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…

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…

Cluttered Mind
Hi there readers, It is quite late for me and my mind is a bit cluttered. I did some work today straightening up my home but I need to set some time to fully declutter my physical spaces. Someone once told that when you struggle to focus, have a clear clean space can be helpful. I believe that to be true and I’ve let life’s random distractions keep me from the tasks I need to do to have a clutter-free home and clear mind. As I embark this final quarter of the 100 day project my days are only going to get more busy and filled with life and work.…

Leadership
Lately, I’ve been reading some books around this topic and it truly is invigorating and humbling at the same time. I am currently in a position of leadership yet in both books it discusses the importance of leading sans the title or without the “authority” that seems to come from being the boss. In the latest book I am reading How to Lead when You’re Not in Charge by Clay Scroggins I’ve come across some great points and I still have another half of the book to go. The points that really stick so far are the following: Leading starts without a position Lack of a title doesn’t mean you…

Going for it!
Today, I just received some good inspiration and a reminder to go for it! What is it, you may ask? Well that is different for each person and changes at different seasons in one’s life. A few posts back I shared that I am working with my momma on going after some of her dreams and we have a few things in the making. However, today I became aware of something else this amazing woman is trying to do. Check out the video here to learn what she is going for and support. My momma who just celebrated a birthday yesterday has done some great things in her life and…

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…

Training Season
Hi Friends, So I’ve shared previously that I am within residence life. Summer for us is short-lived though we work in a school setting. So today kicked off the start of the training season for me.

That’s my quick update for…

Passion
Is defined in the following ways: Intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction (Merriam-Webster) Strong and barely controllable emotion (Google) When you put more energy into something than is required to do it (Urban Dictionary, top hit) Ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart mind body and soul into something as is possible (Urban Dictionary, top hit) Is simply caring deeply (Dave Ramsey via EntreLeadership) Passion is one of my favorite words. Quite often, I like to describe myself as a passionate person. I believe it has pros and cons. Honestly the cons come into place with the second definition from above that barely controllable piece…

June G&V Prompts – Part 3
Where are their opportunities to connect and encourage someone? At checkout, the copy machine, during a playdate, after you put your kids to bed? In the midst of heading to and from meetings, while I grab my lunch or encounter a campus visitor. I am learning that these prompts are all about making every moment count, not necessarily to get a to do list item done but to be a member of the community I am in and to have a positive impact in the lives around me. How can you change your focus on some of these tasks in your day to see them as purposeful opportunities to encourage…
