Giggles, Nerves, and Elation… 🤭😬🥹

Before I start this post, I unfortunately feel the need to of course comment on the passing of Hulk Hogan. He deserves more than just a PS at the end. It pains me to even have to type these words, but I need to. 💔😢 I know in the past, I have done many eye rolling and sighs concerning his behavior ~~~ however, this one hits HARD… My brother was such a huge support to me 11 years ago and I just wanted to be there for him on the loss of his favorite. Hulk Hogan was “THE GOAT” and nobody can ever take away what he gave to the business of pro wrestling, nobody… I know he had his share of demons like we all do as nobody’s perfect plus his share of health problems recently, but it still came as quite a shock to us all.

I couldn’t concentrate on anything else after my brother told me the news. I knew this day would come and we know it will for all of them, but it still hurts to lose somebody so important to my life in watching all those years ago, as he was such a part of pop culture as well. For me there are certain aspects that really pull on my emotions. One is when I see the word “late” describing them or I see their dates listed. That always always will affect me. I can’t fully explain why those aspects do but it just is..,

I’m sorry he could not make peace with his daughter or some of his other friends, including Brutus before he passed. I truly believe he tried in his own ways.., Many say his reunion with Warrior was fake or staged, but I’m not going to say all of that. I’ve never spewed hate for ANY of them and I still won’t. Sure, many actions they take I thoroughly dislike and I would get very mad but to their core they are just human like the rest of us. I’m glad he is pain-free as there will never be another quite like the Hulkster, who became immortal to all of us. We like to imagine all the reunions up where he is now, despite animosity between some of them over the years. It’s great for us to have. We need to celebrate the GOOD as the world lost another icon, never to be replaced… “ Whatcha gonna do brother when the largest arms in the world…. “ go back home… THANK you for the memories Hulk… I treasure them all. ❤️💛💪🏻 I can say more but will leave it at that..,

*** Oh boy, that was hard to do, but I hope that you all stay with me because this is really a funny post today as I was so excited to share. I will begin.

For this last post of July, I debated over many titles and they seem so similar to ones I already thought of, all nouns. I decided to use adjectives describing my feelings about each one for you. Wow, they are close enough anyway. The first 2 happened years ago but are still worth a mention while the 3rd happened a few weeks ago. I’ll start with the giggles as it’s a cute little reference that many may know if you have a dog. Can you guess how it connects to Warrior? Several years back while in the pet store, I saw a dog treat with the brand name of “DINGO”. It’s super popular but I had never seen them before. I don’t see the word dingo much anywhere and dog treats? No idea about that but it brought giggles my way. If you don’t know the reference to Warrior~~~find out if you wish. I still see them too, so just a funny cute story to start with. 🐕😅

This next one can also be funny but brought nerves for sure. A few years after getting “ The Ultimate Collection” DVD, I had it on the couch ready to be put away. No idea what I was watching then as it’s not often I do so these days. I believe it to be Disc 3 that had come loose and fallen between the couch and its cushion. Hours passed as clearly once it’s in my drawer~~~ it stays put until the next time. It wasn’t until my husband goes to sit down in his favorite spot on the couch did I notice it! OMG, what to do? Nowadays, no biggie but back then I couldn’t say a word. I kept saying in my head: “ go in the kitchen, go in the kitchen, go in the kitchen….!” Even the bathroom would’ve worked… It reminded me of the scene in the movie “ Wedding Crashers” when Jeremy wants Todd to: “ go in the closet, go in the closet, go in the closet!” That bedroom part came to me because my husband’s name is Todd! It was funny for me to connect that. 😂 He finally got up and I ran so fast, I could’ve been the Ultimate Warrior that evening. Thank goodness the DVD didn’t break. Not sure if he ever saw it but if he did, I was not told. He does know I own some.

