Spiritual Salon Stories 🧡✂️🤍

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There’s Always More..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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! 

Three Count of Dreams 💪🏻

Well, warriors- I had said more dreams were coming so gear up for a three count today. I don’t think I’ve ever given a preview of the next post and yet here we are. This all came to me most recently and I believe they were in the same night. Guess it was time for a three count and it gets more detailed as they move on. They also seem to connect with Warrior’s life more so than mine but I take it all in. Let’s start with dream number one.

No idea where I was in this dream but in front of me was a large box of Ultimate Warrior merchandise. Most may know I have a small collection but nothing like this massive collection. There was so much good stuff in there but I vividly remember picking up the exact mask from Warrior’s final appearance on WWE’s RAW April 7, 2014. The whole crowd wore those as did Warrior which made me pause. This mask is in the book: “A Life Lived Forever.” I got that out a long time ago and the strap broke. It was a PS once for a post. I wasn’t meant to wear it. I held it for a bit and then continued on looking at action figures, magazines, belts, and so much more. I was alone but no recollection of this belonging to someone in particular or if it was part of a store. Hmmm… That was it but very cool to see all that great U.W. merch in one place.

The second dream was a little more detailed. This one occurred in the living room of my childhood home. I was there watching our old console T.V. which I can totally picture. Warrior was starring in a movie similar to “Conan the Barbarian.” Yes, fans know he was “The Swordsman” from “Firepower” but he had said years ago how continuing the Arnold Conan series was of interest to him. As I was watching this unnamed movie, there was a close-up of Warrior with his blonde hair and he was in shackles. He obviously had been captured and was being tortured- oh no! There was a woman nearby but I couldn’t tell if she was hurting or helping him. She looked similar to the actress Nora Lum who goes by the name Awkwafina. Can you picture it? I so hope there was a good ending but in this dream , that was the only seen I saw. I can imagine Warrior in a role very similar so I thank him for coming even if it was through my old T.V. set.

The last dream of course was the most detailed. I hope you can follow along and again- these are my observations and instincts. It’s how I connect the dots so I just go with my first thought and don’t question. OK, now that I’ve set you up, here we go. This one was outdoors and I felt it to be during a frat party in college. I was in someone’s backyard at night as there were lights all around like a summer BBQ. The yard was filled with people, tables of food, drinks, music playing, dancing and just lots of fun. Yeah, it seemed like college kids but very tame! Warrior did attend Indiana State for one year and he looked very young in this dream. It might’ve come about as I had watched an old clip of him and Steve Borden- a.k.a. Sting. I have seen this before with those early Freedom Fighter days in Memphis but watched it again. It’s a clip were Phil Hickerson (whom I wasn’t familiar with) comes up to Jim and Steve and mocks them for just being muscles with no talent. Steve says nothing but Jim challenges Phil to a match. The photo above was from that video. You can look up how that gets played out but imagine Jim’s look then. His hair was just a little longer. That’s similar to his look in the dream.

Here’s another funny connector. Jim had a friend in this dream– no not Steve! But immediately I thought of the show “The Middle.” That comedy aired on ABC for 10 years and the oldest boy went to East Indiana State for college. He had a close buddy on the show. “The Middle” took place in the state of Indiana so Jim and his friend to me in this dream were like Axl and Hutch from “The Middle.” I watched the show and loved it all those years.

I hope you are still with me here… I was walking through the backyard crowd carrying a plate of food for Jim and his friend who were in a tent nearby. I thought later on why I would be doing this?! Get your own food guys! Anyway, the plate contained fried rice and green grapes. Huh? Oh well, that’s what they were getting. I can’t fully connect the grapes but the rice was a real life similarity. My husband and I had recently gone out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. One of his sides was fried rice and he made a point of showing me the peas which I’m not too fond of. I don’t mind them in pods but I’ve never really liked them, even as a baby. I guess those peas on that plate of fried rice made their way onto another plate in this dream. Crazy! Our real lives matter too. The grapes didn’t factor into my real life but they did in this dream. It was a cute moment but the rice story is funnier so I decided to share that instead. 😂🤭

