The Ultimate Winding Road… 🌄⛰️🛣️

Hello my warriors! I’m coming to you all a day early today because of a few reasons. They both connect to this upcoming holiday here of Thanksgiving in the US. My “80’s wrestling the podcast” will be tomorrow instead of Thursday and that time is when I write. Sure, I can draft a piece and publish at a later date but honestly~~~ I would forget. I have never done that and really no true need. The other reason is some days my mornings are packed since walking the dog has to get done as well so shuffling this crazy tag team it is! It’s an ultimate winding road to end this month and then next week begins December. Wow… 😮 I do wish all my US readers a Happy Thanksgiving however you celebrate with loved ones. Some of you may have already started Christmas preparations but for me, that will be in a few more days. I have started some shopping though… 🛍️

Next up, the photo you see below. I know, I know, I know. I said how much I disliked AI images but that was referencing REAL doctored photos of UW or W by AI. The “cartoon” or artwork generated is OK and some are truly great. This one was posted by Warrior’s good friend Peter as were several others but I chose that creation. Rarely do I use art or even paintings by others but it’s time to get on that AI train I guess. Many are very close likenesses but real photos altered, I’m still not on board with. You can agree or not, totally up to you but always my opinion with MY writings. Another ultimate winding road of selecting photos every week. I tell ya warriors, I do much planning or research behind the scenes. Warrior always wanted to give credit to those so yes, I do the work too.

Here’s my 3️⃣ count today and was this another ultimate winding road for sure. I will say more like a winding path, but you get my point. I’ll explain. Recently, I received yet another email from a man (this time) who read my book “Spirit and Belief.📗 I want to believe he truly did. He also is a literary agent but at least was direct about it. I did respond as once again~~~ I’m not interested in re-branding my book or working with an agent. I have to share a few quotes and then other sentiments included in his email. I’ll start with this: “ … always inviting me to explore deeper corners of my own spirit.” Yes to this! He mentioned my “ reflections on faith and the unseen.Another YES!!! Here’s a few more I edited: “ … guiding those who are willing to listen to the heartbeat of belief.” Another goodie…

Never once in every time anyone like a critic has ever contacted me have they mentioned Warrior by name or certain specific stories I shared. Nope, NEVER. All that is OK but then I ask what stories resonated with them. I do not receive responses back but at least I make my point. The woman I have referenced really * DID*bring up my spiritual relationship with Warrior, which had never also been sent my way. I was overwhelmed at something not common place to mainstream culture but then her book burning remarks turned me away! 🤬 Here’s a few more statements from Mr. Literary Agent: … “ it beckons the soul to lean closer” AND this final one of : “ Thank you for letting me wander these sacred spaces with you Kathy.” Sure….. Glad to help…. I love all those but he pours it on a little too thick with some other words on this road… er path as he states.

He compared my book to: “ a quiet forest at Dawn,” “ sunlight filtering through the branches,” AND “ soaring over mountains while “ resting by a still lake.”This isn’t a poetry reading class! I loved the lantern metaphor beckoning like a beam of light to doubters (as I paraphrased that one) and being a compass though. Beautifully said to a writer.. .✍🏻 What girl (especially) wouldn’t ❤️ all that prose of poetry describing a book written? Sorry, buddy though~~~ no sell. If I was a teacher and he was in my class, I’d ask him about *SPECIFICS* . Anyone can be those illuminating nature words but where’s my stories in all this? That part is always the missing piece for me as any writer will attest. I understand the need to put yourself out there for business but it’s all a little too much, do you agree? I mean, you aren’t trying to impress a girl to date me here, right? 🫤🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyways, I do LOVE words like that really I do but not in the way they are presented in such fashion. If people take the time to READ my book and want my business, then be honest and direct. Don’t entice me with romantic sounding expressions where I might give a resounding YES! 💞Oh, warriors what a winding path this month has ended upon. Be your OWN compass, lantern, or whatever you wish as you move through this world warriors. May you always listen to your OWN heartbeat of belief…

P.S. Happy “ Turkey” 🦃 day US friends! Eat and be merry!!! Oh, and if GENUINELY interested in my book, head on over to Amazon fans!

P.P.S. I would absolutely *MELT* if those words he used were in a romance novel!!! 🥰

What’s Your SuperPower? 🩷💪🏻🫵🏻

Yes, superpowers it is today so no more venting! Before sharing that~~~ a few things first. Today marks 11.5 years since Warrior left, but also the 11th of my story titled : “ The Box.It has been shared several times and is in my book. Hard for me to still believe Warrior gave me that message *EXACTLY* 6 months after he passed, but he did. Such a treasure for me always remembered… 🥹💙 The last thing to mention is the photo below. ⬇️ None of Warrior, none of me but a great reminder to us all. Yes, I realize it’s kind of girly but I am a girl so be it. Plus, pink is my fave color! I’m sure you can guess why I used it. Find the word that connects… I love when my cousin thinks of me and sends beautiful photos like those. The one which remained a struggle for me~~~ but I am better at is worthy. How about you? Always believe in them all about yourself!

