Happy January Intentions… 👏🏻👍🤍

Here we are warriors in this new year of 2026 as I wish the happiest of days ahead to all of you. I hope you’re all well and getting back into regular routines once again! I missed writing and there’s so much to share today. Let’s begin with a * BIG* milestone of January for me. It has been 10 years now when my Warrior dreams all started back in 2016. They were very frequent and continued for a while. Those beginnings were told in my book 📗 but they originated on here. Come October, these writings will also mark that double digit as I am so excited yet humbled always… 🥹 Remember last year when I changed that word of resolutions to goals? Well, this year is more about intentions as that word fits without tons of pressure.

We always need to do things with right minded or good intentions, correct? I sure hope you do as Warrior did too. The end result might not be exactly the ultimate win but at least we start off trying our best. FINALLY, I will say this though. I still receive multiple emails and or phone calls from book marketers but one guy actually acknowledged Warrior by name! That has never happened before. Everyone begins with those good intentions but they still might receive that dreaded “ no thanks.” This guy probably not knew who Warrior was but at least gave his part in all this a mention. The other topics highlighted included dreams, meditation, intuition, other signs, and a celebrity connection. So, someone along the way DID read my book because of specifics listed. He said I was relatable with my humility and spirituality. I will always take those compliments. 🙏🏻

He had good intentions but not the end result which is OK because then we just go another route. We all do. Let this new year and month bring you choices with many options. I’ve only used a month name in two other posts so here’s my three count! I will mention the photo below as it was my intention to start brand new but this one is not. I did use that clip of “ The Brother Love Show” in the past but not a close-up so here it is today. Another close-up I noticed over the break was of UW at the ‘ 87 Slammy Awards as part of a song number. How had I not ever picked up on THIS but he is holding a sledgehammer! Who remembers my story on that? It was in my top posts of the year. I laughed 😂 so hard on that image while connecting it to my scenario with the casket of a few years after those Slammys. The sledgehammer returns just in a different way! 🤭

Back to intentions as boy, this is a goodie from Christmas time. We have these reindeer 🦌 lights I put on a small table and they play a few songs while lighting up. It’s super cute and I’ve had it a long time. It has a battery in it and you just press the button on or off. One night, my husband and I were watching a classic holiday cartoon that was always one of my favorites as my daughter had a friend over to make ornaments. The son was working so he was not a witness. While I’m singing along to those fun songs in the movie, all of a sudden~~~ the reindeer lights started playing! 😳

I yelled in the other room to my daughter as I thought for sure she reached out of the doorway and turned them on to be funny. I find out later she did not and would not have done that. I can’t assume anything and maybe the battery acted up, who knows? GET THIS though~~~ my husband actually said: “ could that have been spirits or something?” WHAT??? Here’s this guy again surprising me with a comment like that. Christmas is a magical time and electronics as loyal readers know are easy for spirits to manipulate. I wanted a good intention here so decided to meditate on this a little. Do I believe there was a malfunction with the lights? Nope. I DO have my way sometimes of getting information so you can believe what you wish on this. Let’s just say~~~ I always believe after of course connecting other dots or bouncing off all four corners of my squared circle. To think I almost gave them away… I never will now. They are put away to be used in our new home but I paused a little while packing them in the box. 📦

This last good intention concerns an episode of my guys over at “ 80’s wrestling the podcast.” They titled 12/ 18/25 as “ Merch Madness.” Check it out if you’re interested wherever you get your podcasts. I’m on around the 58 minute mark discussing my UW action figure story and cereal box images both told in my book “Spirit and Belief.” I was so grateful to share my humor with the guys and listeners as I received many compliments. They love me, ha ha! 🩷

I always have good intentions when I call in because my stories will never equate with theirs! The following week I called in as well right before Christmas but that was just a few trivia questions. Here’s the funny part. They were playing ads or TV commercials from the ol’ WWF years and you had to guess. I knew a couple but then I was last. They saved the final audio for me and the host SWEARS it was just in random order. Best for last of course! I knew from the beginning as it was one of the first pics I used last year to start 2025. Those “ Slim Jim” commercials where UW was the first spokesman before they switched to Randy Savage who became more iconic. I still see Randy’s image at gas stations or convenient stores with Slim Jim sometimes. Very glad I called in for that one! We’ll see what the guys pull out of the vault this year, which also marks a milestone. It will be 5️⃣ years almost that I’ve been listening to them. I hope they do a great anniversary show.

Well, warriors, I wish you always good intentions as you move through this year. Don’t “run” too much like UW or you might miss something! Next week brings more news so gear up and settle in on an arena of your choice. Happy 2026 readers!

~~~ Kathy

( yep, it’s me again!!!)

P.S. Don’t be “bored” as UW yells to those boys in the Slim Jim ads! 

That’s a Wrap! 🎁💪🏻

It’s the end of 2025 warriors with my last post of the year and what an ultimate one it will be. Today, though is my husband‘s birthday so we will celebrate him later. 🥳 Also, this month is all of Warrior’s girls with December being their birth month along with my mom on Christmas Eve. Whew~~~ that’s a lot. Yep, Warrior and I both married a Sagittarius! You’ll see him ⬇️ for my last photo this year as Dingo. I couldn’t edit to make it “Christmasy” so that’s what you get as I wrap up all my writings to end until January. There have been 50 posts this year! What a nice round number. It all started with number 400 early on and all the way to now. Thank you to all who read, follow, like, or even subscribe to my writings. I wish everyone a fun and relaxing last few weeks and new year of 2026.

I’ll begin by asking what any of you thought of John Cena’s final match on SNNE last Saturday. I do not have Peacock so had to watch clips on YouTube. Gunther is a brute and I expected a little more offense from Cena. I kinda expected the outcome but I think it could’ve gone a little better for fans. Great to see all the talent and legends there to support him as well. He’s an amazing guy and wrestler so only fitting that he would get such a tremendous sendoff. He will be missed in the ring but I’m sure has lots of projects in the works. John has been so very dedicated to WWE and I loved this quote of him from an interview. “ My skills can’t match the product.” So very humbling to say that. Warrior alluded to similar words too in his HOF speech to the roster of talent.

Let’s get into my tradition now of listing the MOST memorable posts for the year. I picked 6 because well, that number makes sense! Seriously though, I did not know at all until making my notes. There are 3 honorable mentions because we need a 3 count, right? A few I stayed away from as I was too angry then and didn’t want to end the year like that. I also did not choose “ I will Always…” concerning the 11 years of Warrior’s passing. It was not overly sad but I just wanted to concentrate on others. I had to write about the 35th anniversary of WMVI as 2 more Warrior WM’s will have their milestones in 2026. Hulk Hogan‘s passing (with my tribute) and my yard with 52 Bluejay feathers was in the same post as that truly filled me with joy and then comfort… 🥹

So many good ones, where to start? Honestly readers, I did look at my entire list this year as many always stand out as some do not. LOTS of great ones as I can be a little biased, but I should be! I do hope any, some, or all affected you in a way be fitting to my style of writing, experiences, and of course Warrior himself. Maybe you even can remember your favorites. Ready for my list? Here it is:

TOP 6

