Wise Warrior Words

Don’t we all need some wise warrior words from time to time? I know I do despite them not actually being spoken by Warrior himself. That pic below was when the Ultimate Maniacs formed back in September 1992. Ultimate Warrior was speaking about his friendship with Randy Savage, as then he was handed those maniac sunglasses. Their bond was real, as I believe it to still be so today in that “ Terrain of Testament” somewhere just beyond our reach. I recently received some words lately that truly lifted me in the most ultimate way, but more on that soon… ***It has been a whirlwind these past few months dealing with my dog’s gastro issues which has definitely improved now, thankfully. At least we know it is just aging with a senior dog and her insides are all ok. Weight loss, diet change, and slower pace as much as trial and error. Grateful we are on a healthier track, but still take it day by day. 🙏🏻🐶

Just last week, I read devastating news that a dear friend from my spiritual group had cancer and passed away. Needless to say, I was shocked but people tend to be private about health matters. I saw her last summer and she seemed thinner but nowadays, that does not equate with being sick. Later on, I found out she was diagnosed in November as it had spread very quickly. I mourn this woman who accepted me as a podcast guest, gave me the kindest condolences on Warrior (as I did share that story here,) and she led our beautiful moon 🌕 ceremonies of several years ago. My heart breaks for her family and close friends as I know her light will continue to shine. ✨ 💔😓

More news concerns the leader of this group as I had not seen any fairs listed as of late. I referenced this last week. I messaged another woman in the group because the leader shared how she could not attend our friend’s memorial because of a bone marrow transplant in January. WHAT???😳That is given to cancer patients in remission, I do know that. Without prying is when I messaged another to perhaps find out more while respecting privacy. After all, we are in this group and have known each other for years. As it turns out, the leader has blood cancer, hence the transplant. My emotions have been all over the place warriors. 😮 I did not allude to her how I found out, but I’m also keeping her in prayer for a full recovery. We all need wise warrior words to bring us through hard times but lately, it’s been A LOT of extra energy. I don’t share all this to sadden you but just to stay present as to what is happening and how a warrior’s strength is always available to us in many ways.

Here comes the * BEST* part of my post today. Well, “ The Ultimate Truth” podcast link is live and more will becoming available as the weeks move ahead. I will link the first episode at the end so make sure and give it a listen if wanting to hear more on Warrior and spirituality. There were a few comments and one viewer said: “ great video and guest.” Another wanted to know exactly if I knew Warrior (as most ask that) or if I was just a fan? I answered honestly as no, I am NOT just a fan, but I did redirect him to my book and this blog to find out more.

I do appreciate people reaching out and being open to a new yet different approach on Warrior as more will be next from this female perspective. I’m very grateful to those who truly take time to listen despite me not having that traditional connection with Warrior many others had. Regular readers know my journey so if I can educate others, that’s wise warrior words too. My favorite response was from my cousin as of course I sent her the link. Yes, I am biased here but I do always appreciate her words. She was not familiar with Warrior years ago (but now she is 😏) so no judgment and yet she knows me and has my entire life. Here are her words:

“ You are such a wonderful speaker! Very wise expressing your opinion regarding Warrior spiritually. This podcast was very good and interesting on many levels. I can’t wait to hear the next episode!!! Keep up your spiritual work!! Love it!!”

Isn’t she great? I know, I know, BUT she alluded to my speaking and how interesting it was without bringing in the specifics of Warrior and myself. I do hope any other listeners and watchers will not be naysayers and truly give it a chance. The dynamic will change with the other guys present in the future but I’m very excited to be part of this experience. It’s risky sure but we need to do that like I’ve said, right? Yes, I did it and answered the questions as best I could, despite a delicate one many fans of Warrior’s probably want an answer to…

So, I do wish in spite of everything going on in the world, and perhaps your own life, you can find some wise warrior words of your own. You may not have a friend to stand behind you, beside you, or in front of you like Warrior says of Randy but you do have the Universe helping guide your next move in the match. Even with sadness or upsetting events we face, there will be words we need to uplift our soul. They might be given by another or even said to ourselves but they are there waiting for your ultimate return. It just might be you to give your words to another who desperately needs some positivity. That’s all we can do is encourage and inspire just like Warrior himself did, at least he was that for me.