Now, onto those superpowers! I think this topic has been discussed a little but mainly more about the word superhero. I’m having FUN with this one today. Fans of UW may recall him having “superhuman strength…” ~ thanks, Tony Schiavone. He did have a few other qualities in that area like speed, a disguise, and perhaps being connected to those gods above. I thought of this because just recently my husband and I were having a discussion in the car for some reason. There’s so many to choose from besides those of UW’s. How about being invisible, flying, shape shifting (morphing into maybe another or animal,) becoming bigger or smaller, having x-ray vision, and perhaps breathing underwater. You can also use tools like a special suit, glasses, a belt, weapon, lasso, cape, web or anything else those superheroes had. 🦸🏻🦹🏼‍♀️🕸️🧜🏼‍♂️

I know there are lots more you can consider or even make up your own. Here’s a couple to contemplate on that. How about eating or drinking anything without gaining an ounce. Remember me saying that around my birthday? Another could be never growing old or aging. You readers know the movie “ Death Becomes Her?” Well, it would be like that only of course taking care of your body unlike the two ladies did. Another movie I loved! You would never need a doctor for anything, how about that? We know that is not physically possible but come on~~~neither are those other choices.

So, what would yours be? One from my list above or one of your own choosing? Mine has remained the same for a long time when I get asked this question. The eating/drinking one is a close second. Any guesses? I know it’s a long list and super hard but quite easy for me. Mine is FLYING. If you had that superpower, there would be no reason to be afraid of heights right? Also, if loyal readers can search their memory bank~~~it’s Kathy and the birds with all my stuff over the years. Only natural I’d pick that then! Some I would not choose like being invisible. It may sound appealing but when thinking about it, you might “see” something you don’t want to or shouldn’t. Always pros and cons to everything so that’s why we leave it up to Marvel, DC Comics, and others to create those legendary characters for us to fantasize being. Can’t forget the movies too, of course!

It’s a great time of year to pretend make-believe with Halloween coming this month, isn’t it? I bet you have your favorites too Certain superheroes use certain methods of defense, protection, and being of service. My faves are Thor, Iron Man, and Aquaman (or is it just the guys who play them…. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I dunno… 🤭). Seriously though, we need to remember to use our own devices every day for the greater good and not evil. Don’t be the villain in this convo today. We can use our talents to help but not to abuse. Don’t be like Bruce Nolan with God‘s powers either in the movie: “ Bruce Almighty.” Oh, that movie and my memories… 😳🫣3 scenes stand out for me personally, but only one got mention as a goodie in my book…. Now, back to those other powers of good.

Don’t we all wish we could save the world and make everyone happy? If only right? But then, we wouldn’t have our journeys and never learn the lessons we came here to learn. It’d be cool to be a superhero for just a day and use a superpower or device to better the planet for sure. We can, but just on a much smaller scale little by little. We always want to try our very best even though it might not be good enough for all. Nobody can snap their fingers and make everything perfect and really~~~as humans it isn’t impossible. The truth is we already are perfect just as we are plus all those words listed below. We all are superheroes moving about our daily lives doing what we can, when we can. Our tools are always within us like intuition or that gut instinct Warrior frequently referenced.

We can imagine a superpower like these today but ours go deeper than physical strength, a disguise, or even flying like my pick. It’s our imagination, insight, and of course intuition that takes us on this ride when we are here. It may not sound like much but once you tap into them, they can be the best powers you will ever know. Your existence alone is enough to be the superpower you need to access anything. Recognize that for yourself. After all, it’s what superheroes do~~~ like warriors…

P.S. “ Bruce Almighty” is another one of those movies that I totally had no idea why I liked it so much with the themes of others mentioned in the past. My, my, my.

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…

P.S. Here’s the ladybug 🐞 story for any interested: http://www.mywarriorwritings.com/my-ultimate-ladybug-story/

*** written 3/3/21…. 🥰 ignore the website stuff at the end, that is no longer active…

***Also, if wanting book info: you can find it on Amazon or wherever you get 📚… It details my beginnings with wrestling, following UW, and how his energy brought out more of my intuitive gifts. Lots of humor, family stories, and spirituality as well! It’s a quick read and totally easy to follow along… I thank you for the support.., 🤍💪🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

The Galaxy of Self 👋

I am getting back to Warrior’s comics today and that photo shows him going to a signing as a new thought came to mind. I will preface with this… There’s STILL daily views on my “ Disciplines of Destrucity” post so it gets “roped” in as I always thank those for reading. To those readers who read my work complements keeping Warrior’s messages alive~~~ even after all these years. I hope something resonates to keep you learning or just remembering. When I had first brought out Warrior Comic # 1 a few weeks ago, I was rereading much with “ My Heart is Full” like the title. I used the photo and after looking up close at several passages, knew I had these words to start July.

Many may recall me first reading and looking at the story back in 1996 while still living in my childhood home. Warrior’s beliefs stayed with me and never left in so much as copying down his “ 8 Disciplines of Destrucity.Today though, I’m focusing on another aspect of his beliefs. It concerns breaking down his idea of Destrucity and how it connects to how I was raised. No, not with his words but similar words that I only recently put together like a puzzle he references. I actually had to categorize as to not get confused somewhat by what he believed, subsequently wrote, and then translated by me.

