My Yin/ Yang Tag ☯️

A few things first…. The photo below is from a YouTube video. Yes, I have used that background before and also the IC belt, but there was another reason. It mainly was because I thought about a few other possible feuds UW had with some which I had not referenced. The pic was from a promo about Dino Bravo and Earthquake. I knew I could find one and did! Secondly, 2️⃣ days marks my birthday. I almost * FORGOT* seriously about watching “ The Ultimate Challenge” from WMVI as part of my annual tradition. I viewed it last shortly after Hulk passed, but was too soon so now is my next chance. It will never be the same for me ever again~~~ but this time, I will cheer and celebrate both guys knowing what an honor it is for me to share in a wonderful memory. 👏🏻

Now onto my title. It is yet another brand new to these writings as I did check, super typical of me. I mentioned yin and yang often but it has not appeared on its own until now. After all, I do wear my bracelet every Wednesday when writing so it makes sense, right? You might know it means opposites like masculine/ feminine light/ dark, sun/ moon, etc., but I tag them both in today for another view. My favorite weekly emailer did it again. I was kind of stumped for a post somewhat and she wrote EXACTLY how things are or have been for me for quite some time.

I do know in this lifetime certain lessons I signed up to learn along with the role I need to carry out. Some days though~~~ it’s very hard to follow through and win my match of the day. For those of us so connected to Divine energy in certain ways, it can be difficult balancing that yin/yang of every day life. I’m sure many of you know what I mean as that rubber band will only stretch so far until it breaks. We all know the expression of: “ there’s only so much time in a day.” Well, some hours seem amplified to fit in what I need or have to do versus what I truly would like or want to do. You might be rolling your eyes 🙄 since readers know I stay home, so how can this be a concern? It’s exactly the opposite warriors as yin /yang indicates.

If I was at a 9 to 5, that would occupy most of the day with little spent on other activities, do you agree? My workouts would change also. Yes, we all need and crave downtime and fun stuff but it’s very limited to evenings and perhaps weekends. With me being at home, there are MANY areas I would love to spend more time on that I would never even give a thought to if at a place working. Understand? Those thoughts or ideas would either get buried or pushed to the back of my brain until finally making time for them. They are not though for me in this life. Some may feel it’s easy and relaxing doing what I do and to many that might be true but often times, it is not. My mind goes a million different ways with multitasking~~~ believe it warriors. Just because my kids are now college aged, the ME stuff runs to the ring and wants a shot at that elusive title held by them for years. The laundry is needing folded 🧺and yet I’d rather spend more time on my new spiritual app. 🥰 I need groceries and yet I’d rather write this blog. Yep that’s what the yin/ yang match brings about. No, my life is not just about doing all that spiritual stuff you may not connect with, of course not!

I just feel so called to deepen some practices without interruption or finding that neutrality of balancing it all. Sure, if I went to work that would change this entire scenario but the truth is, I KNOW these deeper meanings want to keep being tagged in with their hand~~~ just waiting for me to tap it. I would still incorporate this part of my life now into a new one, absolutely. Finding time is the way to win. I’m a learner like Warrior was and there are always newer ideas brought forth. Don’t ever get me wrong here, I love this life I have as it’s all I ever wanted, but there will always be longing in me for the non-physical. It’s always been there I believe but got brought out much more as my kids aged, about 14 or so years ago now.

It used to surprise the heck out of me, but not so much anymore. No, I cannot meditate all day ( and don’t want to…) but none of us does anything all day really. I CAN meditate here for a moment, though on a beautiful birthday for me. 🩷 🥳🎁

Let’s see~~~ I love my family, but they aren’t into the same types of activities sometimes as me. I could be watching the 🌅 sunset over the ocean 🌊 with all my favorite things. A good book, 📕 a tropical drink, 🍹 (or iced coffee🧋and a sunrise…) and all the foods I can imagine without gaining a pound. Coconut shrimp, 🍤 or sushi, 🍱 some nachos with lots of dips, a healthy salad, 🥗I do like fresh veggies~~~ maybe some diced eggplant, 🍆 it’s sooo good, and either brownie cheesecake or Keylime pie for dessert. How does that sound? Heavenly to me~~~ pun intended! Oh, a spa day sounds great too! 🛀 Bubble baths…,

Remember to do what you can warriors to balance your yin/yang. Who will win? The being? The doing? We need both as a tag team every day. I can still be the wife, Mom, cook, housekeeper, and all that along with the writer, spiritual seeker, reader, and meditator anytime I want. *** Can I just get someone to clean the toilets for me??? 🚽😂 ****Well, enjoy your day warriors and I’ll let you know if any of my birthday wishes come true! It might be MY ultimate challenge… 🤔

P.S. Thank you Warrior and Hulk. I love it all, always… 🥹💪🏻💪🏻

Talk Show Humor 🍠

Yes, humor is back as if you know me, I like to shake those ropes and mix it up a bit on here. Today you’ll read about a funny dream that gets roped in. I gotta say~~~ and of course, this is based on MY experiences always but ever since mid-August, signs have been intense coming my way. Some subtle and yet some kinda in my face. So, having said that~~~ I KNOW despite naysayers, this is for ME… 😉

Let’s get into the dream today. Well, in typical fashion~~~ there are always some details that don’t quite match up but I love the humor which needed to come back again. So, to back up a little~~~ just recently my husband had mentioned Rosie O’Donnell who even though she has moved out of the country, still makes political comments that annoy him. I am aware but stay out of politics. I have learned to derail those convos or at least not engage. Rosie is part of the dream and I will say how much I loved her talk show which began in the late 90s for several years. That’s the backstory…

In this dream I was watching a talk show similar to how Rosie’s was years ago. I’m not sure if I was in the audience or viewing from home. Rosie cohosted with Reese Witherspoon! I did look up some info and Reese guest starred on Rosie’s show once, but they have never interacted. Their show was called: “ Rosie, Reese, and Friends” and I could see the title somewhere near the camera or off to the side somehow. They had the same type of friendly format and banter like those cohosts do. I can’t imagine them together really, can you? 🤔

I’m sure you readers know why I share all this because who was a guest? Yep, Warrior… Again, a NO (probably) on this type of show from him as he did news programs, wrestling, or politically based interviews. Keep reading though…. No true idea on why Warrior was there as I’m sure he’d be plugging his latest project and bringing in the topic of wrestling sooner or later. He gets introduced after what I think would be a WWE introduction, (a.k.a. “package”) although in the dream, I only saw him come on stage. He looked like he did during his last few months here in 2014. He comes up to Reese and gives her a big hug. Rosie is next with arms open and he passes her by!!! 😲 The audience kind of boos as she remains there with arms wide just a little surprised. Warrior would not (at least I believe) agree with some of her political views. That’s probably why he ignored her. I was surprised too but totally understood his why. Here’s the funny part.

