Goals, not Resolutions

🥳🎈🥂3, 2, 1- happy 2025 warriors! I did a backwards 3️⃣ count to ring in this new year. It is here and I am ready to begin again. Just a few extra loose ends to tie up 2024 first. I forgot to mention another great connection in my last post of events through the year. It was when a friend stopped by my house to buy the book 📗 ( “ Spirit and Belief”) and we had a lovely conversation outside. I was so grateful to hook up again and for her interest in my work. Many thanks goes in her direction… 🤗Another moment was this past December before my niece’s wedding in TN. They decided at the last minute to hold the ceremony outdoors despite some rain, but it worked out. As I neared the chair to sit down, I noticed a little ladybug on the edge of my seat., just for me. It got me teary, 🥹 and the ceremony hadn’t even started yet. With some drama, I knew all would be OK with Ms. Ladybug 🐞 protecting me. Anyone remember my other ladybug story of several years past? Another moment I found unbelievably true and yet ultimate all at once… ❤️🖤

I DID mention a big number was coming up so here it is. The 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣th post is officially today! 😀👏🏻Writings that is and not my practice posts in the beginning, I don’t count those. That’s quite a number as even the Ultimate Warrior down below is celebrating, ha ha! He’s “running” into this new year, but I used it to show a backstage camera angle rarely seen so there ya go. If you’ve been here for all 400, go treat yourself to something special. You deserve it. I love how a milestone fell on NY day as we begin on 1-1 yet again. Let’s see~~~ hopefully not too many biggies this year as I need a break! The only 2 that come to mind are WMVI turning 35 ~~~ 3 months from today (yikes!!!) and the 40th anniversary of when Warrior and Sting started their wrestling career come November. That’s a ways off so we’ll stick to this month.

I don’t call them resolutions but goals. Yes, I am finally getting to the topic today! I try to jot down a few or even many and you know what? I saved my paper, (which is typical of me…) that had some goals for this past year of 2024. Most were accomplished, but a few are ongoing. I haven’t made one yet for 2025 as I will need to think some… 🤔 My mind imagines and *ONE* is still something I send out to Warrior or the universe. One of these days, I will try and make it happen. 🙏🏻😎 🎢 Some help is needed, though. Resolutions CAN happen, but most people are not truly disciplined to see them through the majority of the year. I can be, but just choose the word goals more. Make them attainable and don’t put too much pressure on yourself if a few don’t quite culminate the way you’d like.

Which word do you prefer or do you make a list at all? I’m not the one to approach an idea the same every year is that becomes tedious to me. Some ideas I love repeating, but then others get stale and I need a fresh start. It’s kind of like how the UW character had a little of the same, but then needed new to feel like he was evolving. I believe that’s true for all of us. We like our same but need excitement to keep our lives moving. Not running like UW but you get the idea. Even if you don’t make resolutions or goals, just go into this year of 2025 with positivity and let all the past SH*T go. Be authentic and do what you love. I will do that too for sure.

Oh, I did recently receive a note about my warrior batteries post which still attracts interest! 🔋🔋 I know I posted that pic on here way back in 2016. There’s a woman who works at a company in Japan, where they sell warriors batteries. I looked up the site. Another guy from Mexico I think mentioned them once too a few years ago.? Needless to say, they would still make me think of Warrior himself, no matter where they came from in my candle lantern and I will always believe. They were what I needed to see then on my journey as he guides all who truly are part of this warrior way. 💙

Very soon my kids will be back to college. A month long break it will be for my son! My daughter will be beginning locally so she can commute. We got her a car and she’s close to being set with her schedule. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 it all goes well and she transitions from dorm life which just wasn’t for her. She did very well with the wisdom teeth too and didn’t want any meds. I am super proud of her! ❤️‍🩹 I need some Calm brought into this year, but it is always filled with surprises along the way. You will have yours too. Winter is here, but maybe it’ll be a mild one. I hope so. Snow has definitely arrived here in Ohio. ❄️ My body does not like the cold. I did not feel well for several days starting late Christmas Eve at my sister’s. I was down for the count and hated it! It was passed around briefly in my family, but I’m much better now. My body hates meds too like my girl so I have to be inventive.

Well, warriors~~~ that ends this 400th post on the first day of 2025. I hope you keep reading and start some goals that will inspire you to be your best warrior self this year. We need new energy and are getting some, I can feel it. Welcome January, and let’s slay all the naysayers!

P.S. my beautiful cousin thought of me recently while she was in a store. Pic coming soon! Oh, and this post of 400 should’ve been a selfie, oh well… 🫢🤷🏻‍♀️

P.P.S. Here’s the other ladybug 🐞 post:

*** Scroll past the old website news… this was posted 3/3/21….

What a YEAR! 💙💪🏻😳

We are here warriors ~~~ the end of 2024 and what a year it has been for sure. UW down below from “ The Arsenio Hall Show” is wishing all of you Happy Holidays! No extra Christmas props this time in the photo. I still have the paper elf costume I made last year! 🤭 Did you know there are around 17 holidays from the U.S. Thanksgiving until New Year’s? That’s a bunch which are celebrated worldwide. Whichever ones you acknowledge, I hope you have wonderful memories before we pin December to the mat. 🎅🏼🎄

As you readers know, I do my own recap of blog posts, dreams, and other times that perhaps stood out during these last 12 months. I started this in 2020 which was the Covid year. I had to gather my notes and place them in order pretty much but warriors~~~ it was exhausting to my mind reliving them all. 49 posts, one shy of 50 and the next time you’ll read from me will be NY day as I take 3 weeks off…. I’ll just mention how there were 6 dreams this year. 5 I have blogged but one I did not.

The one I didn’t post involved Warrior speaking (once more) at a convention that also included my mom and spiritual cousin. I was there of course and it became quite comical. Warrior had said a statement identical to one on the “ Always Believe” DVD but it referenced *** ME*** in a way, so kinda personal. 💕 It also included my mom and a topic Warrior joked about. I won’t say exactly but it did make me laugh! Still does. I probably woke up laughing. 😂

We also had a dream about “ Slam Jam” (with those wrestlers in that pic,) Warrior signing: “ Kathy- may all your dreams come true” in my book, he and I doing paperwork together, him being interviewed while I listened and watched, AND my son watching UW at my grandparents house?! I had my magical number of 6 visit me once again as those dreams total that this year.

