What’s your Calling Card?

❤️💛👍🫵🏻. No, I don’t mean your business card or anything like that although it could be. What I mean is your true nature like the essence of who you are warriors. It doesn’t have to be that deep of a question but with me, it tends to go there. I have combined topics into a tag team of sorts today, so I’ll start with the calling part~~~literally.

Wrestling fans of The Golden Era-please try and listen to some episodes of these guys. www.BlogTalkRadio.com/80’sWrestlingThePodcast

*** the latest was all about “voices of the 80s” like commentators, announcers, etc. so I called in again. I shared some funny moments and am about 12 minutes or so in. The guys gave me a name: ” the Ultimate Caller!” Most regular callers have a moniker so this time, I received one. What an honor as they KNOW I’m a fan of Warrior’s . One host even remarked how I seem to know more than some of the other callers. I’m not sure I deserve that compliment but I’ll take it. 😌 I was overwhelmed by his words, and yet NEVER once feel intimidated by that male dominated podcast. I leave my calling card for sure. That is, a lasting female impression which matters.Warrior left his calling card too always. Seriously, fans of the old WWF days- just scroll through some of their topics. I bet you’ll find one (if not many) of interest.

Another moment of humility came recently from a Facebook post on my birthday written by my brother. Oh goodness, I thought I was the writer. Here’s a few tidbits he expressed:

*** ” you reign supreme…, get a little more ZEN…, you give as it is…”

AND he ends with #alwaysbelieve which has been tradition for years now. Never does he make me NOT cry. 🥹 I should own those statements and yet somehow don’t feel entirely worthy of receiving them. We are close but I wasn’t expecting such praise. He left his calling card with those words. It invokes pure emotion, thought, and true concern. I do seek the ZEN… ☮️ See, he knows me.

I also had to use that pic of The Ultimate Maniacs below. Their formation debuted (like I had said) on my 20th all those years ago so Randy as well left his calling card. Most everyone will know his lasting impressions on the business, and they are felt still even now. 

Let’s move onto the actual cards part for this 3 count today. OK, I have mentioned Oracle cards in the past but before any of you give that proverbial eye roll 🙄 if not interested, stick with me on it. It DOES connect in a few ways even when I thought at first it didn’t. Someone I follow on social media had a few images of this beautiful card deck with her own readings on them. She is pretty well-known and not a professional in this area, but totally could be. She may be looking for some extra work here soon and would be great at this. Well, I was mesmerized by the artwork and concept. Any “AVATAR” fans out there? The deck totally reminds me of those peoples of ancient civilizations long ago. Some had thought Warrior was of another planet so perhaps I am too, who knows? 🪐🤔 That’s been said before…. The messages are so resonating and I got it as a birthday gift from my husband. I’m excited to dive or (SPLASH!) into it soon as its feminine energy is calling me. One thing I noticed is the first printing date. It was re-printed a few years ago but the original date was April 8, 2020. I did NOT know this until watching a flip-thru on YouTube. Warrior fans will recognize that date (not the year though.) That would not influence my decision but what are the odds? It’s all about the Lumerians of a simpler time. Myth or reality? 🤷🏻‍♀️I don’t know but am drawn to it so another calling card(s) for sure.

What are some calling cards of yours? It is a term one can reference when connecting to loved ones in spirit as well. When I first started this journey, you may remember my Bluejay feather stories which continue today. Lots of other goodies too but that was a main one. Do any of you receive those kinds of messages from your team in spirit? It’s OK if you don’t or aren’t interested. It can be intimidating absolutely but it is a way of communicating if you allow yourself to always believe. Just like those oracle cards, ALL of us are oracles. You don’t have to follow any of that to know this. An oracle is a way to communicate in any way that suits us. My writing is an oracle, speaking is, listening to podcasts are, making YouTube videos are, singing is, dancing is, creating art is, and anything else you can think of to relate with others. All of us make up oracles getting our calling cards out into the world. One can disagree on its meaning but I believe all words can be interpreted in other types of formats.