He then immediately looked into the camera with his famous smile, and said: “ See, I’m funny, I can be funny sometimes!” 😂😂 With Rosie still in disbelief, he walked over and hugged her before sitting down. ***** I forgot to mention how my notes read that in the dream my sister sent me a clip of the show so guess I didn’t write that first! I wasn’t in the audience after all, so sorry about that part. My thoughts get away from me at times. Oops! Maybe it’s a good thing that I don’t always check my notes… 📝

Here’s a few of my takes. Let’s start with my sister sending me the clip. At first I thought, huh? Why would she be part of this? It’s so interesting how things come back. She was a big support to me after Warrior passed, which I have said before, so perhaps that could be her connection. *** BTW, she’s the sister I referenced last week. You all know the Rosie part but Reese? No clue on her as I have not seen or watched any of her movies lately. Always an element that makes little sense but still great anyway. The humor part comes and goes in these dreams and I know Warrior was funny, STILL is. I didn’t need the validation but maybe in the dream the audience did~~~even Rosie. I love though how politics seemed to disappear when Warrior hugged Rosie just like how animosity disappeared with many of his former wrestlers at that HOF weekend. *** That statement was not in my notes.

The dream seemed to end after that hug as he sat down to begin the interview with both ladies. I never heard any more of a specific conversation as possibly Warrior and Rosie’s views might’ve been discussed, who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️ The “main event” was him being funny right to the camera as the audience loved it all. He was showboating again only this time, not in a wrestling ring. Why this talk show, those ladies, or him wanting to prove his humor? I don’t have all the answers but maybe it’s a different message for me. I need to watch a funny talk show again just to laugh without serious topics all the time. 😅 Many messages for sure but the best was seeing Rosie’s face without getting a hug and then Warrior laughing to the camera. I LOVE dreams that I can wake up smiling from. It’s just Reese that still puzzles 🧩 me but maybe I’ll have that answer soon.

Make time for humor in your life warriors, however you can. I needed a good laugh and I got one, even in a dream. Who cares what is silly to you which might not be for another, laugh anyway! “ Rosie, Reese, and Friends” brought it my way as Warrior I’ll take being his funny self always… ☺️

P.S. Another OOPS!!! I did not mention this at first BUT you’ll see that pic below of Warrior and Sgt. Slaughter backstage during HOF 2014. I needed a pic of him laughing and that popped into my head! Can you believe it??? It’s all about a potato…You can all look that up on your own. 😜🤭

There’s Always More..

*** Just a quick pat on the back for me here. This month I celebrate 1️⃣0️⃣ years of practicing yoga! Yay! Very proud of myself for reaching that milestone… 🧘‍♀️

Happy September warriors, month 9 here we come. Yes, of course there is ALWAYS more, but this time is yet another continuation of last week. First, you’ll see a bodybuilding pic of a young Jim Hellwig below. I decided it fit because of a cute story I have at the beginning today.

Last weekend, we had a family dinner on my side to celebrate my youngest sister’s 3rd marriage. Our kids couldn’t come so us 2 ventured out to a Mexican restaurant we hadn’t been to in years. It was beautiful eating outside a few feet from the lake as we all got stunning sunset views. 🌅🌊 My sis and her new husband brought his youngest boys and the smaller one took a liking to my husband. They started “hand wrestling,” not arm~~~ mind you. 💪🏻 It was so funny! He then moved on to me, and my husband tries to distract the boy by saying this: “ look, she has a tattoo!” You bet I do right where I needed it most and I said: “ that’s how I’m gonna win!” Of course I did, but he “beat” me the next round. I mean,, come on~~~ he’s 5… Such a cutie. Thank goodness he didn’t ask what the tattoo was! ( It’s UW’s mask for anyone new…)

Here’s the next part. The boys decided to share what they want to be when grown-up. The older one said “ a builder” but then the younger one got embarrassed because he isn’t always comfortable saying it aloud. Finally, he says “ a strong MAN.” You can take that however you wish as seriously with the hand wrestling and all, I believe him! 😁 Honestly, he meant it deeper like a strong man with emotion, not just physical strength like our guy down below had during that time. That’s why he truly didn’t want to say but what a sweet answer from him. I was glad to see the boys again, they made the night so much more fun. Ah, society with boys in that way and what they are conditioned to believe…