~~~My Happy Harmotions

~~~The Kindness of Kamala

~~~Blast From the Past ( Dream…)

~~~Hand me the Sledgehammer!

~~~ “Hello, my Name is…”

~~~ Before You RUN!

Honorable Mentions:

~~~ The Sci-Fi Cyborg

~~~ The Galaxy of Self

~~~ My February Loves ( this is about SONGS, not just Valentine’s Day…)

No to need to explain but with those titles, feel free to look up on your own if you missed any. Also, if you have extra time during my two weeks off, catch up on old posts to relive memories I wrote about this year. I still could’ve picked a few more to add to that list but I think those topped it and became winners as this year long match comes to a close. Oh, and the BIG winner that remained at the top of the stats was “ Family Business Banter.” A great read too from several years back. “ The Mysterious Batteries” and “ Disciplines of Destrucity” also remained much viewed. I actually had a little dream a few weeks ago of explaining “ Destrucity” to my daughter as I was showing her Warrior’s 8 disciplines from the first comic book! He was not part of it but his beliefs were. I’ll take that tag from him anytime.

Another newbie to add this year, even though it wasn’t a post technically is the new spiritual app I began using back in August. It’s still frequents my time for a few moments, a few times a week. I love playing around with ideas and keeping track of my notes although more has to be deleted from my phone storage! It has provided me with more clarity which is one of the C words I have been working on. We’ll see what 2026 holds but I’m always inspired by the content. Hard to believe that this week marks 4 months but I did take some time off just to regroup a little and organize my thoughts.

I actually want to end with this today. Last week on “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” it was all about Wrestling Biographies so I did call in once again around the 20 minute mark. I was referencing my brother’s books ( and of course the one I own on Warrior) , but then randomly brought up my own which guess I never did before!!! The hosts were very interested and then of course I had to do a shout out to this blog as well. I really did think I had brought it up, but they said NO!!! Tommy Fierro also turned into Santa 🎅🏼 by sending a Christmas gift package to all the callers! More on that in a later post but I was very overwhelmed and touched. I can’t wait to hear their thoughts on my book 📗 as I can answer any questions they send my way. Always will I do my best in making my experiences relatable to all.

Well, that’s a wrap warriors for 2025. I can’t forget another post that is worth the read called “ Stomp out the Dust.” It concerns the word NOUS… Sounds intriguing, right? I do wish you all a wonderful season however you celebrate, and with whomever you celebrate. Take some time for YOU as well since we deserve to care for ourselves too. I wish you all happiness, good health, peace, and relaxation. Whatever you do, bring Warrior intensity to it all. I will too. Until January in a few weeks, this is Kathy saying~~~ that’s a wrap!

P.S. Check out my book if interested! “ Spirit and Belief” is on Amazon or wherever you find books. Had to plug 🔌 it right??? I’m always ultimately grateful. ☃️🎅🏼❄️🎄🦌🫶🏻🧑‍🎄

Initiate THEN Integrate 💪🏻

It’s Warrior Wednesday so I am here to start a new match with all you readers today. I hope you’re getting into this season of giving and receiving while bringing kindness to all you do. I’m not specifically writing a Christmas post this year but as always~~~ many memories of the past to fondly look upon while creating new ones. This month, however marks 1️⃣0️⃣ years since I began a daily meditation practice. 🧘‍♀️ Oh my goodness, double digits now on that. I have shared my beginnings on how that evolved in an interesting way but so grateful to still integrate it every day. Warrior did meditate also years ago…

Great way to lead into my title as UW paces down below in that photo before a match. Another word resurfacing in different media for me and integration wouldn’t leave for whatever reason. It’s quite possibly because these words are meant to be discussed on here so this is what I do. Sometimes I only have one idea and then like magic, 🪄 it all tags in. We can connect with ideas started as initiating somehow and then getting it integrated for a consistent practice. It can be anything you start and then after a bit, it becomes part of you. That’s how fitness also began for me as it did for Warrior when in high school.

Sometimes when we initiate something, it might not work out the way we had anticipated. This can be like planning an activity with a friend, (been there) hosting a party, as I am getting frustrated with THAT coming soon for Christmas Eve, 🤦🏻‍♀️ or even sending a text to someone. The response back may be exactly what we were hoping but then again~~~ it could be the opposite. I’m sure all of you have found yourselves in similar situations. Our reactions do not need to define us and yet somehow, they do at times. We integrate them into our being as it all becomes part of us. If you feel it is a negative feeling you are holding onto, let it go. I just recently heard that song “Let Go” by Firehouse and how fitting for this time of year. Firehouse was a band Warrior listened to often back in his days of being on the road.