I’ll continue with a few posts relevant to me and the first one was written January 3. It was “ Believing is Feeling” which became a topic centered around a book I read over the winter break. What a profound experience that was in my life and one I reread quite often. It was the first one ever that I rewrote I believe 3 times…***There were so many family milestones this year as well, but a few significant ones written are having both kids in college and my husband and I meeting 25 years ago. Lots of others involving numbers and still my mom’s 80th to come on Christmas Eve.*** How about the WWE? We had the lawsuit at the beginning, The Rock joining the board, WMXL, Hulkamania turning 40, and the first time in over half a century with no McMahon running the company. Oh, and “ SNME” makes its return this Saturday night with Jesse Ventura as one of the commentators! My bro reminded me of this… I will have to look for clips when we get back from our trip…

That leads us to the 10th of Warrior’s passing on that day of the solar eclipse in April. I just *** PAUSED*** a moment. I also wrote about my love for him being the first time on paper, which surprised me but I thought it fitting to do so. My UW tattoo also turned 10 on my daughter’s 18th birthday, which was on a Wednesday! 💚

How about the memory of when I got two old WWF magazines from “ The Wrestling Collector” store in New Jersey and one was free!? That led to new pics and quite a funny story before our summer trip. So, that began using other photos that I thought I never would. Warrior’s career with The Blade Runners, Dingo, and even earlier on with bodybuilding were just a few. I’m so glad I could write those stories. A&E’s “ Most Wanted Treasures” on UW finally aired that episode in July which also became a goofy post with my girl writing her graduation thank you notes on that night. 😉

I hope you readers read some silly stuff about “ The Warrior WHAT’s?” and other close-ups. It was time for that banter after some serious posts back then. 8 years of these writings and 7 for the book were celebrated in October. “ Spirit and Belief” is still out there for any interested readers as I always believe and thank you for the support. 📗 I also worked with a new energy healer this year a few times and had a little oops at the center… 🤢 So grateful she was able to come to my home to finish that introspective session. You can read all about that experience.

Another topic I had failed to mention in my original notes was the “ Mr. McMahon” docuseries on Netflix. I disliked writing that post. I did include some nostalgia and empathy though. You can decide for yourself if it was Fascinating or Ruthless? That was the title.

Well, warriors~~~ that’s the bell 🛎️ at the end of this match. 2024 brought A LOT of interesting and busy posts for sure but we always need the mix of being simple at times too. I hope all reading enjoyed them and perhaps you have your favorites! Who knows what will come our way in 2025 but I will be here bringing you my writings in early January. I wish you all a beautiful holiday time with celebrations that bring you fond moments to look back upon. In a few days, we leave for my niece’s wedding in TN and then back home for the wisdom teeth girl all before her dad’s b-day. My goodness~~~ this has been a crazy year bouncing off all the ropes! 😬Next month, marks a HUGE number so you will have to stay tuned… 👏🏻

I hope your year was busy, but that you also got or will get some rest before this year ends. If it’s been a rough time, please know I care and just keep being the warrior that you are. Do *** YOU*** because nobody else can. I will connect with you all in 3 weeks so enjoy (or at least try) to have fun in whatever way you can during this festive time. Keep reading old posts if you need to catch up. Oh, and a few newer pics never used are coming! Happy holidays warriors… 🤍🕉️☮️