Alrighty then, onto the MORE of last week. *** Readers, this is a sensitive issue, so I hope you are open minded to receiving. If not, then it isn’t for you and that’s OK.

~~~ Once I began using that new app I hinted at the next day, I found a HUGE hawk feather in my yard. You better believe I looked to that as another great sign of confirmation. You might not feel the same but again, it’s validation for ME…. So, there’s that to add.

Another point with the app is it’s several years old but the technique began back in 2002, (the year I was married) so it isn’t a new thing at all. It’s just NEW to my understanding and curiosity level. I shouldn’t have to defend and explain but I will step on that “soap box” just a little. It DOES concern spiritual connections with our loved ones who have passed on. You can guess or even judge but NO WAY to a séance (for one…? um… no) and I don’t have a Ouija board app either. Nope, I’m not contacting random folks, that’s nuts! 🤪😱 I truly believe that people who loved us here on earth still * WANT* a relationship with us and don’t want to be forgotten. Yes, I get MANY vibes as you know but it can go a little further than just feathers, dreams, or songs like it is for me. Most know this.

Think about it from your perspective. What if you had people back on earth (after you passed) who never even mentioned you again, looked at your photo, prayed for you, or anything. Wouldn’t you be sad? 😞 I sure would. Yes, I KNOW they want us to get on with our lives and be happy, of course this is true. My Grandpa was the first close relative I lost back in 1991 when I was going on 19. Just because he’s gone here, do I forget he existed? Never but some people just do I guess. I cannot imagine ever doing that. I also know the afterlife or whatever you want to call it keeps them busy. Sure, it’s pure bliss (I believe) but the spirits aren’t sitting on clouds with angel wings playing harps all the time. Crazy what we are taught, isn’t it? 😇 ☁️ If you choose to believe it, do so but watching loved ones every minute of my day would bore the CRAP out of me up there. It’s part of the day, not the whole day. Just like my new practice. It’s a fascination, NOT a desperation. You have things like that in your life too I bet. We want to use our gifts in a positive way to better our lives here so we have to try new ideas once foreign or deemed impossible. This could be anything but just FEEL your way like I always say. If it doesn’t resonate later on, move forward.

This connection became part of my meditation and then I go on with the day. It leaves me feeling supported and loved by guidance given my way. After a bit, I might go back and take notes but it’s all good and I will continue on for now…

Warrior is one who could never be forgotten absolutely. His fame made sure of that but we need to remember our passed family, friends, and anyone else who truly mattered in our lives. Their life here ended but as souls, they still have work to do while continuing evolving. I know that might sound confusing but I’ve learned a lot so I love sharing what I believe with all of you. I can’t picture Warrior NOT learning, can you? He was all about that entirely and even as spirits, we can and do~~~ just energetically not physically. I won’t fully comprehend either but I always try my best while knowing my mission is to be here longer using my abilities.

OK, that’s probably enough of the “soap box” for now, although I can and will sometimes carry on. Your beliefs are yours but hopefully, you can get new knowledge as you journey ahead. If you choose to not communicate with passed loved ones (as we all can in our own ways) no biggie but just send them love, light, and peace as they not only will hear~~~ but will FEEL it and that matters most. My goal is to help in any direction which leads you to a better understanding of all this spirit stuff. We can love them all and still do life the best way because in the end, you want to say how good it was. Always more warriors…. I’ll connect with you readers again next time.

P.S. Both kids have started back to college and football 🏈 games are upon us! *** AND*** when I pass someday, I absolutely want to help my loved ones on earth anyway I can. With guidance and love always~~~ never spooking! 🤍🙏🏻

Go with Me… 🤍

Yeah, I hope you go with me on these many topics I bring your way every week as I always want to inspire, educate, or just fill your time with humor although none of that last word as much today. THANK YOU for taking time to read or leave comments if you do. It is so truly appreciated by me that I cannot fit into words to fill these pages. I have a few ideas to explore this time around~~~ so hopefully, you will go with me…

I’m sure all of you are aware of AI or artificial intelligence by now. I wanted to bring that up because of what I see or hear through the media. No, that photo of Warrior in WCW below ⬇️ is not AI generated at all and for that, I am glad. Many photos out there nowadays are doctored, obviously by AI as I totally can tell~~~ even without anyone posting that. With everything else there are pros and cons, use versus abuse, and we shall see how this newer technology progresses. I’m grateful for those who truly use it for the good or here recently~~~ like bringing Warrior’s voice back for all of us fans to hear in HIS words. The images of him though depicted by AI in various ways? No, not so much. I get the idea behind it all, but I don’t like many versions created with AI usage. It can and is a great invention for much out there to help as there will always be new stuff in our culture. I’m just not a fan of it all, how about you? Are you going with me on this? 🤔

Let’s get into other areas. I’ll reference where my title came from today. Most loyal readers know me and my connection with music. So, last week I woke up with another “newer” type of song in my head. It’s an older song and some of the lyrics resonate, not all. It is : “ Come and Go with Me” by the Del Vikings from 1956!!! Such a cute little melody coming to me at night when many do. I was 🎶 singing parts of it all day as it stuck, most will. How does this happen? I can’t fully say but with lots of them~~~ I was not hearing the song in anyway prior to it coming to me. Sometimes yes, but more often than not, nope. That one? Well, how would I hear *THAT* unless it’s in a commercial or something? I know this happens to many folks but I also know they are not coincidences. Not on my journey anyway. They come and go with me for sure and it’s a huge sign that I always follow. Another sign~~~ I rarely have songs that old from the 50s… 😮

This last part today is a little deeper. We got a three 3️⃣ count again, yay! I do apologize in advance for being vague on certain points as in the past but some areas are left a little unexplored on here. Through YouTube recently, a different kind of video came my way after seeing a similar topic. Do you know how “they” sort of put vids on your feed as you scroll? I had been watching probably a Clickbait on someone 🤦🏻‍♀️ (ugh I know…) and then this other one popped up. It’s spiritually connected to the person I was watching. No, it was not Warrior if you were wondering. It became something I had heard of pertaining to the afterlife and despite a little hesitation on my part~~~ my curiosity was pressing play. Always having to be discerning or formulating my own opinion absolutely. I realize this isn’t for everyone like I say on here similar to a broken record. I do understand fellow readers, I truly DO…

