Expect the Unexpected 🤭😬

Hey warriors! A few little areas to address before jumping off the top rope into today’s topic. First, this date is 8/23/23. I LOVE when numbers line up like that. Last week marked my 333rd post. Oh my goodness, look at those threes! I will take them any day. Another number is 70. That was the Hulkster’s BIG milestone birthday he had a few weeks ago as I forgot to mention it last time. Despite some possible warrior fans having animosity towards him, he is a legend and icon, so should be respected for much. Without his presence in the early days of WWF, us fans never would’ve taken such interest like we did. Sure, there were plenty of others (like The Ultimate Warrior,) but Hulk was the brand and helped propel wrestling into sports entertainment. Was a huge fan of his? No, but I will never take away what he or even others have contributed over time, EVER. Most guys are in their 70s or late 60s now who I followed. What sacrifices they made like I always say to entertain and sustain. I wish him happiness in his new decade.

Last week, we took our son back to college for year two. At least we are better equipped now and possibly won’t have unexpected things our way, but ya never can tell. My daughter starts her senior year of high school in a few days. One football game already done too with a blowout win! How will it be Senior Band night so soon? It seems like two years went by very fast🥹. I do hope there aren’t too many unexpected moments but we need to face them anyways. Let’s bring on the funny times because there’s too much of the negative around.

That pic below was from a segment of “The Brother Love Show.” I LOOOVE this one and glad I got a clear shot. finally of U.W. He turns Brother Love into Sister Love. Talk about an unexpected moment for sure! I remember it so well as often times again, I wonder who’s idea it was? I bet fans weren’t expecting that to happen as well. I love Hot Rod’s commentary with Vince too. So classic and funny to see different “shows” that weren’t too serious. It never gets old to me as I’ve shared some other unexpected times with my daughter and Brother Love antics. Those days will live on in my earlier warrior journey… 💙

Another unexpected moment (at least with my former coworkers of years past) was when I sang to this guy on his birthday. I believe I’ve written this before and it connects here. I had no wig, but sang in my best Marilyn Monroe voice to him all breathy like she did to President Kennedy back in the 60s. I probably shocked about everyone doing that but boy, was it fun! OK, I did wanna prove I could do something out of the ordinary but it got me to build my confidence with a totally new idea. Expect the unexpected once more. Yeah, I was no Marilyn but did it my way! 😳👏🏻

Have you ever done something like that or received something unexpected? I bet you have, and I for sure shared plenty! We do always have those times in our lives on the opposite end when facing a difficult decision or even a health scare. I recently lost a friend of mine to brain cancer. Totally unexpected and so shocking. She was younger than me…😓💔 Looking at her husband and kids was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do emotionally. Yes all that happens too sometimes and we just move forward as only we can. Warrior’s loss was unexpected to fans, but none of us really knows when our time here physically is done. The spiritual journey with him was definitely unexpected in many ways, but my soul knows this path I need to take. How about good stuff? I know of women who were told they’d be unable to have kids and now have several a piece! What about a great job that lined up for you? You can probably think of many more and it can be little things all the time too.

Warrior’s return to WWE was totally unexpected to so many and yet those beautiful days making up that weekend had to happen. Let’s remember the good times and not those unexpected which make us angry, sad, or disappointed. There are way too many of those unfortunate times we shouldn’t always give our attention to so rack your brain for the great stuff to come in. Maybe we’ll win the lottery! The jackpot was HUGE lately and my husband plays often. We need to believe in the good in spite of the negative situations around us. It can be hard to stay positive but we need to check our gear bag for any “foreign objects” that will deter us from getting to that good place in a healthy way. Just because you have done experiences in the past, believe the best is yet to come.

Expecting the unexpected can go both ways warriors but the true test is to turn any unfortunate times into fortunate ones, eventually. Our grit keeps us going so look to the messages Warrior left us for any inspiration you need. You will find answers if you look within yourself, and DO the unexpected. It just might bring up that warrior spirit you were meant to release… ❤️‍🔥

P.S. A few weeks past, I had found 1️⃣0️⃣ blue Jay feathers and a cardinal within a few days! That’s gotta be a record in such a short period of time (: They just make me happy. ☺️I don’t expect them but maybe I should! Manifest the good but release the expectation of HOW…

P.P.S. I called in for the 3rd time ( makes a 3 count!) to “80’s wrestling the podcast.” Their topic was all about the magazines of the day. I shared a funny library story of mine back in high school! If you choose to listen~ I am around the 16:55 mark and I talk for almost 10 min. The hosts are so fun and I love talking to them! ***They go LIVE every Thurs. at 10 A.M. EST here in the U.S. but it is recorded. It is around an hour or so… If you were a fan of the Golden Era of WWF, you will enjoy this podcast! Kinda unexpected again… 😜😂📚

To Walk as Another 👟👢🩵💛

Welcome back to new reading warriors! Well, if you’ve been reading previous posts, I thank you enormously. I guess it’s a welcome back for me then too. Let’s see… 🤔How to get caught up? Wrestling fans know WWE’s annual SummerSlam has happened so we’ll start there. I initially wasn’t planning to use an S.S. related pic of U.W. below but thought to considering the soon to be anniversary. That video was an interview Craig DeGeorge did with the NEW champ until they got interrupted by Jimmy Hart a.k.a. (“the Mouth of the South”) and Honky Tonk Man mad about losing their long held title. Hard to believe that was after the first SummerSlam 3️⃣5️⃣ years ago. I wrote about the 30th… It was technically 36 this year. These milestones yet again. AND, 25 years ago tomorrow marks the Warrior’s debut on WCW’s Nitro show. Another moment to remember.

Speaking of stats, Gunther is STILL WWE’s Intercontinental Champion and is very close to breaking HTM’s long standing record of 454 days. Yep, streaks are meant to be broken and with everything they are doing with Roman, it makes sense. I won’t say for sure, but HTM’s numbers held up all those years until broken by the Ultimate Warrior. Now, it’s Gunther’s turn whether some fans agree or not. I was so used to S.S. being that last week of August, it just crept up on me. I won’t get into all the other results as that is not my topic today…

Let’s move on to this different title of sorts while we walk as another. You’ve heard the expression of walking in another’s shoes but to stick with wrestling gear, we can say boots. I have tried this metaphorically of course as it helps to understand others situations. We may not always agree with what was said or done and cast criticisms around, but look to change the narrative. Would you react or respond in the same way if them? It’s all our free will and choices but until in a very specific circumstance, you can’t fully answer. You probably do KNOW yourself well enough as an adult to realize the limits you won’t break, but do we always? Hmmm… I believe you will say it all depends on what one is going through, right?