You might not follow or even do any of the above professionally but we do interact with people daily and however you wish is the Oracle you present. Sure, it’s mostly used as a spiritual term but truly doesn’t have to be in that way at all. It also can mean someone who knows much about a subject and gives good advice. Yes, that fits too and for any of you knowledgeable on many topics, you can be that oracle for another. Use your means or calling card to get your voice out there so it will be remembered. Warrior did. Randy did. The 80s wrestling podcast guys are. I am and so can you. So are the many true people sharing their gifts in such a unique way like my social media lady I know in other ways. ☺️

Be that Oracle with your own calling card even if it’s for a nice birthday tribute to a family member like my big bro or other gifts received. 🎁 Once you know the signs, relate to them, and trust they are right for you, it falls into place. Your passions push you to follow a possible oracle which in turn, gives you a calling card. Then, you’ll have yours to pass along to another who also believes. I love my calling cards which lead me to my own oracle of destination. 🥰🩷🪷

Oh~~~ if the link above isn’t active on here- just search them up however you get your podcasts!

P.S. I use oracle cards as part of my practices but they do ***NOT*** in any way predict. They are part of what I do, but don’t define it. Use at your own discretion. You will know what interests you and what doesn’t.

Expect the Unexpected 🤭😬

Hey warriors! A few little areas to address before jumping off the top rope into today’s topic. First, this date is 8/23/23. I LOVE when numbers line up like that. Last week marked my 333rd post. Oh my goodness, look at those threes! I will take them any day. Another number is 70. That was the Hulkster’s BIG milestone birthday he had a few weeks ago as I forgot to mention it last time. Despite some possible warrior fans having animosity towards him, he is a legend and icon, so should be respected for much. Without his presence in the early days of WWF, us fans never would’ve taken such interest like we did. Sure, there were plenty of others (like The Ultimate Warrior,) but Hulk was the brand and helped propel wrestling into sports entertainment. Was a huge fan of his? No, but I will never take away what he or even others have contributed over time, EVER. Most guys are in their 70s or late 60s now who I followed. What sacrifices they made like I always say to entertain and sustain. I wish him happiness in his new decade.

Last week, we took our son back to college for year two. At least we are better equipped now and possibly won’t have unexpected things our way, but ya never can tell. My daughter starts her senior year of high school in a few days. One football game already done too with a blowout win! How will it be Senior Band night so soon? It seems like two years went by very fast🥹. I do hope there aren’t too many unexpected moments but we need to face them anyways. Let’s bring on the funny times because there’s too much of the negative around.

That pic below was from a segment of “The Brother Love Show.” I LOOOVE this one and glad I got a clear shot. finally of U.W. He turns Brother Love into Sister Love. Talk about an unexpected moment for sure! I remember it so well as often times again, I wonder who’s idea it was? I bet fans weren’t expecting that to happen as well. I love Hot Rod’s commentary with Vince too. So classic and funny to see different “shows” that weren’t too serious. It never gets old to me as I’ve shared some other unexpected times with my daughter and Brother Love antics. Those days will live on in my earlier warrior journey… 💙

Another unexpected moment (at least with my former coworkers of years past) was when I sang to this guy on his birthday. I believe I’ve written this before and it connects here. I had no wig, but sang in my best Marilyn Monroe voice to him all breathy like she did to President Kennedy back in the 60s. I probably shocked about everyone doing that but boy, was it fun! OK, I did wanna prove I could do something out of the ordinary but it got me to build my confidence with a totally new idea. Expect the unexpected once more. Yeah, I was no Marilyn but did it my way! 😳👏🏻

Have you ever done something like that or received something unexpected? I bet you have, and I for sure shared plenty! We do always have those times in our lives on the opposite end when facing a difficult decision or even a health scare. I recently lost a friend of mine to brain cancer. Totally unexpected and so shocking. She was younger than me…😓💔 Looking at her husband and kids was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do emotionally. Yes all that happens too sometimes and we just move forward as only we can. Warrior’s loss was unexpected to fans, but none of us really knows when our time here physically is done. The spiritual journey with him was definitely unexpected in many ways, but my soul knows this path I need to take. How about good stuff? I know of women who were told they’d be unable to have kids and now have several a piece! What about a great job that lined up for you? You can probably think of many more and it can be little things all the time too.