I will touch on all that here but first a quick review for those unfamiliar. No worries as I had his comic handy just in case. I’m calling this The Galaxy of Self” because I loved his ideas and he was very much about believing in what makes YOU be able to be here. It can be confusing as when first reading 29 years ago, I didn’t fully understand but now I do. So, let’s begin with Destrucity as it represents a “constellation in the Heavens which symbolizes the Eight Disciplines by which warriors choose to live their lives.I’m not listing them all as that was the post years ago. To those wondering, it isn’t Heaven exactly but a part of it, like a galaxy. “ The Terrain of Testament” is part of Destrucity as a higher level where destinies and evolutions coincide. That is where higher selves or the soul part of us have fulfilled what they set out to do or accomplish in their current lifetime. Lastly, and this phrase was quite popular with the Ultimate Warrior character for many years is “ The World of Parts Unknown.”

That place (if you will) gets its own paragraph because of the history which connects to fans of his everywhere. My past post focused on the eight disciplines which encompasses Destrucity but this one is breaking down the OTHER ideas contained within that galaxy. The world of parts unknown is where souls reside who have not yet mastered the disciplines or learned lessons they needed to understand when in their most recent incarnation.*THIS * is where my new thinking came forward. When growing up, I had learned like many about Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. What’s that word you might be asking? Well, it’s that “resting place” or in between worlds I learned as part of religion classes. Yep, that’s parts unknown as Warrior called it. Can any of you connect those two words like I did?

*NEVER * again will I ever reference it in a manner connecting to Warrior and let’s say~~~ where he is now. After being gone from Earth these past 11 years, he is no longer in parts unknown I believe. Sure, as fans we can and probably have said that hundreds of times about him as it became quite the common phrase. We also do not fully know all the details of an afterlife if one chooses to believe like I do. There are lots out there of people experiencing out of body experiences (OBE’s) or near death experiences (NDE’s.) We can’t fully know when it is our turn to return. Will you be in parts unknown or as I learned Purgatory for a bit? Our soul knows but our body does not. We get to decide like our destiny. It is not written in stone and can be changed.

Is Warrior in that part of Destrucity he referenced as The Terrain of Testament, where he mastered all he needed to learn on Earth? I don’t have that answer either but with those eight disciplines he listed, I believe he has. As souls, we have the ability to go where we wish when in the heavens or galaxies of constellations but we can return if we choose to begin again with new lessons to learn. Unlike the simile of Purgatory equating his parts unknown, reincarnation was never a concept taught to me by anyone in my faith when growing up. It is not a belief held by many in the western world but is coming around to more understanding. I certainly know it to be true~~~at least for me with my experiences. If this isn’t for you, I totally get it.

I am still awestruck 😯 on how Warrior identified with these words or where he got the information from. I gotta say, he did not get that thinking from other spiritual seekers as it’s too personal in nature. He mentions the “higher self” many times so even without fully knowing the details, my belief is it came to him through a higher power, God source, or intuition. He had some inner knowledge of knowing and what * GUTS* it takes to write them down for the world to see like he did. He was a channel bringing messages to life. Always a risk taker, but so worth it.

To summarize his beliefs, Destrucity is a place in the Heavens with different levels. Spiritual folks do talk about Heaven in that way. The Terrain of Testament is a higher level where souls have learned their disciplines and where most reside. Parts unknown is like Purgatory or what many were taught to be that in between place before attaining the higher realm. I hope this makes sense but again, your beliefs are yours to have. We need our own Galaxy of Self to know what is true for us. Live in the NOW, but still create your destiny. If you do, someday you will not reside in parts unknown but evolve as your higher self needs to. Do you believe in a Heaven where there are different realms? Take info you see, read, listen, or watch and decide what you believe. Let’s all attain to The Terrain of Testament because parts unknown might mean you get another chance to return. Warrior believed in multiple lifetimes as do I. How about you? The soul is infinite and it is our true home. Our galaxy of self…

P.S. I realize spirituality isn’t for everyone but just truly give it a read. We are all placed here to be open to higher learning. Stay curious and inspired always… 🙏🏻🙂‍↕️

My Heart is FULL 🥹💙

Hey there readers… In regards to last week, I do have a few more little things to add before truly beginning today. Mercury is actually MY ruling planet (not Saturn.) 🪐 It governs Virgo ♍️ and ♊️ Gemini with those Astro signs. Warrior~~~ as previously stated had that Gemini sign like my daughter and 2 days ago on Monday would’ve been his 66th birthday. 66 on 6/16… Man, those 6’s are abundant right now it seems. Back to the planet idea for just a moment. EVERY DAY upon waking, I recite a morning mantra given to me by my former energy healer. It connects to staying “ fully embodied to this planet” among other expressions. I have it memorized and it helps me get “back to earth” in a way after dreaming. I have mentioned that before, but it did relate. I also need to say that after publishing a post on here: (warrior writings) every week. It’s just interesting involving planetary action which involves me to stay present AND “roping” in Warrior…

Now, onto other news. I do hope all you Dads out there celebrated Father’s Day in a way fitting to you with humans AND animals. This is the first year in a few where we were not on vacation. I wish the guys all the best with those they love as I’m sure Warrior’s girls send their love to him always… 💖💖

