Spiritual Salon Stories 🧡✂️🤍

We are here in this 11th month warriors so happy November! 2025 is almost done, how can that be? The holidays will be in full swing as Thanksgiving approaches for me here in the US. I hope all of you are doing well as you join me today for a few more great stories but first about that pic ⬇️ below . Yes, lately a few are just random that I got from IG but don’t y’all just love seeing Warrior sign those WMVI trunks at an event? He looks so happy and it’s a great shot of him. I’m grateful to whoever took that photo, it’s pretty ultimate. 🥰

So, I am back to bringing some personal experiences but I love those and I hope you gain a little perspective on them in someway. I had mentioned my Hair Salon a few times over the years but today, it’s about the new hairdresser and our similarities. Once more, I meet a woman who like my previous stylist~~~ is spiritual in many aspects. She also works as a massage therapist so I will have to check out that space soon! I guess once some conversations start, we get on a roll and then the match begins. It is amazing and I’m so glad my transition with her has been going well after what happened with the previous stylist. I have been to see her twice now and wow~~~ 😯 such great insights on both ends. Sometimes, I feel like what I do doesn’t matter much or is not making a difference and then I get the validation I need. It truly is a beautiful thing as I wish the same for all of you on your journeys in life.

OK, so yes~~~ she works with crystals and also sages which are things in common with me. We shared a little but then she told me how alone she feels with her practices. Her kids think she’s a witch 🧙 but I told her how we are good witches. She doesn’t like that term as I understand. We don’t know how these words got so twisted around into the negative as most began positively. Other religious cultures changed and evolved overtime but that’s how it started as was easier to believe. Hollywood and the movies took over because really, most everyone loves the scary. This is not a post Halloween message as unfortunately it is true. The good stuff bores folks. Think about it here.

What always comes to mind is aliens. 👽 No, I am not getting off track but I totally can for sure. The only good alien movie is ET. Correct me if I’m wrong. Yes, there are good witch movies too but we need that antagonist always. I have to say this just to add. Glinda in “ The Wizard of Oz” was my favorite character, but Glinda in “ Wicked?” Not so much. I get why they had to make her that way in the modern version but nope, I’ve known too many girls like that. I do love her beginnings though when she truly was a friend to Elphie. I just don’t like all the “popular” vanity stuff. We all are a little vain but some are just too much like Glinda in this modern Wicked movie. I was BORN to love the color PINK 🩷 but my personality echoes Elphaba. No, not being “wicked” but the not fitting in or being different part. I guess I have both! Oh, I’ve always liked green though. It’s on my book cover. I will be seeing “ Wicked for Good” in the theater soon.💚🖤

Back to my stylist here. She went out to say how she was very happy to get matched with me and gave me her number. I was honored how she felt that bond with me enough to share and then listen. I offered hope and compassion as I have been there where she is and still am at times. After a few moments of conversing, she then said this: “ I sense a strong male spirit energy around you.” I will let that sink in for a moment as I need to preface it a little. With this time of year, I do some ancestral work close to the holidays and have been wondering if anyone in my bloodline or DNA ever did this path or felt the same way? I’ve been asking for a feminine guide as more women I believe did certain practices (like “witches”) than men, but who knows? We hear more about the women but in many indigenous cultures~~~ the elders, men, or shamans originated in those rules.

I had shared a little of my request to her but then instead of possibly sensing a woman, she sensed a masculine spirit. So, readers~~~ who do you think I could’ve felt around me? No, I’m not thinking of Warrior at the Hair Salon BUT based on some topics we discussed~~~ it was highly likely. Do I think he wants to hang out there? A no again on this. It might not be the actual, physical place as it’s the words and thoughts that lineup energy. She told me after a bit how truly wonderful my gifts are as I was humbled to receive that compliment. 🥹 Did I believe Warrior’s energy was there with us? For a second I doubted it but then I always believe. I don’t think he’s always at a gym working out either… There are other “places” to be! 😂😂 I do have my own personal ways of trusting and it’s hard to share with you all as you probably know by now. I’m so very sorry but you can infer based on my past posts. I am not naïve and do not just believe in what I think is true. I was a BIG skeptic and doubter for sure but now I know more. They wanna have fun with us where we are!