I’ll stick to the sport of pro wrestling in particular. Yes, we can and should apply this principle of walking in another’s shoes (or boots) to MANY relationships as it does help with perspective. I’m getting better at this and wrestling is a great example to look at here. Lace up those boots and imagine for just a brief moment that YOU are indeed one of those WWE sports entertainers or SuperStars. It does sound exciting being a character, choosing “face” or “villain,” personal gear, theme music, and all that. There are other working parts too. Like Warrior said: “It is serious. It’s a serious thing to go out there and be a character in the WWE.” He’s right. It can be fun but super risky and you have to be passionate about it for sure. Nobody can take that away from Warrior, ever. Even if you didn’t agree with him at times, you have to admit how his passion ignited the fans to support Ultimate Warrior right from the start.

Boots are hard to fill but if any of you could walk in Warrior’s when he did at THAT time, what would you have done differently? It’s easy for me to type out that question or even to say right away what I would’ve changed. Can I really though? Can you? The pressure is always there within a wrestling business or with our own people in life. Think about walking in another’s shoes for just the day. If you were them, you can make changes but new complications might come your way. Your unique personality and intuition determines how you handle what is thrown at you. I would find myself often imagining thinking of that very idea and honestly, I just can’t answer what I would do until in that moment. Sure, I can make guesses but our emotions take over when we still need that level head too. I’m sure you know people personally who have stressful careers and are faced with huge challenging decisions many times. Take off your shoes and grab another’s. I bet it feels really different in them, doesn’t it?

Social situations will be present our entire lives so we need to be ready when handling them all. Someone else’s tiniest decision can affect us when it shouldn’t but being human, and in our own shoes, it does. The big stuff will bother us more but again, we are not them and they are not us. I know I would make other choices but we still need to respect the ones different from us. To FEEL what they felt, to THINK how they thought, and to DO what they did requires much compassion and grace on our part. Those two words I have used on here plenty. I’m finding it easier to accept when I bring those words into another’s point of view not entirely my own. Those boots might not fit but you can try to see how it is being them and what they were facing. Before you judge, ask yourself to picture what it is like to be the person they are or were. Yes, this can be SO extremely difficult and many times, we don’t want to. You will understand them better as I am learning all the time. I agreed with Warrior on many issues but then other times, I thought differently.

To walk as another involves much from us but sometimes is needed on this journey of ours. We all do life in many ways but need the respect of doing it OUR way. That’s all we want so giving it to others counts too. I hope HTM sees himself back then in Gunther’s boots now. I can only imagine the feelings on his I.C belt streak probably ending. To walk as another and leave a legacy behind. It’s what we come to do.

P.S. U.W. (and Warrior) always walked as himself but as a spirit now, he has a higher perspective.., 😇🙏🏻

P.P.S. You can also look to another and REVERSE roles. Imagine them walking in YOUR shoes. Would they be similar or very different? Just think about that… 🫵🏻❓

Attempt the Impossible💪🏻🫵🏻

August… It is here and I’m not ready. This month is always a CRAZY one for my family and for most that have kids. Yes, it will be back to school later on but panic sometimes sets in for me as time ticks closer to dates which pileup one on top of the other . When it rains, it pours right? We attempt the impossible as Warrior stated down below through one of his many writings from the O.W. N. Archives. I have some saved so finally decided using one today before I break for a week. Yep, it’s time despite us not taking that big family vacation this summer 🏖️although we have done several day trips. I remember last year writing on my 20th wedding anniversary! Having said that, now is a good time to take off before all the busyness begins once again with the start of school. I actually used all my top picks with the “Always Believe” DVD, ( with some extra additions!) but there are others. I had a goal and stuck to it.

Do you attempt the impossible? That does sound very dramatic but coming from Warrior, not so much at all considering the many ways he used those words while living his life. What exactly is impossible for you? Nothing, everything, or maybe you’re in the middle. I keep getting the song “The Impossible Dream” in my head. I wouldn’t be me without a song, right? We all have those dreams we’d like to pursue but sometimes they don’t come true. That’s when we either pursue others or maybe we stick to our original plan but just change the finishing move. I STILL have this one idea that can be attempting the impossible considering factors which need to line up but it’s still there as a dream. We can say “right timing” but sometimes it won’t ever be exactly right. I will go for it anyway as Warrior would do but perhaps the detours slow us down at times.

I never was one to have that crazy, impossible type of dream and some concepts just come to us in other ways we clearly couldn’t have imagined. I’m sure you all know MY story involving this blog, book, and all my Warrior moments. I have attempted the impossible with all those but were they lifelong or from my younger years? Nope. I guess we all need to attempt hard stuff because “nothing’s too hard to do…” from Warrior himself. Sometimes we just go with the flow as my life needs to despite not having that big thing which can be attempting. Yes, we do crave ideas all the time because life creates those challenges that keep us going. I think I have that blank slate or at least right now because nothing is coming to me intuitively that is a huge AHA thing to pursue (besides the one above.) We don’t always have to be chasing as for a bit, rest is necessary. I have little goals all the time but they don’t really feel impossible to me and I’m OK with that. Just because someone else is famous or was like Warrior , you don’t need to be as well. Make sure your attempts are yours and for you, not for another. I still want to get to Hawaii 🏝️in this lifetime, but is it impossible? It does seem that way to me but I will not let that go. That actually has been with me many years as I’m sure lots of you have places you’d love to go that might seem like quite an attempt. Stick to them, don’t tap out.

Like Warrior wrote, we ALL have a great potential and that is to be great at whatever we do and in each day that we do it. The *HOW* is the tricky area and often despite our best efforts, we need to let go of that part of the attempt. When you think of the impossible, I bet most attribute it to physicality. I am not climbing Mount Everest or even running a 10k. Warrior’s Workout I will not attempt either but much credit is given to those who do… 🏋🏻‍♀️ Your potential to attempt can be on a much more deeper level. Maybe it’s to forgive someone which can seem impossible. It can also be to release expectations for how we think some things should go. Yours will look different but it does depend on what is going on in your life at the time. Many issues will be our entire time here but we attempt little feats, which get us closer to reaching that potential. It’s everything warriors. The good and the bad but that can’t stop us for always wanting to attain because that’s not a life at all.

