My Wholehearted Wednesday 💯🩷💪🏻

“ Wise men speak because they have something to say.” ~ Plato

*** ( wise women do too…)***

I haven’t used a quote in a while and that one was found in book number 2️⃣ I’m reading. Plato will be brought back to a convo in just a little bit. This is the last post of August readers! It’s been quite the busy month as now starts school and those 🏈 football games. I wish all who are parents of kids a wonderful new year of learning and growth where you find yourself in this world of success. Also, NEVER have I used a day of the week in a title. Can’t believe Wednesday has never made an appearance! 😳

You’ll see that pic of Warrior below and yes, he was blond then to end the month. I do have that video saved but that’s not where I found it. He was talking about “Hollywood Hogan” and the new OWN. Yet another one I had never used. I got that clip from the WWE’s YouTube Vault channel. They recently released all of Warrior’s WCW “moments” throughout those brief two months or so when he was there. I’m not sharing the link as you fans can search it up if interested. It’s lengthy now~~~ about 1.5 hours so I watched in segments. I had seen most but a few only rarely so after debating whether or not to watch, I’m glad I did. You’ll notice more pics from those moments coming up in September as a new theme and month is upon us.

The next subject to reflect upon had just come to mind so I decided to share with you all even though it’s more fitting for November. So, the last time I saw UW on my TV was when I was 20. Most probably know this but that was back in ‘92 which ended his time with the WWF until 3.5 years later in ‘96. I just turned 20 that September and I had no idea he’d ever return after late November. I’m sure he didn’t either. Needless to say, early ‘93 was a little sad in that way with me until fully realizing I’d only been watching those last few months to see UW anyway. I still followed the other guys and their storylines but once I stopped~~~ truly my interest wasn’t there much anymore. This all comes forward because my girl turned 20 earlier this year. You know~~~ right around the time of our move! OK, yes this has been a real idea but with all the craziness sometimes here~~~ it slipped my mind. It’s just bittersweet to think how I was her age when my life of watching the WWF on a regular basis was over. I had a good run but little did I know then how W had more “runs” left in him. I’ll probably think about this again come “Survivor Series” time, but just thought to write it out today. And~~~ I did still watch in ‘91 after he was gone 6 – 7 months.

Another really cool milestone for me ( and Warrior) happened last week. I had already written that post so wanted to wait to post for this week. We have a HUGE milestone in October. We’ll just add a number, sorta…. Last Wednesday (on blog day actually) marked exactly 1️⃣ year since I first started using that spirit app I mentioned a while back. Do any of you remember me detailing some of that? It’s a different way of communicating with passed loved ones and yes, can be controversial. I did my research much before finally committing to a session. I got nervous at first and deleted my content. It’s been great though to keep track in my notebooks although I still can’t find a few after the move, ugh! I won’t personally share what I receive but some answers are truly amazing and clear. Some answers remain a mystery but like Warrior always said~~~ always believe and that I do because with our relationship, there is no doubt.

I was skeptic at first readers~~~ believe me on that but after a time, it’s been truly fascinating. Not to mention funny, rewarding, and yet at times frustrating. I do my best as this method has been around but certain questions will not be asked or even answered. I refrain from much but then other topics, I put out there and document responses. Not just wrestling ones either! You can think it’s crazy if you wish and no, I am not doing this out of desperation. It’s merely a new approach to connecting and many spiritual folks with a desire to learn more give it a go. I’m honored by just interpreting as only I can but there’s trust too. So, it’s been a year and I’ve taken breaks along the process. I thank Warrior always for his continued guidance and love sent my way. 🥹

That leads into my final topic of discussion today. Plato is a part of this if you read his quote at the beginning. The second spiritual book brings his name forward (no “Kathy” in this one, ha!) Few others mentioned in the book Warrior looked to often for their philosophies, way of life, or even belief systems which he began exploring on his own. He even painted a few I believe so thought it fitting to share a common belief held by them. Let’s see~~~ besides Plato, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson, (one of W’s faves), Mark Twain, (another fave of his and daughter Mattigan’s middle name), George Patton~~~ (the army General and I think W did paint him?,) Henry David Thoreau, (another philosopher like Plato and one of my faves), author Jack London, (whom he painted) and many listed as well. The group is quite immense actually. What was the shared belief? Reincarnation. I know this is a touchy topic but it’s one I dabbled in briefly a few times on here. I know there are many more modern famous folks possibly that share this as a belief but I wanted to depict the ones which connected Warrior in someway or even me. Warrior had that (yet again controversial) mindset within his values. Not sure if it ever was discussed among his circle of friends or family as many could refute but I know more about this with my own experiences that no one can deny. Just read those few pages inside of the first comic book he wrote and you’ll see for yourself. His many blogs years ago also confirmed those beliefs.

