My Psychic Visit 💙🙏🏻💖

O.K. Settle down naysayers… Don’t let this title overwhelm you warriors. I am sure there are skeptics out there regarding psychics and you have every right to be. My visit came about as a result of knowing this friend for a few years and also after many months of inner work. I am not nor will I ever be someone to just sit with a psychic medium at a fair, mall, or other event on a whim. This was a personal private session at her house.

I decided to finally make an appointment with her but only after some conditions could be met in my mind. You should consider these as well if wanting to visit a psychic on your own. First, I believe trust is so important and doing this without that wouldn’t work for me. Second, you need to become detached to any information or possible outcomes. This is so hard but a challenge for me considering my main reason in seeing her. You fans will know. Yes, it did mostly involve Warrior. Remember though, we always have free will and spirits will not tell you what to do. It’s all about guidance or “nudges.”

Psychic mediums aren’t for predictions in the way some think but many believe that to be the reason in sitting with one. You need to use your own intuition and interpret messages in the way that works for you. Some ask about relationships, health, love, money, or a career but I wasn’t. At least not really. Some may even need to piece together a puzzle with clues possibly meant for another. You need to figure that out yourself.

Even though I had some past spirit visit dreams with others, never would I have pursued this without Warrior’s passing. Never. The reasons were more clear to me than ever before. Anyone can connect in spirit to passed loved ones or those you have a connection with. It’s all about your believing mind with right intentions. I never doubt messages from those in spirit. They only have your best interests at heart and never lie. Most fans will know how honest Warrior was and still is!

Messages from a spirit to a medium can be crystal clear information or just bits and pieces. You must be open-minded and relaxed. Before my appointment with her, I wasn’t feeling too well at all. It was nothing contagious and I really wasn’t that nervous. She validated my spiritual energy and symptoms as I was in such awe. I had sat with a few others before ( not on a whim) who read cards but never just my energy and possibly connecting with those in spirit. My paternal Grandmother and father -in-law both had messages for me but then it was Warrior’s turn.

I was so patient as she proceeded asking about the man in my book (Spirit and Belief.) My friend knows a little of my background but not much. Once I said yes, she wanted to know his name. I told her he had it legally changed to Warrior but she saw a letter “J” in her mind. I kept thinking Jim and then she related how he was saying “James.” There was someone else with him identified as “Joe” but I am not aware of this name. It could be his Dad or Grandpa? I’m not sure.., Just a guess…

Tears came for me then as he proceeded to work thru her. He related to being “a great big giant.” I laughed thinking of Andre the Giant but Warrior and I do have quite the height difference. I am only 5’2″. He also said “military school” but all I could think of was how active the WWE has always been with the military. She agreed that was probably the connector. Warrior always supported the military and our veterans.

He shared how proud he is of the book while I am continuing his legacy. I was told to keep writing my blogs too. She heard the word “feathers” and saw an image of a goose. Warrior’s main signs for me are sending feathers and giving me goosebumps– A LOT! I have other signs but those remain a huge influence.

She told me some more information about him and I but it is extremely personal. Let’s just say a lot more makes sense now and validation was deeply evident spiritually in my life. You may not believe or possibly think she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. I assure you she knew nothing if very little about my connection with Warrior. She has not read the book but does know about my blogs.

The very specific things she told me were incredibly unbelievable and I was completely overwhelmed in a different way. She revealed much more about my journey than I ever imagined. She even stated how I passed in a previous life. This is another belief but it totally resonated with me. I had to do some extra research as some terms she said were new to my understanding. My spiritual life is so heart centered and my purpose remains the same. To educate and inspire just like Warrior did with many fans over the years is what I need to keep doing. I am doing it in the way that works for me.

This isn’t to share my psychic visit in a bragging way at all. I am not a person to ask for help as some may know. You can connect to loved ones in spirit with or without a psychic. She barely even charged me as some will overcharge and prove to be not genuine. My friend has been doing this most of her adult life and even has had gifts since childhood. Her credentials speak volumes. Warrior knew of my plan to see her and a third party sometimes works well as they are gifted in many ways.

It was beautiful and amazing all at once. She also knew some specific details about my car accident over 19 years ago. I hadn’t said any real information but she described images. I have blogged about that accident on both. I even began a new healthy detox regimen which is working well. We could all use more organics!

I am linking my YouTube video on this visit as some prefer watching and listening over reading. It is all your choice warriors if visiting a psychic is right for you. Just think it through first. If you want to go on a whim, that’s up to you. Psychic mediums get a bad rap sometimes but if you do the work first, research a little, and release fears to trust, the guidance will be ultimately yours. Mine was so humbling since in James I will always believe…..