P.S. HBD’s to all 3 WG’s as I recall they are late December babies. 🩷🩷🩷🎁🎂🥳

~~~ P.P.S. My girl got a 91% on her afterlife paper. I told ya I’d let you all know as I am so proud of her! 

Redemption or Revenge? 👏🏻💙💪🏻

I have a few things to mention before getting into today’s topic. First off, last week marked the 37th anniversary with the television debut of Ultimate Warrior. Yes, I do bring this up every year but it’s always worth a mention. How is it getting to be close to 40 years, oh my… I was 15 and a sophomore in high school as that began all this for me. Do you lifelong fans remember that time? No milestone but still a time to look back on if you are or were a fan of his and following the old WWF in the 80s. *** What WAS a milestone yesterday though was my husband and I remembering 25 years ago when we first met! I can still picture all the details. I know he does too… 🥰. ***Lastly, a few days ago here in the US was Veterans Day. I did an entire post on that several years back. I honor and salute all of those vets, including many in my family who have served this great nation of ours while defending our land. Thank you for your service… 🇺🇸🗽🕊️

Moving into today, you’ll see that pic below of when UW got his IC belt back from “ Ravishing Rick Rude” in SummerSlam 90. It was his redemption after losing it in WMV earlier that year because of “ The Weasel” Bobby Heenan’s interference. I won’t call him a brain but Warrior one could also say got his revenge. To me, it can be both. Let’s stick to this scenario in the WWE. Did you miss me talking about wrestling, fans? How about this past WMXL? I can describe Cody Rhodes’s win as redemption AND revenge against Roman reigns. If you follow or watch, you’ll know what I mean. We want and need a positive word like redemption but then with sports in particular, we want that negative word of revenge.

Case in point with it being a little personal for me. 8 years ago, if anyone had been reading my blog or even purchased my book: “ Spirit and Belief,” you may remember this story. I think it was one of the longest in the book actually! My Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team 🏀FINALLY became the NBA champions after beating those Golden State Warriors. I still can’t call them that… They stretched at all 7 games and it was super close. The year before both teams had faced each other for the first time but my Cavs lost in game 6 (on Warrior’s birthday.) The following year they won it all in 7. 2015 could not have repeated! Redemption and revenge all at once. I think the cherry on top for me was when LeBron James stepped off that plane back home in Cleveland wearing an Ultimate Warrior T-shirt. He “claimed” it was his last one in the suitcase but many knew he was a fan when younger. It just so happened that part of UW’s name belongs to that CA team so was that worn by LBJ on purpose? 🤔We will never fully know, but it made me feel pretty ultimate to see that revenge. We shouldn’t be that way but with sports, it comes out in us.

I won’t get political on here ever but feel the need to mention our next President elect~~~ once again Donald Trump. He had been associated with WWE and the McMahon family for years. He even had Linda on his cabinet. Him winning this recent US presidential election also begs the question of what his victory truly is. Redemption or revenge~~~ for a second term, years apart. You can decide that on your own but it’s another example here as it does get “roped” in with talk of WWE and his history with the company. Several WM’s were held at his venues through the years too.

Let’s get back to Warrior for a moment. His return to WWE in 2014 ignited an intense possible reunion. Many expected him to perhaps bash others in the business during his time in NOLA at WMXXX or just to avoid some altogether. He could’ve gotten his revenge for the past in how he was portrayed. Instead, none of that happened at all. He got redemption by surprising most spectators there during his HOF speech and beyond. He evolved in such a way few ever would’ve known or believed to be true. All of the old vengeful acts were behind him and now it was his turn to be redemptive. He always shocked people back in his prime with many actions and still was upon his return to the business that made him a superstar, only in a new way.

How do those two words fit in your life? Can you think of times where both mattered? I’m not condoning revenge in regards to evil of course but just other areas where you felt that desire to maybe “get even” or let them know what it feels like to be on the other side of a situation. Maybe you couldn’t accomplish a goal but then at a later time, you did. That’s good redemption and one you could be proud of. It can just be a personal dream or something similar. We shouldn’t get so bent on hate that we play the “eye for an eye” game and yet many times, that emotion surfaces and we succumb to it. We are human after all and nobody’s perfect. Just be aware and try to course correct if you can for a future time. Don’t expend your energy on what doesn’t matter. Leave that bad karma alone and focus on the good. It’s super hard to do this in some aspects but it’s truly the best and healthier way to be.

Redemption or revenge? Both strong words that are part of our lives. Let’s bring forth more redeeming qualities we can be proud of and leave the revenge part. You will be grateful you did. UW’s matches were “scripted” but I know he felt those words too in his life many times. Warrior opted for the good near the end of his time here. I hope someday I will do the same… 🤍

P.S. Tomorrow marks yet another very memorable day as well. 1992 brought the final match between the Ultimate Maniacs vs Money Inc. on SNME for the tag team belts. I always remember this time not just because it was Warrior’s last appearance for many years but also because I had a very special moment happen to ME that night shortly before the match. I will always remember~~~ although before, I had forgotten. 🤭 🅾️

***That date of November 14 also brings my 2016 memory that is mentioned in my book. 📗 That was when I went to Toys “R” Us and saw some Ultimate Maniacs action figures plus a car with New Mexico plates on my drive home. Warrior lived there for any wondering….The same date with references 24 years apart…Yep, I will always remember those special times too.

🥹❤️💛

Saints and Scary Stuff 🙏🏻😱🎃

Tomorrow is Halloween or All Hallows Eve if you prefer. That was always such a busy time when I was younger. The reasons being that day or night really, and the next few days as well. November 1 is All Saints Day and the 2nd celebrates All Souls. Of course those are Christian holidays, but ones we recognized when growing up. Being in 1st grade was when we dress up as our “patron” Saint or one you’d be named after. Yes, us Catholics were named after Saints. It can even be your middle name. Mine is both. I did not purposely continue that tradition with my kids, but it just so happens their middle names are Saints. Well, I was Saint Catherine of Siena (which is a town in Italy) and I totally remember. I bet my old grade school still does that while singing “ When the Saints Come Marching In” at Mass. Such a cute fun time.

This post is supposed to be scary stuff though! I just wanted to reflect on some nostalgia. Many cultures have traditions different than ours as Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is all about parades, parties, and dancing to remember those loved ones who have passed on. The Warrior family acknowledged this being in New Mexico. Here, it’s mostly about the spooky and all that. I still love the cute Halloween costumes or seeing the littles but nowadays~~~ it’s more with scaring the living daylights out of everyone! That isn’t for me. As a teacher, we could never wear or use anything that would frighten a child. I was a clown once 🤡 but didn’t paint my face. I just had a red wig and nose, and that still scared a few! I would tell them: “ it’s just Miss Kathy!” This is back when clowns were remembered for being in the circus and not horror movies. They were considered good and happy…. Maybe you all have read my cat claws story or those times I was more boy costumes. My favorite was Sleeping Beauty. That was when I was a teacher as well. I bet you all have your own costume stories to tell too.