Wrestling fans~~~ what was or is your impossible attempt in the ring to be part of watching? Think about a match you thought to never see, and an athlete go from face to villain ( vice versa,) or even certain aspects of the business that seemed unheard of and then happened. They don’t have to be shocking moments like I’ve written before but just more of a WOW , never saw that coming and it worked. I have many and they are still talked about today. That is how it works in our own lives too with some idea at first being quite impossible and yet with many attempts, it comes to life.

So, what are some of your attempts at the impossible and have you changed your view on them? I’ve never said anything was impossible to myself but it was more like never giving an idea a thought 💡. Maybe I’ve spoken about it being really hard or a challenge but not the word impossible. Guess that wasn’t a word I heard which is a good thing. If anyone had said that word to me, I would for sure prove them wrong but when younger, I didn’t have enough confidence. Now, it’s a different story. If I could share MORE on this journey, you’d pull that word impossible right out as I never felt like I was attempting much at all. Turns out, I was all along only without realizing it then. There’s still so much to know and learn so we must always try as hard as we can to fulfill our own potential. No dream is too big warriors so don’t give up on any of them. That is my wish for all of you, all kids beginning school again soon, and to myself, of course. *** How is my baby a senior already? 🥹 Next time I write, we will be underway in mid -August. Oh, wow… Attempt the impossible and know your potential. Our dreams matter. Thank you Warrior for sharing yours with us. 💙

P.S. NEVER say something is impossible. Overtime, your brain will eventually believe it… Like Warrior also said~ if you say can’t, then you won’t. Same thing…

P.P.S. Here comes the funny as I say “see” ya in a few weeks… My husband and I were having lunch last week and he whips out his phone to play the daily WORDLE. Do any of you know this game? You get 5 chances to guess any 5 letter word. Extremely addicting and very broad based. He and my daughter love it… Well, he had a bunch of letters and was convinced they belonged in certain areas as spaces get used up which leaves you less options. You can do it on your own..

I am better when there are only a few letters left to place. You can ask for clues but we didn’t want to give up this sometimes impossible attempt!!! We tried countless combinations while waiting for our food. I finally believed I had it. I told him to try the word: “ETHOS.” Yep, I was right. Of course. I know that word more from Warrior when describing his character on “The Ultimate Collection” DVD. He mentions not taking the belt off, covering someone with his foot, etc. and how those things fit into the “ethos” of the character. It was dominance, earning respect, his behavior in the ring, and all that.

I was so proud that I guessed the wordle… 🤫🤭 My husband asked me to use it in a sentence. He doesn’t know this word! I couldn’t use Warrior’s but just described another type of “fictional” character while listing their attributes or what makes them, them. It can be our true essence as well… He looked up the definition. Beautiful and spiritual, I’ll take it… I teased him later on while using it another way.. Yeah, am not letting that go so soon… 🥰😉 Oh, the letters needed an S on the end which he couldn’t get. Somehow, my intuition thought of that letter… .

August. It is here and I’m not ready. August..

My Energetic Downloads🪐

Hey there, warriors! How is everyone doing during this last week of July? I hope you are all well and as always, thank you for finding this blog, reading, liking, following, or engaging in any way as it truly means so much to me. ☺️

Before jumping off the ropes for today’s topic, I’ll share why I chose that photo you see of the Ultimate Warrior below. One of his first big-name opponents was the Mighty Hercules whom I referenced before but not in a long time and that was all about mythology. While trying to choose a promo pic, it was this one or another but this one’s date was 6/5/88 while the other was 6/25/88. Both dates I have written about as the 25th was Warrior’s last match in Spain of ’08 plus the wedding anniversary dates of some in my family. From ’88-’08~ 20 years for Warrior on that one. I decided on the 5th and here’s why… * If any of you recall, I shared a P. S. several weeks back that included a dream I had on June 5 of this year. That date is one of my Grandma’s birthdays and she happened to be my godmother as well. She however, was not in the dream but my Grandpa and Dad were. I had to get in the house as the Ultimate Warrior was planning to host SNL that night, huh? I still cannot imagine… 🤭😳 Very interesting how it was her b-day but she was not present. So, I used that photo because of a more personal connection to me and I pushed aside the 6/25 promo. Oh, the 6/5 title is “Normal People” and the 6/25 title is “I won’t let you down.” Yeah, those fit. Now, onto changing the gear bag for the next match.

I’ll preface the more “serious” subject by just bringing a little funny your way. It amused me (some of it) so I hope it does for you too. A few weeks ago, I was walking my dog in one of our favorite areas and we had just headed out. Right before me on the sidewalk was a HUGE hawk 🪶 . I haven’t seen one in such a long while as I just marveled at its beauty. Maybe you don’t but this was a great find and I held onto it the entire time. I’m not a pocket person on these walks as things fall out, blow away, and all that so my hands need to be ready. Picture it: (a.k.a. Sophia from “The Golden Girls”!) me holding the dog leash, my keys, wallet, phone, and now a big hawk feather. Don’t get me started when it’s winter and I am wearing gloves! 😜🧤 It works until the dog poops. I’m always a sight to behold for sure. I step on the leash and put all my stuff down. A few times I walked away without an item! I am more careful nowadays. Of course, with my husband he hands me the leash which is so convenient but very different alone, ha ha. All was going well until almost at the end of our walk.

It was then how I saw another hawk feather, only smaller. As much as I LOVED finding 2, oh man~ how could I carry all this? That day was also when I saw my Energy Healer so how beautiful receiving two hawk feathers which is my spirit animal. At least I have had moments to know this. That began my idea for this energetics downloads topic today. Yes, I always have many but lately, it’s been more to think through. Oh, I did get a 3 count. A Bluejay feather was sticking straight up in the grass like they have before shortly after receiving the hawk ones. 🥰

Those of us with heightened sensitivities need to be extra careful and you may not be one as I am. It’s little things but sometimes we need some extra guidance bringing these to the surface. I can tell when I’m sluggish, depleted, or just a little more aware to what’s going on. It can be a full moon but lots of other cosmic stuff too. Planets in retrograde, yes. Did I used to? Nope or at least I would have no idea. Little did I know how all these electronic upgrades affect me internally. I had a kit recommended to me that I’m still debating upon but guess my systems go a little “bonkers” sometimes. We all have cell phones that are 5G, high speed internet, microwaves, and many other things. The kit will benefit with the EMF’s always everywhere too. It was even told to me how I need to put my phone on speaker when talking as too much “static” gets in my system energetically which is causing much interference. That’s OK, I’m not much of a phone talking kind of girl anyways but this is news to me. I am reminded of Linda McMahon’s HOF induction of Warrior. She mentioned putting him on speaker a few times back in the day… 😉 It does help to explain some oddities so I will follow these suggestions to help myself. This kit will also get me more grounded after dreaming as like I’ve said other times, I wake up exhausted from all that “traveling.” 🥱😴

More spiritual downloads there all the time as our planet🌎 is constantly flooded with new technology, systems, and info, so for empaths it can be super hard processing. Everything is extremely fast paced so bodies have a difficult time managing. At least I have more answers now and can move forward knowing while still deciding. A part of me knows I am sensitive and have accepted much but then the other part freaks out thinking “I am this BAD to need so much extra help?” What’s a girl to do but just continue being the warrior I am with celestial guidance at my side.

