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……

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…

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…

It’s a Pizza Party Day!
Hey there dreamers! Did you know that Friday (May 21) was Pizza Party Day? I didn’t know at first but it is…fun fact there is practically something to celebrate every day of the year. You can learn more about the national days here. I’ve technically been celebrating Pizza Party Day since May 15 when I had the opportunity to attend Dallas Pizza Fest as a VIP guest covering the event! Y’all it was a dream I didn’t even know I wanted coming true! Cue Backstory: Ever since I was a little girl I have loved pizza! It’s not my favorite food (that’s reserved for white rice…more on that later), but…

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 September!
Hi there fellow dreamers! It has been a moment since I caught up with y’all…actually over a month. This past month has been quite restful, productive and transformative. For those that follow you may know that I am also “Rena in Reslife.” Well nearly 4 months ago I transitioned my career and though I am still “Rena in Reslife” it is a completely different setting. In my previous role August would be one of my busiest seasons where as this past August I actually started the month off with a vacation! It was great and surreal. I took a much needed girls trip on a cruise to the Bahamas! It…

Living Now
Hey Y’all! It’s been a minute since I wrote to you and let me just say that time is flying by…I can’t believe it is already July! Happy New month and early 4th of July to everyone! These past couple of months I have been experiencing a lot of newness in my life and transitions. In all of this I am learning to enjoy the life I have while still going after the one I dream of. You might ask what does that even mean? For me, it is not just living in the future for my dreams, but actually living in the present right now. In all honesty, I have…

Two Weeks Later…
Hi there CiggyChat Readers! I apologize for being MIA these past 2 weeks. I went out of town to visit family that I have not seen in 2 years and in the midst of that trip I got sick. Truth be told, I am still a bit sick but definitely better than when I started. So in these past 2 weeks, I had a chance to be with family and rest “doctor’s orders”. Though I hate being sick I am grateful for this time as it kind of forced me to slow down and think about what’s important and try to get my head back into this dreamer’s journey of…