I never even went to haunted houses at all as my friends didn’t either. I’ve also said how horror movies or anything similar is not and will never be for me. My daughter loves some of it though. It affects me way too much despite it not being real. Hey, that sounds familiar! Great lead into some of Ultimate Warrior’s opponents. 2️⃣ come to mine for me. I bet you fans can guess., Of course it would be The Undertaker and Papa Shango. Even though I was older, they still scared me~~~ fake or not. They still would’ve even if Warrior would not have faced them, but obviously not in the same way. There were many other SCARY wrestlers over the years and some just frustrated me. I used to love clowns as a kid like my costume when teaching. I had two clown dolls when I was a girl and one I ordered through a catalog. Horror movies and Doink the Clown ruined the fun aspect of them. I loved dolls too and then they also got put into horror films. UGH… I dislike it! What happened? Why do people like fright so much?

I’ll move onto a scary moment for me 5 years ago yesterday. And, it was a Tuesday just like this year. It has been written but a very unpleasant night for me right before Halloween. I won’t tell the whole story, but it started to happen October 29 when I was carving a pumpkin. My heartbeat went from rapid to very extreme. Thank goodness I was able to make it through my son’s Fall Band Concert before going to the ER that night. No medical issues were detected so that was great news. No one could feel it except me… The following week, my psychic medium friend helped out a lot as yes~~~ I believed. I did not go to her for that reason, but it kind of turned into that as I really needed some other kind of help. Even my husband became more of a believer during that time… BTW, 5 years prior to the day in 2013 WWE released 2K 14 in the US as I will always remember. Yeah, that date again. That was quite a frightful time in 2019 as I felt my heart literally beating out of my chest. It became the beginning of many spiritual gifts opening for me which I was unaware of back then. I had a few other scary moments which then culminated in my ulcer a few years later, but yes folks~~~ it all connects. It’s similar to my girl’s topics with her paper of last week.

Back to this holiday, how do you all celebrate? Is it full of Saints or spooks? Maybe both and as we all know, Halloween isn’t just for kids. It is fun to dress up and I would probably shock people if I was a-fright! I have shocked a few over the years with my choices though. It ends this month of October before the big holiday season begins…

I’ll wrap up with a positive note today. Not entirely saintly, but definitely not spooky. My girl has yet another assignment. This time, it’s designing a book cover for one of her art classes. She asked me for help once again and decided on cats. No, not a black cat that would relate to Halloween, ha ha! She loves cats and definitely our tabby. She had to decide on a byline (as she asked what that was…?) plus colors and images. I did not ask her to look at my book, but she did anyway. Awwww, proud mom moment. 🥹📗 Her book is about a library cat. Can you believe that? She used a book theme! Great lead into mine here. “ Spirit and Belief” is sold where you find books and if you’d like to read about my experiences with Warrior and spirit, look it up. You didn’t think I would let this go without a plug when she designed a book cover did ya? That moment presented itself for sure. 😉 I was so happy with my cover and still am.

However you do Halloween or the celebratory days after, just be safe and have fun. You can be a saint or spook, but avoid the trouble. Let’s honor and respect those who have gone before us in a memorable way and be happy for their time here. That is what they want from us. You can scare but do it in a fun way and not a frightful one. Happy Halloween, All Saints, all Souls, and whatever else you choose. Just don’t dress up as The Undertaker or Papa Shango! 😯Anyone remember 10 years ago when I saw a boy at my son’s school dressed as Ultimate Warrior for their Halloween parade? That was a post all its own and I will link below. Oh, my tears back then… 😭No pic of him on that post although I took a few just for me. The back of him and not his face. I am no stalker! At least I hope those kids didn’t think so…🫣

P.S. 10/30/17

*** Plus, there was someone dressed as a Gorilla 🦍 in front of him!!! Can you believe that? Warrior fans will understand or even fans of Mr. Monsoon… 😳

The Spirit of BELIEF 🏍️💙🤍

Yes, I do realize those two words have been used plenty on here and most importantly with my book title, but there really weren’t any other choices for today’s post. A few weeks ago~~~ you read a lot of anger from me, laughter last week, and now this one is of the spiritual variety. I had to get back to that soon enough, right? Who would’ve guessed with both kids in college that one could still give me ideas!? My girl is at it again. 💡 I almost used the word “paper” with the title as I recall my story of being a senior in high school, writing a history paper and doing research at the library. That’s when I found the WWF magazine with Ultimate Warrior on the cover… *** Let’s get back to the present though with my college freshman’s elective course on DEATH… Yep, she’s kind of fascinated with some aspects and it can get a little morbid. This is about the GOOD though~~~ mostly an afterlife and spirit world (like my book) or whatever you’d like to call it. All of this is ONLY possible if you believe. It’s all about belief.

Before I get into some of this, I’ll just mention this week’s photo along with last week’s. These two I have always wanted to use and yet hadn’t. Last week’s image of UW was sported on a WWE truck years ago as all three Warrior girls had posed in front of it. It’s super popular and I can’t believe it’s never been posted! This week’s motorcycle has also been around as I always wondered who had taken it. 🤔 Who knows what happened to his custom built bike as I have never found that out. There are endless photos to use as I only need a few more for this year… *** Despite some possible skeptics or unbelievers, let’s move into my girl’s almost finished paper.

First off, I was honored that she asked me for help considering her mom is no expert but she knows what I’ve been through, explored, and topics relevant to my life. Next, she decided to focus on primarily the afterlife but also reincarnation, animal spirits, and immortality. It all connects. I shared with her a few books and authors I am aware of although she can google on her own. I know it’s a little confusing, especially based on what we have been taught and then quite possibly how we evolve when older. Many many points she wrote I had to repeatedly correct her on because technically, they aren’t facts. Again, it’s all about a belief system and not necessarily what can be proven. I have said a few times that my initial beliefs aren’t totally gone, they have just become more open minded to other ways. Also, I have had personal things happen to me and even been told things by those I trust so it takes a new turn when it affects your life.

I remember one question she had asked me was this : “ if we leave our body when we die, how is it possible to be up in Heaven ( or whatever else you’d like to call it- parts unknown) and do things?”

She’s referencing the belief once again that when our soul returns, we can experience all that we loved up there as it was on earth. We may possibly choose to come back at another time. If this doesn’t resonate with you, that’s OK but how can you not believe that beautiful image? We don’t have physical proof of course but there are many who have endless stories of being hypnotized or brought into visiting those who’ve passed on through well-known mediums. It’s like visiting briefly because of various reasons, but then being brought back to remember. Yes, you can read endless accounts but if you have little or no belief, this post isn’t for you entirely. *** PLEASE*** keep reading though!