I brought the guys their rice and grapes and we chatted a bit in this tent. No clue on Jim’s nameless, faceless friend but it was interesting. Was it really a frat party at Indiana State? Who knows but I sensed it that way and thought of “The Middle.” I had never had a dream of Warrior that young but guess I got a little glimpse into a college scene. Next time, they can get their own food, ha ha! I’ll probably laugh when I see fried rice and green grapes again. 😜

So, I hope I amused you all this time around since the last few weeks have been quite heavy and emotional. I like to find the humor even with some editing at times which I need to do. Who can tell what’s next but I’ll be here to share. I wish you all good dreams as always. You may not get a three count like mine but never stop believing in your own warrior power— minus rice and grapes!😴3️⃣☺️

P.S. I recently made a *NEW* youtube video on some really funny stories that happened with my kids after Warrior passed! You can find it here or go to my channel for more goodies on him or spirituality. (: It’s 10:38 in length and all about those Kid Warrior-isms!

Learning Life Lessons 💙

Last week was popcorn, this week is well- maybe some tissues. I didn’t intend for this post to be sad although it could come across that way for some of you. As for me, I wasn’t sad but just felt bittersweet and overwhelmed in a new way.

Have you ever had someone say something that surprised or even shocked you? I’m not referring to horrific news but just a statement that made you stop and ponder. 😧That’s what brings us all those life lessons we learn and continue to learn while connecting with others. This was another story that occurred a while back and kept coming to me so I decided to share. It just stood out for me in a new way very much like the Ultimate Warrior did all those years ago.

After this blog had been around a few years and then stories got published into my book Spirit and Belief, I was a guest on Harmonic Journeys podcast. This is the group I belong to where I’m in a book club along with other intriguing spiritual topics like moon ceremonies, meditation, holistic fairs, etc. The woman who hosted the podcast I had seen at a few events and she still continues to have the moon ceremonies. I wish the podcast was still active but sadly, it is not. This was done in Oct. 2018. I may have shared the link back then. She would interview all sorts of us folks wanting to share our stories and gifts. I contacted her to see if I could be a guest. Never had I done anything like this before and was so excited! She had not heard of Warrior but her now grown sons loved Chynna. She also had not known of her passing and said to me: “Oh, I’m so sorry.” It seemed like Chynna was a personal friend of mine. That is just how this woman is with being such a beautiful person inside and out. I love how she says “right on” a bunch too. It’s so groovy (:

After the podcast which she praised me on was finished, my friend bought the book and we chatted a bit. She wanted to know more about Warrior and his life. I love when I encounter those who actually have NOT heard of him because they are non-judgmental and never overly biased in a negative way. You ask me questions, I’ll do my best to share what I can and they are fascinated. After a few tidbits on Warrior, I told her about his passing and how shocking it all seemed to be happening so fast. Her response was:” that poor man.” I had never heard anyone say that, at least not to me about Warrior. It would be more like his poor family or something similar.

Sure, I could’ve got all emotional and said how he did things in extreme ways like with working out and all that but I didn’t. I did share his family history of heart issues but this didn’t change her reaction. Kinda stunned with tears in my eyes, I just sat there not knowing how to compose the rest of my thoughts. I obviously never forgot those words but not once took them as sadness. Remember my post on compassion? It’s about empathy, not pity which none of us want- especially warriors. She also kept adding to that with how young he was. Yes, indeed. Others may have taken “that poor man” in a negative way or even agreed but my feeling wasn’t that and I understand so much more now. Just because we live our lives a certain way and make choices unlike others, does not mean life has to be shorter. It can very much so but that is assuming and we shouldn’t do that either.