How about music here for a bit as I’ve missed it so! Have you? It’s always good and comical~~~well, most of the time anyway. My husband and I were eating at a restaurant outside last weekend and they were playing 80s songs. Perfect for me! They played “ Holding out for a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler from the “ Footloose” movie and then~~~ keep reading. I had made the comment on how much I love the songs but that song makes me go 2 ways. First~~~ yes, it does make me think of Warrior as years passed of course and not in 1984 when it was released! Oh, lyrics you are so fun. ☺️💪🏻 Nowadays, it gets me a little teary as I remember my daughter playing that soundtrack last spring as part of their high school musical. Those kids did an ultimate job re-creating the huge Broadway hit! Fast-forward a few songs later, to “ The Warrior” by Scandal. Wow, haven’t heard that in ages as I just kept eating while loving it on the inside. Come to think of it, 🤔 I did hear it in April but not since. How great to hear a little before his birthday, it made my evening. 🤭

This last piece of info today concerns a recent email I received a little over a week ago. A woman had sent me a glowing review of my book “ Spirit and Belief.” I honestly wasn’t even going to mention it at all on here anymore, but lo and behold~~~ it makes its presence known from time to time, even after 8 years. When first glancing at the email, I skimmed it thinking how this was just another book marketer with the same exact “speech.” I don’t want to be negative, but my brain is used to those kinds of emails about the book. So unbelievably grateful to have read it more slowly and thoroughly as I printed it out to save. I was overwhelmed by her words filled with such heartwarming sentiments. I will share a few with you:

“…reading your work felt like sitting down for an honest, heart- centered conversation with someone who knows- not just believes in-the unseen truths that guide us.” She goes on to say how I bridged the spiritual with the personal while not “ sugarcoating the struggles.” It was all about synchronicities, signs, and a soul connection. I love all those S’s! She called me a storyteller with purpose. How beautiful but she is right. She goes to state how by me sharing my words that it enables others to listen to their intuition and find their voice. “ your passion and vulnerability come through so clearly” as my book which she agreed was not written from my mind but heart as well. My reviewer thanked me for sharing and letting others walk along with me. You better believe I emailed her back… 🥰

I hope she finds this blog as I did mention it but more than that, I hope she continues on her own spiritual journey. She also brought * THAT* spiritual trait of mine into the email. It was recognized by her when unbeknownst to me when writing the book years ago. The celebrity of Warrior was never mentioned and really didn’t have to be. The book was recommended to any searching for spirituality as an “ insightful encouraging companion.” I am SO very incredibly touched by her words, inspiring message, and taking time out of the day to send me a note. I DID step into my purpose as she so eloquently wrote and these emails truly make all the difference to me.

Thank you to ALL who feel so brave contacting me as my gratitude is immeasurable. We are all uniquely on journeys that resonate with the spiritual warrior inside us. You can know your planet, Astro sign, songs, or even read amazing emails, but do it all with a purpose befitting this great life. I take it all with an open mind and open heart. Thank you as well always to Warrior for gifting me the courage to not just step into my purpose, but to OWN it. Use your intuition guiding others to do the same… ***Here’s to 66 in honor and memory of Warrior… I will always believe. Spiritually yours,

Kathy 🙏🏻🤍

P.S. That photo was from Warriors’s first comic book that I own. I thought it fit perfectly today.

P.P.S. You can find my book 📗 anywhere that books are sold. Check it out on Amazon, iTunes, Kindle, and others, I so appreciate the support and would love your feedback always. Thank you, thank you, thank you,. 

Stomp out the Dust 😯

Happy June warriors. I am back to using UW pics 😌 once again. Summer will officially be making its way to my part of the U.S. very soon so we need Mr. ☀️ ! A couple things first here. Last week~~~ I had said it to be 4 weeks of no painted pics, but it was actually 3~~~my bad. “Forest Dingo” was painted in that photo! 🤭 The next point is also referencing last week. I looked and noticed the word ultimate had yet to be used in a post this year so it almost made it 6 months. Hard to believe…

***Time for another introspective one today….

That photo below shows Ultimate Warrior literally stomping on Goldust but my ideas today take it metaphorically of course. I have said before we need to release stuff from our lives in order to move forward yet sometimes we need reminders. We can’t half- a** it, they need to be stomped out~~~which includes the dust left behind. It is so very hard as I’m learning all the time too. There are often glitches but then I refocus to get back on track. You can even look at little areas of your life needing improvement. How about junk food? Gossiping? Binge watching? It starts small warriors and then moves into bigger issues of yourself, relationships, habits, and belief systems. Keep belief systems in your head for just a bit as it is widely a topic on here but I will press a new word your way with NOUS. It is pronounced “noose” and is French.

Do any of you remember my post from 1/24 titled “Believing is Feeling?” It detailed this little red book I devoured and couldn’t put down. Two historical people were the topic and the word nous was intertwined with both. I subscribe to the author’s email as she had been absent for a while. I love her ability to convey such powerful words as I read each OUT LOUD, every time. Just last week, she related a story concerning her younger days in Divinity school and a certain professor she worked closely with. The word nous became part of this story. It simply means “we” in French but expands to so much more. I’m not getting religious like I’ve said, but just spiritual~~~ there is a difference. Nous is the humanity and divinity within us all. We don’t have to go “running” after it like Ultimate Warrior did in his prime.

The word nous actually originated from Greek as it connects to the MIND… 🧠 Warrior was all about that as many know. Nous is our common sense, logic, intellect, and rational thinking. It operates on a more modern word of intuition. Yep~~~ he referenced that repeatedly in his writings over the years as well. Your sense as a human just knows things to be true without fully questioning just like my author feels about her works.