Let’s bring another aspect into the ring. UW initiated so much with his character and then put it all into action by integrating spirit, belief, and discipline. Two words in my book 📗title! He used those same aspects in his life as Warrior by embodying what it truly meant to live his destiny. We can all bring our own traits to the mat and then feel them in deeper ways. You have to feel it to heal it as there’s no bypassing the ugly stuff you know. When adults~~~ if we don’t get our way, do we throw ourselves on the floor and plug our ears like a toddler? I surely hope not! We need to deal with situations like grown-ups, while still maintaining our level of integrity and truth. Some do not respect principles or boundaries but us warriors need to stand our ground!!!

You might think I am referencing other states of being here, but that is not the case. By integration, I don’t mean those with split identities and personalities that learn to accept their parts through medication or therapy. Yes, those can be serious mental health issues that need to be addressed but I am meaning other wounded parts of us common to all. Things in our life get started, however or whatever they may be and then within time, they get integrated into wholly being part or within us~~~ never forgotten. They are always still there, possibly buried or hidden but not brought to the surface until ready. You will know when they arrive and if they do, will you be able to be honest about how to best address them? Positives and negatives both.

For me, as loyal readers are aware this has been an ongoing process and one that continues~~~ only in differing ways now. Like I’ve said, acceptance is the victor here because what we resist will persist in some form. We take it all and compartmentalize in our mind where it needs to go. Remember my containers of last week? I didn’t know what to do with all my spiritual learnings, Warrior’s energy, or all these questions constantly coming to light. 😳 No way could there be a container big enough once initiated to then integrate it ALL, could there be? Well, warriors there is and it’s not like another. There are many facets to each one’s journey and we all learn what truly works best for us in time. Warrior had much he wanted to begin as he was always full of ideas ready to be initiated. Some came to fruition, and some did not as that truth resonates for any reading today~~~including me. We integrate a win, loss, new belief, relationships, ups, downs, and in between. All successes and failures.

Our spirit already has that area of our lives figured out but our bodies, minds, and hearts need to catch up with this physical world we live in as humans. It can be difficult trying to see what parts of us will remain, and which will be let go like the song states. “ Take a deep breath, and go with the flow, make it easy on yourself…”Yep, those lyrics fit too. What part of you that began as an initiation of sorts is ready to be fully integrated and what can be set free? We need it all so it won’t just be happy moments, remember. Don’t wallow or spend too long in the negative areas as life needs more joy, so integrate more of that and not just because of the Holidays…

Initiate THEN integrate. Take it all in. See what happens… You might pace a little like UW there, but let go. Your spirit will cover you for the win.

P.S. If I could list an initiation on this spiritual journey with Warrior, it would obviously be 2014 but integration began early 2016. Almost 10 years and still going… ❤️

“ The Caring Containers” 📦🧳💗

Here we are in this last month of 2025 warriors. It went by pretty fast when I think back to what I was writing in January. How has it been going for all of you? Time does slip away with all its highs and lows. I hope this month brings you a sense of peace, compassion, and * CARE* as we approach Christmas with the New Year. UW ⬇️ looks like he’s running into 2026 but I will be here a few more weeks before taking my holiday break. Until then, let’s shake those ropes and gear up today. You might be wondering what this odd title means so it’s up to me clarifying which is what I do…

The word of container popped up or “ran” my way in an email not so long ago with it being depicted metaphorically of course. Metaphors like last week only differently. Plus, just TODAY~~~it was part of my daily Calm with the meditation app. It was called “a gentle container”. How about that? Perfectly fits for today… 🤍 It did keep coming back to my thoughts so now, I will expand on how this fits in my life but always in yours too. Think about a physical container or visualize one if you can. Maybe you see a glass jar, a bottle, plastic jug, or even a flower pot. Yours can even be a box. It could have water in it, another liquid, soil, plants, or other items. Again~~~ anything since it’s yours to fill. Lastly, think about whatever is in it expanding or growing. Does it take on the shape of the container with space to move or is it something stagnant that just rests in its spot? It seems like a science lesson, doesn’t it? It’s all your choice. Will your object occupy the entire container immediately or will there be more to add later on? It’s all up to you readers.

I know with me~~~ I thought of this certain flower pot in my home. It started with tiny indoor succulents 🪴 with room to grow. Then they started sprouting and spreading to fill the entire space. We start small and grow up too. If I would ever transplant them outdoors or in the ground, I’m sure those succulents would expand. These are indoor plants but you get what I’m saying. Plants fill a container just like liquids or soil mentioned earlier. Let’s finally switch this up and tag in something deeper felt. How about within ourselves. Do you have enough space with your personal containers to fill up and do they overflow? We can only take so much until our body needs water, food, rest, alone time, or any of those essentials. If not, our container breaks down in someway.

Here’s another metaphor to consider. When packing a suitcase, if too much is in you will be unable to close it. If it’s too big for the overhead compartment on an airplane, you need to check it. We have to take some out to make room. It’s like cleaning out your closet or dresser drawers. I know I do this often. All that bulk “wearing” us down needs to be donated or sold. Sometimes we buy again but sometimes not. The old has to be pinned down so the new can grow. All carrying containers dealt with by us in our own time.

How about with relationships? We all know this and yet sometimes don’t submit because we always want things the same. Realistically, life isn’t like that warriors but it is hard to face. Our emotions matter and when something is lost or disconnected, do we want it back? We might but then aspects have changed and trust is difficult to gain again. Warrior also knew this and yet our hearts need to remain open because it’s worth the risk. Remember my story of “ The Eyedrops Commercial” years ago? Just when I thought no more tears could come out of my eyes, there they were and much longer than I anticipated after Warrior’s passing. Will we ever run out of 😭 ? Nope, there’s an endless supply just like love in our hearts. We may fight them both but then they reappear whether we accept it or not. We can make room for other caring containers to hold space for those people or ideas that are sacred to us.

Physically, this is much different for obvious reasons. I mean if you’re buying a new couch and have no room for another, the older one has got to go somehow right? You also wouldn’t overfill a glass of water to drink as that’s a big mess. But our hearts and minds will always make room for more love and greater learning because that’s what we are here to do warriors. Love more and learn more however that feels for you.