Another connecting story actually happened a month or so ago at the end of our book club. We were asked to name a few positive aspects of the person to the right of us. Even if you didn’t know them that well, you had to wing it. The woman who complemented me had this to say: “She’s a good reader.” I was honored as that fits me but then I felt like I was in grade school again. She added: ” I just love your joy and you are filled with such light.” Well, there ya go. Another statement which surprised me a little. I left there feeling so empowered because we need to do this more. This can be pretty easy complimenting those we like or even us fans of Warrior but what about those we don’t? Can you still say some positives in their favor? Try it out. Warrior haters may never do this but I give the rest of you an ultimate challenge. Look to those in your life who need a possible light to shine. You may not be able to say it to their face but think those thoughts to yourself. It will raise your vibe up as all of us have good qualities despite what we perceive to be negative.

Let’s learn these life lessons of being better to others and their situations no matter what our opinion might be. I am working on this constantly too warriors. If you think or say something nice to someone, they may just return the favor. The comments will stay with you and we want those good ones. My friend meant “that poor man” in a way that made me never forget. Be that someone to another. No judging, just understanding. It’s what we all truly need. Warrior needed it too. We can be those warriors who rise above and be the light in their darkness.

P.S. Warrior never would’ve thought of himself as “that poor man” in life or in death. He had a very full existence and never needed to prove it to anyone. 🙏🏻

From Parts Unknown…

Ah yes… This expression was used often by the Ultimate Warrior as it became quite famous in of itself. It actually is still referenced today but again as with most concepts he used, it goes deeper. I’m going a little deeper today as I thought of what to share. My thoughts go from sharing to not, details that will be accepted or freak some of you out, and all that in between. Well, after having a few similarities with some other men in my life, I decided to express my views to all of you.

Hold onto those ropes warriors because this post is kinda different and personal in a new way. Just to preface— I’m not getting religious or even super spiritual but just trying to help you find connectors despite perhaps a sad subject. I’m also not going overboard on emotion but explaining details that involve a three count of my uncle, father- in-law, and Warrior. All three have passed but they share some aspects of parts unknown together. They also share parts in my book Spirit and Belief. Now, they are in a blog post together. Imagine that!

All three had the Universe working to keep them around for a few events in their lives before heading up to parts unknown. My uncle had experienced ill health for a while and by the year 2002, was getting worse. First, it was my wedding and then 2 weeks later was my cousin’s who is his youngest daughter. Little did I know with all the planning just how sick he truly was. Here’s another 222 I referenced last week. Our wedding happened, 2 weeks after was my cousin’s, and then 2 weeks later my uncle passed away. I don’t fully know if he asked to be kept around just to be part of these weddings but am so grateful he was. Not only was he my uncle but he was also my godfather. Even though it became a huge loss, he got to be there for those family celebrations. I needed to see the good.

My father-in-law ( who has a big story in my book but my uncle gets a spirit visit dream mention) shared a little bit of a family event just in a smaller way. I won’t describe my experience in the book but in 2009 after surviving the previous year with many problems, he passed a few days after my son’s 5th birthday. We had promised this boy a small family party at Chuck E. Cheese for months now and he was so excited. Nobody wants someone to pass on their birthday although my uncle above did pass on one of his grandson’s birthdays. It was sad then but I like to look at it as a special connection they have now.

Back to my father-in-law’s story. I did ask to please keep him around so our excited boy could celebrate his special day. I know prayers or requests aren’t always answered in the way we hope but for this time, it was. When my husband visited his Dad in the hospital early that morning, he wished his grandson a happy 5th birthday. Parts unknown delivered and even though my father-in-law wasn’t able to join us, he was still here just less than an hour away.

That takes us to Warrior. I know fans will always speculate on so many details of his passing and I’m not dwelling on the sadness. We all have questions like: “Did he know he was dying?” or “Did he ask to just have that weekend before he goes?” Oh, so many, many more that are not for us to know. Despite all that, the Universe up in parts unknown kept him here to become part of WWE history with WMXXX weekend. I thank God or our Creator, Source, and anything you’d like to call it for keeping him around during all of that. It could have been so much worse with what happened based on where, how, who, and all those extra details. I have my questions always too but we need the good warriors, we ultimately do. 💙

With all three of these men, the Universe up in parts unknown delivered some sadness but enabled the good to happen first. Can you connect this to anyone or other situations in your life? It doesn’t have to be passed loved ones at all but maybe just perhaps some events that universally lined up in a certain way. I realize there is never a perfect time for anything as we have our lives to live.