Recently, I came across this author who was featured on a spiritual podcast so I decided going to the library to find one of her books was a must. This one is all about our Astro signs and the planets. You may not care about this energetics download, but it truly makes sense to me. It has been quite the fascinating exercise finding out more about my natal chart and you can too. I’ll link a website and her book at the end for any interested. The traits are amazing and if you pursue a little of astrology, you might find some answers too. I have talked about my Virgo and Warrior’s Gemini before but there’s so much more. You can even compare others charts like close people in your life to see similarities. We are all connected and it is for a divine purpose. You can research on your own but it’s been helpful to me ever since my daughter was in 1st grade. Only until a few years back did I start exploring it again. Energetics downloads? Absolutely. However you find or notice yours, just know there are answers if you truly always believe. Feathers, dreams, healing work, books, and all of those are downloads for me. I can’t forget my music ever! Love that too. 😊

P.S. To any out there who FEEL these energies~~~ you are not nuts and are not alone…. ❤️‍🩹

P.P.S. Here is the website to get your *FREE* Astro natal chart if interested. You need your D.O.B., place of birth, time, ( if you don’t know this, you won’t get one of the signs but you will still get others,) and your first name of course.

www.astro.com

* Look for the free astrology chart. You can only enter 2 names until starting over. If this link isn’t accessible here, just Google and you should find it that way… good luck!

* “Use Your Planets Wisely” by Dr. Jennifer Freed. It lists all 3 signs we have PLUS the planets at the time of your birth (: Super cool! ✨☄️💥🌊

The Stories We Tell… 🤫🙄😬

Oh, my yes. The stories we tell, they tell, she tells, he tells, or anybody else tells. I’m bringing wrestling back into this arena for a topic today. First off though, who remembers (yes, you have to be older here!) playing the game of “telephone” as a kid? One person would whisper a saying or phrase in another’s ear, and then it gets passed through the group until the last one says it out loud. If you get it right, super! Most times, it is all mixed up and misunderstood. Then, we have a good laugh but as adults, that isn’t always the case. We will get things off about a story from time to time. Sometimes, it can be a memory loss but other times, it can be to keep our ego in check. We might recall an event different than another but is it because it’s too far in our past or because we want to feel better? If you’re wrong, just own up to it as I am doing but others will not ever or just keep telling that story to not be the “bad guy.”

Sergeant Slaughter didn’t start out as a bad guy (a.k.a. “Razor Ramon”) but then later on, he became one. That photo below depicts Ultimate Warrior shooting one of several Sgt. Slaughter promos before their 1991 “Royal Rumble” match. U.W. fans know all too well what happened but here’s a story that’s been told by Sarge himself. I do like Sarge and so glad he and Warrior had a funny reunion moment backstage at the 2014 HOF but about that match… I recently heard him on “80’s wrestling the podcast” and my~~~ is he quite the storyteller! Very interesting guy to listen to and maybe fans know his version of their R. R. match.

According to Sarge, he had no idea Randy was going to hit U.W. in the head with the “royal” scepter, and knock him out. He claims Warrior wasn’t moving so Sarge went in for the cover, pinned U.W. and became the new champ which set him up to wrestle Hulk at WMVII . OK, I have some discrepancies with that. On “The Ultimate Collection” and “Always Believe” DVD’s , Warrior explains how they came to him (meaning Vince and whoever else,) and said Randy would get him to lose the belt which would then set up for WMVII being Sarge versus Hulk plus the retirement match between Warrior and Randy. Warrior says he liked the idea and didn’t really give it much more thought than that.

I could be naïve when it comes to wrestling “scripts” as guys went rogue from time to time, but REALLY? One would not be told all that when winning a title belt and the BIGGEST one? Vince loved Sarge. Come on Sarge, what’s going on there? He knew he’d be winning, but maybe not getting the pin at that exact moment of Warrior getting knocked out. He tells the story of thinking Randy really clobbered Warrior with that scepter since he used to play baseball so maybe…? 🤔 Was Warrior really knocked unconscious for a bit? I don’t know and don’t believe he ever addressed that in any interview I have seen. Perhaps nobody ever thought to ask Warrior about that. Would Vince just let them be that spontaneous when a title was on the line? Why wouldn’t Sarge know? So many questions. Quite possibly this is a story WWE wants Sarge to tell for dramatic reasons but we all are guilty of these E’s~~~ embellish, exaggerate, and eliminating parts. Yep, it’s true. We might even elaborate, but with me, it’s a good thing.

Maybe in fame, the stories they tell need those E’s to create a ruse with fans keeping them guessing all these years later. I’m not sure, but in real life honesty matters as there are those who still want to always come out looking good. If anyone can correctly tell the REAL story of that 1991 Rumble match, I would love to hear it. Many folks in these wrestling circles just assume without even checking other sources. Maybe Warrior knew more as well but he isn’t here anymore to ask. Sarge is though. It’s a great story but filled with gaps if you ask me.

What stories have you told that maybe got another wondering about the details? I can think of many and most involve my siblings and remembering memories just a little differently. I’m rarely wrong because of my memory as I stated before but sometimes, a few people are WAY off. It bugs me. The wrestling business is filled with tons of stories told. Just watch those “shoot” interviews I’ve mentioned which I don’t anymore . I so wish fans would stop posting when most are against Warrior .UGH! If you’re in a “fan” group, why bother? It just causes weird drama and comments we don’t need despite what happened in the past. People want their “say” though… “The right story is the full story” like Warrior said, but others may disagree on its validity.