I bet you can think of so many more examples in your life I’m not listing here. Once Warrior had a family~~~ his own containers, (if you will) opened up to so much more than what he had ever known. It is an ultimate challenge when we are faced with many difficulties in life but we continue on every day filling up, emptying, and beginning again. We may even need to shatter something to pieces in order to grow or let it go if it was never ours to take. It’s like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. It doesn’t work and forcing only leads to broken containers. We learn our lessons and hopefully move on. What’s meant will find its way to us and I need that daily reminder too. We can’t just give ourselves to anybody to do with what they want but we also can’t isolate so much that our container remains sealed shut… 😕

I hope you readers can connect to my writings today as I haven’t delved deep in a while. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays upon us, maybe we need to re-examine our containers and see which serve as caring and which ones do not. Make these remaining weeks of 2025 matter warriors because like he said, never does it not matter…

***P.S. When I was getting frustrated leaf blowing a week or so ago in my HUGE container of a yard, I found a Bluejay feather on the sidewalk by my house. It was just the caring I needed… Quite possibly the last feather of the season… 💙🥹 The ❄️ is here…

The Ultimate Winding Road… 🌄⛰️🛣️

Hello my warriors! I’m coming to you all a day early today because of a few reasons. They both connect to this upcoming holiday here of Thanksgiving in the US. My “80’s wrestling the podcast” will be tomorrow instead of Thursday and that time is when I write. Sure, I can draft a piece and publish at a later date but honestly~~~ I would forget. I have never done that and really no true need. The other reason is some days my mornings are packed since walking the dog has to get done as well so shuffling this crazy tag team it is! It’s an ultimate winding road to end this month and then next week begins December. Wow… 😮 I do wish all my US readers a Happy Thanksgiving however you celebrate with loved ones. Some of you may have already started Christmas preparations but for me, that will be in a few more days. I have started some shopping though… 🛍️

Next up, the photo you see below. I know, I know, I know. I said how much I disliked AI images but that was referencing REAL doctored photos of UW or W by AI. The “cartoon” or artwork generated is OK and some are truly great. This one was posted by Warrior’s good friend Peter as were several others but I chose that creation. Rarely do I use art or even paintings by others but it’s time to get on that AI train I guess. Many are very close likenesses but real photos altered, I’m still not on board with. You can agree or not, totally up to you but always my opinion with MY writings. Another ultimate winding road of selecting photos every week. I tell ya warriors, I do much planning or research behind the scenes. Warrior always wanted to give credit to those so yes, I do the work too.

Here’s my 3️⃣ count today and was this another ultimate winding road for sure. I will say more like a winding path, but you get my point. I’ll explain. Recently, I received yet another email from a man (this time) who read my book “Spirit and Belief.” 📗 I want to believe he truly did. He also is a literary agent but at least was direct about it. I did respond as once again~~~ I’m not interested in re-branding my book or working with an agent. I have to share a few quotes and then other sentiments included in his email. I’ll start with this: “ … always inviting me to explore deeper corners of my own spirit.” Yes to this! He mentioned my “ reflections on faith and the unseen.” Another YES!!! Here’s a few more I edited: “ … guiding those who are willing to listen to the heartbeat of belief.” Another goodie…

Never once in every time anyone like a critic has ever contacted me have they mentioned Warrior by name or certain specific stories I shared. Nope, NEVER. All that is OK but then I ask what stories resonated with them. I do not receive responses back but at least I make my point. The woman I have referenced really * DID*bring up my spiritual relationship with Warrior, which had never also been sent my way. I was overwhelmed at something not common place to mainstream culture but then her book burning remarks turned me away! 🤬 Here’s a few more statements from Mr. Literary Agent: … “ it beckons the soul to lean closer” AND this final one of : “ Thank you for letting me wander these sacred spaces with you Kathy.” Sure….. Glad to help…. I love all those but he pours it on a little too thick with some other words on this road… er path as he states.

He compared my book to: “ a quiet forest at Dawn,” “ sunlight filtering through the branches,” AND “ soaring over mountains while “ resting by a still lake.”This isn’t a poetry reading class! I loved the lantern metaphor beckoning like a beam of light to doubters (as I paraphrased that one) and being a compass though. Beautifully said to a writer.. .✍🏻 What girl (especially) wouldn’t ❤️ all that prose of poetry describing a book written? Sorry, buddy though~~~ no sell. If I was a teacher and he was in my class, I’d ask him about *SPECIFICS* . Anyone can be those illuminating nature words but where’s my stories in all this? That part is always the missing piece for me as any writer will attest. I understand the need to put yourself out there for business but it’s all a little too much, do you agree? I mean, you aren’t trying to impress a girl to date me here, right? 🫤🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyways, I do LOVE words like that really I do but not in the way they are presented in such fashion. If people take the time to READ my book and want my business, then be honest and direct. Don’t entice me with romantic sounding expressions where I might give a resounding YES! 💞Oh, warriors what a winding path this month has ended upon. Be your OWN compass, lantern, or whatever you wish as you move through this world warriors. May you always listen to your OWN heartbeat of belief…

P.S. Happy “ Turkey” 🦃 day US friends! Eat and be merry!!! Oh, and if GENUINELY interested in my book, head on over to Amazon fans!

P.P.S. I would absolutely *MELT* if those words he used were in a romance novel!!! 🥰

What’s the Word? 🤭

***A quick mention first. Natayla Neidhart appeared at “The Wrestling Collector” store last night on the 18th, not on the weekend. Sorry, my bad! It was part of my PS last time.