Maybe you got that job raise just when a new baby arrived in your home. Perhaps even you had an outdoor event scheduled, had to change it but luckily your change resulted in a sunny day. Had it not been switched, a rainout would’ve happened. Look at situations like that warriors. We have to because up in parts unknown, they want us happy. Things won’t always work out as we plan them to but eventually we will see the good. Just be open to it.

Of course I didn’t want any of those men to pass away then and I went thru all the stages of grief like we all do. Whether or not you believe in these universal aspects, just know with the right perspective, you’ll understand parts unknown a little better. When looking back on all three, I know the Universe I believe in was helping on those days. My uncle, father-in-law, and Warrior don’t know each other but I DO know they are grateful having been around to experience a few more celebrated days. I love them all and know they love me always from parts unknown… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Exuberance of Energy 💪🏻

Energy. This word is everything. It is everywhere and makes up all beings including things. Such a powerful word and yet I ignored it. What I mean is when coming up with my book title a few years ago, I was kinda “forced” to find words. You see, I was part of the ALC or Author Learning Center and back then, it was great education for me. They had a possible timeline or outline of sorts for your book. You HAD to include certain info in order to move forward hypothetically but required for the ALC process. A few items were: possible date of release and of course a working title. No way could I even begin comprehending that!

So many words popped in my head and for those that know, yes there is a subtitle. When I finally came up with some choices, energy was included. After all, this is energy and Warrior’s was all over the place. I wrote it down in order to not forget once the real title naming days came. Again, if you know– the word energy isn’t even in my book title! 😬🤣

How is that possible? I still look back at that time and laugh. I even kept the original paper with all my word choices. Energy is right there staring at me as a reminder. It was left off the book but never left out of me. Vince McMahon has been quoted as saying about the Ultimate Warrior:” This man has energy to spare.” He also talked about his exuberance as I can’t leave out that word from this post. Such another powerful word.

When my kids learn about energy in school, it’s all those literal science definitions with kinetic, chemical, mechanical, and electrical. You can study that if you want but it’s tricky though. I’d like to talk more about the inner energies we all have. Ya know– physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Which is most dominant for you warriors? My post The Emotional Mental Connection has been blogged, in my book Spirit and Belief, and even though they are psychic types– energy types apply as well. It’s about gee~~ I dunno~~ me and Warrior (:

Energy is basically the “capacity to do work.” It’s about an object getting and staying in motion. Just like us. Just like Coming Full Circle of last week. You learn all kinds and use all kinds with anything in life. ANYTHING. It takes me energy to write this just like it takes you energy to read it. It’s really about how much though. We include energy with those other “to-do’s” like time, resources, patience, and many others. Your energy inside is what truly matters and not so much the book smarts of learning all the types. Warrior did and STILL does have so much energy. That doesn’t go away when you pass. If you didn’t have too much, perhaps you may not as a spirit. It’s part of your personality and is still with you, even without a body.

Some of you might be wondering how energy works without a body in spirit form. Well, it’s different for everybody but always remember how our feelings matter most. A spirit’s energy can be felt in so many ways and I have mentioned several “main events” with me. What works for some may not resonate with others. Energy can be seen, heard, felt, and even just known. It’s all connected to your beliefs.

How do you use energy the most warriors? It’s so hard giving an equal amount to all of our daily activities. Some days, we are stretched like a rubber band and yet keep going. The truth is you– yes YOU have more energy than actually realized. I know this now more than ever about myself but we all do. It’s how we spend it remember? I for one can’t even imagine the energy required to do so many tasks and in reality we do them. We do them because it’s in our blood. Those professional wrestlers have that exuberance of energy needed to perform but you can have it in many other ways pertinent to your life.

Your energy one day as a spirit will depend greatly on your life energy here. I don’t have all the answers of course but do have the knowledge of energy to know it counts. All of it every single day. Sometimes, we have more energy on one day than another. That’s o.k. and in fact how it truly is.