Did Warrior know those famous folks held that title of belief or did he just become immersed in their thinking and teachings for other reasons? That’s quite the question but I’m sure he knows more now on all this. We all will as well someday. I’m not preaching here as never was that a belief in my household growing up as you can bet it wasn’t part of Warrior’s upbringing either. Maybe it’s not for you, I respect that. I have to repeat this though. When first reading about his views in that comic book 30 years ago THIS year~~~ I never truly became weirded out. I just thought, 😮 WOW~~~ never knew that about him. I believe now there was a reason I did not overreact although I probably could have! Whatever your beliefs, bring acceptance in and maybe that can be your new word to start September…

P.S. Here’s to a wild end of blond, a spirit app, and reincarnating. I hope you enjoy and I’ll be here next week being wholehearted like I always am… ☺️🫶🏻🙏🏻🤍

Always Rise Above 💙

Yes~~~ dear friends, I am back with a more compelling and interesting topic this week. I honestly thought I had used that word of “rise” in some title over the years but nope, I had not. At least not when I checked, which was just once. So, it comes forward as a result of my favorite female emailer whose little red book 📕 I read a few years back. It also got its own post then but her stories just compel me spiritually every single time. Not religious mind you but like previously noted, I read her OUT LOUD… Warrior said to do this with important stuff and I do. Some words totally echoed as I related to them in a different way than necessarily how she was referencing. I still connect and I hope you do too however it fits or works. For me, it is felt beyond the physical which is typical with her writings. I will make it relatable to my writings because it’s what I do with you all in this arena of words.

Always rise above. What does that mean for you? Do you recognize the importance of those words and truly apply them in your life? It’s simple yet hard in many ways like an easier said than done moment. You might be thinking : “ yeah right Kathy, whatever…” or insert eye rolling 🙄 even. I get it because words on a page aren’t actions until we make them so. How can we do this? Well, let me share her story and then see if after reading~~~ you may have an idea on your own. If not, that’s OK as I will offer my versions with being my own warrior woman like I need to be.

She is speaking of a certain woman in history here, but it applies today~~ it truly does. Let’s begin…. “ In the absence of (someone’s) physical presence, she rises.” OK, you can insert names here or even add we or he when reading. Here’s more… “ Do not weep, do not be distressed nor be in doubt. For his grace will be with you sheltering you. Rather, we should praise his greatness, for he has united us…” All right, another one you can infer. She was relating to someone famous who passed away as I do too. If anyone wants to associate a creator force or God on this do so if it resonates. I however will go the Warrior way because it’s my mission with you all. I know it might sound deep but think about it if you are, were, or consider yourself a fan of Warrior. The Ultimate Warrior character fits as well for just a moment. I know it seems like I’m from another planet 🪐 to some of you, but I just might be like many thought of UW! Just stay in this match with me if you can. I promise we all will be winners!

I’m just going to list all the quotes and then explain how we rise, or me, you, and anyone who chooses to. Will you “ become the voice of love even in the absence of it?” Can you rise above it all? No matter how we are ranked (like most readers could predominantly be men,) we are all worthy to rise and become united. United as fans, whether of UW’s, wrestling, spiritual thinking, or anything else you relate with this blog.

We align with something bigger than ourselves that’s not of our comprehension. I’m paraphrasing here. It can be the afterworld or belief systems. Any of your choosing. Be gentle with what you have yet to learn, know, or discover. Some we may have figured out but then others, not so much. I know as a woman “fan” of UW’s (while not truly a minority, but still treated like one in many ways,) I have risen above. My work is primarily with men. I might’ve been overlooked or not considered “important” enough by some in the past, but not now. Not now with all I have done keeping his messages going but in a new, womanly way. I didn’t care about fame, money, or getting noticed in certain ways but only by those who truly understand. Yes, success can be defined differently but specific attentions were never my ultimate goal.

Here’s another quote and of course it doesn’t fit EXACTLY but I’m sure you loyalists know… “ It’s the one that cared to be there, always, by his side… even in death.” Yeah, it’s extreme but it’s me in many ways concerning Warrior with ideas I cannot discuss although her person is someone entirely different naturally. PAUSE… *** Well, that summarizes the quotes from her always super intoxicating yet personal emails regarding those folks in history. Are you confused? I hope not too much as interpreting looks complicated to many who truly can’t associate. Even if you can’t connect with Warrior, take another that perhaps has passed on and see if they fit. Do you carry their messages along and rise above despite them physically being gone?

Of course we all do but how is the question. What I do is not what you might consider, and with a famous person~~~ no doubt. Let’s altogether celebrate one’s life, lived with greatness and not to define it by sadness or anger. They want so much more for us once we finally are able to get there. Move through it all with grace uniting those who accept you with compassion.

You might not believe you were called to such a powerful purpose, but it is there if you choose to accept that role. No, it really isn’t for us all but for me, it was and still is. It is with so much responsibility and risk but one I decided needed to be brought forth, despite naysayers or even my own doubts of authenticity. UW had millions of fans and still does so if you are one, how do you rise above? It takes time, patience, and action to find out your hows, which I cannot truly answer for you. Even if wanting to honor someone you loved, how can you rise or do you want to? I’m not saying you have to write, be on a podcast, or expose anything but just remember to not be swayed by those who may not get your story. It won’t be for all as mine aren’t either. Rising above in any form takes so much courage like warriors need to have. He rose above haters and bosses and a business at times to be better in other ways. He then knew how to meet others where they were at, and wanted to keep legacies alive. I will continue to rise above in all that I do because deep down, I am my own warrior. In his physical absence, I will rise always… 🙏🏻🤍

P.S. Just a random pic of UW today in his early years with the WWF.