There’s so many words to discuss today but 2️⃣ I need to say are THANK YOU! My numbers on the blog lately have been amazing! I never know how people just find it, look me up, or whatever but much gratitude to you ALL for finding these writings. I hope you continue reading if truly interested or it impacts you in someway. I’m grateful for you all and not just in this month of November. Keep reading loyal warriors. I haven’t seen numbers like that in a while, I am humbled always… 🥹

Another mention I forgot was Veterans Day last week which I’ve done a post on in the past. Warrior respected our vets and did much for them over the years. Just a random pic of him earlier in his WWF time today but I wanted to acknowledge. I have many veterans in my family as I thank them for their service to our great country. It was 11/11 so that is a great spiritual number. I am a master 11 in numerology if anyone follows that. Also, 11 years this year since Warrior’s passing so we have that connection. You don’t have to follow that spiritual path I am on as all numbers are great. Happy belated Veterans Day to any readers today as I thank you all for your service as well… 🇺🇸

So, let’s move onto other words, shall we? I did say I would share what happened with the “ Wrestling Families” podcast episode. The guys always teach me new things so they listed a few I had not thought. What was fun though was a little game we played. “ Family Feud” was my favorite game show for years and like wrestling, it still is around today! I chose the McMahon’s (although they were promoters first) but also for those 4️⃣ generations they embodied. According to a Google poll, they were listed as number 3️⃣ out of 10. Most of mine were on that list with a few others in the mix. Next week is that elusive G.O.A.T. topic. Well, actually tomorrow it will be. That is going to be a loooong episode for sure. I will say UW personally but I have a huge list on that so who knows what each caller will pick. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s some more words to share. Recently, a guy on X (or Twitter) commented on one of my posts in a nice way and of course I responded. He admired my “obsession” with Warrior but stated how he could tell there’s true affection. Yes, sir there is, but I did dismiss that word of obsession. I totally * CAN* relate how others feel that way with my writings though. I actually wrote a post on this comparing obsession with passion and the difference. Believe me readers~~~ I KNOW those who have obsessions but in the wrestling forum~~~ many share. Yes, merchandise is a business but then there are others who take it a little too far by my standards. They might not see anything wrong~ however, I can relate photos, videos, or stories shared through groups that are “ kooky.” I will not though. 🙄 That was one of Warriors’s words. I did thank him for reaching out and acknowledged his words. I have defended my actions on this topic but no need to anymore as I know much and it makes sense. Believe as you wish…

This last one concerns a song I have mentioned before. It’s “ Word-Up” by Cameo. Remember my story about changing those 6 letters into 7 to spell Warrior? I was a teenager then! They do spell in the song. Well, my life truly factors in. Just last week, I decided to reread a few older posts that were fun for me. “ Word-Up” was about being at a restaurant and hearing it along with a few other goodies. In high school, the seniors did a skit to that song and I totally remembered. During my workout that day of last week, I asked Alexa to play it so I could dance. I laughed as I’m sure Warrior was too. 😂

Later that evening, my husband and I decided to get sundaes at this ice cream shop I went to often as a kid. We still go there sometimes but it was the anniversary of when we first met. It just happened to be last Wednesday on blog day! We were waiting for our ice cream and they had music playing softly over the speakers. I could BARELY hear it, but then I did! Guess what? Yep, it was “ Word-Up!” Unbelievable… They don’t play that type of music in there. I just said “no way!” to myself over and over while hiding my giddiness from my husband on our special day. 😳 What would be those odds? I tell ya warriors~~~ I can’t make this stuff up. I couldn’t wait to laugh more when alone and just think how my dancing earlier started all that. You better believe I wrote that note down to add with today’s words… 🤣🤣

There ya have it readers. My words for today and boy, were they ultimate! Oh, one more thing. Before going to the ice cream shop, my right ear started ringing. Could that have been a sign??? I do get those kinds of messages, so not entirely sure. I always believe of course. I respond and just say “ thank you for visiting me, whoever you are.” Often I think about what was just happening but this was a future event. Always is it a positive when that occurs so perhaps the universe or Warrior was giving me an “inside scoop?” Pun intended. ~~~ I will connect next week but it might be a few days before the Thanksgiving holiday here~~~ we’ll see. Thank you for reading as I hope to brighten your day. Make words your passion as they truly are mine on here. Before I end, go get some ice cream with hot fudge! You can work it off tomorrow. 🍧🍨😋

Back to the Mat 🤼💪🏻

Hey there, warriors! I am back with some wrestling news for this one. Not always my favorite topic so much anymore, but I share to stay in the loop or even just to have my own point of view. We all need that, right? First off, that pic today is from one of the many ol’ WWF commercials that aired back in the day. This one was from 1990 when UW was champ. I had never used one so yet another that came to mind. Yeah, I know it’s a little blurry but super hard to capture an action shot.

So, the first HOF inductee of the WWE this year is Stephanie McMahon. I think it was kinda early to announce someone already but that news broke a month or so ago. Guess I forgot to post about it so here it comes today. I do believe she deserves it but here’s my POV. With her husband Triple H just receiving that honor last year, it seems a little too close together. Maybe that was their plan. Maybe they wanted to induct her last year but because of the scandal with Vince, they switched to him~~~ who knows? Vince should be there for his daughter so we shall see what happens. Who will induct her? I believe it should be a female opponent of hers years ago, just my thought. It shouldn’t be Triple H, she didn’t induct him. Undertaker is an idea, but he inducted his wife last year even though he does seem to be everywhere… 😯 Time will tell on it all, but she should be in. The only McMahon that might possibly ever be…

Now, we’ll move onto John Cena as I’ve been following the end of his career just a bit like I had said. So, there’s going to be a tournament to see who his final opponent will be. Wow. Has that ever happened before? He has been with the business over 20 years but not consecutively as is the case with many popular performers nowadays. He’s had a reality show and is a big movie star along with his own show “Peacemaker” on HBO. I’m so glad he will not end as a heel, at least I hope not. They might bring back a few of his past opponents from years ago which would make it interesting. It all happens mid December. Let’s just hope he doesn’t pull a Tom Brady and come back out of retirement a year or so later! 🙄 My guess is a no what with all the other WWE programming available nowadays. John can have his own podcast, cohost another show, or whatever. He did write a book and cohosts the obstacle reality show “Wipeout” so the future is bright for him. He’s still so young.