City Warriors or Country Warriors?

Do any of you remember this classic children’s book of The City Mouse and the Country Mouse? Many years ago, I bought this nice collection of books from a preschool fundraiser. My kids are teens now but Mama loves books and ya gotta keep the classics~~ right warriors? With winter fast approaching and the Holidays coming, this thought came to mind. I live in the Midwest only one state away where Warrior grew up. That’s a chapter in my book Spirit and Belief.

I am not a cold weather person and also prefer one of those geographic locations listed above. Can you guess? The country mouse suits me better. Preferably out west. The Warrior Family made their home in New Mexico but up in the mountains, you’ll still find snow. Warrior obviously preferred more of a country lifestyle with warmer temperatures as I hope to move someday also.

We are not far from our downtown but all the crowds, traffic, and noise just isn’t for me. If you read last week’s post, you might have an idea. I just get anxiety but prefer more solitude and SPACE. We do have some acreage between neighbors so owning land is a must. One day I’ll get to see a sunrise or sunset without it being blocked by trees. I can drive somewhere but it isn’t the same thing. It’s beautiful no matter where you live but the country atmosphere brings calm and peace. It could bring boredom to some but we do need to improvise.

Sure, sometimes I do like to be around a bustling event in the city but at the end of a day, the country mouse would be me. Even though Warrior resided in a few big cities throughout his career, the country aspects fit him more. We are the same in that regard. There are positives and negatives to both but if you had to choose, which would it be for you?

Most that live and stay in one over the other don’t know a difference. They can’t imagine being anywhere else. I’ve never specifically lived in either as we are in the suburbs but visiting both– yes. Warrior spent most of his younger years near farms, went to cities, and then settled in the desert or at least outside the area. Not quite the same as Indiana but closer than the big city. Sometimes we are too isolated so the middle works best. It’s all in the balance warriors.

I’d also like to really see NYC up close one day. Driving around the area isn’t the same but living there– NO WAY! It’s kinda like L.A. Too much city for me but I loved our vacation out there a few summers ago. We all have our preferences for living versus visiting but always know deep down what works for our life. Have you visited someone like the mice in the story and couldn’t wait to come home? We’re all the same.

I’ve mentioned things we like before and this can be one of them. Sometimes we won’t have a choice and have to live somewhere we don’t really want to be. All of us need to be grateful for where we are and always look to the good. If you are able to move, great. If not, appreciate all around you anyway. Some want a slower pace as they age and need to relocate. Some will live their entire lives in one place. Wherever you are, just make it home to you. I’m an outdoor person too and love the summer but when that isn’t happening, I make different plans~~ temporary as they may seem.

City warriors or country warriors makes no difference. As long as you are happy or at least try to be. It’s all about the feelings, remember? We know our likes and some never change. This is one for me that never will and there are reasons why. You’ll know yours too.

Take a trip, travel, visit, or whatever you like but know where your heart lives. The city or country becomes what you make it. Even though I am not out west ( just yet!) I make my country vibe here. Whichever mouse you are warriors, know it is part of you always. Warrior knew his place and I know mine. Find your place warriors with or without the Holidays. Be that content mouse right where you belong.

Warriors Step Out of Time

I had the pleasure recently of presenting a workshop on intuition and my warrior self had to awaken for this one! Over a year ago, I received a woman’s name at another library book conference. She hosts this series monthly at a downtown library. It involves many aspects of spirituality, meditation, intuition, aromatherapy, and more. I was so excited to finally bring more life to this topic.

The date I chose was November 14th. There were others but this one is in my book Spirit and Belief.

That was the last time I saw the Ultimate Warrior on T.V. as part of the Ultimate Maniacs with Randy Savage. Of course I picked this date, how could I not? 😉Well, it took me MUCH longer to get there than expected since tons of traffic congests certain highway exits. Plus, there was a football game that night. Ugh! I really was crunched for time.

When I finally arrived, no parking lot could be seen. Guess libraries that are almost 100 years old only have street parking. Circling around a bit made time pass more quickly as I finally parked in a nearby school lot. I felt like the Ultimate Warrior himself running just to get there! The doors opened and I made it with one minute to spare. 😬

I am not a late person EVER so this was unacceptable to me. Feeling flustered doesn’t do me any good. Once I’d begin, things would move along, right? Somewhat but not so much. This group had little interest in my story of intuition and many just wanted a random checklist. They asked questions such as: “What do you mean about feathers as a sign of following intuition?” “How do you journal?” “What’s a blog?” “Wait, you communicate with someone in spirit?” All questions I wasn’t prepared for or even expecting at all.