This final one is my elation. Originally, I had just a 2 count but then a 3rd came my way, literally. I had been asking for a Bluejay feather just for fun as it had been a while. The hard part is letting it go but I did, for a bit. Most afternoons if the weather is nice, I love my backyard space. It will sorely be missed when we move but I’m grateful for it now. Once through the gate, I saw *TONS* of Bluejay feathers in the grass. I haven’t mentioned any in ages and now there were more than I could carry. They seemed to be around the same area where I first found a few 9 years ago, but this was crazy! Remember the dream where I found all the rhodonite crystals? Well, this was real and in my yard~~~ not someone else’s. I started crying a little but then I went to the negative. What if a Bluejay was mauled and its feathers got scattered everywhere? None looked too ruffled and no idea of foul play. I like to think positive so whoever (ahem,… I can’t say for sure) could be dumping them down from wait~~~ the Terrain of Testament, not Parts Unknown, right? ☺️

I brought them all in after getting a bucket as you can see on my plate below. Once cleaning them, I then counted those Bluejay feathers in front of me. I asked for 1 and got 51! The next day I saw another tiny one but 1 and 51 sound good together so actually 52. I was hoping for at least 30 (wouldn’t that connect to Warrior?) but glad to not get to 54. You can look all that up on your own. To answer your probable question~~~ YES I did keep them all~~~ separate from my box and sealed in a plastic bag. My feather box is getting too full these days, but how could I not keep these when spotting them after asking? You can have your UW merch or collectibles, I have feathers and crystals. They’re all different markings and mean so much to me. Who knows though? I may never get so many again and the next day, my husband mowed the lawn. Again, would he have noticed them? No clue. One can be super special as many may not but I felt good so that’s all that matters. I DID remember the dream I had with feathers all over my childhood yard. First a dream a few years back, and now the real thing!

Here are some of the nouns I originally thought of for this one: Dingo, Collection, and Feathers. Another was: Store, Couch, and Yard. BORING! Who would want to read that in a title? They were not intriguing to me at all, so it had to be emotions instead! That way, no idea on feathers as I’ve used that word plenty and dingo lately too. What a 3️⃣ count of dog treats, a DVD, and those Blue Jays I love to see. I will never truly know about all 51 or 52 of them, but it doesn’t make a difference to me. ***Maybe Warrior had the inside scoop on Hulk’s passing and wanted to comfort me ahead of time in a way? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙂‍↕️ Ask and you shall receive, however it comes. We can send out our wants to the Universe but surprises are always nice too.

You might not have a dog to see Dingo treats at a pet store or even have a DVD out to possibly get sat on, but I bet you’ve seen feathers. Like I have said~~~ rarely did I notice them until Warrior’s passing but now, I surely do. They are not always signs but still fun to see. I also keep cardinals, (of course) as they have been mentioned a lot, hawks , and Turkey vultures in my area but others I make a wish on and let blow away. These are my giggles, nerves, and elation for these warrior writings today. I wish you a week of surprises coming your way filled with POSITIVITY… Look to the good, ask, and see what can be shown on your warrior way.

P.S. It was a BIG emotional week of celebrity passings. I was so drained. Why is it always in groups of 3’s? I pray for all their spirits. 🙏🏻💙💙💙

Selling a “Character”

This topic. Oh boy, has it been discussed multiple times over the years but got brought to the media “arena” most lately. Lots of naysayers always comment how the Ultimate Warrior character didn’t “sell” other characters very much at all. I am here today to disprove that a little, despite guys in the business who say otherwise. Yes, I KNOW they were witnesses and are entitled to their personal views but some bash UW for everything and it’s not correct.

Ultimate Warrior DID sell many characters in the WWF, but just NOT in the way they may have wanted. Over the years, several experienced performers did not want to sell fully. What I mean is quite possibly the guys wouldn’t want to lose a belt, get pinned clean, or even have a long standing feud with someone. This was very common among them and not just with UW. There are multiple stories out there and it’s hard to decipher what to believe but come on readers~~~ we all know as fans there was backstage stuff. It was never seen and it would come out later on how certain people didn’t get along or just did things for the business~~~ nothing personal. Sometimes though, it was.

A lot of it was what Vince wanted to do at the time but of course there could’ve been conflicts over prestige, ego, money, and all that and one is oblivious or naïve if not aware of those. Let’s see~~~ UW praised Hulk Hogan, embraced him at WMVI, ( yes, that was planned but he felt it for real…) called him “immortal” in promos, put his name and image on some of his UW gear, and so many other examples one can look up. He loved Randy Savage and also complemented his gear, used his image, and would get DQ’d on matches~~~ which is still a loss. UW also mentored Undertaker and gave him advice when he doubted the initial beginnings of “The Phenom” or “Deadman”character. Let’s not forget all the casket and body bag experiences back then as I’m not bringing that up again! Ultimate Warrior won matches at the time a lot because Vince pushed the character and that made other guys jealous. I can understand that, I totally can.