It’s my turn now, yay! I will G.L.O.W. for a minute here. Last weeks “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” was all about that big Vegas showgirl venue of highlighting those Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Any readers remember it airing from ‘86 to ‘90? Of course I had to call in as it was pretty exciting to talk about more women for a change. The guy caller before me even was interested in what I had to say~~~ from my perspective so I had to bring my A game for sure.

I spoke for almost 10 minutes and wanted to remember much from memory instead of googling. I eventually did look up a few performers and watched one match with my favorite- Americana. 🇺🇸 I had others, but she was my girl., Ah, the memories and it was a great episode listening to all the other callers. They asked me to pick a topic for next week! What pressure. I DID before the show ended so they’ll expect a call from me again. it will be all about “ Wrestling Families.” You can say dynasties too, but not the Heenan family! My idea is several members who wrestled related by blood. OK, we do have a few parent child combos but I’m looking for at least three in a family. Here are a few I thought of : The McMahon’s, – (of course) The Hart’s, The Poffo’s , The Roberts’s, the Rhodes’s, The Funks’s, The Von Erich’s, and the Anoai family. Some are still quite active in the business, but some have hung up the boots or passed on. So many criteria to choose a favorite so I’ll be waiting to see how the guys do with that topic.

Well, I guess that makes yet another 3️⃣ count for you all today. Stephanie McMahon, John Cena, and G.L.O.W. What a combo. I hope you readers enjoyed and we’ll see what next week brings. I will let you know what the group explored on the podcast all about wrestling families so stay tuned for that! Oh, and a few guys added these comments regarding G.L.O.W. It did have similarities with “ Hee-Haw” in some country type of segments so Minnie Pearl would’ve been great guest starring in some role. What a hoot to have seen that! Also, someone suggested Sherri Martel being on G.L.O.W. I think she also could’ve pulled that off whether she was “sensational” or “scary.” I totally agreed with both.

If anyone is ever interested or are fans of wrestling, please check them out if you can. It isn’t all 80s all the time either as they have covered way back and even to today’s world of the current WWE talent. I listen with the free Podbean app live most of the time since I’m home. It airs 10 AM, Thursdays, ET or you can find replays. They have a great group and I’m usually the only girl caller. The hosts are very friendly and Tommy Fierro is pretty famous himself. He owns ISPW in New Jersey and has been in the business since he was 17! His store is called “The Wrestling Collector” in New Jersey. If in the area, check it out as I have mentioned it before. He has tons of merch and *LOTS* of things wrestling related. It’s so super cool! They do have a website also… Tommy does 80s and 90s wrestle cons every year with huge turnouts and he also has another local podcast. The other cohost is Jumpin’ Jay and he is a fun guy too who primarily runs the show. Such a great time always.

I will connect with you all next week so enjoy whatever your day brings. Plus, they might do an action figure merchandise episode soon similar to that commercial below. I’ll have to share the story of how my UW figure came to be. I only have one ya know, and that story has been shared and is in my book! 📗 I’ll meet you here back on the mat for my Wednesday writings… 🙋🏻‍♀️🫵🏻

P.S. I just thought of this to add. Tommy and Jay are always so complementary of me every time I call. It’s so heartwarming 🥹 to hear. They want me to call in more often and they say how I know more than I let on. It is true, but if I talked, I would talk forever! 😂😂😂

*** Nattie Neidhart will be signing her new book at Tommy’s store this weekend!

Spiritual Salon Stories 🧡✂️🤍

We are here in this 11th month warriors so happy November! 2025 is almost done, how can that be? The holidays will be in full swing as Thanksgiving approaches for me here in the US. I hope all of you are doing well as you join me today for a few more great stories but first about that pic ⬇️ below . Yes, lately a few are just random that I got from IG but don’t y’all just love seeing Warrior sign those WMVI trunks at an event? He looks so happy and it’s a great shot of him. I’m grateful to whoever took that photo, it’s pretty ultimate. 🥰

So, I am back to bringing some personal experiences but I love those and I hope you gain a little perspective on them in someway. I had mentioned my Hair Salon a few times over the years but today, it’s about the new hairdresser and our similarities. Once more, I meet a woman who like my previous stylist~~~ is spiritual in many aspects. She also works as a massage therapist so I will have to check out that space soon! I guess once some conversations start, we get on a roll and then the match begins. It is amazing and I’m so glad my transition with her has been going well after what happened with the previous stylist. I have been to see her twice now and wow~~~ 😯 such great insights on both ends. Sometimes, I feel like what I do doesn’t matter much or is not making a difference and then I get the validation I need. It truly is a beautiful thing as I wish the same for all of you on your journeys in life.

OK, so yes~~~ she works with crystals and also sages which are things in common with me. We shared a little but then she told me how alone she feels with her practices. Her kids think she’s a witch 🧙 but I told her how we are good witches. She doesn’t like that term as I understand. We don’t know how these words got so twisted around into the negative as most began positively. Other religious cultures changed and evolved overtime but that’s how it started as was easier to believe. Hollywood and the movies took over because really, most everyone loves the scary. This is not a post Halloween message as unfortunately it is true. The good stuff bores folks. Think about it here.

What always comes to mind is aliens. 👽 No, I am not getting off track but I totally can for sure. The only good alien movie is ET. Correct me if I’m wrong. Yes, there are good witch movies too but we need that antagonist always. I have to say this just to add. Glinda in “ The Wizard of Oz” was my favorite character, but Glinda in “ Wicked?” Not so much. I get why they had to make her that way in the modern version but nope, I’ve known too many girls like that. I do love her beginnings though when she truly was a friend to Elphie. I just don’t like all the “popular” vanity stuff. We all are a little vain but some are just too much like Glinda in this modern Wicked movie. I was BORN to love the color PINK 🩷 but my personality echoes Elphaba. No, not being “wicked” but the not fitting in or being different part. I guess I have both! Oh, I’ve always liked green though. It’s on my book cover. I will be seeing “ Wicked for Good” in the theater soon.💚🖤

Back to my stylist here. She went out to say how she was very happy to get matched with me and gave me her number. I was honored how she felt that bond with me enough to share and then listen. I offered hope and compassion as I have been there where she is and still am at times. After a few moments of conversing, she then said this: “ I sense a strong male spirit energy around you.” I will let that sink in for a moment as I need to preface it a little. With this time of year, I do some ancestral work close to the holidays and have been wondering if anyone in my bloodline or DNA ever did this path or felt the same way? I’ve been asking for a feminine guide as more women I believe did certain practices (like “witches”) than men, but who knows? We hear more about the women but in many indigenous cultures~~~ the elders, men, or shamans originated in those rules.