Let’s go back to the photo of Warrior down below on his beloved motorcycle. If any of you recall, I had shared how that was something I mentioned every day during my meditation. I like to say all of his favorite activities or hobbies, at least ones I knew of. For those who are still actively grieving someone or holding onto anger, just imagine and have hope they ARE doing what they enjoyed HERE. Think about someone you know who is passed and despite sadness~~~ picture them in places they loved, interests that gave them joy, or being with people that they were close to. Yes, we will always miss them but we need that hope and belief to cling to. I know for me and all my loved ones, that technique totally works every single time. Just like picturing Warrior on his bike. It fills me with joy too, just like it probably did for him or still does. Don’t get me wrong. I do not go around all day conjuring up images of passed people. That is not my work. Believe it or not, our loved ones DO want to help us in any way that they can. ❤️

If any of you fans have his first comic book~~~ which I wrote about many years ago, it is filled with two full pages where he writes about past lives, evolution, intuition, our higher self, and so much more. You’ll also read about his beliefs of “ Destrucity” which mirrored Buddhism and spirituality. It relates how one must master these attributes in order to evolve, even after we pass.

I will link the wonderful YouTube conversation I had with my fellow published author cousin where we discussed many types of spiritual topics and how much can be revealed through dreams. It’s about what happens when we die so if interested, check it out. Just ignore the end where I reference my website which no longer exists… I could go on and on about all this and more, but I will leave it brief for now. Whatever your believes or how they have involved, just be intentional and believe in the good. Also know that terms you use don’t truly matter. Our Creator , (if you believe in any words) or an afterlife, Heaven, spirit world, etc., are just human words to help us understand a little more. You may not even believe our souls move on or that we can also communicate with our passed loved ones. Experiences may never happen for you and that’s fine. Just remember you are loved and make the best of your life here. This can be our Heaven on Earth as one of my authors states in her book. *** I’ll let you know how my girl’s finished paper turns out. We all have beliefs. It’s up to you though to see them through. Your spirit will always believe… ☺️

Eight is GREAT! 8️⃣ 👏🏻✍🏻🙋🏻‍♀️💙

It’s early October. If you’ve been here you know but if not, it’s anniversary time. 8️⃣ years of these warrior writings will be official on the 4th, 7️⃣ years of my book ” Spirit and Belief” getting published on the 7th, (7 on the 7th- yay!) and 10 years of my story about “The Box” told on here ages ago but also detailed in the book. That’s a 3️⃣ count and what a great win! Before “gearing up” today, I’ll address the title a little more. Yes, it rhymes and I liked it but NO~~| it doesn’t reference the 8th of April with Warrior’s passing. Maybe you fans read that as such but it isn’t what my 8 is about and for this post, it’s great! I’ll say it like “Tony the Tiger” in the Frosted Flakes cereal commercials. 😂

I have mentioned spiritual meanings of numbers before so you can look up the GOOD pertaining to 8, but I will always think of it as infinity. When kids, maybe you made your 8 with those two circles as it was easier. Turned sideways, it represents the infinity scroll as you might know. I wanted that logo under my chapter headings when they misunderstood and used a book scroll but it still works. Warrior has infinite energy and so many other good spiritual traits with 8, perhaps it was Destiny how that number came to be with his return back to parts unknown. I love how THAT meaning of THAT number shares with my warrior writings today (or in a few days, technically.) From 2016 to now, how?

Hard to believe a year has passed since I took that pic of me on my living room TV hutch posing for a “selfie” alongside Warrior in a tux from the “Always Believe” DVD. That doesn’t seem like 12 months ago. This month’s photo was quite comical when the idea came. Some of them I just dread as I can’t think of anything creative but then I did! For the first time, you get to see MANY of my posts in their original format scattered on top of my box . I couldn’t leave them inside for as Warrior told me: ” I don’t belong in a box.” More on that in a bit. I wanted to somehow display some as after a few years, I run out of room and up to the attic they go. That’s an even bigger plastic tub which contains writings and my books. I did the best I could showing just a small sample with taking the shot on my own. Any more attempts and my pile of folders would’ve fallen over! Oh will my kids have fun looking at these someday when I’m gone. I won’t wanna watch up above if they don’t, ha ha! I’m sure Dana had to decide what to do with all Warrior’s journals as well. Yep, I have several of those. Not to worry though… I do have them all organized for me. I just wanted to show some of the sheer ultimate volume to you all!

I recently just met up with a friend who wanted to buy my book, how sweet was that? We had a great convo at my house and she is enjoying it so far. She loves the writing and sent the nicest compliments my way. I’m always so touched. 💖 She and I go back several years with my days as a vendor and only after seeing her at a Reiki healing session did she remember my book! I honestly don’t bring it up much anymore, but I’m so glad she felt inclined to personally purchase from me. A beautiful lady indeed with gifts of her own. 7 years, just a few days within a year of the blog. It seems like yesterday and forever ago once again…

That takes us to ” The Box.” I’m not detailing the exact story, but it was funny how I used my actual box and put the writings on top for the photo today. It was only then how I was reminded of as yes~~~ 6 months to the day after he passed, I had the box experience with Warrior that will be 10 years as well in a few days. His other phrase was: ” Don’t put me in a box.” 📦 I will link that post but it is paraphrased from my book. Gosh, my writing was so simple back then. The book story has MORE details than the blog post. My first reaction after reading the post again was: “That’s it?” I didn’t even include my OMG reaction or even questions, but I hope you gain some spiritual Warrior perspective. Always am I still totally overwhelmed but grateful for answers now I didn’t have back then…

Wait a moment here…. *** PAUSE*** While typing that out, my left ear was ringing quite loud. Give me a sec to clear my tears… thank you Warrior… 🥹

There you have my annual 3 October anniversaries as I reflect every year. I am also close to achieving a HUGE number on these writings and if I do the math right, it’ll be coming right in time for the new year. Oh my, 2025 soon it will be. I cannot possibly thank you all in person with those who truly feel compelled to read each week or at least often enough. Honestly, it does mean so entirely much to this warrior woman bringing Warrior to you all in a different way. Always some of my life mixed in because well, it needs to be that way too. If you ever feel like reaching out to share your stories, memories, or positive inspiration from Warrior, please do. A few of you have and I am so honored by your beautiful words. Thank you for your trust as it takes guts to open up to a stranger on the Internet. I do hope you regulars look at me and these writings as more than “strange” after all this time but if you read for the entertainment purpose, I still appreciate the support. 🤍🥰

It’s been an incredible journey, traveling all over the world each week as wherever you are reading makes a difference. It’s such a lost art with us adults anymore like writing which I’ve stated, but it’s so important in many ways. We need to always be educated and learn no matter our age as Warrior himself had said. Social media nowadays occupies much of our free time but for those who look to my blog or any others instead of the latest social post, I bow to you. To those who pick up an actual book, I bow to you. To those who write down ideas, goals, or simply inspiring quotes in a journal, I bow to you too. You get special warrior recognition for those added interests we so still NEED to savor in our lives here. You don’t need to be like Warrior or even myself, but just take time to do what fills you up. If it is a forsaken skill, even better.