Warrior’s return to WWE was totally unexpected to so many and yet those beautiful days making up that weekend had to happen. Let’s remember the good times and not those unexpected which make us angry, sad, or disappointed. There are way too many of those unfortunate times we shouldn’t always give our attention to so rack your brain for the great stuff to come in. Maybe we’ll win the lottery! The jackpot was HUGE lately and my husband plays often. We need to believe in the good in spite of the negative situations around us. It can be hard to stay positive but we need to check our gear bag for any “foreign objects” that will deter us from getting to that good place in a healthy way. Just because you have done experiences in the past, believe the best is yet to come.

Expecting the unexpected can go both ways warriors but the true test is to turn any unfortunate times into fortunate ones, eventually. Our grit keeps us going so look to the messages Warrior left us for any inspiration you need. You will find answers if you look within yourself, and DO the unexpected. It just might bring up that warrior spirit you were meant to release… ❤️‍🔥

P.S. A few weeks past, I had found 1️⃣0️⃣ blue Jay feathers and a cardinal within a few days! That’s gotta be a record in such a short period of time (: They just make me happy. ☺️I don’t expect them but maybe I should! Manifest the good but release the expectation of HOW…

P.P.S. I called in for the 3rd time ( makes a 3 count!) to “80’s wrestling the podcast.” Their topic was all about the magazines of the day. I shared a funny library story of mine back in high school! If you choose to listen~ I am around the 16:55 mark and I talk for almost 10 min. The hosts are so fun and I love talking to them! ***They go LIVE every Thurs. at 10 A.M. EST here in the U.S. but it is recorded. It is around an hour or so… If you were a fan of the Golden Era of WWF, you will enjoy this podcast! Kinda unexpected again… 😜😂📚

No, I’m not crazy! 😬😳🤪

SO EXCITED! 🥰👏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

I recently had the opportunity to call in to “80’s wrestling the podcast” LIVE last Thurs. 2/9 at 10 AM EST. I have been listening to them for a while now and finally called in- all about WM6! I was also the 1st female caller EVER and my time is around the 9:30 mark into the show. Usually they are about an hour long.. A little longer this time though. It is episode 102 and hosted by Jumpin’ Jay and Tommy Fierro of ISPW. Tommy has a store in New Jersey called:” The Wrestling Collector.” They are all about the Golden Era of the ‘ol WWF years so give them a listen! They DID one on Warrior a while back too. I also made a YouTube video more on this that I will link at the end. You can find the show here:

***Now, onto today’s topic…

I love that photo of the Ultimate Warrior below as it is another one I always thought to use from “The Ultimate Collection” DVD. He looks pretty crazy, doesn’t he? Well, sometimes the character came across that way for sure. If you like, look up any of his stuff or even his post U.W. career. This post obviously is more about me but you regular readers may think I am a little crazy as well, who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Often times, I do try to connect my post with the photo but not always. Today, it all DOES connect as some other little stories came to me that can be funny but at first~ not so much. I initially thought of other words with this title like “breadcrumbs,” “writing on the wall,” and a few more. Don’t worry, I’ll explain those terms in a bit. The Ultimate Warrior’s face reflects how mine was in a way where I believed I was going crazy. I found out later on, I was not. Well, maybe we all are a little bit but not in the context of what I thought. If you’re not sitting down, maybe you should and get ready for that rocket ship to blast off on my exciting experiences with this Warrior adventure once again.

