  • Momentum

    Hi there CiggyChat readers! I can’t believe we are so close to the end of the 100 day project (more like 100+ days there were a few hiccups and breaks along the way). In being a dreamer, it is quite easy to dream and dream and well dream some more. However, the part I am looking forward to is achieving the dreams, accomplishing the goals you set for yourself. Accomplishing the small goals will continue to give you the momentum for the bigger goals and dreams. Just wanted to share my thoughts as I get near the end. Until next time, I’m CiggyG Post 81 out of 100 #the100dayproject

  • Case of the Mondays

    Today is Monday. Sometimes or more often than not…people dread their Mondays. Believe it or not, I did not dread today. I woke up quite ready to start the day and week. There was and still is a lot to do this week but I woke up with a peace about things and ready to tackle them with God’s guidance of course. Yesterday, I did my vision board and though it’s not hanging up yet, I’m ready to start living that life now. I was even able to squeeze in an afternoon workout for the day. #wellness Here’s to turning Miserable Mondays into Motivated Mondays! Until next time, I’m Ciggy!…

  • Vision Board

    Today, was the day! My friend, Mayra, had her vision board networking event and it was such a great success! The space was packed with a wonderful group of people ready to embark on this intentional process. We reflected on past accomplishments, our mantras and set goals in all aspects of lives prior to getting to the crafty fun that came with creating our vision boards! All boards were gorgeous, creative, and completely unique to each person with their vision. You may see other boards from the day on the instagram but I will share my completed board with you all here! That’s all for today but I am definitely…

  • Planning

    Lately, I’ve been thinking about the future and making plans for it. I shared previously that among my top strengths is Futuristic. So I am constantly thinking about the future. I am the girl that makes 5 and 10 year plans. They don’t always go according to plan but it helps me to have a goal/vision in sight. Generally, I have success or a variation of it that comes from the plan. I typically do this in my work life and was recently asked about what’s next in my personal life. It was a valid question and one I think worth answering but not necessarily one I felt equipped to…

  • Inspiration via Broham

    Inspiration and motivation to achieve your dreams may come from various things or people. Today, I had the opportunity to talk to my younger brother (aka my broham) who truly inspires me because he is quite passionate about his talent and pursuing his many dreams. Apparently this dreaming thing runs in the family. My brother and I are 5 Years, 6 Months, and a day apart. We shared a room practically his whole life until the point I left for college. Needless to say we are close despite the age and varying interests differences. I’ve always felt that he would become some great storyteller and potentially create something like the…

  • Dreamline

    Yesterday, I mentioned that I want to start writing my plans out for my dreams and giving them over to God to help make them happen! This past week, I just so happen to be reading a book title The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. I am definitely not done with the book yet but so far so good and it is chalked full of great tips, comfort zone challenges, questions and recommendations. My favorite thing in the book as of now is that he encourages this idea of a dreamline where he provides worksheets and everything so that you can create immediate action steps and figure out the monthly…

  • Dream Talk

    I can and have spent many a day just talking about my dreams and what the future may hold. I dream at night and in the day about this. For anyone that is familiar with StrengthsFinder, Futuristic is among my Top 5 strengths which explains a lot about my ability to dream. I feel though it is a strength it is a double edge sword and though I dream often about the future…worry about the future trickles in just as often. In my mind, worry is that annoying person that keeps pestering you with the why and how questions versus letting you, you know dream. Sometimes, worry tricks me up…

  • 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,…

  • Day by Day

    Two summers ago I had the wonderful opportunity to live right in the heart of the city that never sleeps: New York City! During my time there I got a chance to dabble in my favorite past time of musical theater and see Godspell! A wonderful musical telling a few of the stories of Jesus and his disciples and enacting parables from the Bible all leading up to the moment that Jesus Christ gave his life for us. It was a wonderful story and one of the songs that stick out from the musical is Day By Day (sung by Anna Maria Perez de TaglĂ©). I am realizing that I…