It’s a great feeling when we are visited by those in spirit (of the good energy) even at some unpredictable moments. Remember years ago when I heard the same song 3️⃣ times in a week and one was at the Hair Salon for a 3️⃣ count? Yep, good vibes there I guess but they know what works for me. Believe as you wish warriors… If you think it’s kooky, well~~~ you’re entitled to that of course. If you have been through what I have, you just might feel another way… 🤷🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

So, those are my stories today. Enjoy your day and bundle up if you were getting the colder weather like us here. Not too bad yet but more is on its way. Go get your hair done, it always works like *MAGIC* for me. 💫🔮

From Bed to Tower

🛌🪜💙

Strange title, I know…

Hey all! Did you miss me and my crazy writings? No, not crazy. Let’s say intense~~~ yeah that will work. I am back so hope you readers are doing well. Before gearing up for today’s post, I need to clarify something. It was recently brought to my attention that I was wrong about a movie character mentioned last summer, ironically after a trip. It seems I got Randy Savage’s name wrong in “ SpiderMan 2.” He was not “ Chainsaw McGraw” but “ Bonesaw.” Both cool but I like to know the truth of course. No biggie but guess I wasn’t truly paying attention since I was playing a game! I bet Randy really doesn’t care but I felt obligated to share…

Next, you will see “Dingo Warrior” down below back in his early days with Texas in WCCW. I’ve seen that photo numerous times over the years, so finally had the chance to use it today. I’m not entirely sure of the backstory on that pose but I tend to think it involved those “ Westway Ford” car commercials he was part of back then. They are hilarious if you have not seen any. 🤣 Look them up on YouTube if you want a good laugh and yes, he has more lines than his character “ The Swordsman” from the “Firepower” movie! Dingo was very popular so he must’ve agreed to be part of those car ads and yes again~~~Westway Ford is still there in Irving Texas. I had to check, naturally.

***VACAY NEWS*** We had a fun time hiking some trails in Loudonville, OH on our trip that led to waterfalls and stunning views way up high in the mountains. ⛰️I loved tubing down the Mohican River 🛶 when the rain moved out. We saw many birds at their feeders and even found a brown woodpecker feather which I’ve never seen before. The home was incredibly spacious with a loft space as well which we had in past cabins. I always get a little emotional when leaving but glad to be back home. It’s good to let go of schedules and routines but then we crave our regular stuff once again. The energy was amazing as nature brings it out in any of us. More on that in a bit~~~ just differently. I hope all of you get a chance in these warmer months ahead to enjoy time outdoors as it is what our souls crave.

While there, we had a full moon 🌕 and I do feel the energy which has been mentioned often on here among other types of those topics. It is real to me but of course, many years ago~~~was not at all. Sure, I would notice it in the sky and knew kids acted weird close to that time but that was about it. I do have a story to tell here so bear with me. Again, like I always say~~~if reading along and you don’t “feel” it, then skip ahead. I’m just asking for open-mindedness to perhaps another’s experience different from your own. Just space, that’s it.

Have you ever felt a bit odd when staying someplace not your own? I know many who travel quite frequently and spending the night or several in a bed that others inhabit is second nature to them. They think nothing of it. After all, bedding has been changed and washed, right? I hope so. We just climb in at the end of the day and get that much-needed rest. That has never been me, but is accelerated so much more now that my energies are shifted. Don’t get me wrong here~~~the beds are usually super comfy and I have little problems with that. It’s what comes later or even in dreamland. 😴

I do work with crystals (as many know) and usually keep one under my pillow for protection. Being busy our first night meant no crystal and I also forgot to say my protection prayer. I have not forgotten that in many years. It shouldn’t matter but to me, it does. Well, if this is the time you fast-forward, I get it but I hope you don’t. I kid you not~~~once I began drifting a little still lucid, I felt what seemed to be movement not my own. Nope, no cat in the room but some kind of energy was around. I hope it was positive but honestly, I don’t truly know. What I do know is that it didn’t feel right so acknowledging our emotions in this is key. I also heard a noise almost like a voice but not really any words. Could someone have been outside that late? 😬