Warrior never stopped expanding his exuberance of energy but that was how he needed to be. Just use your energy in the way your life needs to be warriors. Also, don’t forget the word ENERGY and how important it is. Without being in my book title, it is forever present in my life and will always continue on even in spirit. 💖🙏🏻💙

P.S. Here’s my entire book title:

“Spirit and Belief~~How the Ultimate Warrior Led Me to Trust Intuition.”

~~ I wanted the word energy after Warrior. ( Warrior’s Energy…)

My Psychic Visit 💙🙏🏻💖

O.K. Settle down naysayers… Don’t let this title overwhelm you warriors. I am sure there are skeptics out there regarding psychics and you have every right to be. My visit came about as a result of knowing this friend for a few years and also after many months of inner work. I am not nor will I ever be someone to just sit with a psychic medium at a fair, mall, or other event on a whim. This was a personal private session at her house.

I decided to finally make an appointment with her but only after some conditions could be met in my mind. You should consider these as well if wanting to visit a psychic on your own. First, I believe trust is so important and doing this without that wouldn’t work for me. Second, you need to become detached to any information or possible outcomes. This is so hard but a challenge for me considering my main reason in seeing her. You fans will know. Yes, it did mostly involve Warrior. Remember though, we always have free will and spirits will not tell you what to do. It’s all about guidance or “nudges.”

Psychic mediums aren’t for predictions in the way some think but many believe that to be the reason in sitting with one. You need to use your own intuition and interpret messages in the way that works for you. Some ask about relationships, health, love, money, or a career but I wasn’t. At least not really. Some may even need to piece together a puzzle with clues possibly meant for another. You need to figure that out yourself.

Even though I had some past spirit visit dreams with others, never would I have pursued this without Warrior’s passing. Never. The reasons were more clear to me than ever before. Anyone can connect in spirit to passed loved ones or those you have a connection with. It’s all about your believing mind with right intentions. I never doubt messages from those in spirit. They only have your best interests at heart and never lie. Most fans will know how honest Warrior was and still is!

Messages from a spirit to a medium can be crystal clear information or just bits and pieces. You must be open-minded and relaxed. Before my appointment with her, I wasn’t feeling too well at all. It was nothing contagious and I really wasn’t that nervous. She validated my spiritual energy and symptoms as I was in such awe. I had sat with a few others before ( not on a whim) who read cards but never just my energy and possibly connecting with those in spirit. My paternal Grandmother and father -in-law both had messages for me but then it was Warrior’s turn.

I was so patient as she proceeded asking about the man in my book (Spirit and Belief.) My friend knows a little of my background but not much. Once I said yes, she wanted to know his name. I told her he had it legally changed to Warrior but she saw a letter “J” in her mind. I kept thinking Jim and then she related how he was saying “James.” There was someone else with him identified as “Joe” but I am not aware of this name. It could be his Dad or Grandpa? I’m not sure.., Just a guess…

Tears came for me then as he proceeded to work thru her. He related to being “a great big giant.” I laughed thinking of Andre the Giant but Warrior and I do have quite the height difference. I am only 5’2″. He also said “military school” but all I could think of was how active the WWE has always been with the military. She agreed that was probably the connector. Warrior always supported the military and our veterans.

He shared how proud he is of the book while I am continuing his legacy. I was told to keep writing my blogs too. She heard the word “feathers” and saw an image of a goose. Warrior’s main signs for me are sending feathers and giving me goosebumps– A LOT! I have other signs but those remain a huge influence.

She told me some more information about him and I but it is extremely personal. Let’s just say a lot more makes sense now and validation was deeply evident spiritually in my life. You may not believe or possibly think she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. I assure you she knew nothing if very little about my connection with Warrior. She has not read the book but does know about my blogs.