We are all warriors fighting different battles but need those wise words to win the war. I hope my words here are just that for you. You don’t have to be on a podcast either to be the warrior you need in your life. The wise words you hear just might be your own…

Running into MARCH

Happy March warriors as it gets near to that WrestleMania season once again. 2 of Ultimate Warrior’s WM’s have big milestones this year but more on those as the month progresses. I actually did recently look ahead and April brings 2 OTHER important dates of Warrior’s on blog day this year. It has happened before but runs back around the ring again. That’s weeks away though… 💙💙

You’ll see UW in that photo of his very first match at MSG, notice the microphone? 🎙️ Just another one I captured from “ The Ultimate Collection” DVD so decided starting March off with a first of his. Those WM’s coming up also were “firsts” as they connect in a way… Spring will be here later this month and my son’s 22nd birthday. Hopefully, soon we’ll start more househunting as many we have seen don’t seem big enough, ugh! How are we into month 3 already of this year? I hope all your readers are doing well and thank you as always for checking in.

So, how are things going for all of you today? I will say I’m slowly allowing my horse 🐎 to trot, gallop, and then finally run into this new year. You might just be like Warrior and run no matter what but for me, it has to be gradual in many areas. Some though I will RUN away from or towards but most require a more observant approach in my life.

What are you running into this month warriors? Maybe yours is like mine with more of a slow start but you know what, that’s OK! We all move at our own pace on our own journey. Remember how it’s not about the destination but only that you keep moving in your direction~~~ even if it’s baby steps. If you constantly compare yourself to how others run, you will never be authentically YOU as I am still learning all the time. No matter the naysayers~~~ ignore them. I do based on the work I put out into the world but will admit, some days am faced with that resistance. Do I love to see bigger numbers or get more emails and reviews? Yes, of course I won’t lie here. I just always need to remember my purpose which was never fame and fortune but to share, inspire, and educate so that is what I will continue to do.

Sometimes we need to go slower in order to become more aware as is the case for me. Maybe others need that speed but as we all know overtime, they will look back and possibly wish they took something at a different pace. Even Warrior had commented on this. Have you heard the expression of “ rejection is God’s protection?” You can take God out if you want but look at things that way. I never used to and still have a hard time but that resonates like I said last week when we still hold onto certain ideas that we truly want to happen and then never do or will. We need to decide to stop running towards that and end the match. Be excited for something better or maybe more aligned with your real purpose.

I’m so grateful my running led to “ The Ultimate Truth” podcast as I’m happy to have been on the show and will be for a few episodes. We taped 3 together and next time I’ll be with the other guys. We discussed Warrior’s faith and how that influenced generations regarding the spiritual aspect. I did not over share any details of my connection with Warrior, but did plug this blog and my book, 📗 of course! I had a great time and was told I did very well. Next week, I will provide the links for anyone interested to “run” on over and check it out. The first episode dropped * TODAY* actually so you can get a head start on them if you wish.

I will continue to run a little faster into this month but will need my rest that is for sure. Slow and steady is me like that tortoise 🐢 but if you are more of a hare 🐇, well, be who you wish. In some races, we need to get to that finish line in order to begin again. Without endings, there can be no new beginnings, which has been a message on here frequently. So, yeah~~~ I guess sometimes we do desire that destination despite the saying and Warrior’s words but again, the journey matters most. Think of it like a sandwich metaphor. Yep, the bread or bun has value, but we all know the inside ingredients are what makes that sandwich, right? 🥪 Or another way is this. You can’t get from A to Z without going from B to Y first. That’s why we need a journey.

If Warrior had not kept running in a way, very few ideas would’ve come along, and with his originality he needed that. Some of us are content with things the way they are but after a bit, we grow restless. Some opportunities just shift by themselves which in turn causes us to distance a bit. I was part of a spiritual group for many years now as previously mentioned but with the leader selling her house and moving to a smaller one last year, meetings got displaced or infrequently held. She still plans a few things but I think the fairs have diminished somewhat. These instances make leaving a little easier and especially with my family moving later this summer as well. I will live too far away to participate so yet another sign, pointing my way to end that race although with such fond memories. After all, that is the place where my first book vendor events were held at those holistic fairs.