Thank you readers for this ultimate ride of 8 or even 7 years! I love sharing and love your interest always. Mr. Warrior~~~ you know what’s it’s in my heart so thank you isn’t enough, but it needs to be for now. ❤️ Here’s to year 9 and keep reading fellow warriors! Happy anniversaries as we begin this new month…~

*** Here’s the post on that experience with Warrior but again- better details in the book. ☺️📗

P.P.S. You can find book info on Amazon and other retailers if interested in my beginnings with wrestling, the Ultimate Warrior, and then Warrior in spirit… It’s a humorous diary of sorts with lots of little stories! ““Spirit and Belief.” Thank you all and always follow your intuition…

“These Dreams Go On…” 😴

Another month is upon us~~~ July. I always loved this time when younger because it was the only month of no school, ha ha! That’s still applies to my kids but tomorrow here in the U.S. brings our Independence Day. I love fireworks 🎆 🎇🧨 always, but it scares our furry dog friends~ including mine. However you celebrate and if you do, stay safe. Happy birthday America! 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙Today though is my sometimes partner in crime’s birthday~ my brother. 🥳🎉 This year so far I wrote on my dad’s 80th, my daughter’s 18th, and now my bro’s! No milestone for him but yet another family birthday. I’ve had many other dates that fall on blog day and it continues.

The dreams continue as well, although not as frequent as before. I used part of a lyric above from the group “Heart” as music connects for me, regulars know this. A little while back 2️⃣ dreams came so I will share those today. They both showed different times in Warrior’s life but went in reverse. The first one was how he looked 10+ years ago, but the second one was probably mid 1996 with his long blond hair. I was there for both as the first one concerned an interview Warrior gave about his career. Not sure who was interviewing him, but I was nearby.

I can’t recall any specific questions, but I do know what Warrior said afterwards. He was questioning some of his answers, asking:” Did I say too much?” “I probably did, didn’t I?” “I rambled on, I shouldn’t have said all that…” Well, even though he said a few of those statements~ it all depends on what was being asked, I believe. Sometimes he would go on (as I tend to do…🤭) but then other times, he wouldn’t over share and that’s OK too. Warrior was always honest so perhaps he would not have regretted his answers but that’s what I heard while listening on the side~~~backstage if you will. That was the gist of the dream but we do tend to critique ourselves as I KNOW Warrior did during his final RAW speech too, but not sure of what was asked of him in this dream. I was glad to have been there witnessing one of his many interviews later on after he left the business and could contribute his own brand of speaking.

The second dream, I was more involved with. I wanted so badly to find a pic to use with a similar look of Warrior’s then, as I know I have seen a few. They were probably part of several workout videos he had put out there but I failed to find exactly the specifics of him wearing a white sweatshirt, red bandana, (like the workout vids) and had his long blond hair pulled back.

We were both sitting at a long table going through paperwork for some reason. The funny part is~ once again, my real life here intervenes. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine posted an old pic several years back of me sitting around our bonfire during the book club days. It was on Instagram. I had on a sleeveless red shirt as it was summer *** AND*** I was wearing that shirt in this dream! It actually started quite a different way. At first, it was me and my mom in my childhood home looking at old black-and-white family photos like a collage. Maybe that came to me because of my daughter’s project. She has been assembling a collage with all of her friends high school memories and it’s quite the task . I applaud and admire her efforts despite this crazy summer.

So, maybe those influenced my paperwork dream with Warrior, who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️I could see him looking through much, handing it to me, signing stuff, etc. No idea what it all was about and no recollection of any convos either. I was obviously involved along with him in this project, and we seemed to keep it moving quickly! We were on a mission, that’s for sure. Think more like signing documents, not autographs. 🤔☺️

Well, there you have it warriors on this first post in July. 2️⃣ dreams showing Warrior in different aspects of his life with me “tag teaming” in, sort of. They were great to be part of since believe it or not, dreams are becoming quite rare these days. I know his energy is always there but we have evolved and as much as I miss those kinds of dreams, it is what it is. I did however, happen across a Bluejay feather last week on Wednesday~ yay! AND it was the day of an energy healing session for me. It was beautiful to receive because I decided on another practitioner of late and was a combo of nerves and excitement. 😬😁

As it turned out, she was adorable! She listened to me as I told my story, ( of course she became fascinated…😏) and I even showed her in the shop where a few of my books were. She is writing one too! Every day she comes into the store, she notices my book with its pop of color. 💚🩷🧡I received the sweetest compliments from her despite not really pursuing the author lifestyle. She pointed out my vulnerability and opening up to even write such stories so that touched my heart. It’s not a baby book anymore so hearing those words made me light up. 💡I will probably see her again and not just for the kind words. What a beautiful soul she is and we bonded over many things. 🤍

*** Until next week, keep your dreams close warriors and happy July! Oh, my book: ” Spirit and Belief” is out there wherever you purchase if interested! 📗 It explores the beginnings of following Warrior’s career in wrestling, dreams, and this spiritual connection I have. Lots of good stuff with short ‘lil diary type stories that I hope inspire any of you! 🥰👏🏻💪🏻

P.S. I was also called : ” a beautiful ray of sunshine.” ☀️ 🥹😉

I’ll take it as I love summer, ha ha! 

Be your OWN Storyteller…

All right, you caught me. I am using another bodybuilder pic for the second week, but I have to say this. When first deciding how I could finally get into that topic just a bit, the photo I thought of initially was that one below of Jim Hellwig, (a.k.a. Warrior) once again only this time on the cover of a magazine. Bodybuilding began his storytelling if you will, although chiropractic school garnered his interest as well. After that, it became pro wrestling. What a story he had and told but we all can do this, just in our own way. What makes a good storyteller? I sure hope you think I am with bringing you this content but today, I am highlighting another area here.

As years went by, Warrior began to use his voice more than his body and to me became that much more powerful. If you’ve seen any of his video work, you’ll know but that’s not what I’m referencing exactly. I love his stories but it’s *** HOW*** he came across to audiences that made a lasting impact. The people who were there heard him share the intensity, discipline, and lessons that made his life work. OK, sometimes there would be yelling or 🤬 but honestly- ( without being biased,) I could listen to him for hours. He just had such a compelling voice that I truly believed resonated with interested people. For those unfamiliar, just LISTEN for a bit. Even if I had never known him as a wrestler, I would be captivated by his storytelling.

I have written about my former book club leader Pam who is another one of these people. She had this way with words that would totally just make me melt. I had given several talks over the years and was always complimented, but I can’t hold a candle to these very gifted ones. Pam along with Warrior knew how to carry a room with just the power of their voices that generated such stories. My interest was held and still is. I wish Pam well in her retirement down in Tampa, Florida. I miss her. My spiritual mother that I truly needed… ❤️‍🩹