We may not share or tell a story in its entirety for many reasons as Warrior might not have either but sometimes, that’s OK. We all have privacy but also details might not matter in a few areas. It all depends. What bothers me is when I have a happy memory and someone doesn’t remember it the same. 😧 That makes me sad but our memories can be selective. It isn’t just when older either. I do hope the Sarge Rumble story will one day be told correctly but until then, I will have my doubts. I don’t share or tell all MY stories either for my own purposes but when I do, it’s me in all honesty. Fame does have its price but it’s too hefty of a price tag for me… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😑

P.S. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had told a story on his series “Young Rock” about a time very early in his career on finally getting a push in the business. Whoever he wrestled that night back as Rocky Maivia,( I forget who…) his opponent told him IN the ring- I believe, how “Rocky” would get his first big win. He had no idea and was shocked at the time to know that. So, it happens am sure and maybe today as well, no clue.. That was NOT for a title though! 

A Little While Longer…🤍🫶🏻

Don’t you just wish sometimes things in our lives could last a little while longer? I can for sure list a BUNCH here and of course there are plenty of big things but I’m thinking more of a smaller scale. Yes, we wish people could be in our lives longer, we wish pets would be with us longer, and maybe some other life memories as well. Those will always be on our minds and in our hearts but without getting too emotional, I am scaling it back some with other thoughts.

Of course fans wanted the Ultimate Warrior to stay in either the WWF(E) and then WCW longer than he did at times but we all have many life moments of our own. Have any of you ever had a summer job that was just for the season? Maybe you returned every year but maybe you didn’t. You might not have liked it but I am thinking happy stuff you wished lasted a little longer. Most go on vacations throughout the year. We get all excited and happy for what’s to come. Once there, the adventures await and fun begins. We soak it all in despite some possible obstacles. When it’s over, you are glad for home sweet home but feel a bit bittersweet because it has ended. I ALWAYS would cry when we’d leave our house or cabin after a stay. Mama was the last one out as usual so I could have my moment. Is this you? 🏡🥲

Perhaps you’re more of a TV watcher. I can be but it all depends. I mentioned my daughter a few weeks back with getting me hooked on a Netflix show, all four seasons. I loved most but then when over, it was a letdown of sorts… I wished it went on a little longer. Movies do that to me too but then there are those where we want it to END so bad. Sometimes, it’s creepy and I just need to see how it all wraps up even though I wasn’t enjoying it. Then there are those movies that are funny yet frustrating where you root for a character to just get a win, any win, so we see that happy ending. That’s kind of like wrestling to me! I remember going with my boyfriend at the time to see “Meet the Parents” in the theater. So aggravating for me yet incredibly funny! I am not a patient girl but thankfully it ended well. They went on to make 2 sequels. My favorite is number 2…

Right now, we are almost done with a reality series. These are so addicting as I’m sure many of you know. I do not watch hardly any but this one show we enjoy and have for years. A few episodes are left as it started in late May. Those months drag by sometimes as they keep us hooked for sure. Once it ends, there won’t be another for a while and as much as I will be glad, there will be that feeling again. Oh, just a little while longer. The suspense gets me. No, it isn’t “American Ninja Warrior!” I’m really not watching that much this season. Books can be the same way. Glad to have read a few good ones lately! How am I reading fiction again? 📚I love an adventure with romance…

Endings will always be everywhere as I say quite often, but we need them to see what’s next. We may like them or we may not but life needs to keep moving. We need to keep moving with it so it’s a good reminder. Some experiences in our lives are so brief like a few weeks or months and then they are over. Warrior’s brief stint in WCW comes to mind which is that photo below. As a parent, I will forever have many experiences with my kids where I wish to hold on just a little while longer. It doesn’t even have to be a tangible thing. It could be a feeling or emotion which got brought to my being. How about looking at photos or remembering special times? Those count too. Sometimes, I can’t believe how my brain stores it all, as it can be a blessing or a curse. There’s Yin/Yang again warriors. Let’s keep the good a little while longer but know it’s all there filed away.

If you could pick something to have just a smidge more, what would you choose? You can’t have them all but as a question, could you decide? I’ll pick the “elephant in the room” here, as of course maybe you will guess. I know, I know. I said small things but this I will add because well~ he’s a part of it. Not as big as an elephant though! Energy? Maybe, yes! Warrior knew his life would more than likely be shorter than most. Often I would wonder about gifting him a little while longer while thinking of a few ideas. If I could, it would be to see both his girls just graduate high school. Yes, he was there in spirit obviously but just being on Earth a little while longer to be part of those memorable times with his girls would be my wish. OK, that would’ve been several more years at the time, but it was always a thought for me just to pick something he wouldn’t want to miss… 🥹🩷🩷

We can’t stop time but let’s see… What could be my smaller idea? It has to be something not involving someone leaving or a sad event. It doesn’t have to be missing out on a milestone either and yet my mind goes there.. I DO wish some dreams would’ve lasted longer with more answers, that’s for sure! I don’t control all that though. 😴😉 So many good ones to choose. I always wish this summer weather would last longer in Ohio but someday warmer, it will. I know! How about a good meal? Don’t we all wish that could last longer? Fun childhood memories come to my mind but again, most for me are about summer. I guess we can’t have those wishes of a little longer happen because our lives would never change. We need it all like I’ve written much. Think about a list of your own.

All of us will wish certain things would last a little while longer but let’s just make the most out of enjoying them all NOW. Be present. Have gratitude. Embrace life. It’s why we’re here… 🤗

P.S. I bet most U.W. fans would’ve wanted his title reigns to last longer, didn’t you? Also, my other wish for Warrior was to see what possible WWE project he’d be part of as an ambassador. Just one…

P.P.S. I’ll make you *LAUGH* here to end today… Yesterday, I heard a couple new songs again while working out. The second one I knew but an oldie and awww💕 moment. Then, it totally shifted opponents with an EXPLICIT song where when asking the name, Alexa bleeped it out again like another time. 🤬Oh boy, those lyrics! When I went to look it up later, I couldn’t find it at all! It has to exist, right? Part of me wanted the song to last a little while longer just to know it more but then a part of me didn’t! It was so funny and these don’t embarrass me anymore, even alone!