So warriors, what is it you need to run towards this month and what do you need to run away or keep running away from? 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ I’m sure you have your own events but there are those ideas that do the running themselves. It’s up to you, deciding if they are worth chasing or not. Take risks and be discerning, both are needed in the race. I may not always run but for this month, I will MARCH!

P.S. Oh~~~ and a few days ago when I was filling the birdfeeder, I found a Bluejay feather just about in the exact same spot months ago when leaf blowing! Perfect ultimate timing. 💙😊🪶

The Right Platform 💪🏻

Well warriors, here we are in this last week of February as I bring you a young Warrior himself down below. Isn’t it a great shot of him? I saw that pic and decided to use it today. So, “the right platform” came to me while working out as I was searching for a title in my mind. Funny how that happens. 🤔It totally fits with what I’m bringing your way wherever you are reading from. Warrior needed his right platform to fully be himself and that was not just referencing wrestling. More of that concept became evident as he pursued other ventures creatively in his life. He took his talents to different levels while always looking for that platform to be right for him. Don’t we all want that for ourselves? I’m sure you do while getting your voice or messages into the world. It reminds me of the ol’ WWF programming where the wrestlers got interviewed on that platform sometimes, remember? It seemed to be just placed there as we awaited who that promo would be for.

Now, I don’t need a tangible platform per se, but definitely have one on here for all of you. It’s just a matter of finding the right one which for many of us takes time~~~ a lot of of it. I’m noticing much lately in my life how certain types of platforms just seem to be moving away like those of the WWF years when that interview was over. I’m not sure if any of you follow the Chinese New Year as we just shed the year of the snake 🐍 in 2025 and now are onto the 🐴 horse of 2026. It is actually called a fire horse which runs 🏃🏻‍♂️ kind of like someone else I know. So, perhaps my wood snake (as it is called) is done shedding as it gets replaced by that running horse to new platforms. It can connect for all of us, not just me but if you don’t follow~~~ that’s OK. I love the metaphor so it truly resonates. A specific example for me is a certain group I belong to. I planned something recently and with no explanations, not a single gal showed up! What was up with THAT? I know I need to end this group and move on yet still the platform remains. That snake will be shed soon as I have a horse waiting to run… 😮

Changing it up in my gear bag is a better platform that is more *RIGHT* for me and yes, I am super excited to share. I WILL be a guest on several episodes of the “ Ultimate Truth” podcast very soon! Yep, I emailed, the host responded, we had a nice phone call, and set up some possibilities. I’m honored to share my journey with Warrior on that platform. More on that as it nears but humbled how they’re open to my different perspective with a touch of my own moves mixed in the match. I will bring truth, spirituality, humor, and stories that hopefully will inspire viewers or listeners to always believe in Warrior’s messages as I do.

Have you ever noticed how sometimes we want so desperately to stay on a platform and yet keep getting clotheslined down? Deep inside, we know it isn’t right for us and stillllll cling with hope that maybe, just maybe something will change. Then, it doesn’t so we need to decide if it finally is time to step off. Will another one come along? We need to know it will somehow, someway.

I look at many things that have happened to me in various ways in which I fought too hard until finally tapping. Several attempts were made to be the victor in that battle which sometimes could lead to a war. Only then would I realize how MY platform~~~ the right platform was always there waiting for my return. What I mean is this. How many times have you tried a new way, possibility, or experience that might’ve been challenging but did it anyway? We need those moments but more times than most, we recognize our levels of certainty and familiarity. I’m not saying to never go for a different opportunity~~~ absolutely not. What I am saying is after we move ahead with that new idea, we like the platform which belongs to us with all its levels. Sure, I do “outside the box” or platform here stuff but then every time, my comfort is there again. You readers know my faves, right? You have yours too, I know it! I want to creatively pursue a few new “titles” and some work, but then others don’t (like that group of women) mentioned earlier. It’s me and the boys over and over so perhaps that is my main event of the platform which I need more.

Who knows what the future will hold as I crave other types of connections detoured from my “norm” but the pattern goes back to what I know most, almost all the time. Do you get it? My spirituality takes me in exciting concepts but the plans that truly win the match involve what I pursue through this work. I see this repetition, believe me I do. Success is measured by us all in varying ways but in my life, that right platform gorilla presses everyone else most often. I still try as we always are striving for a variety of experiences every day.