I’m not going to rehash all of my past in trying to figure out the many signs from Warrior but when down in my basement working out, always became a usual spot for my somewhat crazy ways! I had read books, watched videos, listened to some spiritual podcasts, and on and on with so much more to try and connect these pieces of my never ending Warrior puzzle. I use that word often and now my husband and daughter love those 1,000+ ones. Oh boy, so not for me but especially since the word puzzle became quite the metaphor in my life. We will never fully have all the pieces, but sometimes we just want one more and then one more… My new term was “breadcrumbs.” When working out and listening to great music is when I get all crazy with these requests. Maybe music brings it out in me, but I KNOW Warrior is around because well— I just know. ☺️I literally would hold my finger and thumb together and look upward while asking him for just a breadcrumb more to stay on this journey where the ride is one of eternity for me.

Sometimes, I would get another sign but not always. Many come from dreams, meditation, or looking at his work, but some~~~ believe it or not, are never connected to those concepts at all. A few actually happen when I least expect them to as it should be because then BAM— we notice more. I get his humor since I am very similar and now feel more comfortable making jokes back. Nowadays, since I tell all of you to think BIG, I am asking for an entire piece of bread and not just a crumb! Come on Warrior- I want the whole F*CKING loaf! I’ll hear a song and say:“Really? Bring it, I’m game!” All kidding aside. Well, sometimes I’m not but then I would become a little more serious. Oh these lyrics I get and I’ll share one because it connects. No, not one with crazy in the title as there are plenty of those! I honestly can’t even finish my reps, a pose, or whatever I’m working on because the song gets me stopping. Look up “Youth Gone Wild” by Skid Row of the 80s. I know you are or will after reading. 🎼 There’s a part that mentions: “the writing’s on the wall.” Let me explain. Plus, other words in that song make me think of him too. You’ll know if you find it.

So, after a few times of hearing that song it got me thinking. I went over to my white brick wall in the basement behind where my yoga mat was spread out. I “pretend” wrote a message to Warrior which reflected a possible idea I had. This was several years ago now. I asked him:“Is this it? Does this connect us?” I laughed stating how I wasn’t going to “pretend” erase it. Call me crazy if you want but this is how I did things and he always responded in one way or another, even now. Time went by and I would hear those lyrics once more, point upward and remind him how I wrote those few words that I was still thinking about. Sometimes, we have to let things be for a bit but with me~~~ super difficult to do. Patience is one of the toughest virtues as I’m sure you’d agree. So many questions would I ask but had to start trusting my gut or intuition more which is part of the “main event”message to you all.

I never gave that possible connector up and it wasn’t until the visit with my psychic friend did it all finally make more sense a few years ago. See, I’m not crazy after all. My energy healer has since validated much which has been told, but getting two reference points really hit home. I was RIGHT all along but just had to always believe. It is surreal, and every day brings new mystique (of last week) revealed breadcrumb by breadcrumb. At first, I didn’t quite know for sure as there are many possibilities but then that gut feeling became more real. 

Besides the overwhelming feeling (which is still always there,) we have our fun. I’ll get a few different messages and then respond comically like:“Stop it, I’m being serious!” Oh, Many good daily moments all the time… Like I’ve talked about before, communicating with loved ones in spirit is like how it is here only without their physical presence. It does seem like I talk to myself but that has kept me going all my life. Some may call it other things but it gets me through~ it truly does. If you struggle with talking to someone who has passed, just put anything out there like a close conversation. They do and will hear you but you have to do the work on your end. I was researching like crazy (pun intended) and really kept looking for some answers. Despite the spiritual help from others I did receive, my OWN self had to decipher the messages for me as only I can. Remember how Warrior said: “the answers are already inside you.”