The performers can and should have a say after a bit on the development of their character, and Vince was there to listen. It might not have gotten resolved equally for both sides as the boss called the shots but some felt it worthy to at least try. This was among them all and you can listen to interviews. I do realize there were many opponents of UW’s that lost quite often to him like Rick Rude but again~~~ I don’t believe it was always Warrior who would get his way. How about Papa Shango? I’m also not saying that every issue about selling or not selling was what I agreed with but I’m just making that point of how ALL of them were in that position. Warrior was adamant and stubborn at times involving some of the guys and would not sell, but that doesn’t mean it was that way all the time with everyone. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also know how some talent was not a threat to UW’s image so that factors in too…

Do you help to “sell” with people in your life? Do you do it out of kindness or reciprocity? I’m guilty of both but they are human emotions we all deal with. I complement others but not always do I get something in return. Would it be nice? You bet, ultimately it would but we can’t live for that and need to let it go. A few weeks ago I got the exact *SAME* compliment or “sell” if you will from 2 people unaware of each other. They both used the same words in a message and it humbled me. I love both guys and it meant the world to receive those… 🥹

Pro wrestling is a sell type of business but other sports? Not so much. No other team, player, or match is scripted where one decides in some fashion to put the other one “over” and lose in order to sell their opponent. No way! We know this of course but look at it from that perspective. If you were in the sports entertainment aspect, wouldn’t you want to “no- sell” sometimes because of various reasons? I bet you would just like me as nobody knows how it could go until in their boots.

Real life is the same. If we rarely receive, do we still give? Great question. Well, it all does depend because nobody wants to be a doormat but then again~~~ we need to find that balance of both. Am I going to always extend a nicety to another despite them never responding? Some do but I will admit frustration on my end. 🫤 We do need two way relationships but sometimes it just doesn’t happen and then other decisions need to be made. We don’t get a paycheck for selling a character in our personal life like the pros do.

So, did UW “run” to Vince all the time not wanting to sell every opponent? Highly unlikely. Did he sell more than he gets credit for? In many ways yes but not in THEIR way. Just make sure you don’t oversell another’s character and totally forget your own in return…

P.S. I realize Warrior was no saint and possibly had his share of many mistakes, but ALL of that does not justify the constant singling out of him that many do. All of them had their share of issues in other ways. Rant over!!! 🙄😬😯

A Heart Centered Path 💙🥤🥹

It seems like I just used the word heart in a post title, but it makes a second appearance. You’ll know why in the next several paragraphs or so. You’ll also notice the pic below is of the “Smoothie King Center” in NOLA where UW was inducted into the WWEHOF. Years ago, I used a photo of an actual Smoothie King shop and now 1 town away has a brand new location which I mentioned a little while back. Remember me saying how I would update when finally getting a smoothie there? Well, my son recently did and then my husband and I went. We ordered for our girl too. This is not just because of the name as to why I write about it today. Nope, as there were or are a few other connectors. I seriously have to stop my face from reacting sometimes. 😯 2️⃣ smoothie drinks are: “Daily Warrior” and “ The Hulk.” I kid you not… I had seen some Warrior drinks in other shops, including a ☕️ coffee place, but never alongside Hulk.

The “ Daily Warrior” is a green one as I do those on occasion. “The Hulk” was a blueberry mix and hard to believe that one was not green like the old TV show! 😂 No, I did not get either. Maybe one of these days when I go alone, I’ll get my “Daily Warrior” but then again, I don’t need a smoothie for that! I just thought it was too funny seeing both of their names on the menu as I finally made my way into a Smoothie King shop. No huge NOLA venue as I was at another Smoothie King along with not only Warrior but Hulk, so cool. Wait, Hulk was there 11 years ago in the audience front and center, ha ha!

