*** A little side note here. I WILL be discussing some results of WMXL (40) but that will be NEXT week as this post was already written…
Yes, I know this title sounds a little bit much for possibly many of you but like I always say~~~ it isn’t what you may think. It came to me when thinking of several ideas in my life and reasons to their WHY… It isn’t one thing either as to the why of what drives us forward. More on this but first, a few announcements. Today, is my Dad’s ***80th*** birthday! 🥳 I have written on the day of many milestones but never one with other family members. I’m so grateful he has reached this day as he is quite a warrior himself. I wish him many blessings in HIS new decade. Next, it is my 365th post as well today. OK, like before~~~ WordPress will say more because of my “practice” posts years prior but I don’t count those! So, *** IF*** I wrote once a day that would equal a year. Kind of cool and wow for me. Thank you all for always reading if you do.
The last bit of news involves the date of April 14 approaching as I mentioned last week. That will mark 10 years since WWE aired the tribute on RAW celebrating the life of the Ultimate Warrior. My personal day with that time has been shared and will end these last two weeks of memories. I think of them all, reflect, and move forward with it in my heart. ❤️ Being grateful is how we need to be and I am, always… Do you all recall last week’s song of “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica? I said earlier in that day of Wednesday just jokingly of course how hearing it later would probably make me SCREAM… Well, I DID hear it while working out and that hasn’t happened in a long time. I laughed and then screamed, just a little. There are no coincidences and it was beautiful to hear shortly after writing that post of 10 years on Warrior’s passing. 🥹🤭😮
So, does “channeling your light” sound weird or complicated to you? It doesn’t have to be and isn’t about some huge practices you need to take, not to worry. We have to unleash that inner warrior remember? When I looked back at many passions of mine, I realized how they have evolved since their inceptions. That’s probably true of all of us but then again, there could be those ideas we just love to love without explanation. It’s like kids who have those literal responses with one being a favorite of mine and will forever be. My son “singing” “Firepower” 9 or 10 years ago and after Mom grilling him, he says : ” I just know it, OK?” The *** BEST*** ever but of course, that was a little different as I digress yet again. My kids and all their “warriorisms” back then.
When I started working out as many may know, it was initially a way to beat the midwinter doldrums when cabin fever set in. Little did I know back then how it would become such a light I would channel into a passion. Just like Warrior… Well, in a way. Yes, he did take that initial interest into bodybuilding, but at that point had no idea it would eventually lead to wrestling. He wanted to be a chiropractor. I bet you have similar stories. My fitness has become a way of life in a more spiritual way and I love it, I don’t loathe it as many do. Yoga too was at first a way to just move different and then to be social. It has become so much more than that for me over the years.
Think of other fun stuff too that channels your light. I’ve always loved many things that would start one way, and then detour into the next. Even childhood memories such as bubble baths🛁 and bike riding 🚴♀️ have always been with me only now in a more adult way. This means, no kid toys in the tub as it’s more holistic now and bike rides aren’t with my old neighborhood friends. *** To go another way, maybe you’ve taken the same yearly trip every summer. It started as a family reunion but now it’s more relaxed in a new way. That’s longevity but we can create yet again. It’s what this life journey is all about. You loyal readers even know how my blog has changed with all those beginner topics. I would’ve had NO IDEA some stories eventually got edited into book form. It all began because the WWF was introduced to my family living room in the early 1980s. That’s the BIGGEST connector here with channeling my light because, come on, wow! My 15-year-old self seeing the Ultimate Warrior until now?~~~ unbelievable and yet there it is. 🫨🥰
Even when I had first contacted this woman to possibly join some type of spiritual group, ( not a cult!) , I could never have imagined it back then turning into what it has been. The book club, moon ceremonies, and, of course my wonderful friend who led me to know a *** BIGGIE*** on this warrior journey. Not to forget my energy healing, which convinced me after 2️⃣ dreams. Talk about a channel of light. At least it was for me and you will have your own “Now, I Know!” moments for sure. That phrase was from the Ultimate Warrior during his WMVII match against “Macho King” Randy Savage. I thought it worked here… Sometimes I might over analyze these times but for me it fits. You don’t have to but just become a little more cognizant of the WHY that led to that light that got channeled in the first place. You might’ve taken a small step towards something that became even greater. It may start as a certain idea like going to a yoga class down the street as convenience for me, but then~~~ the possibilities expand our growth as is necessary.
Warrior channeled the Ultimate Warrior just like that pic below to be a character he may not ever have even imagined at first. It propelled him to load the spaceship (from another planet 🪐maybe?) with rocket fuel 🚀blasting into wrestling mainstream culture for eternity. We feel deep connections for many reasons as some are fleeting, while others last lifetimes. Yes, I said lifetimes… if you believe. We can say “just because” but for many of us (hand raised here 🙋🏻♀️…) it is MORE… We may find the reasons why but often we just need to always believe while feeling, not questioning. Channel your light to know the meanings are deeper than first intended. Trust that you will know why someday if you already don’t. The light will only shine brighter if you channel it out into the world… 🌎
P.S. Looking back at my post of last year around this time ( which I do…) right at the top was the date of 4/5/23. I wrote how I woke up that day with the song “Nothing Else Matters” in my head… I never would have remembered that had I not looked it up… Maybe it will be a yearly song? 🎵 🤔☺️
P.P.S. 6 years ago was my very 1st book event ever on 4/5/18… Yes, that was a date I chose out of a few they selected… 😉📗