The very specific things she told me were incredibly unbelievable and I was completely overwhelmed in a different way. She revealed much more about my journey than I ever imagined. She even stated how I passed in a previous life. This is another belief but it totally resonated with me. I had to do some extra research as some terms she said were new to my understanding. My spiritual life is so heart centered and my purpose remains the same. To educate and inspire just like Warrior did with many fans over the years is what I need to keep doing. I am doing it in the way that works for me.

This isn’t to share my psychic visit in a bragging way at all. I am not a person to ask for help as some may know. You can connect to loved ones in spirit with or without a psychic. She barely even charged me as some will overcharge and prove to be not genuine. My friend has been doing this most of her adult life and even has had gifts since childhood. Her credentials speak volumes. Warrior knew of my plan to see her and a third party sometimes works well as they are gifted in many ways.

It was beautiful and amazing all at once. She also knew some specific details about my car accident over 19 years ago. I hadn’t said any real information but she described images. I have blogged about that accident on both. I even began a new healthy detox regimen which is working well. We could all use more organics!

I am linking my YouTube video on this visit as some prefer watching and listening over reading. It is all your choice warriors if visiting a psychic is right for you. Just think it through first. If you want to go on a whim, that’s up to you. Psychic mediums get a bad rap sometimes but if you do the work first, research a little, and release fears to trust, the guidance will be ultimately yours. Mine was so humbling since in James I will always believe…..

Should You See A Psychic?” (11:49)

The Lion King 🦁💪🏻💙

“It’s enough for this restless warrior just to be with you.”

~~ Can You Feel the Love Tonight

~~ The Lion King, 1994, Elton John

Can you believe this movie was first released by Disney 25 years ago? With that milestone, the Broadway musical came to my hometown along with releasing a live action movie this past summer. The Lion King has always been one of my favorite Disney animated cartoons of the more modern era. Once I saw it would be here in August around our anniversary, I bought us tickets!

I remember going to the theater with my mom and sister back in ’94. There was such silence after Mufasa died as this little boy said: “Is he dead?” Oh, the memories.. I hope that boy liked the end. Guess who else loved this movie? That’s right– Warrior himself! Yes, I know the word warrior is in that song up above but not a clue on his personal pics for movies.

He mentioned this in one of his many YouTube videos but I can’t remember which one! Trust me on this or I wouldn’t have a story. The musical was ultimately spectacular and we loved it. Of course it isn’t identical to the animated version as some newer songs were added. If you do get the chance to see it, PLEASE go!You won’t be disappointed.

This theater was packed and I did get a little smile as that song played– the restless warrior is so true indeed. Shortly after that, my right ear started ringing REALLY LOUD. I had to cup my hand over it to hear better. That is one of my spiritual signs and in that loud theater, I heard it. Was Warrior there and acknowledging this performance? I always believe. After all, he loved The Lion King too so it’s only natural for him to attend. (: Spirits like to be part of our fun events too but we were there for our anniversary! It was technically the next day but humor struck again.., 😳

After intermission, we decided to stand for the second act. Our knees were buckling and I needed to stretch my legs badly. We found spaces in the back behind the last row where the ushers stood. I was on the aisle and had much more room. Shortly after the first few dramatic scenes, goosebumps filled my arms and legs. Yep, another sign yet again, WOW! Warrior WAS there since that’s a biggie with him. Ever so slowly, I inched a little to my right so there was a spot for him. He can stand next to me and my husband– how cool!!

Some of you probably think I’m a little nutty here and I respect that. I wasn’t sure to even share this as it concerns my husband but how do I not recognize the obvious signs from Warrior? No way could I ignore them. I’d want to go down as a spirit too! It was so incredible knowing we had yet another “like” in common.

I never even questioned those signs at all since they are quite common for me. Even if you aren’t in touch with spiritual vibes, we should always learn something new as much as we can. Warrior said this many times. I know I do everyday. That stone in the photo is one of my new crystals. I loved it right away after picking it up from a giant barrel at a recent Healing Expo. It’s a Botswana Agate. There are many agates but this one is native to Africa. Don’t you love the colors?