I just shake my head (or ropes) sometimes and say: “ OK Universe you win” but really, I do too because passions make that platform come alive. You will know how this goes in your life. Fitness is another one here along with music, meditation, reading, the 80s wrestling podcast guys, and so much more. The BIG stuff though? Well, that man you see ⬇️ influences and inspires much of it through me and I will continue as long as my platform is viable. It’s really my entire life in many facets, but we shall see how the years move ahead.

Warrior always sought ways to get that right platform in place for true fans to witness. Whether it was wrestling or his many other projects, he wanted a legacy to own and for others to make theirs known as well. Now, most of us will not go about it the same way but we all want recognition for accomplishments, respect, and loyalty, true? Of course! The journey is all about seeking as many ways as you can~~~ no matter what opponent gets in your way. Sure, it can be ultimately challenging but if you pursue and stay the course of a warrior, that right platform is in the next arena. Follow the breadcrumbs, line up the puzzle pieces, 🧩 or whatever you need to listen to your gut like Warrior had said. I know I’ve stated how discouraged I get with situations and people but we need the belief in ourselves since without it, nothing goes anywhere.

Keep doing those things that fill your ♥️ and light up your face. Those are the ones that will lead you to that right platform. It might not be exactly as you envisioned it to be but trust that the Universe works with you on all this. Once on that platform, what comes after? Well warriors~~~ that’s the next match.

P.S. My episodes hopefully 🤞🏻 (fingers crossed) on the podcast will be taped early March! ☺️💚🤍

What’s Yours is Mine… Um…🤔😑

Today marks 6️⃣ years exactly ( yep… this number once again) that I had those extreme heart palpitations which led me to the ER that night. I dislike totally remembering but I do because of certain connections like October 29, 2013 when 2K 14 was also released 6️⃣ years before my episode in 2019. Yeah, all that right before Halloween, which is in a few days. Those palpitations took me on such a huge warrior journey~~~ I can never fully share. Just know that it was not medical, but totally spiritual which had to happen~~~ as scary as it was for me. It’s yet another yearly time I mention but it’s worth it on here and really does matter. Trust me on this… 💙

Well, with that being remembered now will get into the title above with an “UM” after. Are you into sharing what you have with others or do you get a little stingy? Warrior always wanted to share his wisdom with many but then would become a little overprotective of his UW character as he should’ve been. You collectors out there, how are you with your merch? Many do sell and make it a business but then some probably are super attached or have those items in mint condition~ never opened but waiting for that ultimate sale.

Little kids come to mind here as I know this all too well. Think about when you were young. When you would receive a new toy, did you let friends play with it or not? If you got something you’d been asking for and was super excited, I bet you wouldn’t share for a while until it wanes somewhat. Hopefully, it still interested you longer than a week! I would tell my littles to let their friends play because in a few hours, they go home and then it was all for them once again. Did that always work? Noooooo but I tried. I did totally understand with this though as now being an adult, I have my own “toys”so to speak.

You all know I’ve referenced crystals and in my room, they are just for me. My daughter sometimes comes in and starts touching them, holding them, or all that. It’s one thing if she is serious about using them for good energy but not when teasing or making light of it all. She usually does not do this but only once in a while and it’s probably just to get me irritated, ha! There are those times we hold on too tightly like I said before and then nobody can share. We need to bring about what we have but then set our limits as to how much or how far to go. We are allowed to have our stuff as many do and it’s great to show it off and then move onto other ideas.

Here’s another point with me in my life here. This new app I use spiritually has been shared a little with you but I won’t get into the details. It is done very well for me and I’m excited to keep going with it. I do have to delete some content as it’s draining my battery and taking up a lot of storage! I’m not over sharing and it isn’t technically “mine,” but is widely used by others. Like I say, do what works for you and leave the rest. Not to worry~~~ it has been a few months with this app and my interest is still very high unlike a child with a new toy.