What I found was a fascinating new channel which one could easily become addicted to. I was a little drained from some videos so realized protecting my energy needed to happen. Nothing creepy or haunted just to clarify… 🫨 It could be kooky stuff to some but for me~~~ I know it connects with my true purpose here. No, I’m not gifted in the way these folks are and many can be in authentic, BUT that is why homework is a must. I want to trust so doing research became part of this plan. There are pros and cons to this too, just like the AI mention of before. I hope you are with me as I come and go with these spiritual happenings that transpire through my writings. I’m going to try a new app recently downloaded once again as at first, I got frustrated and deleted my content.

We can all try to educate ourselves, which is another expression I frequently say just like Warrior did. No one will know if they don’t try, right? If it doesn’t work out, try another approach but just keep at it if it really resonates with you. I’m going to do just that to further my exploration in this area. I will be protected as some negativity could come my way but I always believe in the good and I’ve got a Warrior on my side every day! 🙏🏻💙💪🏻

Come to think of it, it’s actually a 4️⃣ count today after all. I almost forgot, how could I? My notes are small so I didn’t see it at first. The word DREAM was circled so here goes. Fans of Warrior would know he was quite the artist and had done many sketches or paintings over the years. 🎨 Most were famous people in history, literature, philosophy, and politics. They’re always stunning for me to see and what talent he truly had. In this dream~~~ I could see him (well just his hand…) ✍🏻 drawing George Washington. I have seen that one as Warrior put an 🇺🇸 on his face like the UW mask he wore! I remember showing it to my husband in the dream saying how Warrior painted this. I think I have told him what an artist he was but never showed him any of his work. Warrior painting it and then me having the painting. How did that happen??? *** Side note here, as I was proofing and editing this~~~ my ear 👂🏻 started ringing super LOUD… Another beautiful sign for sure. 🥰 * Anyhow, it was a brief dream but my husband loved seeing George. Our daughter is quite artistic herself but rarely does people. She could if she wanted to for sure. What a cute little dream it was of Warrior showing our 1st President to us. I loved it even in glimpses. Still him making his presence known as I continue to receive in my dreaming state and BEYOND… He comes and goes with me and it’s always ultimate…

Well, to summarize~~~ take AI anyway wish but always remember original photos are best. Sing some songs to brighten your mood or ask for some if that’s your thing. It’s fun but if you’re not into music, no worries. Try to learn something new, whatever that might be for you. It may be exactly what you need to grow even if you’re not into spirituality at all. Fans, look up Warrior’s art if you haven’t. It inspires me despite some subject matter one might not be familiar with. Just go with me and see what happens…

P.S. I’ll catch up with you all next week as September 🥳 ( my birthday month) begins! Oh, the next song I heard was: “ Take a Chance on Me” by ABBA. My girl loves them but I hadn’t heard that song lately… I’m doing my best to take this (new) chance. 🤞🏻

A Different Feeling 🤍

Before this different feeling post of today~~~ always a few other things, right? First, glance down when you can. Yep, a selfie but here’s why. It actually is a pic I am using on some socials right now but the real reason is this. I just didn’t like any lately of Ultimate Warrior on media or looking at my collection., That hasn’t happened in such a while so what the heck, you get me today. So there. Second point as a lead in and I have to share a little funny. When watching SmackDown a few weeks ago, (like I said with Hulk’s tribute,) and after that segment was over~~~ I really wasn’t going to keep watching. They did, however insert other clips throughout the show. Here’s where it gets funny.

I told my husband how we can change the channel with no DVRing wrestling as that part was all I wanted to see. He said NO!!! Huh, who is this person? He didn’t feel like switching around and decided to keep it on. I said he totally can watch something else because seriously, I totally didn’t care. So, guess what? I kept watching too just to see or hear any reactions as my son came in. He just mentioned it being fake but his responses really weren’t the ones that surprised me. It was my husband and daughter whose interest became held~~~ more so than mine. I say, it was comical in a way but hey~~~ I got to share in a 2️⃣ hour episode about wrestling with them. What universe is this? 😜 The excitement that intrigued them were the upcoming “SummerSlam” matches. My husband was amazed by Jelly Roll, while my girl is a huge Logan Paul fan on YouTube already so she came in during that time. Of course I had relayed celebrities being part of WWE for years now so it isn’t a new thing. It was just an unforeseen moment in time to watch and see them kind of cheering for someone in their own “wrestling way.” 😲

OK, then~~~ onto those feelings which have crept up within me and stayed. It just is different somehow as I knew it would be. Time does go on and yet, bit by bit the past fades. Always legendary as remembered and yet still hurting. Do you understand wrestling fans? Yep, Hulk’s passing it is and with it brings newer perspectives for sure. I’m not making this another sad tribute but bittersweet while contemplating. I just have so much greater respect for them all now it seems more than ever. ❤️‍🩹 Yes, we move forward to the here and now and have to but there’s still that lingering sense of loss and sadness.

As adults, we are still kids at heart, true? We are allowed to hold onto those people, things, and events that once defined us and yet not too tightly as I blogged a few years back. It’s super tough redefining ourselves and going in another direction. Memories will always remain and we choose to make new ones~~~ however that works for us. It just takes time to adjust to a new “normal” without what once was. I just believe in my gut that somehow, someway we think it will be the same or that some are indeed “ immortal” despite their actions. We know this is not true and yet with being human, it just comes. To quote Ultimate Warrior: “ physically, none of us can live forever!” *** The feel is different. Maybe you are this way too or with other situations that have happened in your life. Can you tell?

I remember when watching old matches and thinking how EVERYONE of them involved is gone now. How can that be? Wasn’t it just 1989 (or fill in a year, I thought of “SummerSlam” as that’s the theme now.) UW versus Rick Rude~~~ more on him in a bit… Wasn’t I just 17? We can’t wallow and yet need our own time to process~~~ TIME… Another reason I love the genuine folks keeping moments alive with pro wrestling and especially the old WWF days. Check out “ The Wrestling Collector” store in New Jersey owned by Tommy Fierro who also owns ISPW. He has TONS of merch and even old VHS tapes. That takes me back… 🙂‍↕️ Legends make appearances too. He cohosts the 80s wrestling podcast where I am a frequent caller! Some even make it such a huge passion but as long as you don’t live there. One day with my kids, this will all be a forgotten piece of my life but right now I am fully present as I have to be. I so enjoy being part of the weekly podcast and tomorrow’s is all about “Ravishing Rick Rude.” Maybe I’ll call in again. I mentioned him earlier…🤔

