent habit of writing and I believe what works for me is a writing challenge. So here begins my 29 Days of Christmas!! Why Christmas and why 29 days, you ask? Great questions and here are my responses: Well the Christmas and holiday season overall is one of my favorites – it is a gorgeous time of the year. A season for family and friends and a time to be thankful! Also why must one wait till the New Year’s to start forming a new habit or get into something different? 29 also happens to be how old…

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…