🤭🤣 I just laugh hysterically! Thanks Warrior. I KNOW that was him.., If only I could find the song or hear it again…. 😳my, my, my…, 😈

The Ultimate Madness 😳😬

Here we are already in this month of July warriors! 7 months with the year of 7 . Yesterday, marked Independence Day here in the U.S. so plenty of fireworks, parades, and cookouts all over celebrating our country’s birthday. I hope everyone stayed safe and well while remembering our freedoms to never take for granted. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🧨🥳🎆🎇

That pic below is from a promo where the Ultimate Warrior was addressing “Macho King” Randy Savage all about their upcoming WMVII retirement match. I still have two pics left on my phone, but that got interrupted since I had to use one of those promos today. Yes~ I HAD to. This next part is why. One day last week, I had the “Always Believe” DVD out and decided to watch a few promos while beginning my stretches in the living room. I know I have used that face paint of U.W’s before but during one of the many segments about Randy, my DVD stopped and popped out of the player. OK, things happen sometimes~ I get it. Those 15 stitches in the top of his head had to mean something, ha ha! I thought, all right I’ll just try again. Shortly after the promo began once more, I got those “goosies” all over my arms and legs plus the ear ringing. Double signs. Awww, thanks Warrior. I love those Ultimate Madness Randy memories too. Happy tears for me. 🥹💙

This next one details a very brief little dream. Remember how in my P.S. of the previous week I mentioned the 15th anniversary of his last match in Spain? Well, this dream was the night after. I had watched a few YouTube videos commemorating that date, so it manifested with this dream. At least that’s what I felt so I honor it always. In the dream, I was sitting on my couch watching some kind of bio or documentary on Warrior while using the laptop. I rarely use that for such a purpose. Here’s where I am still a little dazed and confused. I vividly recall waking to my alarm at 6:00 AM and getting up to physically turn it off for real. No, it is not right next to my bed and I am glad for this. I need to move or then snooze and we can’t have that. I usually shut it off and lie back down for 5 minutes (or so) and that’s what I tell myself. Well, 15 minutes had passed! That dream happened and I’ll share more in just a few. What I can’t figure out was the timing that early morning. Was that dream going on before 6 and then became continued during those extra 15 minutes I fell back asleep or did it come about before hand? Usually I know but not that time. Hmmm, indeed… Would 15 minutes even matter? 🤔😴

Getting back to some dream details, I can clearly picture seeing a snake 🐍in that bio! Why would THAT be in a show about Warrior? Maybe because he was inducted into the HOF with Jake Roberts in 2014? I don’t know. There’s the whole bit with Jake “helping” Warrior during the Undertaker mess in ’91 so maybe but that was over 30 years ago! Another thought I had was (and fans don’t come my way with a bag of quarters!) but I DID always want to watch the A & E bio on Jake. You U.W. fans can be upset at that but his backstory is incredible and yes, I am unbiased. At least most of the time… Those are my reasons for a snake being in the Warrior doc as our brain takes memories or even our “to do” list along into dreamland. I’m thinking more of the present with Jake’s bio. I can’t remember what else the movie was about but I wanted to share it with the U. W. FB group in the dream. There was not an option to do that as I scrambled around looking for one. I’m not even sure I ever shared it or not. The dream seem to end there but the connectors are odd in a way. I still think U.W. will have an episode of “Most Wanted Treasures” so that could be the thinking as well. Who truly knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t even know if I’d had that dream at all if I never watched those videos about Warrior’s last match. Crazy but I take them all like always. Let’s just keep the snake out of it next time, OK Warrior? It was HUGE too just slithering by…. Ultimate madness again just in a different way.

The last moment I will share is definitely a goodie. I really won’t say ultimate madness on this one and I share A LOT about them being signs. Yes, OK ~~~ I got another Bluejay feather. I’m sure you are tired of me posting on those like my music, but I gotta stress my comfy Warrior reminders so read on or not… My husband and I were walking the dog and this was the night after that crazy snake bio dream. So, all still recent together as I’ll include for another 3 count. The jays do fly around this one area on the street by a pond back-and-forth as I have found a few there before. I just smile as it gets placed in my pocket while checking on it often during the walk. It was ultimate to see and find, as I still keep those. Was it madness though? Nah, but good madness maybe yes! You can believe what you wish as I will do the same. They are talking to me outside now as I type this… ☺️

A“Macho King” promo getting interrupted, an anniversary getting manifested into a weird bio snake dream, 🤭and for the finishing move, getting a Bluejay feather. My ding, ding, ding, 3 count of Warrior connections all within a few days. The ultimate madness comes in many forms as I just keep moving forward to let it all flow in ways just for me. I always believe in ears ringing ( spiritually…) , “goosies” , dreams, feathers, and um- SIGH- snakes!!!

P.S. We were leaving the grocery store the other day getting a few things and in the parking lot, I happened to turn somewhat. I saw this man wearing the red, white, and blue U.W. logo with the mask on his shirt!!! He was celebrating the holiday for sure! I RARELY see any apparel anymore so another ultimate madness moment… I am so glad he was (and IS) a fan!

❤️🤍💙👏🏻

“We Will Survive…” 💪🏻🫵🏻💯

Thanks so much warriors for all the likes, follows, and interest in these writings lately. The numbers have been skyrocketing 🚀 as some posts were written YEARS ago. It truly does mean a lot to me that you the reader are interested or perhaps educated somewhat on this ultimate journey of mine. Even if you are just amused, I thank you… 🥰🫶🏻My immense gratitude goes out to any that feel pulled someway, somehow to my blog. We will survive during all of these crazy times and whatever life throws our way because we are warriors, that’s why.

I’m finally using that pic of Ultimate Warrior below after having it (among a few others) on my phone for months! The timestamp on that one was 3:33 so I love that combination. Another number along with those would literally give me a WOW moment but I’ll take the 3’s anytime . Plus, I wouldn’t see that combo on a clock. 😉🕰️ That was one of the first pics I took after getting the “Always Believe” DVD so now it’s time. It was part of a promo with Mean Gene interviewing one of the ’89 WWF(E) Survivor Series teams of U.W. as captain, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, and The Rockers. They mixed up some tag teams but then not others. The Ultimate Warriors were going up against some in the Heenan Family. So, that led me to a question regarding those S. S. Matchups. I know, right? I haven’t “locked up” in a wrestling mode for several weeks but I’m not waiting until November to talk Survivor Series!

How did Vince and CO. come up with some pairings? Yes, a few “heels” of the Heenan Family makes sense putting together but others are quite interesting to see. I bet some of you have much memorized about these teams or even a few more present ones but I don’t entirely. I do know U.W.’s 1990 team when he was heavyweight champ and ALSO know he won every S.S. he was part of. I love reading and remembering all those great teams but I always wondered about the brainstorming that went on behind the scenes. A few top guys would be captains as I get that but then it’s their team members which could make sense or perhaps can seem a bit odd. They all knew who the victors would be, but we as fans of course would not. Is it based on personalities, skill level, or kind of like a random draw? Did the captains ever pick their teams or was it all assigned? Maybe many of you WWE fans know this but I do not so it takes me to the next point. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What about sports in Phys. Ed. as a kid? I have no idea how it is done today as both mine haven’t taken “gym” since 8th grade but back in the day~ UGH big time. Do any of you remember how it was sort of the same principle of a few captains and then picking who gets on your team? Despite me not being very athletic, I despise this approach. It doesn’t even matter if you’re good at whatever sport you were going to play, someone will be chosen last. I realize we need those moments in life but it still seems so degrading. The teacher picks a few of the “best” athletes and lets them choose the teams. Talk about favoritism and being totally unfair. Not good for a kid’s self-esteem either. If I taught phys ed, I’d make the time to sort through my roster of classes and create the teams myself. I would care less what the other teachers thought. We will always have those degrading moments through life but certainly don’t need the constancy of a reminder every week with our weaknesses. We are survivors though, despite the awkward yet wrong “system.”