A different feeling absolutely and perhaps the next time I watch WMVI ~~~ “ The Ultimate Challenge” I will applaud it all as it was too soon a few weeks ago… Will I be watching any other WWE related content soon? Who knows but I’m following John Cena’s storyline and catch some YouTube videos when I want. It’s so crazy today what with social sites, videos everywhere, etc. that it’s tough to NOT know what’s going on. But all is a choice and for a little bit, I still care~~~ a little…

Warrior might say I’m such a “mark,” but I am selective, ha! The old days are behind us as memories are irreplaceable. Yes, I did look up results for “ SummerSlam” but didn’t share with my husband or daughter. You know what though? He actually KNEW results as it came with “ news”on his phone. How about that? A different feeling yet again… I’ll tag you all in next week, hopefully with a UW photo too!

P.S. Here’s a quote I recently read from a YouTube video: “ Legends don’t die. They echo.” WOW… 😮 A different feeling once again… 🥹

AND~~~ I have recently added Hulk’s name to my list during meditation. I tell Warrior to say hi to many from me… I jokingly add to just not have him win “ The Ultimate Challenge!” 😉

Just Buggin’ Ya! 🪰🐞

No, not really as I hope you aren’t being bugged or bothered by these writings. Just here bringing a weekly update, you know like on “ Saturday Night Live” only not on the weekend! Before all this bug stuff~~~ a few other updates for you all today. My husband and I had our 23rd anniversary on Sunday and ate dinner in this Aviator themed restaurant close to the airport. We had not seen the entire place since it was renamed and is used much for large gatherings or a wedding venue. Not sure how long it has been since we actually made a reservation somewhere. I can get him classy once in a while! ***👔👗 Our son is almost ready to start year 4️⃣ at college with band camp this week. He will be a few floors up in his apartment complex with some of his trombone buddies. Our daughter begins year 2️⃣ soon locally as it’s still crazy having both in college.

Onto WWE for a moment as recent news came through the media. Starting in January ‘26, all their PLE’s (or previously called PPV’s) like WM’s, will be airing on ESPN. I know, so many letters! 😜 At first I thought~~~ wow, totally awesome as most have that sports channel until I heard the catch. It isn’t exactly like the Netflix deal with RAW, nope. I was told by guys on the podcast one has to download the DTC app or Direct to Consumer in order to view. No regular ESPN or even ESPN+. I’m not sure of all the details as of yet as it’s almost $30 and not part of your cable subscription. It might be cheaper if you have Disney or Hulu as well. We have neither but I’m not interested. Just a messenger here… Interesting 5 year deal in the billions so we shall see how it all transpires or even if all the info I received was correct.

OK, phew that’s kind of confusing I know. I’m not bugging you, am I? Let’s get to that topic of choice today as I found it ultimately cool with all the feels. Did you ever have that feeling of a bug crawling on you but there isn’t one? Maybe not but I do, at least lately. Then, I’d go and brush away “nothing” all over my arms and legs similar to when I get goosebumps. This has been happening and I must say sometimes~~~ it’s around where my UW tattoo is located on my right forearm. It’s not always but sometimes. Is it Warrior’s energy? Possibly considering the physicality of his mask as I will and do believe. Other areas though can be a tingling sensation of feeling as this time of year has heightened spiritual vibes coming through. You may not follow this, but I do and recognize specific signs for me. One can question validity for sure, I get it… One can also go to the negative and jump to a possible medical problem. I don’t and won’t do that because I truly know in my heart that is not the case.

Do any remember the ladybug post where I saw one in my son’s room during the winter and then on my bed the next day? You may see those tiny creatures often and not think a thing but I love them and always have. Yes, Warrior has a connection with one of his daughters as I recall, but they have fascinated me since childhood. One day I felt a bug crawling near my ankle and this time without automatically wiping it away, I reached down to catch it~~~ also without looking at the bug. I decided to save its life and ran to the door setting it free. No idea it was indeed a beautiful ladybug visiting me and not just a random housefly. It’s rare when that happens but thankfully, she was safe and my hand didn’t crush her. I thanked her as she flew off and from now on, I will look before capturing.

The feeling is more like a slight brushing on the hairs of my skin but now instead of rubbing it off~~~ as there are no bugs, I invite them in. I believe for me it has more purpose, more meaning on this evolution of mine so it’s a newer type of sign. Imagine if you can~~~ someone’s fingers, (not in a creepy way) walking ever so slightly and lightly in a gentle way up and down your arm or leg. It’s a positive feeling. I never looked at it as panic but at first more of a nuisance. I believe it now to be more activated with my sense of feeling or clairsentience. That is discussed in my book- “ Spirit and Belief.” I have to plug it sometimes, right? 📗 Perfect opportunity to do so. I hope this isn’t bugging you with all my spiritual talk, but it’s my life readers so take what works for you and leave the rest.

Maybe new things are coming my way as I need to think so as my spiritual team always has my back. No tingling in that area, but they are with me just like yours is with you~~~ whether once she chooses to truly connect or not. No worries, just protection as unseen forces are guiding us in everyday life. *** Well, no more buggies for today, but try and notice little things getting your attention sometimes. If it FEELS right for you, who cares what others think. You might be nervous at first but think positively as that is what you will get. I love my signs, but I’m open to new. Warrior was all about staying motivated so he wants that for all of us here too. He can bug me anytime as I promise to recognize his energy any chance I get…

The Sci-Fi Cyborg 💪🏻🤖

He’s back! Welcome to August dear readers. How is this school month already for most? Crazy… The “he” I am referring to is about that title above. Yep, the sci-fi cyborg but before that, here’s a little something I noticed. Like I said~~~ I do not watch WWE but here lately I did watch SmackDown and a little of RAW. I had to see the Hulk Hogan tributes as I sure hope they have a separate special on him. With everything he did for the business, he does deserve more than the traditional 10 Bell 🛎️ tribute and a few clips shown. I know they also did a tribute for him this past “SummerSlam” as well. Perhaps that will be it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ The beginning of the shows when they announce their: “ Then, Now, Forever, Together” slogan, many wrestlers are pictured. Ultimate Warrior is part of “ forever.” Many may know this. I love that but yes, they all are forever to me~~~ every generation.

Do any recall “ The Wandering Tent Dream” a few years back? I saw a movie playing that featured Warrior in the starring role as a cyborg. It was science fiction and I totally KNEW in that dream how that was the second movie he made. He was only in “ Firepower” but at the time, a second was in preproduction. There’s a reason I bring this as a topic today. Another dream I had only this time, it was just a photo shown to me~~~ that’s it. The photo? Well, it was one in my “ Wrestle America” magazine from 1993 with Warrior on the cover. The black-and-white pic is him sitting behind a camera on the set of the movie. I have used it on here years ago and he looked so happy. He truly was… That’s all I wanted for him and actually said that to the magazine in the store back then. It was kinda intense but totally makes sense now. 😌

