Welcome to October warriors as another new month is upon us once again. That also means my BIG anniversary week with the blog turning 7 TODAY. Who would’ve guessed it would fall on a Wednesday, but I am happy it has. It began on Monday, then Tuesday, and officially found its home being Warrior Wednesday. How could I ignore that alliteration? I went back to read my very first post titled: ” Why Do This?” It was so brief back then, but I wanted to see if I have stayed true to my beginnings. That post wasn’t too detailed but I have stayed true, really I have. I will always feel the same as when I begin. Why I did this encompasses many reasons that have been said before but it all comes down to the core or root of it all. I’m still humbled and gracious every single day. Every single one. ☺️
My book :“Spirit and Belief” will turn 6️⃣ on the 7th and I will always remember the 8th of this month too. That marks my story of : “The Box” 6 months after Warrior’s passing detailed in the book. It’s over at Amazon and other retailers. I don’t mention it much on here anymore, but I still have copies!!! I can ship (: How are we 6 months away from 10 years?******* I’ll “rope” you back into the present now. That pic below is only the second time I have done a “selfie” with Warrior. You can’t tell but I’m sitting on top of our TV hutch just to get in the shot with him. It was just a fun idea I had with this year of 2023, equaling 7 and Warrior’s name of 7 letters. I felt like it was a mini photo shoot and it turned out pretty good. After all, it is our anniversary of sorts that we share with all you readers. To those who have stuck around, my immense and ULTIMATE thanks. I hope you have been inspired or find a true and genuine reason in reading each week. I am wearing some of my Ultimate Warrior gear today, too! 🥹💖💚
No stats, just gratitude and reflection today. I have so enjoyed this warrior journey as well as sharing it with all of you. Next year has a LOT of emotional numbers while looking ahead to year 8 of these writings in Warrior’s life and in mine but it’s OK to celebrate the now. A shout out also has to go to any new followers as of late. Some of you are not familiar with my earlier posts but geez, have they evolved. It’s all there or even the beginnings are in my book if you feel like taking a trip down memory lane. But like I said earlier, I am to my core still the same just like I wrote 7 years ago. A little more educated with all the WHYS, but very much that heart centered warrior woman I’ve always been. Those posts have evolved into much more details as life tends to go but who knows how this match will end. There’s another first for me while writing today. I usually jot down little notes to prepare or a “working title” but not for year 7’s post. Nope, nothing. I just decided to be spontaneous and write what I wish without looking at a prepared list. Many times have I looked to the side thinking: ” where’s my paper”?
You’ve probably all heard that expression of ” lucky sevens” but I’m not much of a gambler. Sure, I’ve done casino games a few times but not like Las Vegas level. It doesn’t truly interest me besides the beautiful night lights. I guess you can say I’m more of a gambler in other ways like writing about my life here, Warrior’s , and fame. Life is a gamble and sometimes we just roll the dice and take that chance. The number 7 is all about self discovery and spiritual growth so that works well for me~ Warrior too. 7 can be that good luck charm many believe it to be but we need to create our own luck. ☘️ This number is also very religious (if you follow) so lots of significance in that area too.
2016 was a huge year for me and it started long before this blog’s inception. Meditation, dreams, feathers, music, and so MANY more signs made that year truly ultimate as little did I know back then. Always such mixed emotions for sure. Some days I look back and simply CANNOT believe what I wrote at all but then there are those moments where I say: “F*CK it, it’s all me!” They can take it or leave it. Believe at your own risk. I’m not after the fame, money, or followers, although I LOVE if you are interested! I’m also not over defending myself anymore either like I used to. I’m still very passionate and intense about these writings, don’t get me wrong~~~ but it’s my “normal” like an extension of myself.
If you also want to connect in another way, search up the YouTube channel under my name at:
@kathypickett1527. Look for the Bluejay feather. I haven’t done any videos in such a while, I just lose track so sorry to loyal followers! There’s some great ones I have on Warrior, hard to believe it was started 6 years ago in 2017. I still remember my one sister commenting to me on the very first video I made plugging the NEW blog. She said how relaxed I seemed and not nervous at all. That meant quite a lot as it felt natural to me. I did NOT start that channel because of Warrior’s past with YouTube. My daughter was getting into videos at that time and it inspired me to start my own. Oh boy, there I go defending like I said I don’t do, UGH!!! Well, that’s OK. It’s fun to reminisce just a little.
Happy 7️⃣th anniversary warrior writings but 6️⃣ to my book too. Just for fun, I looked up the gifts for a 7th anniversary. It doesn’t just have to be for a wedding… They are copper and wool. Copper represents prosperity and fortune while wool is warm and secure. Wool can be itchy to me, but I’ll take it. There’s a joke in there…. I’m not sharing it but had to break for a laugh! 😂🤭😬I can be BAD at times, he-he…. Thank you all for any support as 7 might not be a big deal to some but it is to me. Never could I have guessed this would continue. Thank you *******WARRIOR for your inspiration, loyalty, honesty, and so many many more spiritual hugs from up in parts unknown. I am ultimately humbled in every way.
P.S. STILL popular with viewers:
“Back to Warrior’s Machete.”
“The Mysterious Batteries.” ( this is in my book! 🔋🔋)
“Family Business Banter.”
“Disciplines of Destrucity.”
I LOVE them all!!!
P.P.S. How about this? We went to see our girl in a Band Festival last Sat. and I decided to wear my Warrior totem necklace, just because… Had NO idea 2 bands were called “Warriors!” Before they performed, I heard that ringing in my ears!!! 🎼🥰👂🏻
