Godfidence & Gratitude
Happy New Year Dreamers. I wrote this in the last few days of 2023 but I still wanted to share… Wow its that time of the year again, you know the end of the year and I have so much to be thankful for and grateful. It’s honestly been a year of growth and dreams coming true and reaching new levels. I can say that my faith has been stretched and I’m so grateful because I’m walking in a Godfidence like I’ve never walked in before. Does that mean I’m done dreaming and accomplished every single thing I’ve wanted…no not at all but what it means is that God is…

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…

Marching Forward
Hey there dreamers! Happy March!! I know it’s practically over but something about the word March is sticking out to me. March is The 3rd month of the year The mark of the end of the 1st quarter of the year The month where Spring begins National Women’s History month The month of madness when it comes to college basketball the progress or continuity of something abstract that is considered to be moving inexorably onward. The last one is the dictionary version for the term March and y’all that is how I’m feeling about life right now but in the best way! As y’all know if you’ve been following along……

Love Where You R
Tis the season of love dear dreamers! Yep…that means it is February and love is in the air…typically you think romance and partner love but love expands to much more beyond that…your family, friends, yourself, and I’m learning the space I am in right now. As a very big dreamer I tend to spend a lot of headspace in the future – the what will bes, you know, once you reach certain goals and dreams… However two thoughts and stories come to mind… The first is sometimes you don’t have to wait for this future date to come along and you can go after what you desire right now and…

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…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Hey there dreamers!!! On this day especially but honestly everyday I would love to encourage and recommend you take a moment or two to reflect on all that you have to be grateful for. This blog is of course following the journey one may take to go after and achieve one’s dreams. Even though I am super excited to accomplish all that God has planned for me…throughout this journey I have to stop for a moment and just reflect on all that has been done, achieved, or just blessed with. So today I just want to declare a big thanks to and for so many things: First to…

Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day!!! I just wanted to send a big Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful women in my life. It’s not just my own momma that I think of today… My own momma is absolutely hilarious, honest, loving, so incredibly understanding, and continues to be someone that I can always go to in times of need even if we are miles apart. …but it’s also my Ma, Nana, my many Aunties, my Sisters, Friends, Cousins, my Godmother, and even my pastors, some mothers, and even mothers-to-be. I have been truly blessed to be surrounded by amazing women in my life. It’s because of the ladies in my…

Bridgerton’s Influence
In honor of the latest season of one of my favorite shows, this post should be read in the style of Bridgerton… Dearest Dreamers, It’s been quite some time since I’ve caught up with you and all I can say is that this year seems to be moving quite swiftly. I would prefer to catch up with you on a more regular basis but alas that was not in the cards these past few months. Last we met, I shared that Lady Ciggy has moved to Atlanta, GA in an effort to go after everything that God has in store for her. I will say that Lady Ciggy is continuing…

New Year New City
Happy New Year Dreamers!! It’s official we are in 2022! And I am in a new city! Instead of New Year, New Me, it’s New Year New City. I am in Atlanta, GA!! I’ve never been here before but being here feels strangely natural like I was supposed to be here. I am so excited to have done this faith jump and see what God is having me to do here and just obey. As y’all know I’m a big dreamer and I really feel like all the work I’ve been doing so far has been leading to my current role and stage here. I believe that everything serves a…