I kept my composure and did explain ways to increase intuitive abilities but some just wanted an internet answer that I couldn’t provide. I did my best, shared what works for me, and still remained open to inspiring any way I could. In hindsight, if I had more time I could’ve asked more questions to the group about their expectations that night but it wasn’t meant to be for some. Such a minor challenge compared to many Warrior faced over the years! This event frustrated me for sure but I always like to remain positive. That’s what any warrior must do.

Warrior had so many firsts in his life and this night had many for me. The good aspects ( despite the long drive in traffic) were very exciting. I got to lead a presentation with more present than before, discuss intuition in a new way, and also led a meditation which worked out very well. One man bought my book and wants me to return to discuss being ” a warrior.” That made my night (: I brought along some crystals I love and gave everyone present an angel card to use before meditation. It was just a simple visualization to imagine being in a place you love. I hope it brought them some peace. Such a learning experience for sure…

How do you use your intuition warriors? Do you follow that “gut instinct” like you should. Warrior did and I am too. Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do but I’ll tell you what I told the group. Intuition is what you FEEL and what your heart tells you. It isn’t the logical mind all the time but the emotions. We do need all three– head, heart, and gut and always that balance everyday. Remember that three count warriors!

Some didn’t like my ideas about intuition but you need to focus your energy on what you’d like to try. It isn’t the same for us all. Taking “A Step Out of Time” allowed me to see people that are still uneducated looking for answers. I hope I helped on their journey as they continue. November 14 is special to me in several ways and now I have a new date in time to remember.

The man who bought my book was so positive. ( and not just for that reason!) He wants to explore this more and agreed with me about intuition. It is not truly found in a book, online, or anywhere else but inside YOU. Nobody can give you the answers but yourself. Tips– yes but you run the show. I sign my books with: “May you always follow your intuition.” That is my wish for you. Without me listening to my heart a few years back, I wouldn’t have these opportunities or be writing to you all now. ~~~ Intuition will come, you just have to listen and FEEL. 💙🙏🏻

What Do YOU Want warriors?

I guess this question is so broad but for some of you warriors, it can be easy. We all want the same basic things really. A good life, love, health, family, happiness, a career, a great place to live, and all that. Once you attain those goals, then what? Are you satisfied or do you crave more? Money can buy you some things but it won’t lead to true happiness. Warrior said that the richest people in the world are the most unhappy. Why is that when they probably have everything they want, right?

Wrong. That’s just stuff. We need to feel good about ourselves first and then all the wants will come afterwards. However you go for what you want, FEEL good about it first. Take those actions the way that works for you, not how someone else dictates. Be true to YOU! Think about how Warrior approached his character in the WWE. If you aren’t familiar, he had detours before he got there but wanted to succeed the way that worked for him despite naysayers.

There is no right or wrong way to achieve what you want. The way to go is entirely up to your vision of attaining your goals. Always will there be those who question the whys of your path but with deep conviction as warriors, we stay on it. Why do we not cave? Because we are warriors, that’s why.

My choices get questioned often when not fully embracing the “business side” of being a spiritual coach or entrepreneur. I found this woman online who promised me an extra $10,000 a month and hundreds of clients if I’d work with her and do it her way. Realistically, she could not guarantee those numbers at all and seemed shocked that I turned her down. After a few lengthy emails, I realized what a fraud she was and so relieved not to be duped. The money sounds great and could help my family but that isn’t how I want to influence people. Getting paid for a service or product– yes, but it isn’t the amount of money that appeals to me.

I will be a coach the best way to others in how to get my messages out there. Then, things happen. This is similar to Warrior not wanting a belt like I’ve said before. Many could not understand that either. Our way doesn’t have to be accepted or liked, just respected. Warrior wanted his character to find success in other ways just like he did later in life. He could’ve stayed in the business of wrestling and had tons more money or recognition but he didn’t.

We follow our passions and pursue them from a place of feeling first. Most of us get this wrong. We think that once we get everything we want, then we’ll truly be happy. No, warriors it’s the opposite. If you feel good with positivity, confidence, and trusting yourself, then those goals become a reality. You will achieve your dreams if you change your mindset to this new way of thinking.

We are trained to be better, to do more, get ahead, and compete in society. The truth is that we need to be grateful for what we do have and sit with it for a while. You can plan like I’ve mentioned before but sometimes becoming reflective is a must. Our hearts and minds need to slow down and be present in each moment. We are always in a rush, crossing off those “to-do” lists, and crushing goals is great. It is also o.k. to do nothing for a bit. I had personal and professional ideas that I did accomplish but again, then what?