I haven’t fully referenced the “UM” in my title today. What I mean is that often what you’d like to share isn’t necessarily what another would. Sometimes we should or need to depending on what exactly it is. Then other times, we do not need to share because of issues with privacy, respect, or just a simple NO… So, I guess you can take that however you wish but these other expressions fade overtime. It’s like with kids (once again) of saying: “ children should be seen and not heard.” That is wrong by many standards. I also could’ve said: “ share and share alike.” Another “ UM” for sure as that is also debatable. It is different with adults but similar with our thought processes. In my Zoom group, there are a few that don’t always share as much as others and that’s OK. We are all unique personalities. We can’t force certain connections from some but then others will always dominate and become quite extroverted.

What’s yours is mine can apply to all those characters we come to know in the WWF(E) over the years. We will always have our memories and some have more interest than others. Most fans will agree on the sharing aspect regarding wrestling. This is exactly why there are so many podcasts out there with this long-standing topic and one I of course listen to quite often with those 80s guys. In some ways, it seems endless as some people don’t know when to end their call. I am guilty on some of this!!! It’s all about the subject matter…

For those who knew Warrior personally, their relationship with him can be shared some as many have, including mine. Of course it is NOT in the same way but I write or speak what I CAN regarding my journey in ways that suit me. Hopefully you have learned or are learning more on certain aspects along this path but I do too~~~ every day. My kids even teach me much about this concept of sharing in the modern “techie” world but once again, we choose always. I still crave my alone time like previously mentioned and frequently stated but sometimes it needs to happen in order to gain that peace of mind. I do need to watch my over-sharing in order to get acceptance, respect, or just attention~~~ as we all do. Just remember to do it in the right ways and those may take quite a while to figure out. You’ll notice if it is one over the other as it does come back around in some form. It’s like that balancing act of last week.

Well, warriors ~~~ you get to decide all about that sharing part of your life but just be discerning. There can be consequences as you need to be willing to accept them like Warrior did. That “ UM” might still be there as it will. What’s mine can be yours as we as a society or even fans have much in common. Just put those boundaries in place or recognize them before the lines get too blurred. We can share Ultimate Warrior stories, merch, or even toys when kids but know your limits~~~ that’s your “ UM.”

***To anyone celebrating Halloween, stay safe and have fun. It’s not all about the scary stuff ya know! Just no trips to the ER. Oh, and we already carved our pumpkin before today. That’s what I was doing when my heart stuff started on the 29th…

P.S. Have a BOOtiful and SPOOKtacular Magickal Halloween!

🧙🏻‍♀️👻🎃🕷️🕸️🫎🕷️😈💀👽🤖🐦‍⬛👹🦉🌕

The Balancing Act 🏋🏻‍♀️

How’s it going, warriors? I bring you a young Jim Hellwig in his early bodybuilding years today, but what a balancing act he had trying to figure it all out for his future back then. No black-and-white photo from me in a few years~~~ not counting a banner I used last year near Halloween actually. Warrior certainly was walking that metaphorical tight rope between career choices but we all have those moments right? It doesn’t even have to be quite in that way as my followers know me by now. My journey would be more like having 1 foot in Spirit and 1 on Earth and it can be a challenge balancing it all every day. All of us realistically are this way whether you truly identify with that concept or not. Most of us don’t need to work that scale of balance between fame and a personal life, but we all have other ideas that will tug on our rope.

Here’s a few thoughts of mine that I think you totally can relate with every day, all day. How about these? Who we are on the surface versus who we truly want to be, things we know versus what we share or even don’t share, and even work versus play. We somehow balance them little by little, even though nothing will ever be perfect or even on both sides. That’s just life and we need to believe we are doing the best we can. To circle back to Warrior for a minute, all you skeptics still doubting the spiritual aspect with him~~~ just look up info on your own. His “Destrucity” principles? His first comic book topic? Yep, it’s all there in those and a few other works he put out as it wasn’t just his wrestling career of UW.

None of us has the full proof plan for how to have all our ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆, and it may never happen or at least not happen the way we would like. Life is not a straight line, it’s full of curves and detours. 〰️➰ Let’s always remember what Warrior spoke often and that is once again how it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Yes, we all are heading somewhere but need the experiences and adventures to make it a great life. Some days we seem to have it all together and everything is even keel but then other days~~~ not so much as is life readers. Nobody has the answers and we don’t get them many times but we keep going because we are warriors and that’s what we do.