Let’s get into my title, now warriors. I have 2 quotes to share today. That seems to be the go to lately without a 3 count. The first one was part of this Oracle card deck I own and absolutely love. “The Luminous Warrior Journey” talks a little about some cards as that post is also STILL widely read, thank you… So, I wanted to start off the month with a 7 day spread from that Shaman Deck. Again, if most of you don’t practice this~~~ I understand but just keep with me here. The one card I drew was : “ Many Paths.” I love it as in our own lives we walk along so many paths and decide which is best for us, including Warrior . Here’s a line from the description that resonated for me. “ Be sure you pick a path with heart.” Isn’t that true? We should always FEEL our way through. Let me explain.

Even though Warrior was all about mentality and logic, nobody can tell me his decisions were not made with a heart centered path~~~ NOBODY… Despite his passion with his free will and principles, the heart is what makes that passion ignite like a rocket ship, 🚀 not the head. The mind thinks, the heart feels, and then the GUT acts. That’s my three 3️⃣ count, how about that?

Warrior’s paths were many, but we should all aspire to do what lights us up in spite of a livelihood for financial support. We need those outside interests so much too. The path is not a straight line either and it will take many detours. Warrior’s heart centered path finally led him back to that “Smoothie King Center” while letting all those roadblocks get clotheslined along the way. Your heart is your SOUL so listen to it and get rid of the mind chatter. We may not all take the same path or have the same journey but the final destination remains equal. You can dissect it anyway you choose but remember how it is not a weakness to follow your heart, it never is.

The next quote I will share was part of my Facebook intuitive group and boy, do they post some ultimate ones! It was several thoughts that start with: “ how to feel...” They made me get goosies! This one pertains to what I have been doing with you all these years: “ How to feel time?” “ Write.” ✍🏻

Wow, that’s amazing to me. I do feel when I write and if anyone ever has read anything Warrior wrote, he felt time too. It means you are focused on the task at hand, have little distractions, and your passion comes out. You feel the words as they are brought to life. At least that’s my take on it. I realize most of you aren’t writers, but words are so incredibly powerful~~~ spoken or written. I won’t write for hours a day like Warrior recommended but I love seeing inspiring quotes that I copy down in my many journals. You all can tell I feel my words when writing, correct? Just read out loud sometimes as that too will make you feel the words even more.

That’s my daily warrior doses of today! I had a path (always heart centered,) which led me to that Smoothie King shop similar to Warrior’s journey to HIS Smoothie King. Yes, I KNOW it is not even remotely the same but you get the idea! Even if you don’t have a smoothie or even write , always lead a heart centered life and feel many paths on your OWN warrior journey…

P.S. I have not used a non-Warrior pic ( except for selfies) in over a year!!!

P.P.S. AND, you are not going to believe this! When I went to dinner recently with my sister and nieces, we wanted 🍱 sushi as we all love it so! Guess what was one of them on the menu? Yep, a warrior roll. I did not get that, but I got “ The Beach.” 🤭

Hand me the Sledgehammer!

***** First, I hope anyone in the US who celebrated our Independence Day last week had a fun time! 🍔🌭🎇🎆🧨 ~~~ I do have to add this though. While we were in the parking lot waiting for fireworks to begin, I saw this man in front of us by his car. When he turned around, he had on an Ultimate Warrior shirt!!! It was UW’s mask like a flag that I know he had back then. Couldn’t tell if there were any words on it, but I so wanted to go up to him and say something! I did not but how cool to see…Been forever it seems since I have noticed anything like that!!! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Now, I will begin…. Yes, I know. No need to scroll down, see this week’s photo and scold me. Fans of Ultimate Warrior will know what I’m referencing. In almost 9 years, I have NEVER and didn’t want to use much pertaining to that Superstars “Funeral Parlour” segment. Kinda sad stuff too 💔 besides the shocking… *** Today, though~ it appears because a funny Kathy story is back! I have done wrestling, the spiritual, and a little more ol’ WWF lately, but these specific details of that time have not been shared. At least I don’t think they have. 🤔 I do know a few tidbits weren’t in the past so let’s “bury” ourselves into this topic, ha ha!

Maybe you loyal readers will recall me saying how I would go get a sledgehammer and free Warrior out of that casket. Here’s a question before I begin. If any of you wrestling fans could’ve been in a certain storyline, changed an outcome, or written an angle differently, what timeframe would you choose? You can see where I’m going on this but there were others and not all involved UW. Most, admittedly~~~ yes but I rooted for the good guys so many matches or scenarios would favor them. Of course I know it can’t be that way all the time but come on fans, I bet you talked about plenty back in the day or still are.

