I had to use warrior in a title one more time and not just as a 3️⃣ count lately! You will know as these stories play out today. First off though~~~ happy May readers! Month 5, my goodness. Next week, I will be out of town because my family is traveling to the Mohican River in Loudonville, Ohio for a few days. I haven’t been there in years and have never taken the kids. We can’t go in the summer because of their schedules so decided on Mother’s Day for a quick getaway. Possibly more to come on that in a few weeks! This takes the place of my annual week off besides over Christmas so get caught up on your reading if you haven’t yet already… Secondly, I’m wishing all you Mom’s out there a Happy early Mother’s Day in whatever way you do your mothering. I hope you are pampered and spoiled because we deserve it! 🫵🏻🙋🏻♀️💐💖
I’ll just mention the photo today quickly, although it has no real reference with the stories. I saw this of Warrior on the set of his movie 🎥 “Firepower” as “The Swordsman.” Every pic I had seen in my magazine was black and white so I took that color one from media. Not sure if he legally changed his name then when the movie was released as “James Hellwig” is introduced in the opening credits. He is Warrior for my post today but well…keep reading.
The first warrior way is this. I was thinking of signing up for another yoga class soon so then remembered my old stomping grounds in that area close to where I grew up. The owner has 2 studios but I like this one better. I drive two different ways as one route I take there and another I take home. The one I take home is part of the story. Quite possibly, I have brought this up when seeing a rainbow 🌈 on my way back once but there are more details.
Every time I leave the studio, I pass the local high school on purpose, EVERY single time. The reason? Well, their football team’s name? —- you can guess here is – the “Warriors.” To think I almost grew up there but we would not have gone to the public schools for sure. I like to pass the stadium which ironically is called “ James Daly Stadium” with a big “ Warrior” sign attached. James and Warrior- how about that? I did recall James being part of the name but looked it up to be certain. That school was never a rival with my kids as they aren’t in the same division. Can you imagine those games? The Bulldogs vs. the Warriors. Wait, the British Bulldogs ? Ha ha, but isn’t it great still? I also love that route back home for all my library memories., Yes, the history term paper of 35 years ago now but then as time went on, looking for books as a preschool teacher.
Here’s the second warrior way. When my daughter transferred to the local community college, I took her a few times to register, look around, and walk the campus. After that, she was on her own with friends and loves it out there now. Hard to believe her 2nd semester and then also 1st year of college is in the books. Pun intended… Last May, we were prepping for her graduation. 🥹👩🏻🎓 ***Back to the story now. When driving there and getting pretty close, we slowed down by a light. I looked to the left and saw this cute playground area with lots to do. Its name—- “ James Day Park.” OK, I will always remember the way to go now! I could also see an obstacle course with the word “warrior” written nearby. James and Warrior once again as I smiled inside.🫢🥰 Before writing this today, I wanted to make sure I got it all right and then had ANOTHER laugh. It seems they modeled this park after the “ American Ninja Warrior” show which I wrote about years ago and also is in my book: “ Spirit and Belief.” It gets better, just read. They also have an “Unstable” bridge, which is its actual name as part of this obstacle course!!! I would’ve had no idea. Maybe I’ll go and check out that park more someday.
James has a Warrior football stadium and a park with a ninja course. One is Daly and one is Day, what are the odds of the last names being similar? 2️⃣ ways about 1/2 hour from each other but both involving a physical activity. The *REAL* James (a.k.a.- Warrior) would love both. For those unaware, “ Unstable” was the Ultimate Warrior’s WWF theme music and reading that about the bridge in the description was another connecting moment for the story. Oh, my, my~~ what fun to see, read, and know as the college way with my girl~~~ of course is new to me.
I will share a 3rd warrior way even though those 2 above are the main event today. I planned on this as a PS, but it deserves a little more explanation. Every month, I listen to one of my favorite spiritual people on her YouTube channel give an astrology forecast. I know this isn’t for everyone, but keep with me. She draws several cards from an Oracle deck and I follow my few signs but again, it isn’t my entire being. I just take the guidance and see if it fits in my life with what’s going on energetically. I am affected as I’ve stated before, and let me tell you~~~some points are spot on! She was mentioning a certain zodiac sign and I had to pause the video to write it down. Her statement was this: “ a spiritual warrior understands flow and welcomes it in.” OMG! First, yes~ the warrior word or (way right?) once again but she relates the word flow which I also bring up quite often for me and the word welcome, which was my post last week!
It isn’t about fighting a physical battle as a warrior (which I knew already,) but she connected it to within yourself and just going with events as they come without forcing things to happen. Take some action and then let it go. That is SUPER hard for most of us. I totally got her point as some may not * BUT* her using those 3️⃣ words of warrior, flow, and welcome had me hit that pause button. Another warrior way as it will get added to this list… We all have our own paths to take, literally and metaphorically but just remember~~~ yours is yours alone and we’ll all meet together. My warrior way is mine, but you will have one too. You don’t need a park or stadium either. Oh, James (a.k.a. Ultimate Warrior)~~~ thank YOU for showing us all YOUR Warrior way as you will always be that for me… 💙
P.S. I’ll connect with you all in a few weeks!
***Now, go watch “ Firepower” 🔥🗡️ if you have not done so. HA!!! ***I will remember my son’s moment with that word which has been told multiple times but I love it so!!! The entire movie is on YouTube… I won’t spoil it but just wish “ The Swordsman” had a few more lines. He is quite different in that role…