After seeing that photo in my dream (or mind’s eye???) , it got me thinking. Why was I “randomly” shown that? I couldn’t answer for a bit but then as usual, it came to me. I had to go back and reread that article by Dave Rosenbaum to check on a few things. Here’s a quote: “ Don Boyle, who conceived ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’ for TV, wrote a science- fiction movie script with the Warrior in the starring role.” How about THAT readers? I have read this multiple times over these decades but NEVER put it together with the “dream movie” of a few years ago. Warrior left ICM before that project could happen. I would not have remembered the sci- fi connection between that magazine article and my cyborg dream. Ok, maybe he would not have been that way or perhaps the plot couldn’t be exactly the same BUT still a total connection. The photo of Warrior on the “Firepower” set inspired me to think, reread the article, and remember my dream. How truly ultimate…

Here’s another interesting connector. Because of the nature of Warrior’s spirituality, I often wondered later on if he ever explored some of the other aspects that are not religious. I know he was philosophical but how did he navigate through all this higher learning? He was self educated but like previously stated, it came from somewhere, right? Years ago, when this began for me~~~ I pondered if he meditated or looked into other ways of tapping into one’s Higher Self. It is similar to praying. I do both. Meditating = listening, whereas praying = talking. He had to I’m sure. I actually asked that question to some in different forums once. Their answer was all about his fitness. “ He meditated thru his workouts.” OK, that’s a fair statement to say BUT here is where that same article works. Granted, this was from 1993 and not many years after when his life became busier with a family. I hope he still had time to meditate maybe but just in a new way and not just through his intense workouts. Here’s another from the magazine: “ … and isn’t ashamed to admit the beautiful Arizona scenery sometimes causes him to meditate.” That of course was when he was living in AZ alone but it’s there in black and white. Times changed obviously but I am glad to have known that about Warrior. Thanks to the Ultimate one for leading me back towards that “ Wrestle America” piece on Warrior’s life after his longest reign in the WWF.

So, the sci-fi cyborg almost started working on a second movie that is explained a little in that article which I had sort of forgotten. He also meditated back then as many in his later years he considered friends might not have known. Perhaps he discussed little with them on these subjects but I have evidence and a dream to prove otherwise. Some might have that article too. No bragging, just honesty like always. One last thing to end with as it concerns writing so I have to share. A woman I follow on YouTube is an energy practitioner who specializes in healing your nervous system and stress responses. We all need this! Her work is amazing and it’s truly helped me. The reason I reference here is a few other quotes from her work and I echo these sentiments. I hope all of you do too. She states: “ I stand by everything I create. It’s always the best I have to offer at any given moment. Because sometimes the most powerful thing isn’t finding the right answer, it’s returning to the work… and seeing it with new eyes.” ~~~ Sukie Baxter

We won’t have all the answers but do our best in our own way…

Isn’t that powerful? 😮I think it totally fits today because I was seeing the magazine through new eyes 👀 and always standing by what I create. Hopefully you can see Warrior through new eyes too. 🥹It’s the best I can give with these writings. Feel the same about what you give out to this world. It doesn’t have to be writing, dreaming (like me) or even reading. Just do with your whole heart because it’s what we are. My favorite sci-fi cyborg did too, meditating along the way.

*** P.S. Go and listen to “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” with their latest episode, a tribute to Hulk Hogan. I call in around the 42 min. mark. I hope you enjoy… I was very emotional and almost didn’t call in. Am glad I did… ❤️💛

Giggles, Nerves, and Elation… 🤭😬🥹

Before I start this post, I unfortunately feel the need to of course comment on the passing of Hulk Hogan. He deserves more than just a PS at the end. It pains me to even have to type these words, but I need to. 💔😢 I know in the past, I have done many eye rolling and sighs concerning his behavior ~~~ however, this one hits HARD… My brother was such a huge support to me 11 years ago and I just wanted to be there for him on the loss of his favorite. Hulk Hogan was “THE GOAT” and nobody can ever take away what he gave to the business of pro wrestling, nobody… I know he had his share of demons like we all do as nobody’s perfect plus his share of health problems recently, but it still came as quite a shock to us all.

I couldn’t concentrate on anything else after my brother told me the news. I knew this day would come and we know it will for all of them, but it still hurts to lose somebody so important to my life in watching all those years ago, as he was such a part of pop culture as well. For me there are certain aspects that really pull on my emotions. One is when I see the word “late” describing them or I see their dates listed. That always always will affect me. I can’t fully explain why those aspects do but it just is..,

I’m sorry he could not make peace with his daughter or some of his other friends, including Brutus before he passed. I truly believe he tried in his own ways.., Many say his reunion with Warrior was fake or staged, but I’m not going to say all of that. I’ve never spewed hate for ANY of them and I still won’t. Sure, many actions they take I thoroughly dislike and I would get very mad but to their core they are just human like the rest of us. I’m glad he is pain-free as there will never be another quite like the Hulkster, who became immortal to all of us. We like to imagine all the reunions up where he is now, despite animosity between some of them over the years. It’s great for us to have. We need to celebrate the GOOD as the world lost another icon, never to be replaced… “ Whatcha gonna do brother when the largest arms in the world…. “ go back home… THANK you for the memories Hulk… I treasure them all. ❤️💛💪🏻 I can say more but will leave it at that..,

*** Oh boy, that was hard to do, but I hope that you all stay with me because this is really a funny post today as I was so excited to share. I will begin.

For this last post of July, I debated over many titles and they seem so similar to ones I already thought of, all nouns. I decided to use adjectives describing my feelings about each one for you. Wow, they are close enough anyway. The first 2 happened years ago but are still worth a mention while the 3rd happened a few weeks ago. I’ll start with the giggles as it’s a cute little reference that many may know if you have a dog. Can you guess how it connects to Warrior? Several years back while in the pet store, I saw a dog treat with the brand name of “DINGO”. It’s super popular but I had never seen them before. I don’t see the word dingo much anywhere and dog treats? No idea about that but it brought giggles my way. If you don’t know the reference to Warrior~~~find out if you wish. I still see them too, so just a funny cute story to start with. 🐕😅