I had shared a little of my request to her but then instead of possibly sensing a woman, she sensed a masculine spirit. So, readers~~~ who do you think I could’ve felt around me? No, I’m not thinking of Warrior at the Hair Salon BUT based on some topics we discussed~~~ it was highly likely. Do I think he wants to hang out there? A no again on this. It might not be the actual, physical place as it’s the words and thoughts that lineup energy. She told me after a bit how truly wonderful my gifts are as I was humbled to receive that compliment. 🥹 Did I believe Warrior’s energy was there with us? For a second I doubted it but then I always believe. I don’t think he’s always at a gym working out either… There are other “places” to be! 😂😂 I do have my own personal ways of trusting and it’s hard to share with you all as you probably know by now. I’m so very sorry but you can infer based on my past posts. I am not naïve and do not just believe in what I think is true. I was a BIG skeptic and doubter for sure but now I know more. They wanna have fun with us where we are!

It’s a great feeling when we are visited by those in spirit (of the good energy) even at some unpredictable moments. Remember years ago when I heard the same song 3️⃣ times in a week and one was at the Hair Salon for a 3️⃣ count? Yep, good vibes there I guess but they know what works for me. Believe as you wish warriors… If you think it’s kooky, well~~~ you’re entitled to that of course. If you have been through what I have, you just might feel another way… 🤷🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

So, those are my stories today. Enjoy your day and bundle up if you were getting the colder weather like us here. Not too bad yet but more is on its way. Go get your hair done, it always works like *MAGIC* for me. 💫🔮

What’s Yours is Mine… Um…🤔😑

Today marks 6️⃣ years exactly ( yep… this number once again) that I had those extreme heart palpitations which led me to the ER that night. I dislike totally remembering but I do because of certain connections like October 29, 2013 when 2K 14 was also released 6️⃣ years before my episode in 2019. Yeah, all that right before Halloween, which is in a few days. Those palpitations took me on such a huge warrior journey~~~ I can never fully share. Just know that it was not medical, but totally spiritual which had to happen~~~ as scary as it was for me. It’s yet another yearly time I mention but it’s worth it on here and really does matter. Trust me on this… 💙

Well, with that being remembered now will get into the title above with an “UM” after. Are you into sharing what you have with others or do you get a little stingy? Warrior always wanted to share his wisdom with many but then would become a little overprotective of his UW character as he should’ve been. You collectors out there, how are you with your merch? Many do sell and make it a business but then some probably are super attached or have those items in mint condition~ never opened but waiting for that ultimate sale.

Little kids come to mind here as I know this all too well. Think about when you were young. When you would receive a new toy, did you let friends play with it or not? If you got something you’d been asking for and was super excited, I bet you wouldn’t share for a while until it wanes somewhat. Hopefully, it still interested you longer than a week! I would tell my littles to let their friends play because in a few hours, they go home and then it was all for them once again. Did that always work? Noooooo but I tried. I did totally understand with this though as now being an adult, I have my own “toys”so to speak.

You all know I’ve referenced crystals and in my room, they are just for me. My daughter sometimes comes in and starts touching them, holding them, or all that. It’s one thing if she is serious about using them for good energy but not when teasing or making light of it all. She usually does not do this but only once in a while and it’s probably just to get me irritated, ha! There are those times we hold on too tightly like I said before and then nobody can share. We need to bring about what we have but then set our limits as to how much or how far to go. We are allowed to have our stuff as many do and it’s great to show it off and then move onto other ideas.

Here’s another point with me in my life here. This new app I use spiritually has been shared a little with you but I won’t get into the details. It is done very well for me and I’m excited to keep going with it. I do have to delete some content as it’s draining my battery and taking up a lot of storage! I’m not over sharing and it isn’t technically “mine,” but is widely used by others. Like I say, do what works for you and leave the rest. Not to worry~~~ it has been a few months with this app and my interest is still very high unlike a child with a new toy.

I haven’t fully referenced the “UM” in my title today. What I mean is that often what you’d like to share isn’t necessarily what another would. Sometimes we should or need to depending on what exactly it is. Then other times, we do not need to share because of issues with privacy, respect, or just a simple NO… So, I guess you can take that however you wish but these other expressions fade overtime. It’s like with kids (once again) of saying: “ children should be seen and not heard.” That is wrong by many standards. I also could’ve said: “ share and share alike.” Another “ UM” for sure as that is also debatable. It is different with adults but similar with our thought processes. In my Zoom group, there are a few that don’t always share as much as others and that’s OK. We are all unique personalities. We can’t force certain connections from some but then others will always dominate and become quite extroverted.

What’s yours is mine can apply to all those characters we come to know in the WWF(E) over the years. We will always have our memories and some have more interest than others. Most fans will agree on the sharing aspect regarding wrestling. This is exactly why there are so many podcasts out there with this long-standing topic and one I of course listen to quite often with those 80s guys. In some ways, it seems endless as some people don’t know when to end their call. I am guilty on some of this!!! It’s all about the subject matter…

For those who knew Warrior personally, their relationship with him can be shared some as many have, including mine. Of course it is NOT in the same way but I write or speak what I CAN regarding my journey in ways that suit me. Hopefully you have learned or are learning more on certain aspects along this path but I do too~~~ every day. My kids even teach me much about this concept of sharing in the modern “techie” world but once again, we choose always. I still crave my alone time like previously mentioned and frequently stated but sometimes it needs to happen in order to gain that peace of mind. I do need to watch my over-sharing in order to get acceptance, respect, or just attention~~~ as we all do. Just remember to do it in the right ways and those may take quite a while to figure out. You’ll notice if it is one over the other as it does come back around in some form. It’s like that balancing act of last week.