Our inner knowing or internal GPS as some call it, is innate. We just have to tune in to find it. Claircognizance is elaborated somewhat in MY book, but this author doesn’t use that word. “Clair” is also French. Many even say the mind is like “ the spiritual eye of the heart,” but I believe the gut holds it all together~~~ literally. It is our birthright and “treasure” to have this mind and then truly feel in our heart what is right for us all while using our natural state of intuition. What is true for you? What needs to be stomped out and turned to dust?

Well, let me share a recent dream I had. Yes, it’s been a long while but this was more of an unpleasant one I needed to stomp out. The real life plays again warriors… I won’t share the details this time, but let’s just say it involved WWF (yes back then) and something I was part of. I did not want to be involved and yet somehow in this dream~~~ I was. It became very uncomfortable as I keep asking my team for lucidity during these times. After a bit of “awkwardness,” I saw it. The word NOUS in big letters above me in this strange wrestling event. What? Wow. 😮 I had read her email that day last week! OK, you can argue the “we” meaning and that will work. My body and soul are split in dreaming but I connected it more. To me, it meant my mind could control this situation and work to get me out of it. It DID work. I saw that word and immediately felt it enough to awaken. It’s not a “noose” strangling us but more like a rope that tethers us to what is true and real…

No, I wasn’t put in a casket for those fans thinking of a possible scenario! ⚰️ 😳 It did concern “The Slammy Awards” of 1987 but not in a good way. At least it wasn’t for me and I had to fight a little to stomp it out. I have belief systems now that I’m remembering and by listening to my mind, heart, and gut, I can overpower that negativity and return to my nous. It’s a bond we all have and can access any time. Sometimes, it even comes when we are not expecting it too. We just need to practice and overtime, it will get stronger just like mine has and still is. To reprogram our minds might take a lifetime but if you are willing to put in your best effort, it will get recognized.

Believe in stomping out what doesn’t fit in your life to dust while enabling your own nous to come through. You may not physically see it but you will feel it in one way or another. Thank you team and Warrior always for showing me my NOUS… 🙏🏻🥰

P.S. Our pool 🏊‍♀️ is open, so I am excited to hopefully go in soon! 🌊

Make Life Simple 🩵☺️

A little sidenote here with bringing up last week for a minute. I forgot to say this, but “ Express Yourself” by Madonna was one of my songs on a mixed tape. 📻 I had many tapes, but remembered that song being on one so there ya have it! Those were the days for sure when kids (probably mostly teen girls) had blank tapes in the deck waiting for a favorite song to come on the radio. We loved it all despite easier conveniences of today. I still have all mine, but can’t play them anymore… 😞 *** AND a correction here… “Fantasy” NOT “ Emotions” by Mariah Carey was played at the dentist’s office. I actually remembered it in the middle of the night! Crazy how things come to me so I just had to share that… 🤪

You’ll notice that smiling photo of Ultimate Warrior back in his early days below. Ah yes~~~ he had the best smile. 😊 He also inspired my title today as no, not always! I decided to watch a little of the “Always Believe” DVD, just some snippets of my choosing. I rarely watch Disc 1 much but closer to the HOF moments, I will more along with parts of 3. Warrior was talking about life in the beginning of the DVD. Most fans know how he portrayed the character of UW, which allowed him to be somebody larger than life which then allowed him the opportunity to do life his way~~~on his terms. Warrior got the chance to be a superhero of sorts, which then enabled him to do a simple thing called LIFE. Huh? What does that mean exactly?

I will expand on his words somewhat today as I have in the past but for many of us, it can be tricky. Life isn’t always simple. It’s messy and complicated at times, right? It sure is but again warriors~ it’s all on how we respond to it that matters. I do realize that some of you readers will highly disagree with me and frankly, I don’t blame you. After all, many are in dire circumstances or distraught with pain, family obligations, debt, and lots of other scenarios. I get it, truly I do. This isn’t about all that although I am not naïve to the frustrations of others. It’s real and it’s ugly quite often.

We need the simple though, we absolutely do. When was the last time you did something simple and easy but were fine with it? Really FINE with it? No big fuss, no extravagant details but maybe bordering on boredom? That’s good once in a while despite warriors probably thinking that if one isn’t busy, it’s not living. That is false, so don’t buy into that expression. The reason people don’t want downtime is because it scares them. Yep, it does. When you aren’t on the go all the time, your mind might play tricks on you but here’s the great part. You don’t have to let it!

There are the moments when we need alone, quiet, or stillness to think and let our soul speak to us. That doesn’t mean to sound crazy, but inspiring. Be creative and do something fun that isn’t so cerebral or brain based. I’m not saying to be irresponsible but just to lighten up some. Even warriors need fun and silly stuff, including Mr. Warrior himself . I have shared plenty on here… 🤭 We can have our thinking caps on (like I used to say to my preschoolers) but shake those ropes and let your heart decide what will come next. I know it’s ultimately hard for many of us to do, but we need it all. By all I mean the head, heart, and gut like I say on repeat. The gut has the final say so let it be your #FinalBoss.

Making life simple will look different for any of us. It can be to declutter, buy frugal (yet nice,) plan an easy day, or things similar. Don’t be bored out of your skull but just to~ here it comes~ my mantra~ “go with the flow.” See where the day takes you if you can without the hustle and bustle of work, schedules, or routines. We need our livelihood for sure but make space with a relaxing time to just be. It can entail a self love day or just hanging with those you want. That could’ve been mentioned last week! Sometimes, we do have to schedule those kinds of events but please fit them in because it’s necessary. You don’t wanna leave this planet someday and think all you did was work, work, work, do you? Again, I do understand commitments and expectations to survive financially but life is supposed to be fun too, correct? It sure is and most of us crave more of it.