There will always be someone “better” at something than us who will get that top spot and sports is all about the competition for sure. Wrestling was and still is even though it’s written ahead of time. The best may or may not be your favorite, but is that why you are a fan? I hope it’s for other reasons and with that picking and choosing always going on, we will still survive, because – well, we love it. This can apply to other sports too ya know. You can cheer on your best player for years but then they either get traded, injured, or perhaps retire. Will you still root for that team or watch that sport? Will you decide to switch it up and find a new favorite or new sport? All up to you as “players” come and go. I bet you still survive though after the initial shock of whatever it is wears off.

Here’s a positive example. When younger, we had a ball field next to our neighbor’s house. Guess nobody had ever built there but us kids on the street used it for softball. ⚾️ I know there is a house sitting on that field now but back then, we loved it as our own. I can’t remember who started it all as plenty of us were around the same age. OK, we did have to split up between batting and fielding, but it worked out. I couldn’t hit very well but I was a pretty good outfielder. Ah~~~ such memories. My best friend had a friend several streets away and they played too. We would go back-and-forth and play against each other. Just a friendly neighborhood competition. It was so fun and yes, disappointment was obvious when a team lost. Us kids and my team though~ we bonded, and became survivors without all the drama. There was never any picking of teams, or seeing who would be in charge, just fun, I know even with little ones, there has to be some direction of course. My husband coached both our kids in summer T-ball when younger.

I’ve never been on a team as an adult where you pick and choose and honestly, don’t want to be. Others can have that sport of choice. Sure, we might play a little basketball or croquet with teams at home but not like it was in school. Nope, never again. So, Survivor Series answers anyone? Let me know if you know more. I will always love that excitement of teams in the WWE but just don’t take me back to those younger days in gym class. I will survive though, always… Yes, LOTS of songs with that word too! Had to sneak that in. 🤭🎼

P.S. Warrior’s 15th anniversary of his last match ever in Spain 🇪🇸 of 2008 was on 6/25. I knew it was late June so glad I found that out.. a little more on that next time but here’s MY connector with that date: My maternal grandparents had that as their wedding date as did my one aunt and uncle ( their oldest daughter) AND a cousin with her husband. They just celebrated 29 years and I was in that wedding! We are the same age…3 anniversaries with the 25th on my Mom’s side… A 3 count!!! 💍💍💍

Our Kinetic Karma 🪐💥💛

It’s the first “official” day of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere today, wow! How is it mid June already? Time is a thief for sure… Aren’t those powerful words above? To be kinetic means actively moving in a dynamic and energizing way. I’m sure you all know about karma as I’ve touched on it briefly here but today, we’re getting a little deeper in. No, not the Taylor Swift song! It is all about consequences that follow actions we either take or we don’t. The cause-and-effect of good and bad or those other labels we put on it all. Kinetically, everything moves through us and then we face what will happen next. It’s all about words we say, actions we take, (like Warrior did in and out of the ring) and both mixed together in a kinetic fashion that brings the karma. Just remember, it can go the opposite way too regarding what we don’t say or do.

People say “karma will collect.” I know Warrior had said that about a few others but they also said it about him. Even though that could be our thoughts, voicing it aloud takes on a whole new meaning. Keep your mouth shut. Zip your lip. We’ve heard those but sometimes we still feel the need to say or do something. There’s always a cost though. That kinetic karma will be there waiting. I share but I’m silent too. I am trying somewhat to do both, but boy is it HARD many times.

Do any of you binge watch Netflix shows or something similar? I do not much at all, but my daughter finds these shows. One I was familiar with as it was around a few years ago now that it aired on national TV. I totally identified with this series and got hooked on it plus the characters. We have watched all the seasons and I am glad I did. Parts of it made me agree and then well~ I wanted to share but would zip my lip. This topic is really close to my heart and I KNOW things. OK, none of us knows everything about the Universe but on this, I’ve had personal experiences and TV will dramatize for sure. I loved some episodes as they tugged at me, but some were just plain kooky. 😊😜I wanted to question as they seemed to use a phrase synonymously with another. This happens, I know but years ago never would it even phase me. Did I speak up when watching? Nope, not really anyway. No bad karma for me as I share with more like minded ones who get it. BTW, there are some words that actually ARE synonymous with another but in this case, ah~~~ nope. Not from what I believe and have felt on my OWN…

Has this happened to you where you feel the need to speak up but then don’t because of other reasons? Is it karma to know? Is it karma to tell? Warrior was never one to shy away from a powerful opinionated (or even factual) discussion but with some areas, they will remain just for a select few because that’s how it has to be. Another example is from a favorite book of mine that I’ve had now for over 8 years. 📗 There is a specific term written that once again years ago wouldn’t have bothered me. Nowadays though, UGH~~~ it does. It shouldn’t but there’s that small part of me that gets this way🤫😬. Many of us use words that really mean something else but perhaps we are just uninformed or uneducated. I cannot fault the source because none of us have all the answers but will I somehow call it out in perhaps this post or social media? I will not. I accept it as is despite knowing differently and good karma can manifest from my non-action. Sorry for the vagueness as the book became quite popular and MANY readers may be aware of it, but just know you can apply this to your situation as well. I know you know you know. 😉

People can and should learn on their own, whether as adults or kids. I mention in my book, Spirit and Belief doing much for my children when little as it was easier to get things done but as time goes by, they need to sometimes fall in order to learn how to get back up. That’s kinetic karma to me just like us grown-ups will know more answers someday. We want the good but then do we fight so hard that the bad might set us up for some unexpected clotheslines? Of course, those actual wrestling moves are all scripted but in “real life” they need to be anticipated too. Our free will factors in with all this kinetic karma but we still can’t control another’s reactions or responses. To have that warrior bold spirit requires so much from us but how far and how much are we willing to risk? Do you cross that line? It all depends, at least for me. Can I share that somewhat famous book title? You bet I could. Can I share that Netflix show’s title? You bet I could. Am I though? Nope, not necessary. My actual title today was almost the name of that Netflix show but then I thought against it . Too many questions I’d have to face whether outwardly or not.