I’ll take this another way with me regarding balancing and maybe some of you can connect a little. In mentioning the photo today and the next few weeks, I did some research but had to balance my time that afternoon. I wanted a new pics and without seeing some I could use on FB or my collection, I went to Instagram which I had not in a while. I follow a few pages, but haven’t scrolled back through photos of him over the years. There are 3 groups I had seen and 1 didn’t take that long, but the other 2, oh my… 😬 Once I started, I had to finish~~~ you know what I mean? Time just flew by and I will not say how long but it did take over an hour! The scale was tipped with time that day.

As a parent, my life is a constant balancing act~~~ even with these young adult children. It just takes on a new form with them navigating their way through a different chapter once childhood dissipated. With all of us, life is always evolving, shifting, growing, and changing until we leave this planet~~~ even though it may not feel like it. What do you personally feel the need to balance day by day? It may change overtime or remain the same for a bit. How I like to approach it is to truly prioritize what actually needs to get done versus what isn’t necessarily as important. Always make time for those wants too but schedule your activities wisely. I do realize like my IG scrolling how time gets away from us but try to truly commit to a set block and stick to it. Give yourself 10 minutes to meditate (like me…) or 30 minutes to go for a walk, it doesn’t matter. I’m not talking about time spent at a paying job but those other interests we need to have in our lives. Warrior spent time working out, painting, and writing… ✍🏻

Don’t beat yourself up for spending more than enough on something that fills your soul because quite possibly, you were meant to do that. Not everything has to be super scheduled around every minute of our free time. Even if you need a nap, take it without guilt. As a wrestler, Warrior’s routine was very set in place with little time to just be. He tried to carve out some here and there when he’d be alone away from possibly partying or hanging with the guys. We can’t be in 2 places at once doing it all. Yet another reason I would never split holidays. That’s just me though… Some would split let’s say Christmas Day between 2 homes, but how very stressful… If it has to be done OK, but I am grateful it did not and still does not with my family.

Well, warriors~~~ is your scale tipped more to one side than the other today or will it be? Just accept that and begin again tomorrow. You might be in the circus act walking a tight rope or even like a pro wrestler balancing on that top rope *BUT* we always figure it out on the way down. Decide what really matters to you and leave the rest on the arena floor. We will always have things that need our attention in life but we also need to follow those things that want our attention~~~ big difference. I hope you know this. A young bodybuilder had to do just that when starting out on the road to success and we do too, just in the way that works for us. Warrior’s fitness always remained with him as part of his balancing act while other passions faded away. It just might be the same for an area in your life as I know for sure it is with mine. Lighten your load by moving some to the other side of the scale if you can. Work out those compromises and see if it makes a difference.

Your balancing act will always be part of your life. Will you balance, fall, or just walk away? Your choice warriors. If you fall, just don’t submit. Break out of that hold and start again.

*** I’ll be here next week for the end of October!!! Halloween is coming. Get out your 🎭 masks and face paint. 🎨

P.S. BTW to any of you Warrior fans ever wondering this concerning “ Destrucity.” YES… it did totally connect to Buddhism as I thought possibly many posts ago. Not sure if Warrior was ever asked that in any formal interview but believe me on this, it *DOES* relate. I have an “inside scoop” that is very accurate as a source so I can’t fully reveal how I know. It’s so great to finally get that answered… 💙💪🏻🙏🏻

Just Buggin’ Ya! 🪰🐞

No, not really as I hope you aren’t being bugged or bothered by these writings. Just here bringing a weekly update, you know like on “ Saturday Night Live” only not on the weekend! Before all this bug stuff~~~ a few other updates for you all today. My husband and I had our 23rd anniversary on Sunday and ate dinner in this Aviator themed restaurant close to the airport. We had not seen the entire place since it was renamed and is used much for large gatherings or a wedding venue. Not sure how long it has been since we actually made a reservation somewhere. I can get him classy once in a while! ***👔👗 Our son is almost ready to start year 4️⃣ at college with band camp this week. He will be a few floors up in his apartment complex with some of his trombone buddies. Our daughter begins year 2️⃣ soon locally as it’s still crazy having both in college.

