Hi there dreamers and Happy November! I have this superb, excited, overjoyed, and just grateful energy right now. This post is titled Godbig because I want us all to go after those extremely grand and large dreams that God instills in us.

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.

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.

Satisfied
I am not sure if you’ve seen the musical Hamilton yet, but I definitely would recommend at least listening to the album from start to finish…it’s amazing! I’ve yet to see the show and only heard the music but the song that hooked me is Satisfied. Please take a moment (~5minutes) to listen to the song below. For more fun visual views of the song check out Youtube and search some of the animations that have been done with this song. If you hear the song it is kind of has a sad twist with this feeling of never being satisfied. For some reason, I played this song on repeat…

Motivated Monday
Today is Monday and I think my goal for each week moving forward is to not dread Mondays. In an effort to tackle today I worked to get up a bit earlier to pray, do a workout, and treat the day with the best energy I could do. It has been a busy Monday and because of that you are getting a rather short post at the end of the day. However, I would love to hear from my fellow readers and see how do you tackle the start of your week and what keeps you motivated to move forward. Please share below. Until next time, I’m Ciggy! Post 86…

Freewrite Sunday
Today is Sunday! Sunday sometimes has a hastag associated with it. #sundayfunday or #selfcaresunday This Sunday, I’ve had a smidge of both. #SundayFunday I volunteer in my church in a couple of areas but today I spent time in the nursery with the older toddlers (19 months to 23 months). This group of 1 year olds are quite a fun bunch. They are walking, dancing, playing, high-5ing, and started to talk and sing which makes praise time a truly fun time with this group. Also, for those that know me well…I’m a couponer! I promise I am not extreme but I do have a binder and I learn/subscribe to…

Happy International Self-Care Day!
For the past few months or so, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving alerts from Shine. It is a quick dose of positivity and inspiration that comes to my phone Monday through Friday. For those interested in that I would definitely recommend you joining in here. In today’s message from Shine, I learned that it is International Self-Care Day and learned some ways that people from around the world practice self-care in this article. In reading the article, it was cool to observe that those around the world and myself have similar self-care practices. My self-care practices include the following: blowing bubbles cooking counseling dancing music praying reading time with…

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…

Containment Experiment
Containment I’m not quite sure if that is a word or the right word but it is rather late (Meaning I’m too tired to google it) and it feels the most accurate for what I want to describe, my day. Or better yet how I’ve reacted or tried to react within my day. Today was not a great day or a bad day. It wasn’t blah but it wasn’t stupendous. I don’t think it can be classified as a chill day with all that happened. My reactions today varied as I’m trying to do my best to not overly react or emote (yet that comes naturally to me). I believe…