This next one can also be funny but brought nerves for sure. A few years after getting “ The Ultimate Collection” DVD, I had it on the couch ready to be put away. No idea what I was watching then as it’s not often I do so these days. I believe it to be Disc 3 that had come loose and fallen between the couch and its cushion. Hours passed as clearly once it’s in my drawer~~~ it stays put until the next time. It wasn’t until my husband goes to sit down in his favorite spot on the couch did I notice it! OMG, what to do? Nowadays, no biggie but back then I couldn’t say a word. I kept saying in my head: “ go in the kitchen, go in the kitchen, go in the kitchen….!” Even the bathroom would’ve worked… It reminded me of the scene in the movie “ Wedding Crashers” when Jeremy wants Todd to: “ go in the closet, go in the closet, go in the closet!” That bedroom part came to me because my husband’s name is Todd! It was funny for me to connect that. 😂 He finally got up and I ran so fast, I could’ve been the Ultimate Warrior that evening. Thank goodness the DVD didn’t break. Not sure if he ever saw it but if he did, I was not told. He does know I own some.

This final one is my elation. Originally, I had just a 2 count but then a 3rd came my way, literally. I had been asking for a Bluejay feather just for fun as it had been a while. The hard part is letting it go but I did, for a bit. Most afternoons if the weather is nice, I love my backyard space. It will sorely be missed when we move but I’m grateful for it now. Once through the gate, I saw *TONS* of Bluejay feathers in the grass. I haven’t mentioned any in ages and now there were more than I could carry. They seemed to be around the same area where I first found a few 9 years ago, but this was crazy! Remember the dream where I found all the rhodonite crystals? Well, this was real and in my yard~~~ not someone else’s. I started crying a little but then I went to the negative. What if a Bluejay was mauled and its feathers got scattered everywhere? None looked too ruffled and no idea of foul play. I like to think positive so whoever (ahem,… I can’t say for sure) could be dumping them down from wait~~~ the Terrain of Testament, not Parts Unknown, right? ☺️

I brought them all in after getting a bucket as you can see on my plate below. Once cleaning them, I then counted those Bluejay feathers in front of me. I asked for 1 and got 51! The next day I saw another tiny one but 1 and 51 sound good together so actually 52. I was hoping for at least 30 (wouldn’t that connect to Warrior?) but glad to not get to 54. You can look all that up on your own. To answer your probable question~~~ YES I did keep them all~~~ separate from my box and sealed in a plastic bag. My feather box is getting too full these days, but how could I not keep these when spotting them after asking? You can have your UW merch or collectibles, I have feathers and crystals. They’re all different markings and mean so much to me. Who knows though? I may never get so many again and the next day, my husband mowed the lawn. Again, would he have noticed them? No clue. One can be super special as many may not but I felt good so that’s all that matters. I DID remember the dream I had with feathers all over my childhood yard. First a dream a few years back, and now the real thing!

Here are some of the nouns I originally thought of for this one: Dingo, Collection, and Feathers. Another was: Store, Couch, and Yard. BORING! Who would want to read that in a title? They were not intriguing to me at all, so it had to be emotions instead! That way, no idea on feathers as I’ve used that word plenty and dingo lately too. What a 3️⃣ count of dog treats, a DVD, and those Blue Jays I love to see. I will never truly know about all 51 or 52 of them, but it doesn’t make a difference to me. ***Maybe Warrior had the inside scoop on Hulk’s passing and wanted to comfort me ahead of time in a way? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙂‍↕️ Ask and you shall receive, however it comes. We can send out our wants to the Universe but surprises are always nice too.

You might not have a dog to see Dingo treats at a pet store or even have a DVD out to possibly get sat on, but I bet you’ve seen feathers. Like I have said~~~ rarely did I notice them until Warrior’s passing but now, I surely do. They are not always signs but still fun to see. I also keep cardinals, (of course) as they have been mentioned a lot, hawks , and Turkey vultures in my area but others I make a wish on and let blow away. These are my giggles, nerves, and elation for these warrior writings today. I wish you a week of surprises coming your way filled with POSITIVITY… Look to the good, ask, and see what can be shown on your warrior way.

P.S. It was a BIG emotional week of celebrity passings. I was so drained. Why is it always in groups of 3’s? I pray for all their spirits. 🙏🏻💙💙💙

Selling a “Character”

This topic. Oh boy, has it been discussed multiple times over the years but got brought to the media “arena” most lately. Lots of naysayers always comment how the Ultimate Warrior character didn’t “sell” other characters very much at all. I am here today to disprove that a little, despite guys in the business who say otherwise. Yes, I KNOW they were witnesses and are entitled to their personal views but some bash UW for everything and it’s not correct.

Ultimate Warrior DID sell many characters in the WWF, but just NOT in the way they may have wanted. Over the years, several experienced performers did not want to sell fully. What I mean is quite possibly the guys wouldn’t want to lose a belt, get pinned clean, or even have a long standing feud with someone. This was very common among them and not just with UW. There are multiple stories out there and it’s hard to decipher what to believe but come on readers~~~ we all know as fans there was backstage stuff. It was never seen and it would come out later on how certain people didn’t get along or just did things for the business~~~ nothing personal. Sometimes though, it was.

A lot of it was what Vince wanted to do at the time but of course there could’ve been conflicts over prestige, ego, money, and all that and one is oblivious or naïve if not aware of those. Let’s see~~~ UW praised Hulk Hogan, embraced him at WMVI, ( yes, that was planned but he felt it for real…) called him “immortal” in promos, put his name and image on some of his UW gear, and so many other examples one can look up. He loved Randy Savage and also complemented his gear, used his image, and would get DQ’d on matches~~~ which is still a loss. UW also mentored Undertaker and gave him advice when he doubted the initial beginnings of “The Phenom” or “Deadman”character. Let’s not forget all the casket and body bag experiences back then as I’m not bringing that up again! Ultimate Warrior won matches at the time a lot because Vince pushed the character and that made other guys jealous. I can understand that, I totally can.