Another woman who had been mentioned mostly on my older blog about spirituality was Louise Hay. She founded “Hay House” and their smaller company of “Balboa Press” published my book- ” Spirit and Belief.” Oh look, another plug. I had to have a 3 count! 📗 Louise was a pioneer and truly helped so many people with her generosity, programs, and gifted healers. Even if you disagree or are skeptic, just listen to one of her many, many videos out there or read her books. You won’t walk away disappointed but lifted and energized. Her voice (like I believe I’ve said before) just makes me wanna curl up in her lap~~~ in a good way of course. She was another beautiful storyteller and had such a fascinating life. Feel free to look her up if wanting spiritual insight or just to hear a positive voice which may draw you in…

The last person I’m writing about today is brand new to the blog, but he came to me so we get two guys and two gals. This man I had met as a teen through church. No fretting, this is not meant to be religious at all so keep going with me. Deacon Stan would always blow me away with his preaching and I loved when he was a co-presider. Another wonderful storyteller with a transcending voice that made me pay attention better during a service. From age 5 to 95, he related to everyone. It didn’t matter the topic of discussion, I could’ve stayed in that pew for longer than an hour as I do believe he did give other talks to different groups. Fast forward many years later as we had changed churches. He gets assigned to the parish we originally belonged to! It’s complicated but we were back there and here he was. I was so excited to be part of his talks once more as an adult with kids of my own. Again, despite the religious part of all this, he still could hold a congregation with his soft demeanor, yet fair sounding voice. His stories mentioned family, personal experiences, and bringing a Creator into the conversation. He could’ve read or talked about anything and I’d be hooked. Remember that expression of : “he could read the phone book!” That doesn’t stand today but you get my point I’m sure.

Deacon Stan became ill and eventually passed away several years ago now. He was so young to me… 😞 I no longer attend any type of religious service but still did back then. I cried for days knowing we’d be without such a profound storyteller. 💔 I can only imagine him using his talent up above to captivate audiences still. His voice was just like Warrior, Pam, and Louise, who were able to bring their stories to life where others could not dismiss or ignore~~~ despite some possible resistance. Yes, 3 out of these 4 have passed on but will forever be remembered for the impact they made with their voice, actions, and storytelling. Do you know people like this? I hope you do and treasure what they bring forth.

*** My daughter is part of this post yet again because of her recent storytelling which made me well up. 🥹🥲 She decided to write letters to all her good friends as they graduated a few weeks ago. She did not tell any of them about her act, but wanted to say goodbye on her own terms for their high school years together. I hope her friends keep the letters she wrote of remembering all the stories they shared. I was overwhelmed by the desire to let her good friends know how much they meant to her. Writing is storytelling too, just in a different voice. ✍🏻

***On Father’s Day (like several years past,) it would’ve been Warrior’s 65th birthday. No big b-day post for him this year but that’s OK. We will be on vacation like 2 years ago for Father’s Day but not intentional. I’m taking next week off while we visit Michigan for a few days. We loved it there when my son graduated and now returning, only to a new area as my daughter just ended her high school years too. Her graduation was a beautiful night with many stories we will always treasure. I have said to tell your stories, however that looks whether you use your voice or the written word. You don’t have to be like Warrior, Pam, Louise, or Deacon Stan. Be the teller of YOUR stories so YOUR legacy will be felt by others willing to know it.

P.S. Catch up on past posts while I’m gone! HBD Warrior and happy Dad’s day to you always. 🩷🩷This ends the 6 months of year 10 with his birthday always culminating around now. 💙I miss him but his spirit is around everyday…

*** Get this~~~ I was at the store the other day copying photos to use for my daughter’s graduation party and the total came to $6.16. With tax the total came to $6.66. That can be a SCARY number to some but it’s me and my 6’s coming back once again… PLUS Warrior’s bday… 😉🫢 If I had added one more photo, I would not have had that total. I received a receipt totaling $6.16 a few years ago close to Warriors’s birthday as well. I always get a sign… How fitting now though that it was when I was making copies from my girl’s beautiful graduation 👩🏻‍🎓 night… 🥹 6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣

From Skinny to Strong 💪🏻💙

Welcome to June warriors! Summer☀️ will officially be here in my area later this month as it’s my favorite season. I told ya I’d be using some newer pics on here once again so as you can see down below, we have a young junior bodybuilder named Jim Hellwig, aka- Warrior. Yes, I can finally relate to *** THIS*** topic just a little as that part of Jim’s career was off-limits to me. If I can’t connect, it doesn’t get written as you readers know. Now, however, I have a story. I’m quoting from my book: “Spirit and Belief” for the second week because well, this story comes right after the tattoo one of last time. I had to look it all up since I couldn’t remember but how awesome to have a story about my daughter and my son in a row~~~ not planned. That story is called: ” My Skinny Strong Warrior” from chapter 24.

To rewind just a little, several years ago my husband bought our kids a beginners workout bench to use. I thought at the time it would get ignored and at first, it did not. After a bit though, it did as he eventually gave it away. 😟 The novelty wore off but I so enjoyed seeing them put it together. Here’s part of the story I wrote back then: ” My son seems so young and yet I was reminded of Warrior who was around this same age when he began lifting weights.” My son at that time was 12 and is now 20. 😳 I continue on with this: ” I hope he develops a consistent practice so his interest peaks more and more. This young man of ours might be finding his destiny just like another skinny kid did back in the day.” Well, he is finally more so doing just that- only 8 years later…

This final semester in college he had gotten a new roommate briefly. His one friend transferred back closer to home, so the new guy hailed from Maryland! Why he is studying in Ohio, I still am not sure 🤔 but we were told he is an amateur weightlifter. He had piqued my son’s interest and gave him some pointers. Some of those ideas I had given years ago but it’s always different coming from a peer and not a parent. When our guy got home for his summer break, he started using my husband’s workout bench as I just SIGHED knowing we had given away the other one. Nowadays, you can download a Fitness app to your phone or watch YouTube videos which is what he is doing. Times have changed, haven’t they?

Lately, he’s been slacking but began running 🏃🏻, playing more basketball while working up a good sweat 🏀, and then finishing with weights 🏋🏻‍♀️. He also improved his diet but by being home eating Mom’s meals and packing a lunch more, it helps. No more of McDonald’s 🍔🍟 while working all the time, heck no! He’s even lost a few pounds so it’s turning into muscle. Is he into bodybuilding? No, but is definitely taking a more active approach to fitness which started with his new friend. He may not see him that much come fall but hopefully, my son will continue down this more physically fit lifestyle. He was never a big kid but wanted more strength in his core.

We shall see what the future holds with his endeavors, but like I said in my book ~~~ I will stand by him and who knows, he might just have some help from that “warlord” up above. Years prior when in middle school, one of my son’s vocabulary words in social studies was warlord AND he even was a warrior in a game they played at school. All of his friends were peasants or merchants but HE was a warrior. He only shared that story with me and not his dad. How about that? 🥹 Warrior went from skinny to strong and now my kid is doing the same only of course not in the exact way. He was just inspired by another young bodybuilder type of a different generation.