Onto WWE for a moment as recent news came through the media. Starting in January ‘26, all their PLE’s (or previously called PPV’s) like WM’s, will be airing on ESPN. I know, so many letters! 😜 At first I thought~~~ wow, totally awesome as most have that sports channel until I heard the catch. It isn’t exactly like the Netflix deal with RAW, nope. I was told by guys on the podcast one has to download the DTC app or Direct to Consumer in order to view. No regular ESPN or even ESPN+. I’m not sure of all the details as of yet as it’s almost $30 and not part of your cable subscription. It might be cheaper if you have Disney or Hulu as well. We have neither but I’m not interested. Just a messenger here… Interesting 5 year deal in the billions so we shall see how it all transpires or even if all the info I received was correct.

OK, phew that’s kind of confusing I know. I’m not bugging you, am I? Let’s get to that topic of choice today as I found it ultimately cool with all the feels. Did you ever have that feeling of a bug crawling on you but there isn’t one? Maybe not but I do, at least lately. Then, I’d go and brush away “nothing” all over my arms and legs similar to when I get goosebumps. This has been happening and I must say sometimes~~~ it’s around where my UW tattoo is located on my right forearm. It’s not always but sometimes. Is it Warrior’s energy? Possibly considering the physicality of his mask as I will and do believe. Other areas though can be a tingling sensation of feeling as this time of year has heightened spiritual vibes coming through. You may not follow this, but I do and recognize specific signs for me. One can question validity for sure, I get it… One can also go to the negative and jump to a possible medical problem. I don’t and won’t do that because I truly know in my heart that is not the case.

Do any remember the ladybug post where I saw one in my son’s room during the winter and then on my bed the next day? You may see those tiny creatures often and not think a thing but I love them and always have. Yes, Warrior has a connection with one of his daughters as I recall, but they have fascinated me since childhood. One day I felt a bug crawling near my ankle and this time without automatically wiping it away, I reached down to catch it~~~ also without looking at the bug. I decided to save its life and ran to the door setting it free. No idea it was indeed a beautiful ladybug visiting me and not just a random housefly. It’s rare when that happens but thankfully, she was safe and my hand didn’t crush her. I thanked her as she flew off and from now on, I will look before capturing.

The feeling is more like a slight brushing on the hairs of my skin but now instead of rubbing it off~~~ as there are no bugs, I invite them in. I believe for me it has more purpose, more meaning on this evolution of mine so it’s a newer type of sign. Imagine if you can~~~ someone’s fingers, (not in a creepy way) walking ever so slightly and lightly in a gentle way up and down your arm or leg. It’s a positive feeling. I never looked at it as panic but at first more of a nuisance. I believe it now to be more activated with my sense of feeling or clairsentience. That is discussed in my book- “ Spirit and Belief.” I have to plug it sometimes, right? 📗 Perfect opportunity to do so. I hope this isn’t bugging you with all my spiritual talk, but it’s my life readers so take what works for you and leave the rest.

Maybe new things are coming my way as I need to think so as my spiritual team always has my back. No tingling in that area, but they are with me just like yours is with you~~~ whether once she chooses to truly connect or not. No worries, just protection as unseen forces are guiding us in everyday life. *** Well, no more buggies for today, but try and notice little things getting your attention sometimes. If it FEELS right for you, who cares what others think. You might be nervous at first but think positively as that is what you will get. I love my signs, but I’m open to new. Warrior was all about staying motivated so he wants that for all of us here too. He can bug me anytime as I promise to recognize his energy any chance I get…

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

The Galaxy of Self 👋

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Sixth Planet 🪐6️⃣

I’ll get to that title in a minute, but I like to mention a photo if it connects so they do lately. Yes, I’ve referenced WMVII many times as that pic shows Ultimate Warrior getting ready to ask for help from those gods up above. It also shows part of his wrist tattoo but a close-up of the planet Saturn so that’s my focus just a bit today. Saturn is the sixth planet and my post brings in that number once again but I will share a story first. Did you think this was all going to be about Saturn? Nope. It’s another library moment so even if you aren’t a fan of books in that way, I hope you still follow me along today.