I am learning to not always go, go, go and appreciate all the little things first. We have all done things in life that get overlooked so the question remains of what do YOU want warriors? I for one know what I want, I already have so then anything extra that comes is a bonus.

Whatever your answer is to that question warriors– really think about it. What you want is already inside you like Warrior himself always said. Go for it but honor yourself by feeling good first. The stuff doesn’t matter as much as the FEELING behind it does. The passions of the heart are worth more than any dollar amount always. 💙👏🏻🙏🏻

P.S. The photo of Warrior above was at the end of The Ultimate Collection DVD where he says how he “has lived up to the man named Warrior.”

P.P.S. For anyone stuck on this watch “Live Up to Your Means” by Warrior. *** Beware of some FOUL language! *** (4:55 in length)

Be Spontaneous warriors

*** This post is a few days early as I have some other important matters coming up…

Are you spontaneous warriors or are you more of a planner? Perhaps you are both. I’m always about a balance but am sure you know your traits by now. I myself am more of a planner like Warrior was ( and still is!) but spontaneity sneaks in too sometimes. Some feel being spontaneous is ultimately freeing while to some it feels like all will go wrong. Hmmm, which is it?

I’ll share a few little positives about being spontaneous. This story is in my book Spirit and Belief and I did blog it a few years back. It’s a perfect example so I’ll abbreviate just a little. Back in 2016, many dreams started coming and one was about Warrior’s wife Dana. I decided on a whim to contact her on the website and did right before a yoga class. When I returned, an email was waiting for me in my inbox from Dana! I was floored and totally stunned. Am sure she wouldn’t do this today.

That printed email sits proudly on my dresser where I can read it everyday. That was being spontaneous with a great result. O.K., maybe not totally but I did it without any expectations at all.

Even though much of pro-wrestling is scripted, some things of course are not. They never know what the crowd will say or do. The athletes in the ring may respond or maybe they won’t. When The Ultimate Warrior insulted Hulk Hogan on an episode of WCW’s Nitro back in August 1998, spontaneity brought much fun. At least it was for me. Warrior began a speech and the crowd started chanting: “Hogan Sucks!” many times. He silenced them by raising his hand and saying: “Let’s talk about something he doesn’t know!” To think some people didn’t see Warrior’s funny side. I did and it worked.

We do need both and even if a spontaneous action doesn’t work, at least you can say you went for it anyway. You can’t always fully plan everything and we need the unexpected moments too. That WCW episode also had Warrior referencing the man behind Hogan as his “barber.” It was Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake but I didn’t know then. He later became “The Disciple” as part of the NWO storyline involving Warrior. No idea if they all knew Warrior was planning that comment but it’s a reaction that becomes spontaneous. Those responses can lead to much humor.

Can you think of a spontaneous moment in your life that worked? I bet you can if you try hard enough. Just because it might’ve failed, keep that spontaneity since it helps us stay balanced. Some life decisions have to be carefully thought out and planned as am sure you know. We can’t just run around amuck without any direction or guidance. Warrior referenced this as Eric Bischoff wanted the WCW to be spontaneous but it wasn’t working too well. Nowadays, no one can even just crash at a hotel for the night before making a reservation ahead of time.

If we’re too cautious, opportunities may pass us by but if we plan everything, the fun goes away. I’m not saying to take too many leaps of faith here but just small ones on occasion. If I never would’ve agreed to be set up on a blind date with my husband, we may never have met. The same can be said about Dana meeting Warrior. Sure, she wanted to get her resume out there but wasn’t intimidated by him and took that chance at his gym. These encounters might have bombed for both of us but they didn’t. Even if they did, I would never abandon taking a chance with spontaneity and am sure Dana wouldn’t either.

It’s all in your mindset warriors. Some decisions can’t be undone and may have bad results because of spontaneity. Those are lessons learned which make us stronger for the next time. As warriors, it can be a challenge since we get fixated on how it needs to be. It isn’t all or nothing even though it may seem that way,

Warrior was an extreme person and planned many aspects on how he wanted his life to go. There were “bumps” along the way but there were also moments of spontaneity– rare as it was. I wanted to find some old WWF bloopers with him but couldn’t find any! Sure, there are plenty of videos out there that are extremely funny but very few moments with him. Some former wrestlers have discussed his humor so it does exist! If anyone has some, let me know since I’d love to see them. Dana has also mentioned his silliness so I always loved hearing those stories as well.