It was then I actually DID hear to open my eyes so I listened. The next night, I used a crystal and said my mantra. Nothing like that happened on our trips before and hopefully, not again. What I don’t want you as the readers to think is that when deciding to explore spirituality in any forms, that this kind of experience will befall you. Please don’t think that! You loyalists know my writings are mostly positive but sometimes, I am just susceptible as I’ve shared a few other stories. For most of you, you won’t require “protection” and a bed is just a bed, but I’ve always had these abilities. They just manifested when my soul was ready to receive and of course~~~when several events triggered them to happen. A certain someone’s passing? You bet…. All is well but it served as a reminder to me with my “niceness,” remember that? Nowadays, I have to initiate other practices previously foreign to me or at least deemed as crazy (intense?) in the past, but it’s what I need to do.

I will end with a goodie. We did find this 80 foot 🔥 fire tower you could climb all the way up! The view was amazing but I turned slightly to take a few pics and made my way back down. It was not like just climbing up on the top rope in a wrestling ring at all! It was kind of scary but I kept my wits and was saying : “ I’m a warrior” the entire time. We have to face our fears whether it’s negative energy or even an 80 foot tower… 😱

P.S. Go look up those Westway commercials! Dingo did scale a building in one. 80 feet? Dunno… 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂💪🏻

To Become Educated 🌺🫵🏻💡

A few things to say before I SPLASH into our post today. First, it was a year ago this past month that I have owned the “Always Believe” DVD. I know it was after Valentine’s Day, but before March. Lots of content I became a little more educated upon since receiving it 12 months ago. Also, tomorrow marks a Leap Year which is not too common. I have a cousin born on February 29 and he is having a milestone this year. I guess technically not with a Leap Year being every 4️⃣ years! HBD to him for sure. One more point and it is this. The photo you see below is yet another wonderful one from my beautiful cousin who thinks to send me such sweet inspiration. 🥰 I had another picture chosen (as usual,) but when thinking of what to share~~~ it had to be her sentiment today.

Yeah, it totally fits with me but I hope you the reader feel it too. The previous time I used a picture she sent it was 2 years ago in March, which I looked up. That was just ONE word all about “My Warrior Week.” This today, however, is just about an hour or so. What I mean is the recent session with my healer which is around an hour I spend with her. Again, this might be over some of your heads about seeing someone to balance or HEAL your energy as it does relate to psychic abilities somewhat. She relates messages through angels and boy, have I become so much more educated. It will be 3 years in a few weeks that I started seeing her and I went quite frequently. Remember my colonoscopy? Then, visits became more sporadic as I’ve stated because I wanted to try my best without additional guidance. As it turns out, we are into a whole other time and topic, so more visits are in order. 🤔

I usually jot down a few notes to take with me and the very last question I had concerned DREAMS as she and I explore this at times. It was just a brief comment that turned into most of the session. Many may know I have been and continue to be the avid vivid dreamer. If you’ve been with me, you’ve read ***MANY*** over the years concerning Warrior but there are always others and I wanted any info on some different ones. Do any of you remember my tree, house, and crystal one? That was so upsetting as to why Warrior didn’t recognize me. 🫤 I DID become very educated as later on with her (and the angels guidance,) I applied it to that dream. I did write how it was a metaphor and there were always more lessons to learn as I was right. It’s great to have insight as those answers are just for me. 💙😴 Such another puzzle like last week…

My question to her concerned his girls in some dreams, as one I felt to be a little unsettling. Now- mind you, she is not an official dream interpreter but if this connects to my healing, some answers do come. No, it was not FULLY explained as I believe we all are connected in some way. What was explained is just like things in our waking life, not everything is how it appears to be. I felt reassured on that ***BUT*** most ALL of my dreams are quite beautiful with a few hmmm… ones snuck in from time to time. The thing with me though is energy which I know sounds very broad.