Warrior faced his own kinetic karma just like we all should and will but again, much is your choosing. Our entire lives revolve around this. It’s all about thoughts, words, and actions that get “roped” in together. It’s OK to plan but not everything. It’s OK to be spontaneous but not all the time. Balance warriors as that’s always been the match. You’ll win, you’ll lose (which are lessons learned) but we need it ALL. It’s the angel/ devil complex really😇😈 but a little of both is what we are all made up of. Even me! Believe it. I’m not always angelic. Nope, not at all. How we and others interpret is well, undetermined until it happens. What kind of situations have you tried to balance that kinetic karma with? I am sure too many to name. Warrior could be that “loose cannon” as Mean Gene had said but then again, he was also that introverted thinker. Which one dominates? Circumstances dictate that for sure.

Use your own kinetic karma well warriors but not so much you forget to truly live. You will take it with you to parts unknown. Whatever you put out into this world comes back somehow so do good while fighting that urge to always defend. You will know the karma that’s worth it in the end. 🧨

P.S. I am loyal true and true… If you confide in me, I’ll keep it to myself always and perhaps that act would be reciprocated… There’s good karma. 🤝

P.P.S. AND~~~ the planet Saturn is ALL about karma! Warrior had that as part of his wrist tattoo (: I do know some Astro facts! 🤭😏💡

June Warrior Patriotism 🇺🇸🎂❤️🤍💙

Welcome, my fellow readers! So glad to have you along on this warrior journey of mine always. I’m sure you’ll notice down below, but I have done another first! Can you tell? You have to see the pics. Yes, I said PICS. . . I have never used two photos on here as back when I started, you could only use one. It is very fitting today as it marks Flag Day here in the U.S. and remembering Warrior’s birthday on Friday… My husband and I were walking the dog last week at this nearby park with so much to see. They have added more nature trails and then when we went another way, I saw that granite stone. It was perfect for today’s post as Warrior was so extremely patriotic and President Lincoln? Well, he was one of the best out of our beginnings as a nation and what a beautiful quote with “Old Glory” as well. I just had to include Warrior’s logo too of course.

In honor of that great former President of ours and Flag Day with its June patriotism, here are a few other great quotes by honest Abe.

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”

“And, in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

Those both are so very reflective of Warrior too as am glad I found them. I think they speak volumes and most are familiar with that second one more. Warrior made his years count, despite others possibly disagreeing on how he spent them but he succeeded with virtue and integrity. One might see it all differently but he truly believed in this country’s founding ways and stood by them in lieu of the changing times. I admire anyone willing to stand up while others criticize because one has the ultimate guts to do so. If those Americans back in Lincoln’s day hadn’t done just that, how would our country be? Certainly not free and democratic, although much has evolved.

So, I proudly display my patriotic decor as I said last week but we don’t fly a big flag outdoors anymore. There was a pole drilled into the brick outside our front door before we moved here and we used it often. Several years ago during a big windstorm, somehow it got bent and loosened. It was so hard to believe the power of wind could move that out of brick! We never replaced it, but I have my own little flags displayed. My in-laws house always had a big flag pole in their front yard but it got taken down years ago. The new owner I believe has not put one in its place, but I really wouldn’t know. Do any of you honor our country’s red, white, and blue? I’m sure there are those of you in other countries who have similar days to celebrate also.

Moving ahead a few days, June 16 also has other facts maybe some of you know of. Of course again~ it is National Days here, but there’s something pretty much on every date. June 16 is also National fudge day🍫! Oh my, yes, please!! And, it’s fresh veggies day. 🥦What a combo that would make as I’ll take both. Some international dates for any outside of the U. S. are waterfall 🌊 and World sea turtles day. 🐢 Two other great ones if you ask me. I have many local waterfalls here so will have to remember to spend some time by one on Friday. I just had fudge from our amusement park and veggies we need always. Can’t forget to save those turtles too! My son loved them as a little boy. We always joked how his favorite stuffed one “Timmy” would go to college with him. He also was Andy in the “Toy Story” movies as I balled 😭 watching that scene. I thought that’s gonna be him someday. I still have many of his toys and his sister’s in the attic but that’s getting off track…

Have you ever looked at the calendar with all these “days” listed? I actually DO know one of mine on September 19. It’s “talk like a pirate day.” I loved the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies but really? Nah, the other goodie though is butterscotch pudding day. OK, now we’re talking better! My brother would always tease me about the pirate thing. His favorite show was “Seinfeld”. Look up the puffy shirt Jerry reluctantly agrees to wear. “But, I don’t wanna be a pirate!” ! It’s so funny but unless I’m on a ship with Captain Jack Sparrow, no thanks! Not Captain Hook either. There are many other fun dates as I just laugh at them all. How do people decide on this stuff? 😜😂 Try looking up some on your own. How about your birthday? 

I will take Flag Day, Warrior’s birthday, and a few others to heart on those special days as you patriot Americans or fans of his will do the same. I think I still have some wine to toast him in parts unknown. 🍷Maybe I’ll turn my candle lantern on if any loyal readers know that story. 🕯️ Let’s see~ fudge, waterfalls, veggies, turtles, and all the good rolled into one heartfelt June 16. Thanks for coming to this earth Warrior🥹 as I “fly” my flags in honor of you being so brave to share yourself with the world. 🎆🪽💪🏻

Here’s a funny though I’ll end with today. While working out last week, I asked Alexa to “skip to the next song.” I said out loud ( who knows why?) “I like that song but…” All of a sudden, she starts playing 60’s love songs! Um, WHAT? Maybe my comment of “I like that song” sounded like “play 60’s love songs?!” It was crazy but BOY did I get some good ones. Sonny and Cher, Percy Sledge, Ben E. King, Etta James ( swoon…,💞) Aretha, The Beatles, etc. Oh my goodness… I will have to listen to those again.., Maybe some will get put on my playlist~ one already was. 😉 What a decade! Thanks “Alexa!” 🥰

P.S. To any of you that have forgotten, Lincoln was our 16th president. See? Warrior’s birthday is on a 16th. How about that? 🙏🏻💙🫶🏻🎩

P.P.S. Happy Father’s Day on Sunday to all you Dads of human babies, fur babies, or any other you give that fatherly care to… 👍🫵🏻🧢👔 Enjoy yourself and those you love… 🤗