Be spontaneous warriors even just sometimes. You’ll have good antics to share and it’ll bring out your funny side. 😂😜 We need planning but the fun needs to be part of that tag team too! Warrior has given me some funny spontaneous moments as a spirit and he knows my humor by now. Find that balance to work for you warriors and always believe in spontaneity. Just not ALL the time… 😉

The Lion King 🦁💪🏻💙

“It’s enough for this restless warrior just to be with you.”

~~ Can You Feel the Love Tonight

~~ The Lion King, 1994, Elton John

Can you believe this movie was first released by Disney 25 years ago? With that milestone, the Broadway musical came to my hometown along with releasing a live action movie this past summer. The Lion King has always been one of my favorite Disney animated cartoons of the more modern era. Once I saw it would be here in August around our anniversary, I bought us tickets!

I remember going to the theater with my mom and sister back in ’94. There was such silence after Mufasa died as this little boy said: “Is he dead?” Oh, the memories.. I hope that boy liked the end. Guess who else loved this movie? That’s right– Warrior himself! Yes, I know the word warrior is in that song up above but not a clue on his personal pics for movies.

He mentioned this in one of his many YouTube videos but I can’t remember which one! Trust me on this or I wouldn’t have a story. The musical was ultimately spectacular and we loved it. Of course it isn’t identical to the animated version as some newer songs were added. If you do get the chance to see it, PLEASE go!You won’t be disappointed.

This theater was packed and I did get a little smile as that song played– the restless warrior is so true indeed. Shortly after that, my right ear started ringing REALLY LOUD. I had to cup my hand over it to hear better. That is one of my spiritual signs and in that loud theater, I heard it. Was Warrior there and acknowledging this performance? I always believe. After all, he loved The Lion King too so it’s only natural for him to attend. (: Spirits like to be part of our fun events too but we were there for our anniversary! It was technically the next day but humor struck again.., 😳

After intermission, we decided to stand for the second act. Our knees were buckling and I needed to stretch my legs badly. We found spaces in the back behind the last row where the ushers stood. I was on the aisle and had much more room. Shortly after the first few dramatic scenes, goosebumps filled my arms and legs. Yep, another sign yet again, WOW! Warrior WAS there since that’s a biggie with him. Ever so slowly, I inched a little to my right so there was a spot for him. He can stand next to me and my husband– how cool!!

Some of you probably think I’m a little nutty here and I respect that. I wasn’t sure to even share this as it concerns my husband but how do I not recognize the obvious signs from Warrior? No way could I ignore them. I’d want to go down as a spirit too! It was so incredible knowing we had yet another “like” in common.

I never even questioned those signs at all since they are quite common for me. Even if you aren’t in touch with spiritual vibes, we should always learn something new as much as we can. Warrior said this many times. I know I do everyday. That stone in the photo is one of my new crystals. I loved it right away after picking it up from a giant barrel at a recent Healing Expo. It’s a Botswana Agate. There are many agates but this one is native to Africa. Don’t you love the colors?

How perfect for me to find that since The Lion King is gee… about Africa! Also, I’ve mentioned bloodstone before as being a “warrior stone” but let me share this about my new agate:

“Strength of a warrior, aids in protection.” (during battle)~~ We can use the battle to mean many things besides a physical war but again NO IDEA about this African Botswana Agate Stone. I know how to pick ‘um, don’t I? It really is enough for my restless warrior just to be with me. I really always feel the love with or without stones or ya know– a big ‘ol musical…

P.S. My favorite Lion King song is:

“I Just Can’t Wait to be King.” It’s so fun with those two young lion cubs. How about some lyrics?:

“I’m gonna be the main event…”

“Free to run around…”

“Free to do it all my way.”

“Everywhere you look I’m standing in the spotlight!”

Ummm… sounds kinda like someone I know, 😉 Some people didn’t want to be “King of the Ring” though…. 👏🏻👑🤼‍♂️

Longevity’s Long Life

If you’ve been with me on this journey, you know how important longevity is by now. I have a similar post mixing in with CORE values on my other site where you can find more ideas here:

www.spiritandbelief.com~~ that idea was posted last week 10/14/19.

I bet all of you have favorite stuff. Ya know– foods, T.V. shows, holidays, performers, a color perhaps… Please tell me you have a few? Some things we might outgrow or modify somewhat but then there are those that remain. How about values you admire? You probably know where I’m headed on this one.