I don’t see a psychic regularly and really don’t want to. It isn’t because I don’t believe but it’s just because I want to do what I can before asking or relying on someone else for the answer. The energy work is about clearing trauma and no, it isn’t always Warrior related. Only a BIG part was and it was NOT all about his passing of almost 9 years ago either. I’ve even cut down on my visits with her. Look at your own writing on the wall✍🏻 in front of you (figuratively) and ask for more bread crumbs on your path. You just may get the whole loaf! 🍞🥖 If others think you’re crazy, let them. Always believe in yourself and trust that intuitive gut. It speaks the truth if you only listen. 🫵🏻👂🏻🗣️

The Golden Era 🦁🌟💛

*** This post is a day early as I have lots going on tomorrow! ***

Ah yes, The Golden Era and the FIRST created by the ‘ol WWF in the 80’s to early 90’s. Yet another first the Ultimate Warrior was involved with. I never even knew they had “eras” until hearing people talk online or comments from my brother several years ago. Am sure you fans know but guess this wasn’t something I followed or truly cared about. The Ultimate Warrior was also part of The New Generation Era and I had heard of The Attitude Era. If you aren’t familiar with any as I don’t have them memorized, feel free to look them all up on your own. I believe the Golden Era has been the longest at 11 years. That is quite the number and spiritually speaking, it is one of the best!!!

Do you have a favorite era or Superstars from that time? Most know mine of course as I am old school but we are all entitled to our favorites and it amazes me that there are 7! Guess they weren’t created prior to 1983. Do you consider your own life with eras of time? Sure, we can start at infancy all the way into our older years. Some even say when you’re that senior citizen, it’s your “golden years.” That can be an era. Let’s think of all those words we use as expressions about life. There’s “over the hill,” “prime of your life,” “sowing your wild oats,” and so many more. What are yours?

We can reflect back or plan ahead but the best time of our lives is NOW in the present. That’s who we are. Make your own eras despite the WWE names over the years. All of us are life long learners for sure so use whatever era you are in and make it count.

Time is divided into so many categories and the actual definition has an era listed with several hundred million years! Several eras make up an eon. That would be like combining all the WWE eras into one eon… sorta. 😂They reference this with the age of dinosaurs. I just hope all those newer or younger fans never refer to us “old timers” as dinosaurs or even the wrestlers! They may joke but I never will.

Life does go on throughout all our eras of time and it continues despite a clock ticking or a calendar reminding us of days. I am grateful for all my eras of time thus far while creating new ones everyday. I am also grateful to have been a fan of the Golden Era because that was my destiny which started such a beginning. One that I never could have imagined becoming what it is now and my connection with Warrior.

Think about how an era of time in your life influenced the person you are now. We all have those younger experiences that made us perhaps stronger, wiser, or better. You era now can be influenced by the future as well. All of Warrior’s younger professions revolved around his physical body so each era helped create the next one. He was much more than that in many ways but being creative ( as previously mentioned) paved the era for his future endeavors.

I always wanted to teach so that began as a babysitter in a way, working with young kids, my own, and now teaching once again. This era of course involves adults and some different topics but one teaching led to the next. You can list your own eras of time too. It doesn’t have to be jobs but think of relationships you have. All those life lessons learned prepare you to experience the next era of time. Then, you will perhaps make choices that reflect your age and wisdom.

Each era of life has its own title just like the WWE has with theirs. Not everyone will become a parent but we are all somebody’s child. Not everyone will be a brother or sister but we all are a friend to someone. You may divide your eras into years like most do but live them fully so you are ready for the next one.

When you reflect back someday on an era of your choosing, I hope you do so with pride. We need the good memories more. Some will say those were “the good ‘ol days” and they could be like I do with the Golden Era. Let’s try to make every era good despite what happens. You can still have your favorite time but list positive aspects from each era that make it memorable. The Golden Era of WWE will always be extra special to me and many other fans but yours will be yours. Who knows how many more they will create but just like with time, it will go on.

Whatever you name your eras warriors- live them the best you can. Your Generation of Attitude can forever have its own Golden Era to never ever forget. 💜