When we dream, we can be anyone, go anywhere, and do anything quite like acting. Sometimes we might wake up dazed and confused or like we haven’t slept much at all. 😵‍💫 This can happen to any of us, but not as often as one might think. She tells me I have a big heart( awww shucks… ❤️) just like on Earth but that means it’s fair game. I’m giving away too much of myself causing “extra” energy in dreams to interfere which I don’t need. Don’t get me wrong, the wonderful Warrior dreams and ones with others I am fond of are all so great as I wake up happy and refreshed. The other confusing ones though, not so much. For my entire life, this has been a huge part of me and would become a joke like : ” guess who was in my dream last and what they did?” I never thought of it any other way besides it being my “thing” and just accepted what was. The truth though with my big heart~~~ I just wanted to do all these things, be everywhere, and go go go in a dream that is. What happened was it became exhausting and draining which is not what I need in order to heal. There are MUCH more details of course but I’m telling you, I’m so grateful to be educated a lot more on this. Dreamland will slowly overtime work more to my advantage…

I will admit at first when hearing this news, it was quite shocking as I got totally defensive. Once I settled down with it for a bit, it became clearer and I had steps to take in order to course correct. I even said to her that I didn’t want to fully fall asleep and became a little panicked. 🫨 She said to not do this as that depletes more of my energy and of course isn’t healthy. It was just my first reaction and was temporary. I’m stronger than I know but sometimes forget that. One of my purposes here is to be ME like it is for us all but some like myself need to fight harder and be the warrior we are to take care of OUR needs. It’s all about the feels, remember? My crystals will work too, as a few other suggestions were made.

Becoming educated takes a lot more out of us than just reading books, listening to podcasts, or watching videos. It’s using your OWN sense of intuition to lead YOU in the right direction. Warrior spoke of this often. To think it all started just because I jotted down a simple dream question. 😜 You may not work with a healer like me, but I need this for my growth and many areas much too numerous to list here. Become educated warriors~ however it looks to you. After all, Warrior did and now I am. Dreams or not~~~ keep YOUR energy close. Don’t give it away unnecessarily. It’s yours to keep, just yours.. 🙏🏻😇👊🏻

P.S. NOT all dreams are roller coasters 🎢 of WHEEE!!!!! Maybe I need to adopt Warrior’s attitude and kick some A**!!!

A House, a Tree, and a Crystal… 🏡🌳🩷🖤

Yes, I know. That’s a long title and I went through many before settling on this one. It made me laugh because it sounds like one of those jokes about… “all walked into a bar…. “ You know those right? Well, it doesn’t apply here but was funny when I thought about it. You’ll understand in a bit as all 3 involved 2 dreams. Hey, I haven’t talked about those in a while and must choose my words well when explaining.

Before exploring dreamland 😴🥱happy November warriors! We got some ❄️ last night, ugh… The holidays are coming fast to end this year of 2023. Oh my goodness, always much to do but this post is about a house, tree, and crystal today. Almost a treehouse, but not quite. The beginning of this dream about a month ago involved a grocery store but it didn’t affect Warrior so we’ll fast forward a little. The store part was really weird but I did have some groceries in my cart and was headed to the parking lot. As I approached my car, I noticed many photographers and which seemed to be a media frenzy surrounding the area. I didn’t know what was going on so I asked a few people. It felt like Warrior was out of wrestling and had retreated away from the public. That kinda did happen, but not like this. He had bought this house which sat on top of a big hill surrounded by trees.

Why was it by the store? Always with the questions… These onlookers somehow found out Warrior was indeed the mystery man living in this big house on the hill. Why did they need to bother him so much as he was now out of the business? I knew him very well but he hadn’t told me of his new address. Again, why not? 🤔 I would never reveal his whereabouts to the media at all. Guess there was proof it was him as possibly he had been seen but I believe whoever told me so I had to go.