Let me share a little experiment I did a few years back. After Warrior passed– many months in made me realize things needed to improve emotionally for me. I questioned the intense grief like I mentioned but knew moving past it was my best option. I had to go thru it to get beyond. I literally remember for several days in a row waking up, undoing the covers, putting my feet on the floor, and saying: “Today’s the day, yep this is it. From now on I won’t be interested in exploring my feelings anymore or seeing where they could go. I won’t want to watch the DVD any longer or look at the book, YouTube videos, nothing. Yes, siree Warrior will remain in my heart but my emotions are done.” This went on for about a week.

Guess what? I didn’t work– as you probably can tell… Maybe I needed more time? Maybe the shock was still there? Sure, I loved my memories but they aren’t part of my life, are they? Psst… they still are and always will remain. Of course I didn’t HAVE to do those things associated with him but I felt intuition always slamming me down to the mat in a way. I finally figured out the why.

Longevity=Core Values. That’s it warriors. Have you ever done my experiment with something in your life? I compared it on my other blog to pizza ( sounds simple…) Would you wake up one day and just decide to not like pizza anymore? NOPE. ( sub pizza for whatever you wish) O.K., maybe you want to eat healthier or have other toppings but I gotta say that developing a dislike similar is a rarity. It could happen but your “reasons” get squashed with true feelings.

What attributes or traits make up longevity and core values to you? Even when you were a kid and it’s still in your life, it counts. Some stuff leaves, comes back, and you feel the same. Maybe you’re thinking how in the world can pizza compare to a person? Good question… It’s ALL part of what makes YOU who YOU are. Alright, you don’t value pizza like a person but is it part of your longevity? You bet it is! Can things change? Sure they can but you always have the choice to decide that yourself.

I won’t detail all the longevity lists Warrior and I have as you can archive my many previous posts. 😉 Also, I have a Pros/Cons Warrior List youtube video if you want to check that out on my channel. 💙 The truth is IT DOES MATTER like he always said. You need to be the one to figure out why. Even with smaller ideas and everything you’re drawn to since people, places, and things makes no difference.

***If you decide something or someone no longer serves a purpose in your life, let it or them go. If they no longer impact or inspire you, they are not part of your vast longevity or core.

Kids never question their interests as this topic has kinda been brought up before. It just needs to be more specific with the whys and most of us don’t do that. Who has time for this? I knew some similarities with Warrior and myself but always went deeper. I am so glad I did or these writings wouldn’t exist nor would my book or anything connected. We all need to do this with things that truly matter to us. You can ask yourself the pizza questions but then go further. It can be quite the eye-opener and perhaps even FUN if you allow it to be!

Longevity and core values will have a long life if you continue to follow your beliefs always. Like attracts like and we are guided by what interests us. Sometimes we may not see the bigger picture at first but then it will come together. OWN your longevity and fight like a warrior for it! You can create it, nurture it, watch it grow, and make it YOU. I am proud to list my many qualities of longevity and without a doubt know that Warrior will always be part of my CORE. It DOES Matter..,

P.S. Here are some of my Longevity or Core things: music, flowers, the color pink, summer, swimming, biking, reading, writing!, fitness, time alone, coffee, nature, and many more! ** Of course vivid dreaming, and spirituality 🙏🏻💖 ** The afterword of my book Spirit and Belief lists deeper ones! YES, I do like 🍕!

P. P. S. People are different obviously but you can apply professional and personal traits of longevity with anyone or anything! Why do you like certain people or things? Make your lists! It’s YOUR core of longevity–

Always Ultimate!!! 👏🏻💪🏻👍📣

Wild Warrior (Buffalo) Woman

“They say dreams are the window of the soul–take a peek and you can see the inner workings…” ~~ Henry Bromell

Isn’t this title so majestic sounding? I tend to think so. Let me share how today’s post came to be. I’ll back up a little by saying– yes, buffalo or bison are described in that Totem Animal book of a few weeks ago. They are a symbol of prosperity and spirituality so here we go with another dream… 😴

I was on a movie set in this dream where Warrior was filming a documentary on buffaloes! Huh? He definitely was interested in these great creatures of the Northern Plains and I was involved with his project. WOW… First, we were teaching together and now working on a movie. I wonder where we’ll be next? I still don’t know my role with this buffalo movie but I’ll take it. Dana was also there but I never interacted with either of them, just the director.