I know if I don’t get a little break from heavy events that drain me, I would scream or should I snarl? 😬Even just a simple change in environment helps too. It might not be much but the serotonin in our brains will respond along with our endorphins of the heart. Listen to what your intuition tells you. I am doing that more and more without overthinking or overreacting. This means I’m not analyzing so much that I can’t just * FEEL * my way through a situation. Yes, we need the logic but allow the simple to come forward. Life will be easier when we respond in healthy ways instead of giving into those negative feelings of insecurity, doubt, or worry.

Warrior allowed his life to become simpler as he withdrew more from the professional business of wrestling. No, he didn’t just sit around on his 10 acres in New Mexico but found exciting ways to let life work in different directions with more flow. He was always a busy guy for sure but listened to his gut, which determined how life would go. Warrior always did that but with his family, it became more simple for him to just be without obligation or pressure. Life can be simple warriors if we let go of those ropes just a little and allow ourselves to flow into who we truly came here to be. I hope you can let life work for you and not work for your life. Then, like Warrior you can say “…to make a life and to be ME!” 👏🏻🏜️🥰

My Happy “ Harmotions” 😬😍

Yes, warriors that is a word as I did look it up. Guess it’s some computer game, but that certainly isn’t my definition! Warrior had “ Destrucity,” I can have “ harmotions.” I was thinking too much in my head (super typical) and somehow combined hormones with emotions so there you have it, a new word of mine. I laughed so hard and decided it fit perfectly with today’s post. 😂 After all, there are words like “ kranch” and “ hangry,” right? Last week’s very emotional post made me know I need the humor back and my bet is, you do too. That pic you see of a plush Ultimate Warrior was sent to me by my cousin the day we were heading to TN for my niece’s wedding in December! I got it from her shortly after we arrived~~~ how awesome was that? To know she was thinking of our travels and my anxiety means the world. I never asked her where she spotted him as she included no explanation, but it made the rest of the day truly ultimate. I just had to use it as a photo, of course! Isn’t he great?

Another happy “ harmotion” happened a few weeks ago on a Monday night. My Ohio State Buckeyes college football team became the 2025 National Champions! They were facing those Irishmen~~~ Notre Dame. I usually don’t follow that much but when one of my OH teams gets to a final, you bet I’ll be watching. Just like when my Cavaliers won the NBA title almost 9 years ago now as many probably know who they faced! Hint if you don’t here… It’s been mentioned many times and is also in my book. Gee~~~ I wonder what their team name is? 🤔 ~~~ Getting back to college, it was a great game but OSU was blowing their lead. Notre Dame could’ve tied it and even went ahead, but that did not happen! The Bucks won 34-23 without an overtime. I was so super excited to see them win but there’s more. The last time they won was in 2014. See where this is going? That was 11 years ago and they also won by 11 points. There’s a great number connection once again. The master number I have referenced before so how about that? ❤️🩶🏈👏🏻

It gets better warriors. Shortly after the win, I had realized about that number 11. I put it together with the date of their last win (made me think of Warrior) and the points won by. My right ear started ringing. Yep, it sure did so thanks Warrior~~~ message received. Happy harmotions again because I always believe. 👂🏻 🤍 It was a fantastic night, but boy do I hate nailbiter games! It’s always fun when our sports teams win a biggie because of the rarity. Other teams win much but Ohio does not so our fans are expected to go a little nutty. 🌰 Hey, a buckeye is a nut and that’s our state tree. “ Brutus the Buckeye” is also the team mascot for anyone wondering. He could so fit with the Golden Era of the WWF years having the double B’s. Just not “Brutus the Barber,” ha ha!

Do any of you have some happy harmotions going on lately? OK, it doesn’t need to sound like your teen years with that word combo but come on, we need those moments of giddiness sometimes right? I love when I get mine and that’s why sometimes have to jot them down if they can get used in a post. I know many of you don’t do that but just think of some stuff that gave you those great feelings! It’s kind of like my cloud 9️⃣ “go tos” of a few weeks ago. I bet you have yours and you know what? Just because we are adults doesn’t mean the joy filled child like antics need to go away. Alright, we do need to be responsible but just once in a while it is OK to be a little nutty! My daughter even said how I got more excited than her dad did. She said to him : “ Mama gets more into it than you.” She meant her dad. Aren’t guys supposed to get into the game more? He does and did but my harmotions always overtake many situations. Sometimes that’s a good thing but then other times, I have to keep it in check. Are you like this?

You readers who follow frequently know that aspect about me, especially concerning Warrior and all my years of sharing on here. Really though, it can be anything and yes~~~ I do have other times that bring up the harmotions. Will you start using that word now? I have to keep auto- correcting it!!! I hope you do or just create your own. That just came out of me and was very spontaneous. It’s the best feeling and I laughed a long time about it, still kinda am. 🤣🤣 We need to find those bursts of happy things in many ways. I get tickled over a great meal, a song I hear, ( you all know this,) a new place to visit, or anything similar. Our lives have to be shaken up a bit just like how UW shook those ropes. Life will have its crazy promos that no one can make sense out of but you. We also have that moment of splashing down for the win. Yes, those were references to UW for non-wrestling fans wondering “huh?” but they fit here metaphorically speaking.