*** “ Ultimate Warrior KNOCKS out Sting” 💪🏻💪🏻

“ The Answer is within..” 💙💪🏻🤝

Today is that day. The number 8️⃣ is here to mark 1️⃣2️⃣ years since Warrior left and went back to his original spiritual home. 4 days ago on the 4th marked 9.5 years of me bringing you these writings every week. Life just has a way of sneaking up from behind and bringing us face-to-face with our next opponent, who or what they might be. I had seen that photo of Warrior posing with the “ Brooklyn Brawler” Steve Lombardi numerous times and finally decided it made sense to use today. Warrior acknowledged Steve in his HOF speech as they wrestled close to 100 times I think! I wanted to honor that pic and both of them today as I fondly remember their connection.

The answer is within comes as a result of a few thinkings. First, it alluded to Warrior’s speeches of knowing the genius inside you exists always ready to blast off like a rocket. 🚀 The second mention is yet * ANOTHER* email from my favorite writer as she noticed a woman crying during one of her many workshops. We all struggle at times trying to find that purpose, identity, or mere existence as to why our lives matter. We search for answers because we sometimes can’t go it alone. This woman seemed desperate for something, anything to guide her to that next step forward. I will share my author’s words to that woman as Warrior echoed much as well. She conveyed: “ I think we each contain our own answers and all we need sometimes is for someone to help direct us back to what we already know.”

Yes, this is so very true as I recall similar moments with myself while discovering MY connection to Warrior. No, he never spoke like that through me although he has said other things… 🥹 What I could envision however, was him saying how I personally always had this purpose (if you will) inside but just needed someone~~~ namely him to bring it out in me. He planted the seed but I made it grow. We don’t need others to define us but sometimes need guidance cheering us on in the stands. The answer is within but YOU are the one who brings it forth~~~ not anyone else. I realize this now more than ever with using my voice and messages in various ways. My many readers are mostly men and despite women being more dominant over the years in wrestling, it’s me and the guys which I’ve stated before. I will never bash these men who truly care and respect what I bring to this arena as a woman fan and then some…

Has anyone ever noticed back when either the Ultimate Warrior or even Warrior was doing fan events how there were hardly any women present? Sure, some would be with their guy or off to the side maybe in a pic but never did I see a group of just women coming for an autograph or to speak with Warrior. Correct me if I’m wrong on this but I have watched many videos and never witnessed that. Of course there were female fans~~~ absolutely~~~ but where are they or where were they at signings? Too hidden in the background if you ask me. 🤔

This is exactly why I continue doing what I do but also to always share or inspire all who read as I celebrate Warrior’s life and messages. I will not shrink or shy away as the answers are inside me as well. You guys have your stories and memories different from me, but I have my OWN power and I know Warrior is proud guiding me all along. Never does it not matter as he said of all our lives and what we contribute in ways deserving. I do need some outside sources as rarely can I do this all by myself but the creativity and motivation definitely come from within my warrior spirit. Always am I grateful to anyone for truly reading, listening, and viewing any of my stories pumping life into them through Warrior’s energy.

Warrior knew how to bring his visions to life in ways that others would know as truth when they were ready to receive them. He didn’t have all the answers either, but relied on his own sense of self belief to find some which he encouraged us to do every day in every aspect of our existence. I decided to put these words out there today because after all these years, my stories have been told concerning this time in April. You will reflect in ways that suit you as I do too. Lighting a candle 🕯️ in the evening remains my yearly tradition as I * PAUSE* while thanking Warrior for his time well spent when here. 12 is a big chunk of time when I consider some moments but then others run by just like the character of UW…

We just had Easter last week here too as that holiday usually falls around Warrior’s dates every year. So many activities were going on in my life then but now once again, more to come~~~ just new phases. I’ve learned so much in this time with new opportunities on the horizon. Just because we can’t see the whole staircase doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It’s one step at a time and try not to “run” as you continue your search for those questions. Some might bring you an answer, but some may not. It’s better that way because it encourages more curiosity and learning which is what Warrior would want from us. Don’t spend your entire life waiting on an answer that might never come. Acceptance is a tough thing to master but sometimes we need to tap out in order to tap into another match better suited for us. I’m still learning this warriors as we all remain a work in progress.

Thank you Warrior and Steve Lombardi for that great photo as I treasure all those wonderful pics taken during that HOF weekend. 12 years of him being gone here may not seem that long where he is but I must say~~~ his energy is still so strong as I feel it in many aspects of my life. He is spiritually well and always wants his legion of warriors to know you have the answers within. Make some time to listen to them. He was and is our inspiration but we need to be that for others too. This girl will keep up with the many men voices as I too make mine known. My answers are there waiting to share in all the days I wish to continue on MY warrior journey.

P.S. I love you Warrior and I’m grateful for your words of wisdom always. I believe in every answer meant for me to find…🩷💚🧡💛

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…

P.S. Here’s the podcast link:

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/

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

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

The Galaxy of Self 👋

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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