The director decided to show me around the set with a golf cart ride! We were almost done when I saw a little girl sitting by herself. She seemed kinda sad, almost lost really. This girl totally looked like the girl in the first Santa Clause movie at the soccer field. She just knew he was Santa and all these kids formed a line. You can look that up… Anyway, the director told her we’d be back to pick her up later but she still seemed confused. That was how I felt just a little. 🤔

We returned and Dana was in an area with a backdrop around her while holding a baby and my first thought was Indy. ( their firstborn daughter) I made this connection since in the book “A Life Lived Forever” Indy signs her name in the letter to her Dad as “white warrior buffalo.” White Warrior Buffalo Woman teaches relationships between the material and spiritual worlds. Again, my observation but hey– dreams all serve a purpose. Dana just spoke to the baby while waiting her turn.

Next, I saw Warrior wearing a jacket with a huge American Eagle on the back. It was all red, white, and blue but hand stitched. Think U.S.A. flag colors. So very cool! He had his long blond hair and held a script in his hand. I could see him gesturing and talking to several people. This documentary was gonna ultimate!! Again, I never went up to him and he never spoke to me.

The buffaloes were not that far off in the distance as I looked thru the windows. They were so powerful roaming near the mountains. It was then that the director handed me my OWN script which contained info on all the people involved. I found my byline and this is what it read: “Even with yoga, she is a wild warrior woman.” There HAD to be other credentials but that’s the part I remember. Yes, there are warrior yoga poses! I found the director and was upset that it seemed to mention yoga as being, ya know– not a big deal to me. He said I got it all wrong and that the yoga was a good thing. Oh, so grateful for that explanation.

The wild woman part totally connected me to another book I mentioned last year. Remember Women Who Run With The Wolves? Sub buffaloes! I’m still in the book club and it mentions warrior archetypes throughout(: Despite all this, the mystery remained as to my real involvement with our beautiful buffalo documentary. I mean O.K., they are spiritual animals and I loved seeing them in South Dakota a few summers ago. We even have them here in Ohio. Obviously, I was not there as an “expert” by any means!

I also was not an “extra” at all since they don’t really get a byline, do they? Well, no idea how this project got finished but it was incredible having been part of it all. I just so hoped that little girl found her way back to the set! Also, so hoped to get a scene or two with Warrior and Dana but knowing they came in this dream for me is truly a gift. I always treasure everything so maybe I just had to believe after all. 🙏🏻

Can you picture Warrior working on a project like this? I gotta say it was great seeing him being so creative and allowing me in alongside his warrior buffalo tribe. ❤️💙

P.S. My title of this post is like a dot.com (minus the b for buffalo!)

P.P.S. I like HHH as well as WWW since I always have these three:

H=humility

H=humor

H=heart

** The man HHH (Paul Levesque) is also pretty cool too! BTW–He helped bring Warrior back to the WWE. 💪🏻👍💙

The Telling of Titles

Do you have a title alongside your name? It seems that we all do with regards to Mr., Ms. or anything similar. How about all those professional titles or degrees we acquire over the years? We work our way up the “corporate ladder” from an assistant to possibly president of a company someday. Does that mean everything to you in business? Or, could you take it and leave it?

In the WWE or other related forms of sports entertainment, the titles and belts MEAN something. It’s what you attain for at the top of your game. The WWE currently has 18 title championships. 18! I had to look that up what with the many brands in the business nowadays. Back when I watched, there were only a few titles and each show didn’t have their own division with belts. Are those titles important for you to see around your favorite’s waist? A title doesn’t mean you are better off for having one. You may have earned it but is it ALL of you?

Fame, money, recognition and all that go hand in hand but it also depends on your version of that success. Warrior was very different with not wanting a belt to prove his worth to fans. He even said: “I don’t need a belt… I don’t need it.” That was outrageous for an athlete to even utter those words. He did after all win those titles but didn’t necessarily want that to be the primary focus of his character.

It can and does mean so much more to others in different ways. How about you? Sure, we need success for our livelihood but is being at the top always the end goal? Hmmm… One to think about for sure. Even if you are “the boss,” you have to ask yourself why you wanted that title in the first place. Some may want it to prove they can get it (like WWE performers) but others may want it for power or to be liked. If you aren’t liked as a boss or champion, many could be jealous of your position. Maybe you aren’t a good boss or champ anyway.

The “claim to fame” has both positives and negatives as does working towards that elusive title. Am sure you fans would still follow your favorites with or without a title, belt, or “strap” as Warrior called it. I know I did. Of course, I loved when U.W. proved his worth by obtaining a belt but it was never just that with me. Ever. My emotions were better when he didn’t have one as I’ve said before.

Back in the day, very few performers had the chance of winning a championship title. Such a challenge with competition between those selected. Now, it’s almost the entire roster of talent that is able to vie for a title. Is this better or worse? It all depends on how you look at it but again, we all evolve.