It was then that I abandoned all the groceries in the cart 🛒 and pushed my way through the crowd. I could see the lights on in the house but here’s the interesting part (although it already is…). I didn’t make my way to the door but decided instead to climb a tree and peer through the window. Why would I do this but maybe there was no door access with the mob nearby. There are always elements I don’t know of in dreams. Well, I’m climbing this tree assuming he’s home so I can speak to him through a 🪟. Let’s hope he sees me. I finally make my way to the top as I did like tree climbing as a child. I’m knocking and banging on the window trying to get his attention. I could see him walking around and a dog lying on the floor. He finally comes to the window after hearing me yell: “it’s ME!” multiple times. He is face-to-face with me in the tree. He looks similar to the pic down below. I kid you not!

Anyways, before letting me in he just kept staring with a puzzled look. Maybe he didn’t recognize me or perhaps something had happened to make him think distrust. This is NOT the case at all but there’s always more to learn. I really don’t know as I begged him to open the window while still convincing his doubtful self it was really ME. He did open the window as I climbed in. I told him about the grocery cart and how others relayed to me about this being his house. He seemed amazed I climbed a tree, but I don’t remember too many words spoken after that. He was glad it was really me but then I awakened. I felt kind of despondent remembering the dream but I know there probably are plenty of metaphors. 😔 We all want those alone times, including me. I can analyze in other ways but he knows I will forever be on his side so perhaps there is a meaning I’m not meant to know. I was so grateful getting him to visit but next time, it better be a little happier!

This next dream was about crystals. Third times the charm or should I say 3 count as it makes 3 dreams about my precious gems I work with daily. I had lived elsewhere and our neighbors were having a party. It was a loud one too and we couldn’t sleep. Finally, it seemed to end and then into the wee hours of the morning, I stepped outside. Their lawn was covered in crystals! I vividly saw white or clear ones that had different color dots but I haven’t seen any pics similar. I did look some up online. They were crystals though. Our yards met up so I wandered a bit more. Then, I saw the crystal I work with every Wednesday when writing. Lots and lots of rhodonite everywhere! It’s a beautiful dark pink with black swirls on it. You can look up all the meanings but it’s extra special to me. It must be to appear in this dream and not just one but what seemed like hundreds all over one area of the yard.

I picked up a handful and headed on home despite already having a rhodonite of my own. I’m sure they won’t miss just a few, but why were these part of their party anyway? I don’t know and it didn’t really matter. It’s all about love and who doesn’t want more of that? Crystals in my dreams are rare, but to have 3️⃣ makes me take even greater notice. Yes, I have gotten the others as well but rhodonite I already bought a while back now. Maybe the universe or even Warrior wanted to remind me how loved I am despite the outside noise of our chaotic world. I love my crystals and have many as we all do what’s right for us. You can have your practices too.

Thank you Warrior for coming in yet another dream and for the beautiful rhodonite crystals I treasure so much. I will climb a tree and dismiss the naysayers any day. Perhaps he’s telling me to not try so hard. It isn’t necessary in order to be the REAL me. We also don’t need another’s backyard to find the love that’s already inside us. I will always try my best but maybe if I slow down a little sometimes, the answers will be clearer. 💕🙏🏻☺️

***P.S. I had found the pic of Warrior below thru Instagram and decided to use it today as it sorta fits… Always when choosing a pic- I make little notes to myself so I don’t forget. This pic’s title was : “Instagram muscles!” I thought that was funny. Hey, it’s what I do to remember… 😂💪🏻💪🏻

***P.P.S. We recently just had Oct. 29th so I will ALWAYS remember that date. It was in 2013 when the 2K2014 games were released but it ALSO was a huge turning point spiritually for me back in 2019- 6 years later…. I have talked about that but more next week… ❤️‍🩹

Time for Transitions 🫶🏻💎

I really shouldn’t be writing today at all but I am. The reason being is that it is my (our) 20th wedding anniversary. 💕 Guess I’m sharing this day with Warrior writings, imagine that. 🥰 Don’t think one of these Wednesdays has ever been a milestone in my life, just Warrior’s. Another first as I continue. I have a personal birthday milestone coming up in a month but it doesn’t fall on a Wednesday!