Have you ever had something in your life that didn’t exactly work out the way you’d hope but then years later, it finally does? If you truly think about it, we probably all have at some point. Sometimes, it just isn’t meant to be or wrong timing maybe. Months or years go by and then it gets “locked up” to make it work. It could be a job that didn’t pan out, a move which doesn’t line up, or other issues in your life. You can let it go for a bit and just let it FLOW or keep pursuing it (like most of us do) where we push too hard, fight, and it doesn’t happen.

We need to abandon things at times because honestly, it shouldn’t be that hard and if it is~~~ it’s forced. The Universe helps or however you define it but we still need to do our part. Just don’t “over effort” like I’ve said before as I truly need to remember always. My husband pushed our workout bench on the kids and got them excited to keep track of reps, lifts, etc. but then it waned. We really tried to get them into other interests besides video games or YouTube. We need as parents to back off and let them choose their own way. We can give foundations or directions but then let it be as the seed gets planted. You can go from skinny to strong on your own terms but often, we need time to develop. It worked for Warrior to go fast but for most of us, we are not that rocket ship at full blast. 🚀 Enjoy June my readers and pick up a copy of my book if you feel so inclined for summer reading! You’ll find that story, last week’s and many more at a retailer of your choice… 📗Book plug, week 2…

P.S. Remember summer reading lists for school if you are old enough? Not to worry, no book report due! I always read mine— of course… 😉📚

Warrior Tattoo, part ♊️💪🏻💚

***I have not used the word Warrior in a title since January…

Here we go again with yet another part two, only this time years later. I’m using the Astro symbol for Gemini ⬆️ since we are in that season. That zodiac sign belong to Warrior but it also belongs to my daughter who gets mentioned frequently on here. Before all that, I do have to apologize for the photo below. I look like a contortionist of sorts! It was the only way I could fit my warrior tattoo in the pic with me taking it alone. The reason it gets another mention today is a 2 count. It is the 10th anniversary of when I got it along with my girl who turns 18. Yes, today is her 18th birthday which means 10 years ago~~~ she turned 8. So, besides April— we get another 10th in May. What a milestone it is for both… 🥳🍰

I will share some quotes from the story in my book: “Spirit and Belief.” It’s rare how it gets a plug anymore and that’s OK but you can find it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, my publisher~~~ Balboa Press, and wherever you find books if you are a reader or interested. It’s my baby book of sorts. ( My phone typed “swords” 🗡️as I almost kept that in since Warrior was “The Swordsman” character in the movie “Firepower.” Too funny! 🤭 The book shows the beginnings of the warrior journey I am on. I have written and experienced SO MUCH since then but it’s a fun, interesting, emotional, short read of my adventures. Here are some snippets from “My Warrior Tattoo” chapter 23:

” I had two concerns about doing this and they were quite valid for me. First, I didn’t want it to be a sad reminder just because he passed and second, the aftermath of explaining its meaning to those who won’t understand.”

Yep, still true today– both statements. Here’s another: ” I must admit that the hardest part for me was not getting the tattoo but telling the artists who the Ultimate Warrior was.” *** One guy knew but others did not. I already had one and then a few years later I got a third. I’ll stick to a three count.

A fun one here about that zodiac sign (which was a post done years back all about Virgos – me- and Geminis : ” This girl is also a Gemini like Warrior was and her traits are extremely similar it often blows my mind.” *** Funny how back then I vaguely followed astrology but I looked up a few things. Now, I follow it a little more closely but it’s only part of my practices. Here’s a little lovey: “Maybe I was meant to get that tattoo on her birthday as a special reminder I will never forget. I did tell her what the tattoo means to me and who it was in honor of. She thinks it’s cool and points to it with no words. I know exactly what she means.”

*** That was powerful for me to write and some of you may remember a story quite sometime back when I recalled my 3 tattoos with her. It was titled: ” We Are Never Done.” She doesn’t totally remember that time of 10 years ago, but still respects her mom for having the courage to incorporate his legacy. My brother then had reminded me between my 3 tattoos, it is 6 years. Yep, that number was ever present back in those early days but it still makes an appearance from time to time.

Well, those are just some of the goodies of many emotional beautiful feelings from me. My girl made me laugh back then as I needed it the most when she accidentally saw it on my arm! How is she 18? She had the senior prom a few weeks ago and looked so stunning in her dress while having a fabulous time with her friends🥰👗. She just also marched in her final Memorial Day parade with the band just the other day🪈❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 and now graduation is tomorrow night 👩🏻‍🎓. I know I’ll be all “business” but hearing “Pomp and Circumstance” still gets me choked up. 🥹🥲Believe it or not, I just watched Warrior’s tribute to Randy on my saved videos last week. I actually was just scrolling and then remembered how he passed in May so how fitting to have found that. 3 years later, Warrior would join him… ***If you are or were a fan of them both, find that video. I’ve linked it before but it is a wonderful tribute to “The Macho Man.” I imagine it as his induction speech into the WWE HOF instead of the one he actually got. I digress yet again… 😑

How is it June this weekend? I knew May would fly by and we need a breather. You’ll be reading a few more posts from me and then I’ll be breaking for a brief trip back to Michigan. We went there after my son graduated but this time, a different area. Until then, look for a few other NEWER pics from me that I have not ever used. It’s another part of Warrior’s career I had yet explored and now, I can. You’ll have to keep reading to find out! I am ready for swims in the pool, 🏊 BBQ’s 😎☀️, sitting by the fire, 🔥 and all the summer feels. We have a busy couple of months with prepping a new college kid, but as always~~~I will breathe through it all. The to do list does become shorter and shorter every day.

I wish you all a happy June as we say goodbye to May… Hard to believe we as a family will no longer be associated with a school district. Just like I usually say- some stuff I’ll miss but others I won’t. New beginnings are tough as we all know but can also be exciting. My son will be moving into an apartment for his third year at college this fall. That will be quite an adjustment having them both gone for a bit but we need to evolve like life has to be. I will treasure all the moments and take them in the best I can. You need to do the same no matter what they are. Take breaks when needed and find a quiet time just for you. We all need it despite the crazy. After our vacation, I will be prepping more for her graduation party. It seems like I just did that~~ two years went by in the blink of an eye. I still see the word FLOW so that is how I have to be. 🙂‍↕️🌊

Happy 10th to my tattoo, even though that sounds silly. It isn’t to me because it gets shared with my girl’s birthday for the rest of my life here. I will also complete her photo wall collage with adding the last one. Very bittersweet🙂‍↔️ it will be, but I have my Warrior strength always~~~ especially when looking at my forearm. Two celebrations in one day and both I will never forget. Oh those Geminis, how can I possibly ever not feel their energy? Both part of me in different ways and forever pieces of my heart.💙💖

P.S. To all you fans of U.W. ~~~ Yes, I finally *** DID*** have several more emotional moments last month. The floodgates opened but not in the same way. It was more little things that have happened in these 10 years. We will never forget but need to keep being our OWN warrior. Channel that inner Gemini with all its expressions of embracing life!