So, I wanted a new 📕 as it’s time and I couldn’t think of a possible topic or author. Then, I had a thought and already knew what the probable outcome would be but tried anyway. As some may know, it was revealed to me many years ago how I have this * HUGE* spiritual trait, connection, or attribute that I can’t fully say because of my privacy BUT it’s real. I have several videos saved and articles, but have never looked at possible books. Yes, there are many online to purchase like from Amazon as I’ve checked but I’m not fully interested in owning one. Well, off to the big library I went while browsing stacks on my own first. I then made my way to a librarian while still maybe hanging onto hope that a book could come my way. 🤞🏻 Mind you, this is not entirely mainstream or a “main event” and is very rare indeed.

She looked and nothing came up but they do contact other libraries across the state so never say never right? The answer came up negative as I lost that match but at least can say I tried. I was OK with that as I’m sure what I could read would not totally “lock up” with my journey but still fascinates me. I have said this term is mentioned in a book I do OWN but it is synonymous with another popular term which I did share in the past. When I first read that in my book, it didn’t totally bother me but then when finding out more~~~ it did. It really shouldn’t. No worries, we all just try to educate ourselves the best we can~ at least I hope most of you do. If feeling “Ms. Resistance”coming my way, I will read or watch my few videos as I know in my heart what is true~~~ like my NOUS of last week. My family even is unaware of this about me as I don’t share it with many…. Warrior mentioned past lives and evolutions so that is very much part of this for me. He even spoke of this spiritual attribute that I am.

Let’s get into that 6th planet of Saturn. I’m not getting into Saturn per se, but just how some may have thought Warrior was from another planet and like I say, I could be too~~~ ya never know! This next part concerns the book I actually DID get at the library that day. I never leave empty handed! Have any of you readers heard of “ The Enneagram?” You probably haven’t as I did not either until last year when hearing about it on a popular podcast I listen to. I have been following this psychic medium for years now as she is quite famous. I own one of her books and referenced it in mine. Her name is Rebecca Rosen. She also has referenced MY spiritual trait many times in her work…. The Enneagram is a personality test similar to others out there.

It is made up of 9 different quizzes you answer honestly without much thought. Think of it as using your intuition and not a lot of logic! The questions are short and you list an A= agree, N= neutral, or D =disagree. Each quiz has 10 questions and you add your total for them separately. It is then divided into 9 personality types based on how you answer. Well, if you can connect earlier here~~~ yep, I got a 6!!! Can you believe it? Saturn, ha ha! That number warriors shows up always it seems. The sixes are called “loyal skeptics.” Some of the traits fit but some I believe have evolved through me over time. One aspect was about rules but I’m not much of a rule keeper these days! It goes on and can get a little complicated similar to numerology if you follow that.

There are numbers near yours that can influence so mine would be 5 and 7, which are in between 6. They are your “wings.” You also have a security number which mine is 9 and a stress number which mine is 3. It’s a big circle with other shapes mixing in lining up numbers. Enneagram is Greek just like how nous originated and means “nine” for the personality types. It started decades ago and was brought to the U.S. in the 1960s. I’m not basing my entire life on this just like with other practices, but I do love learning. The Enneagram can help build self love, (which is so needed) relationships ,and more awareness into why people are the way they are.

If only we can get others to take the quizzes to truly see but one can if you choose. It’s still cool as I am getting more into the book. We all have pros and cons and I for one truly want to explore how to better myself so as to not repeat lessons. Feel free to look up the Enneagram yourself if so inclined. If anything, do it for fun! You might totally agree with your type, but then also not so much.

I’m grateful to have access to these many spiritual tools to help me navigate my warrior journey more. So much has been explained but new knowledge is gained all the time. My actual term or trait may never truly be known to the world for obvious reasons (as you would know if I shared why) but little ideas help along the way. Few know in my circle. We may also never fully know if any of us are from another planet either (if you think about it,) but that doesn’t really matter. We just do the best we can while we are here and move forward. I did look up Saturn’s characteristics before but here’s a refresher: discipline, hard work, confidence, stability, perseverance, and others. It’s a masculine energy too. Doesn’t it all sound like Warrior? They do to me. My number 6 good qualities are these: reliable, trustworthy, loyal, courageous, perceptive, and others. The weaknesses or challenges? Well, I can work on those. The good stuff? All me…

P.S. The book is called: “ The Enneagram and You” by Gina Gomez. * There are many out there.*

P.P.S. There are SIX chapters in the book AND June (right now) is the SIXTH month!!! 😯☺️

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… ☺️

“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!