Find your happy harmotions warriors. It doesn’t have to be hormone crazy, but perhaps harmonious instead based on a blissful emotion. There, I adulted it up a bit for you all. Warrior had that sense of humor when he wanted and most didn’t see it much. Mine is quite the same. I’m glad there are some memories out there with him because take it from me like I have said~~~ he STILL is funny. I can and do speak on that so believe if you wish. Here’s to many happy harmotions in your life. Be open to anything that fills you up in the best way. Mine were that plush UW doll, a football game win, and the number 11 with my ear ringing. A 3️⃣ count, yay!

P.S. You can also get back to WWF here with happy harmotions being HH! Wait~~~ no, not Hulk Hogan! BTW, I heard he just became a Grandpa to twins! His daughter is now a mom. 💙🩷

Ultimate Merch & Messages

I said how more pics were coming from those WWF magazines so you will find one below. ⬇️ I still haven’t totally read the entire issues cover to cover but hopefully soon, I’ll have the time! I did read all the UW articles though. 😉If you had any of those back in the day, I’m sure you saw extra added inserts of merch dispersed through the pages. This one I loved with lots of UW stuff on it. There were others but I liked this page. The items they marketed then~~~ oh my as true fans loved it all. Did any of you own what’s shown? That jacket made a few appearances on the weekend shows. I can’t imagine the guys always posing for the countless photo shoots, but such was and is the life of a pro wrestler or even athlete. You get a 4 count with them, not a 3 ha ha.

Onto the messages… the day of my daughter’s graduation party, I had some wonderful things come my way. Lately, it’s been hawk feathers, literally all over and one really BIG one too. I am connected to that bird so I love its feathers as a sign. I saw many robin ones in the yard when setting up a table and then in the middle, ~~~ a hawk. A keeper for sure. Thank you team ⬆️ for letting me know all would be well. Then, also in the morning I received a beautiful heartfelt message from my spiritual cousin. She knew that day would be an “ultimate challenge” for me in many ways. I will quote some of what she sent but I can’t give her full credit. It was authored by another but she thought to send it my way, which is very typical of her. 🥰Here are some words that touched my heart as I didn’t fully feel I had earned some of those sentiments. I try to be better every day so I am humbled that she thinks I do deserve them. Here’s a few:

” when you give, it’s easy to see that it comes straight from the heart… I hope you’ll never forget how much I treasure just being in this world with you. You are such a deserving person. ”

Oh my goodness, I was moved by that as tears came. 🥹😭I’m not perfect as none of us are but she truly lifted me up so I could face the day and she called me amazing as well. What a wonderful soul sista and I treasure her too. She has no idea I mention her on here 🤭as she is not an attention seeker either but those that respond so genuinely will get recognized by me, always…

The next message I received was an email *** ALSO*** the morning of the party which overwhelmed me. I rarely get “fan mail” about this blog but so very grateful when someone takes time out of their day~~~ THEIR day to type me a word of thanks. I know he is probably reading as I hope he doesn’t mind the plug. I have replied to him personally but had to acknowledge him on here of course.

He has plans to order my book (so sweet…) 📗 and shared some very personal details about his life with me. I’m so honored how many have felt close enough through these writings to express their lives and love of Warrior to me. Warrior gave him inspiration and hope during some dark moments in his life that he so treasures. He met him and has his own private memories that he will always remember. I’m so grateful he attended WM 30 and even *** BEFORE*** 😮knowing Warrior would be inducted into the HOF. How’s that for listening to your gut intuition like Warrior always told us to do?

I also (as it was informed to me) had used a logo sign on this blog featured at the HOF and on camera! I will give him photo/ art cred here as I do believe which one it is. I had to look it up but think I know. 😊It’s beautiful art as I do try to showcase fans work every now and then. He told me to keep writing as I will for now. As long as we enjoy what we do and have a passion, it is needed. A million thanks to that wonderful warrior fan for believing and trusting me with his story. I hope he enjoys the book too. 👏🏻🙏🏻🙂‍↕️

We are all so needed in many ways for whatever work we put out into this world. Maybe with those we disagree on it becomes difficult to see their worth, but it’s still there underneath. The universe also does deliver but like Warrior had said~~~ we have to do the work too. Those messages guided me to a better feeling that day but honestly, we get messages every day. It can be easy, simple things that quite possibly we overlook. They aren’t always direct like a feather, text, or email. While writing this, I saw a blue butterfly~~~ which is RARE… 🦋One almost landed on me years ago when writing. Anything can brighten your day even when least expecting it too.

Wake up every day warriors to just be thankful for your gift of life because never does it not matter like the man himself said. Despite our craziness, we are more than what meets the eye. Once labels and façades (or masks) 🎭 get removed, we can truly be ourselves without hiding. That is when we receive the messages we need most to see, read, or hear. It’s when we are open to receiving and feel worthy that they manifest into form. 

Our team ⬆️ is always working on our behalf to let us know they are here to help when needed. Sometimes we ask, sometimes we don’t but they respond in one way or another. You can have your Warrior merch and channel the ultimate one or notice messages in other ways. Just know it is for our greater good to always believe… THANK YOU WARRIOR for keeping me on MY ultimate path to always know your power is here. My messages DO come from the ♥️ as I am so glad others do the same.