That pic you see of Warrior was from a promo he made after “Macho King” Randy Savage cost him to lose the heavy weight belt to Sgt. Slaughter at the Royal Rumble of 1991. This led up to WMVII’s “Career Ending” match between Warrior and Randy. If you give this one a listen or know of it at all, Warrior mentions “the 15 stitches in the top of my head” incurred as a result of that scepter hitting him “unconscious” so he loses the belt. I love how he mentions a crystal that the doctors left in. So dramatic indeed as a reminder of “Macho King’s” kingdom but also a reference to a piece of the WWF title that had belonged to both of them at one time. I have worked with REAL crystals as part of my spiritual practice for years. They are very powerful. That is of course if you believe in all that which I do. I did save that promo but not just for the crystal reference, ha ha.

That brings us to this title of transitions today. Warrior didn’t mind that transition of losing the belt to Sarge as he wasn’t about having one all the time. That was easy for him as some things in all of our lives are not that hard transitioning to. Me, well– that word itself is HARD in my life but accepting it and evolving we must all do. My son is transitioning to college in just a few days for a full week of band camp before classes officially begin. That day is jam packed with lots of other stuff-believe it or not so no time to dwell until later on when it will HIT me. Yes, we will see him soon enough but not daily and I need my warrior strength to get me through.

We all have those transitional times in our lives that are such biggies and as parents, it’s a constant watching our kiddos grow. This has definitely been a HUGE milestone year for me but as a warrior, I battle on like we all need to do. How do you handle those transitory times in your life? I bet some are pretty easy but then the big decisions require more thought and emotion for sure. I had a simple transition from marriage and then motherhood as those were goals I was very prepared and ready to take on. Plus, a career before hand which I strived for and loved. That went into marriage briefly but not mothering.

I can mention the WWF transitioning from Hulk to Warrior but that’s been brought up enough so I’ll let that be. Oh, many professional and personal things that were part of Warrior’s life that he had to transition into and some of course we will never experience but look at your own. What’s been the hardest to do and why is it that way? The easy stuff comes and goes in the blink of an eye but some linger and take much longer. I’ve mentioned before about Warrior making his transition to “parts unknown” as that is our biggest on Earth when those life lessons are done. Not to dwell on sorrow so let’s go to the joy. Despite negative parts of our transitions, we can and will get to the good eventually.

These past few years have especially been in transit for me in many ways from being scared and unsure to finding answers and relief. I believe our entire lives are filled with constant transitions really but at times, we need space to just relax and breathe. If you have a hard time doing anything else, remember that breath inside you which gives you life every single day. Warrior said this often. Besides that, another factor we need is rest. Yes, that was extremely hard for Warrior to do and I was never a napper much either. Transition for sure. I take naps sometimes now as my body tells me when they are needed.

Even little things like breathing and resting we take for granted and never think those would concern us. Well, our lives all take different turns and despite my objections, was told I needed to be mindful in order to heal. Transitions are hard warriors but fighting them means they stick around. What we resist, persists. Have you heard of that? It’s true. Most of us don’t get what we truly need but we try all the time or at least we should anyways. Not sure if Warrior was ever a napper much (probably not) but he came around over the years to being more aware of the little stuff that amounts to the big. I do believe he was always knowing in many aspects but got those chances with time to slow down in a different way. Maybe it wasn’t our way of slowing but it was his and he transitioned like he needed to.

That’s it for now warriors as I transition to whatever else this day of my 20 years of married life brings. I already meditated and used some crystals so that’s my slowing down and breathing time. Warrior doesn’t need a crystal to be in his kingdom. He shines brighter than any diamond as a spirit all the time. Let’s move through all our transitions the best we can. Remember to BREATHE and always REST…

Be Compassionate warriors 💜💜

Hey there warriors. Well, here I am again with a word that kept coming to me. I went into that debate mode of writing about this or not as a similar post is on Spirit and Belief this week. They are sorta a tag team again as the word of compassion works today too. No, it’s not like I’m researching all these virtues or attributes- really it’s not like that at all. It’s more connectors that fit into my life or current situation of sorts.

I’ll ask you all some questions first before sharing my stories today. Do you consider yourself a compassionate person? Is it a trait just reserved for some and not all? Maybe we just throw it around without fully realizing its definition. I know what it means but looked it up anyway. It actually is defined as: “to suffer together.” What? Why would we want that? We may know others that go thru what we are experiencing but everyone- no way! Guess what though? We do suffer together as people trying to make the best out of this great life we all have. Our individual sufferings may differ but collectively, we’re all just the same.