When you are able to look back on something– what is it you remember most? Career goals will differ from personal ones but those titles may creep in. You should be proud of professional success however, don’t forget to let the REAL you shine. ✨

I have seen many twitter bios on some profile pages of former wrestlers. Not that I’m looking but we have followers in common. Some mention their pro career, some list their life now, and some use both. My page is mostly professional since that is why I use twitter. Other social media is more personal with family life. I happen to love those guys who list the NOW more. You can have your own opinion, this is just mine.

Is it that important to list you being a champ 11, 12, or more times? Maybe it is for them but true fans are loyal despite that number. My memories of any Superstar back then never just revolved around winning a title or even how many times. The titles do matter, don’t misunderstand here and of course famous people’s bios will differ from us regular folks.

Warrior’s greatest contributions that he was MOST proud of are his daughters. I totally agree. One’s personal life should always come before one’s professional life. However that looks for you– believe in the personal titles. They hold much more meaning than any “strap” ever will. 💖

P.S. I didn’t have Twitter before Warrior passed so no idea what his bio was. I can guess though!

P.P.S. I value my personal titles more than pro ones I accomplished. On that, Warrior and I agree- yet again.,,

True Ultimate Timing

Well, Warrior fans~~ we made it to another year of this blog. It’s not official for a few more days but happy 3rd anniversary to warriorwritings (: To think I only thought of writing this for a year. The inspiration and motivation never stops. Time is relative and yet fleeting. THANK YOU ALL! 🥰 Especially Mr. Warrior. 💙

Am sure you’ve heard that expression of “perfect timing.” Do you associate this with a good or bad feeling? I guess it could be both but let’s focus on the good, shall we? Think of all the stuff in your life and how one thing led to another. Kinda reminds me of the 1983 song “One Thing Leads to Another” by The Fixx. It all lines up my friends with that timing just for you. Whether you think personal or professional, it truly is ultimate.

Speaking of that word, how about the timing of Ultimate Warrior’s career? That photo is shortly after his IC title win over HTM. (Honky Tonk Man) He even said : “it was the right time.” I personally believe him winning the Heavyweight title over Hulk Hogan was also the right time despite some naysayers. 👏🏻💪🏻

Sometimes we need to do months and years of work while achieving success but then again, sometimes things literally get dropped in our lap to create that perfect timing. Has this happened to you? Am sure the first has but what about the second? For me, it was my 1st job lining up without a ton of work and yet again when I found U.W. items at my preschools. It can be both and probably happens more times than we realize.

If Dana had never walked into Warrior’s Gym back in 1994, they may have never met. True ultimate timing at its best. If I hadn’t really started following U.W’s career thru my T.V. set as a teenager, I wouldn’t be doing this today. Not to mention this blog becoming a book Spirit and Belief that got brought up as an idea thru another’s blog who knew about Hay House. All true ultimate timing once again.

You can apply this type of scenario to any aspect of your life really. Again though, no downers with the bad stuff~~ including Warrior. Go ahead. Right now list all the good situations in your life and how the timing just seemed to line up. A bit of advice here is that technically, there will never be that perfect time to do anything. If things line up, great. If some things aren’t quite right, go for it anyway. You’ll be glad you did. I can list so much on that topic alone! It may never be the perfect time to switch jobs, move, get married, have a baby, end a relationship, start a new project, or whatever. When you look back on that event, hopefully you will say it WAS true ultimate timing after all.

I have often said that Warrior leaving the WWF back in 1992 also seemed to be the right time. At first- NO! Such frustration and questions then for sure. In the end though, he never would’ve been able to begin his career in a new way and then be fully present with his family life. Just to add myself as part of this somewhat, I could’ve been married around 22-23 in order to please this guy’s family. That was the “norm” for marriage then, right? Well, thankfully that didn’t happen or I never would’ve met my husband or had our kids. Plus, I was never in love with that guy anyway like they wanted me to be. True ultimate timing choke holded me into submission on that one!

It is o.k. at times to wait on a decision if it seems a little off. Just don’t wait too long as opportunities may pass you by. You also may never fully know the timing of events until it’s your turn to travel up to parts unknown. Then, you’ll know. The timing of your life can be similar to another like many things I did connected with Warrior. Crazy as that sounds to some, it’s true. Even if yours don’t match with another, it is still your timing and the life you are meant to have.

True ultimate timing comes all the time in many ways. The good and the bad. We need them all to continue on everyday. As warriors, timing truly is everything.

P.S. 3 years= a 3 count for the WIN!