P.S. Why not? You can find my book – “Spirit and Belief” on Amazon and other retailers. It’s my beginnings but the stories are all ME and boy have they expanded more in this blog ☺️💙

…

Hit the “PAUSE” button ⏏️😐

Hello warriors and to those in the Northern Hemisphere~~~ happy Spring or Vernal Equinox. 🪱🐛🌷🪺🪴 That happened yesterday ( although we had a mini 🥶 blizzard) when the daylight equals the nighttime, just like Fall or Autumn. You’ll see me down below with one of our many flowers blooming this time of year- 🌼 ~ daffodils. I took that pic last week. Guess what? Those purple tulips STILL have roots, stems, and leaves. I wonder when or if the buds will appear? They usually *** POP*** that first week of April so I will wait and see… 🤞🏻 Oh, when, taking this month’s “selfie”, my ear started ringing. How beautiful. 😊🥹

How is your year going so far during this seasonal change? You know what I did a few months back? I made a list of GOALS, not resolutions. When I open my notebook to journal quotes and such, I see them right on my loose page tucked in. Attainable goals that is and here are a few:

***Read more 📚 , (of course!) try new supplements that are safe and healthy, clean🪣🧽 with less chemicals, stretch my core more with new exercises, 💪🏻eat more fruits/veggies and less junk, ~ (SO HARD!!! ) 😲 see my Healer more, ( highly suggested) follow my intuition more, avoid drama when necessary, set more healthy boundaries, honor my emotions, release attachments to things out of my control, become more grateful for little things, honor change as it happens, manifesting our future home, being authentically “ME” despite critics, finding like- minded people, and a *** FEW*** others…

Yes, I wrote ALL that down as Warrior would approve. Do any of you do this or have you? I have mentioned goals before, but is it a yearly thing with me? Nope, as I sometimes neglect but always have right minded intentions. Some of those remain quite challenging for me as your list could be for you. Like I said last week, we must “do the work” however it is.

Despite all that, it is still a pause time for me. After Easter, the school year goes so incredibly fast as then we seem to be in hyperdrive. This is especially true with having a senior in high school… 😬🥹 *** It’s also WrestleMania season so happy 33rd, (great number!) to WMVII in a few days. How is 40 going to go? I finally looked up the card but most of course are consumed by the title once again this year. Will Hulk Hogan’s streak remain if Cody wins it finally from Roman? Yet another we shall see moment for sure🤔. The tag team match with The Rock returning will definitely make this year’s Mania 40 super exciting. *** Guess what ELSE my brother told me? SummerSlam this year will be at none other than our very OWN Cleveland Browns football stadium in August👏🏻😁🏈!! ! How incredible for this town! I am so happy! That capacity is around what it was at Skydome for WMVI but WWE is hoping for 70,000!! They were here in 1996 for S. S. but where our basketball team plays. If Ultimate Warrior hadn’t left, I bet he would’ve been there. *** PAUSE*** moment for me here…

We need to hit that pause button sometimes warriors, even when we don’t want to. It’s like pressing the snooze button when you want those extra 5 minutes of sleep in the morning. Do phones even have that feature? I wouldn’t know as I am probably in the minority with not keeping my phone by my bed or using it as an alarm. Nope, not for me in many ways. We have this go, go, go society but often times, we need to listen to our gut of when it is time to pause. We also don’t need to be in hyperdrive feeling the comfort for downtime. Just giving yourself a few minutes of YOU or ME time is all that’s needed. Being alone, or in a quiet frame of mind is healthy and so beneficial to us in many ways.

What do you do when needing to say pause for just a bit? I have my slowing down indoors for winter but even then it can’t be a constant busyness of crazy. This is the time that’s the calm before the storm in a way for me. Every year is a little different but so many “DOOZIES” all creeping up on their OWN just waiting to converge. In the midst of it all, instead of attacking it full force as many might think a warrior would, I will do what I can, when I can, and even *** PAUSE** through the moments. No rush, just staying present for each one and giving the right amount of me every time.

If it is any different, I will be “running” too fast like the Ultimate Warrior did and may feel like I missed it fully. I recall watching a backstage clip of Warrior interacting with Sgt. Slaughter during WMXXX weekend and how he mentioned something similar. Warrior wanted to remember peoples faces and interact with them more but being who he was in the business made that so difficult to do. He made a joke about Sarge’s face but I totally understood what he meant. I’m so grateful Warrior was able to hit pause, just somewhat on his life after wrestling without feeling the need to constantly be on the go. He wants that for all of us here *** NOW*** ya know? At least that is what I believe. How can us warriors not know that?

I sometimes wish I had that feature of a real pause button like on a remote we sometimes see played out in movies. It’s when so much is going on in a scene and then it pauses. Everything freezes and becomes silent for just a few seconds for that one character. You know what I’m talking about, right? That’s what we need to do only without all the effects. Even if you have to excuse yourself for a few moments, do it! Take that time to just settle despite the chaos. We can’t freeze time, but just find the calm in the storm. No storm ⛈️🌪️ lasts forever. Hit the *** PAUSE*** button when needed warriors. Your own self will say: ” thank you, I needed this…” 🙏🏻😌😵‍💫🫵🏻🤍