How perfect for me to find that since The Lion King is gee… about Africa! Also, I’ve mentioned bloodstone before as being a “warrior stone” but let me share this about my new agate:

“Strength of a warrior, aids in protection.” (during battle)~~ We can use the battle to mean many things besides a physical war but again NO IDEA about this African Botswana Agate Stone. I know how to pick ‘um, don’t I? It really is enough for my restless warrior just to be with me. I really always feel the love with or without stones or ya know– a big ‘ol musical…

P.S. My favorite Lion King song is:

“I Just Can’t Wait to be King.” It’s so fun with those two young lion cubs. How about some lyrics?:

“I’m gonna be the main event…”

“Free to run around…”

“Free to do it all my way.”

“Everywhere you look I’m standing in the spotlight!”

Ummm… sounds kinda like someone I know, 😉 Some people didn’t want to be “King of the Ring” though…. 👏🏻👑🤼‍♂️

Even Warriors Need Help

Do any of you warriors ask for help when needed? I guess it really depends on your situation but if you’re anything like me, it’s a challenge. Sometimes even an ultimate one. Warrior was also like that as he too didn’t want help in many areas of his life. That photo above is part of his WCW run but he references ideas in the Ultimate Collection DVD. He had some possible storylines involving his character then but actually admits: “I couldn’t do it all by myself.” Most might’ve thought he never bothered listening or working well with others but there were occasions when that wasn’t true.

In his professional days after wrestling, he even made a YouTube video asking anyone for help with his website and content design. He asked for resumes online! I was so surprised by that but very grateful to know Steve Wilton came aboard. We are all stubborn but that’s o.k. I usually exhaust all my resources before agreeing to any help. Asking for help is sometimes looked upon as a weakness when it truly isn’t.

When it comes to my website, I try as much as I can before contacting the publisher. It is my independent nature and once something gets accomplished, confidence matters. ***My kids are rarely sick but I’m not one of those mothers that calls the doctor over every little thing. If you do, that’s fine. After all, we hate to see them sick for long. I try my best first and she’s even complimented me on that. Guess sometimes I can rock this mom thing!

I remember when my daughter was learning to ride her bike. I bet some of you that are parents can relate if your kids are past that stage. She only wanted Daddy (of course) and then decided no more help was needed. Oh boy, was that ever a scene! I had a book I was reading at the time so found a spot while trying to distract myself from her antics. We have a really long driveway so she had plenty of room but no sidewalks nearby. She kicked that bike and yelled and screamed. I really thought she was going to pick it up and throw it! Well, she calmed down and did learn to ride after much trying without any more help.

She is quite the Gemini warrior girl still but her Mama is the Virgo warrior. We are very similar in that regard. My son was so much the opposite but now with age, independence kicks in. As parents, we still want to help but they do need to find their own way. We are quick to swoop in when they are little but then there’s that time to back off some. Becoming an independent adult is tricky but necessary for growth.

Us adults need help with some areas of our lives despite kids thinking we don’t. They also probably think learning stops when school eventually does. Nope, not that either. We should be life-long learners and ask for help along this journey. I know for me spiritually, at first never did I ask for help. Never. I didn’t think that was feasibly possible. Sure, we might be very vague with our questions but I had no idea those in Spirit really and truly HELP specifically. I have said before that I never invoked Warrior at all. Again, I was doing things that aligned with his areas of expertise but humility became such a factor.

It is a very different story now as I know the signs and can respond. No, I am not filled with constant expectations nor am I desperate. Our traits remain the same and I have never wavered. Alright, sometimes a compromise is needed but your thoughts do influence your actions.

Think of areas in your life where help is necessary. Maybe not but two heads are better than one, right? I can attest to that! It never means you can’t do something but just with a little inspiration, you can and will do it better. I know this is very true for me. I am certain it will be true for you too. There are topics I won’t compromise on so then that leads down a slightly different road. So what? Life is that journey with many gorilla slams!!

Ask for help when you need to warriors. Am sure you’ll get it in the best way possible. Maybe not what you expect but accept it anyway. Perhaps one day you can return the favor and help another thru their ultimate journey… ⚡️✨