I don’t mean this as a downer and nobody wants pity which many may confuse with compassion. Empathy is another similar word. I kinda thought they were the same but no, not quite. Empathy is just the feeling you get when noticing another’s situation. Compassion is actually taking action to help a person. Your action might be different from people but compassion takes empathy a step further.

Going back to the Ultimate Warrior biography on A&E’s network in May, here were some of my emotions. First, I KNOW I discussed this bio already but you’ll see my point. While watching some parts, the word compassion entered my head. I kept saying to the T.V. ( in my mind of course) “I’m so sorry Warrior. I am very sorry for so much.” I may have said more but you get the idea. Some clips were when he was a young introverted boy as explained by his Mom. I too could totally feel those emotions just switched to a girl. So much of what she said sounded just like me. I felt it was a mirror of a different kind. Empathy yes, but compassion makes me take action like writing, speaking, and using my view to make a difference or to inspire others. The apology video was another scene where I talked it thru to myself. *SIGH.* 💔

Now, there have been some other “findings” that a few U.W. groups discovered. I do watch and read since it’s important being educated while having your own opinion. This wasn’t the good stuff like podcasts or even those “shoot” interviews. These were specifics all about his passing. I realize Warrior will always be talked about all over the wrestling world and perhaps some body building circuits but again- just SIGH from me. “I’m so sorry yet once more Warrior.” Not pity for him but empathy and compassion. Guess I need it for the others that post those controversial articles or videos. That’s tough to do but I can be the better warrior that I need to be.

Another reference of compassion came from my most recent session with the Energy Healer. I realize this isn’t for everyone but she is helping me tremendously with many emotional issues. She relayed a card deck for me to consider about a mythological Chinese goddess named Kuan Yin. I need that feminine energy that I lack sometimes from other women in my life. Guess what her speciality is? Compassion… It’s also mercy, self-love, and light. I just received the deck and have done a few of the exercises. That word came thru for me in a new way. I also use crystals which is another belief system. One that I have been using for a few weeks now is Rhodonite. I have written down all the meanings and this one is all about love in its many forms. The first word though to describe it is–yep~~compassion. It’s all about balancing emotions which this girl needs daily. Hey~ I talk much about balance too so who wouldn’t love that? It helps with trauma and all of us carry internal scars. Another three count of the biography, card deck, and crystal that all connect to compassion.

We can agree to disagree on being compassionate to others who are difficult as I struggle with this often too. I actually am not close to some that I was raised with. There isn’t a rule book for any of us to follow plus that isn’t me anyway. Sounds like someone else I know… Let’s work on being more compassionate with ourselves first because it does need to start there. It may take our entire lifetime here to get it but we need to start now.

Whether or not any of you readers were compassionate with Warrior’s many decisions, just remember we are all human with the same emotions. He as the wrestler or him as his true self like those pics above. It’s just the actions that make us different. Be compassionate warriors no matter the risk. Warrior learned. I am always learning and you need to also. Turn empathy into compassionate action, your ultimate spirit will thank you…

P.S. A very HAPPY Birthday goes out to an avid reader of mine. How about that? His special day falls on my blog day AND Warrior’s did also this year. I thought I was done with milestones!!! Enjoy this day sir, you deserve it. Thank you for all YOUR compassion… 💙🎂🥳👏🏻