The performers can and should have a say after a bit on the development of their character, and Vince was there to listen. It might not have gotten resolved equally for both sides as the boss called the shots but some felt it worthy to at least try. This was among them all and you can listen to interviews. I do realize there were many opponents of UW’s that lost quite often to him like Rick Rude but again~~~ I don’t believe it was always Warrior who would get his way. How about Papa Shango? I’m also not saying that every issue about selling or not selling was what I agreed with but I’m just making that point of how ALL of them were in that position. Warrior was adamant and stubborn at times involving some of the guys and would not sell, but that doesn’t mean it was that way all the time with everyone. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also know how some talent was not a threat to UW’s image so that factors in too…

Do you help to “sell” with people in your life? Do you do it out of kindness or reciprocity? I’m guilty of both but they are human emotions we all deal with. I complement others but not always do I get something in return. Would it be nice? You bet, ultimately it would but we can’t live for that and need to let it go. A few weeks ago I got the exact *SAME* compliment or “sell” if you will from 2 people unaware of each other. They both used the same words in a message and it humbled me. I love both guys and it meant the world to receive those… 🥹

Pro wrestling is a sell type of business but other sports? Not so much. No other team, player, or match is scripted where one decides in some fashion to put the other one “over” and lose in order to sell their opponent. No way! We know this of course but look at it from that perspective. If you were in the sports entertainment aspect, wouldn’t you want to “no- sell” sometimes because of various reasons? I bet you would just like me as nobody knows how it could go until in their boots.

Real life is the same. If we rarely receive, do we still give? Great question. Well, it all does depend because nobody wants to be a doormat but then again~~~ we need to find that balance of both. Am I going to always extend a nicety to another despite them never responding? Some do but I will admit frustration on my end. 🫤 We do need two way relationships but sometimes it just doesn’t happen and then other decisions need to be made. We don’t get a paycheck for selling a character in our personal life like the pros do.

So, did UW “run” to Vince all the time not wanting to sell every opponent? Highly unlikely. Did he sell more than he gets credit for? In many ways yes but not in THEIR way. Just make sure you don’t oversell another’s character and totally forget your own in return…

P.S. I realize Warrior was no saint and possibly had his share of many mistakes, but ALL of that does not justify the constant singling out of him that many do. All of them had their share of issues in other ways. Rant over!!! 🙄😬😯

A Heart Centered Path 💙🥤🥹

It seems like I just used the word heart in a post title, but it makes a second appearance. You’ll know why in the next several paragraphs or so. You’ll also notice the pic below is of the “Smoothie King Center” in NOLA where UW was inducted into the WWEHOF. Years ago, I used a photo of an actual Smoothie King shop and now 1 town away has a brand new location which I mentioned a little while back. Remember me saying how I would update when finally getting a smoothie there? Well, my son recently did and then my husband and I went. We ordered for our girl too. This is not just because of the name as to why I write about it today. Nope, as there were or are a few other connectors. I seriously have to stop my face from reacting sometimes. 😯 2️⃣ smoothie drinks are: “Daily Warrior” and “ The Hulk.” I kid you not… I had seen some Warrior drinks in other shops, including a ☕️ coffee place, but never alongside Hulk.

The “ Daily Warrior” is a green one as I do those on occasion. “The Hulk” was a blueberry mix and hard to believe that one was not green like the old TV show! 😂 No, I did not get either. Maybe one of these days when I go alone, I’ll get my “Daily Warrior” but then again, I don’t need a smoothie for that! I just thought it was too funny seeing both of their names on the menu as I finally made my way into a Smoothie King shop. No huge NOLA venue as I was at another Smoothie King along with not only Warrior but Hulk, so cool. Wait, Hulk was there 11 years ago in the audience front and center, ha ha!

Let’s get into my title, now warriors. I have 2 quotes to share today. That seems to be the go to lately without a 3 count. The first one was part of this Oracle card deck I own and absolutely love. “The Luminous Warrior Journey” talks a little about some cards as that post is also STILL widely read, thank you… So, I wanted to start off the month with a 7 day spread from that Shaman Deck. Again, if most of you don’t practice this~~~ I understand but just keep with me here. The one card I drew was : “ Many Paths.” I love it as in our own lives we walk along so many paths and decide which is best for us, including Warrior . Here’s a line from the description that resonated for me. “ Be sure you pick a path with heart.” Isn’t that true? We should always FEEL our way through. Let me explain.

Even though Warrior was all about mentality and logic, nobody can tell me his decisions were not made with a heart centered path~~~ NOBODY… Despite his passion with his free will and principles, the heart is what makes that passion ignite like a rocket ship, 🚀 not the head. The mind thinks, the heart feels, and then the GUT acts. That’s my three 3️⃣ count, how about that?

Warrior’s paths were many, but we should all aspire to do what lights us up in spite of a livelihood for financial support. We need those outside interests so much too. The path is not a straight line either and it will take many detours. Warrior’s heart centered path finally led him back to that “Smoothie King Center” while letting all those roadblocks get clotheslined along the way. Your heart is your SOUL so listen to it and get rid of the mind chatter. We may not all take the same path or have the same journey but the final destination remains equal. You can dissect it anyway you choose but remember how it is not a weakness to follow your heart, it never is.

The next quote I will share was part of my Facebook intuitive group and boy, do they post some ultimate ones! It was several thoughts that start with: “ how to feel...” They made me get goosies! This one pertains to what I have been doing with you all these years: “ How to feel time?” “ Write.” ✍🏻

Wow, that’s amazing to me. I do feel when I write and if anyone ever has read anything Warrior wrote, he felt time too. It means you are focused on the task at hand, have little distractions, and your passion comes out. You feel the words as they are brought to life. At least that’s my take on it. I realize most of you aren’t writers, but words are so incredibly powerful~~~ spoken or written. I won’t write for hours a day like Warrior recommended but I love seeing inspiring quotes that I copy down in my many journals. You all can tell I feel my words when writing, correct? Just read out loud sometimes as that too will make you feel the words even more.

That’s my daily warrior doses of today! I had a path (always heart centered,) which led me to that Smoothie King shop similar to Warrior’s journey to HIS Smoothie King. Yes, I KNOW it is not even remotely the same but you get the idea! Even if you don’t have a smoothie or even write , always lead a heart centered life and feel many paths on your OWN warrior journey…

P.S. I have not used a non-Warrior pic ( except for selfies) in over a year!!!

P.P.S. AND, you are not going to believe this! When I went to dinner recently with my sister and nieces, we wanted 🍱 sushi as we all love it so! Guess what was one of them on the menu? Yep, a warrior roll. I did not get that, but I got “ The Beach.” 🤭