Well, warriors ~~~ you get to decide all about that sharing part of your life but just be discerning. There can be consequences as you need to be willing to accept them like Warrior did. That “ UM” might still be there as it will. What’s mine can be yours as we as a society or even fans have much in common. Just put those boundaries in place or recognize them before the lines get too blurred. We can share Ultimate Warrior stories, merch, or even toys when kids but know your limits~~~ that’s your “ UM.”

***To anyone celebrating Halloween, stay safe and have fun. It’s not all about the scary stuff ya know! Just no trips to the ER. Oh, and we already carved our pumpkin before today. That’s what I was doing when my heart stuff started on the 29th…

P.S. Have a BOOtiful and SPOOKtacular Magickal Halloween!

The Balancing Act 🏋🏻‍♀️

How’s it going, warriors? I bring you a young Jim Hellwig in his early bodybuilding years today, but what a balancing act he had trying to figure it all out for his future back then. No black-and-white photo from me in a few years~~~ not counting a banner I used last year near Halloween actually. Warrior certainly was walking that metaphorical tight rope between career choices but we all have those moments right? It doesn’t even have to be quite in that way as my followers know me by now. My journey would be more like having 1 foot in Spirit and 1 on Earth and it can be a challenge balancing it all every day. All of us realistically are this way whether you truly identify with that concept or not. Most of us don’t need to work that scale of balance between fame and a personal life, but we all have other ideas that will tug on our rope.

Here’s a few thoughts of mine that I think you totally can relate with every day, all day. How about these? Who we are on the surface versus who we truly want to be, things we know versus what we share or even don’t share, and even work versus play. We somehow balance them little by little, even though nothing will ever be perfect or even on both sides. That’s just life and we need to believe we are doing the best we can. To circle back to Warrior for a minute, all you skeptics still doubting the spiritual aspect with him~~~ just look up info on your own. His “Destrucity” principles? His first comic book topic? Yep, it’s all there in those and a few other works he put out as it wasn’t just his wrestling career of UW.

None of us has the full proof plan for how to have all our ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆, and it may never happen or at least not happen the way we would like. Life is not a straight line, it’s full of curves and detours. 〰️➰ Let’s always remember what Warrior spoke often and that is once again how it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Yes, we all are heading somewhere but need the experiences and adventures to make it a great life. Some days we seem to have it all together and everything is even keel but then other days~~~ not so much as is life readers. Nobody has the answers and we don’t get them many times but we keep going because we are warriors and that’s what we do.

I’ll take this another way with me regarding balancing and maybe some of you can connect a little. In mentioning the photo today and the next few weeks, I did some research but had to balance my time that afternoon. I wanted a new pics and without seeing some I could use on FB or my collection, I went to Instagram which I had not in a while. I follow a few pages, but haven’t scrolled back through photos of him over the years. There are 3 groups I had seen and 1 didn’t take that long, but the other 2, oh my… 😬 Once I started, I had to finish~~~ you know what I mean? Time just flew by and I will not say how long but it did take over an hour! The scale was tipped with time that day.

As a parent, my life is a constant balancing act~~~ even with these young adult children. It just takes on a new form with them navigating their way through a different chapter once childhood dissipated. With all of us, life is always evolving, shifting, growing, and changing until we leave this planet~~~ even though it may not feel like it. What do you personally feel the need to balance day by day? It may change overtime or remain the same for a bit. How I like to approach it is to truly prioritize what actually needs to get done versus what isn’t necessarily as important. Always make time for those wants too but schedule your activities wisely. I do realize like my IG scrolling how time gets away from us but try to truly commit to a set block and stick to it. Give yourself 10 minutes to meditate (like me…) or 30 minutes to go for a walk, it doesn’t matter. I’m not talking about time spent at a paying job but those other interests we need to have in our lives. Warrior spent time working out, painting, and writing… ✍🏻

Don’t beat yourself up for spending more than enough on something that fills your soul because quite possibly, you were meant to do that. Not everything has to be super scheduled around every minute of our free time. Even if you need a nap, take it without guilt. As a wrestler, Warrior’s routine was very set in place with little time to just be. He tried to carve out some here and there when he’d be alone away from possibly partying or hanging with the guys. We can’t be in 2 places at once doing it all. Yet another reason I would never split holidays. That’s just me though… Some would split let’s say Christmas Day between 2 homes, but how very stressful… If it has to be done OK, but I am grateful it did not and still does not with my family.

Well, warriors~~~ is your scale tipped more to one side than the other today or will it be? Just accept that and begin again tomorrow. You might be in the circus act walking a tight rope or even like a pro wrestler balancing on that top rope *BUT* we always figure it out on the way down. Decide what really matters to you and leave the rest on the arena floor. We will always have things that need our attention in life but we also need to follow those things that want our attention~~~ big difference. I hope you know this. A young bodybuilder had to do just that when starting out on the road to success and we do too, just in the way that works for us. Warrior’s fitness always remained with him as part of his balancing act while other passions faded away. It just might be the same for an area in your life as I know for sure it is with mine. Lighten your load by moving some to the other side of the scale if you can. Work out those compromises and see if it makes a difference.

Your balancing act will always be part of your life. Will you balance, fall, or just walk away? Your choice warriors. If you fall, just don’t submit. Break out of that hold and start again.

*** I’ll be here next week for the end of October!!! Halloween is coming. Get out your 🎭 masks and face paint. 🎨

P.S. BTW to any of you Warrior fans ever wondering this concerning “ Destrucity.” YES… it did totally connect to Buddhism as I thought possibly many posts ago. Not sure if Warrior was ever asked that in any formal interview but believe me on this, it *DOES* relate. I have an “inside scoop” that is very accurate as a source so I can’t fully reveal how I know. It’s so great to finally get that answered… 💙💪🏻🙏🏻