P.P.S. Another moment of compassion I had near the end of the bio was with Dana. I wanted to reach out and grab her hands as she relayed her possible regret over the girls not being with them outside the hotel before Warrior passed. I was saying to myself: “No, no, no. Don’t ever feel that way. You did the right thing. Warrior would not have wanted them there.” ~~~ I didn’t just feel her pain, my mind wanted to take action and in my own way I did…

~~~ Find me here for book info on how Warrior’s energy inspired me to tap into my own intuitive abilities with lots of short stories. You can also find it on Amazon and other retailers. I also write a more spiritual blog with various topics as well. Connect with me on some U.W. Facebook groups, Twitter, and YouTube. I just posted a video on Kuan Yin’s energy so check it out if interested! 🙋🏻‍♀️🥰👍📗

Creative Collections

I wouldn’t be where I am today with these warriorwritings without YOU collectors. So many things have I experienced but without Ultimate Warrior fans sharing, my work wouldn’t be out there fully. This post is a THANK YOU to those willing to give their collections a voice for all fans, big or small. You KNOW who you are! I thank you for sharing your stories, photos, collections, videos, and for recognizing me as one of your OWN. Obviously, I am not that avid collector and have shared my small treasures but all of us keep Warrior’s legacy alive in many ways.

Boy, have times changed! Years ago people collected stamps, baseball cards, comic books, bottle caps, and many other things. I even had a sticker book around age 8 and us girls brought them to school and exchanged. I kept that too… My son collects magnets from our family vacations. Nowadays, some little girls collect beanie babies or kids are even competing with APPS on their phones! A different time indeed…

Do you collect anything that means something to you? For all you warriors— I mean other stuff besides your U.W. items. Is there something you had as a kid that you still like today? I used to love rocks and seashells so perhaps now my spiritual self was drawn to crystals (and feathers– hehe!)

Don’t be afraid to share it with someone. It just might connect to your life in ways you could never have imagined. Why are you drawn to certain types of collections? Sometimes we just like something but there can be a more meaningful reason. Am sure you Ultimate Warrior fans know what I mean.

I respect all of you for whatever type of collection you have. We are all different and if it means something to you, great! Pay no attention to those who “don’t get it.” Even though it may not be quite in line with yours, it’s theirs and that’s all that matters. I see so much online with U.W. memorabilia and also believe Warrior appreciates it all. He knows his true fans. There is that extreme mindset as a collector I don’t have but still marvel at what you do. It is part of your life just like everything else. We need like-minded fans who connect and relate.

Back then, the merchandise wasn’t remotely what it is today and the options now are huge. Like I’ve said before, it all counts and little things make a difference. Someone might not be the kind of fan you are but does it really matter? Nope, not at all. Being exactly the same gets boring.

I believe it’s wonderful to have something outside your 9-5 job or any of those roles that define us. It’s sad when you don’t. Get a hobby, interest, activity, or anything that makes you feel good. Your collecting can also give you income but it gives you so much more. We’re all still kids even as adults with our stuff and “quirks.” They make us who we are. Most of you guy collectors are not afraid to share— good for you! I say guys since I have yet to find many women U.W. collectors or even wrestling in general. If you’re out there– find me! I would love to hear your stories!!!

Don’t feel like you need a collection in order to have a connection with something other than a job. I just feel like other aspects of ourselves need to be recognized too so we can have fun.

Often times, I’d feel differently having a few Warrior collectibles– kinda like I didn’t belong. I now know all that isn’t my style and I am a warrior girl in the way that works for me. My book Spirit and Belief is testament to that. So, don’t compare your collections to anyone else’s either. Be proud of what you own since it is an extension of you.

Sometimes we can get caught up in wanting more all the time. Guess that depends on how much time you invest but you’ll know what’s right for yourself. Maybe you will never find that elusive item but be grateful for the ones in your possession. I know I am. I think I’m a person that if more items were presented to me, additional storage would be needed! Seriously though, personally seeing hundreds of action figures in my care would overwhelm me too much. That’s just me. That doesn’t mean it has to be you.

I give you Ultimate Warrior collectors a title or belt of your choosing for all that you collect. It is amazing to me and truly I remain awed every time. If you don’t have a belt, am sure you’ll get one soon! Thank you for always sharing your memories with me as it makes it easier sharing mine with you. For any of you creatives– post more videos of your expansive merch! I love seeing it all. We are all ultimate collectors that remain passionate and loyal. Like Warrior himself has said: “unique and different all to its own!”

~~P.S. The black crystal in the photo is bloodstone. Didn’t know at first how it is also called the “Warrior stone.” #signseveryday 💙😉🙏🏻