Just keep that in mind as I share this after cracking myself up with the memory. 🤭 I will mention a sledgehammer just a moment with 2 connectors. I remembered the 1986 sitcom by that name about a crazy cop who thought of his gun as his BFF. My brother loved that show just like the WWF… Another one is the 1986 (same year) song by Peter Gabriel. You can look them both up as I did to refresh my flashbacks. Cue laughter with the song! I do look up lyrics and music videos to familiarize myself once again. That song is still played on the radio but the opening video sequence?! No MTV for me then so I never saw it when released. Well, I didn’t totally know what the song was about at the age of 14 but later on certainly did. Do you know the video? I KNOW you’ll look it up after reading. I always thought of a sledgehammer to open that casket, but NO way did that connect to the song. NO, NO, NO~~~ but it is totally funny how in 1991 when I was almost 19, and that segment happened., Ah, memories… 😳 Let’s start the story!

You might not think it would be quite comical, considering the subject matter and my feelings about all that back then. Just follow along and you’ll be laughing as well. I sure want you to! 😂 I needed to laugh after a few days when seeing all that in order to blink again. Also, my insides had to stop saying : “ I HATE Vince!” all day. Yes, I always blamed him for everything even though the guys had to agree…mostly.

OK, so when UW was in that casket, I was (naturally) backstage as I knew him and came to events. This is MY scenario, remember! He would tell me how things would get lined up, match outcomes, and all that so I always knew ahead of time, even for that Funeral Parlour. I wasn’t liking this concept but it was business and I had to accept that. Vince was announcing with Randy and Hot Rod ( who kept me sane with their comments…) so I was in the back with some other wrestlers just watching it unfold. I BROKE and after seeing all those guys out there with the hammers, chisels, drills,🔨⚒️⛏️ , and what nots, I couldn’t stand it any longer. I bolted out of the back and found a sledgehammer. Why would they have one around? 🫨 I ran past the wrestlers as they stared in disbelief while thinking how Vince would explain this to fans on the air! He’d get word through his earpiece but decided to just go with it. I know the shows were taped, but this would not be edited out. They couldn’t go to a commercial, right? I’m laughing even now. 😆 I see those useless men trying to open the casket and pounded my sledgehammer into the side!

I can only imagine UW swearing inside the ⚰️ saying: “ What the F is she doing?” He still had to play his role like you saw possibly on TV all the while with the men trying to pull me away. Needless to say, I got it OPEN as Vince is shouting : “ Who is this woman and where did she come from?” I can hear his voice in my head… He had his role to play too. How about the aftermath? More funnies from me as I can picture all 3 of us~~~ Vince, Warrior, and myself sitting at a table later on just staring. Warrior has his arms crossed vowing to never tell me anything again or maybe banning me from being there. He might’ve laughed though.., I would not have wanted to be around after the casket which brought snakes 🐍 and then voodoo the following year.

Vince had to make some kind of announcement or work me into the storyline somehow since I saved Warrior. Fans loved it though, but it begged several questions. All UW’s “mystique” would be unveiled just a little as now a woman is involved., Hmmm, what to do? No real ending as it could go on for a bit, but I still laugh at it all today. Yeah, yeah, I KNOW what you’re thinking and yes, that part of me comes out to play as I did rescue Warrior after being “oxygen deprived” for many minutes! You can take that anyway you wish but at least my sledgehammer did the job and I got great ratings for the show! 😉

P.S. Now, you can go look up those sledgehammer references! 📺🎼

P.P.S. No true idea on how the story came to me. Scenarios maybe? When I was teaching in the fall of ‘91, kids were mentioning WWF but UW was gone then? 🤷🏻‍♀️

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 Three Titans 💪🏻

1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣!

Hello warriors! We all are anyways whether you followed the Ultimate one’s career or not. I looked up some info and never had I used the word Titan at all on here. The number three has been repeated multiple times but never titan so how about that? I used it today because of 3 guys I am mentioning and one ~ well~~~you know him but the other 2? Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan. I’m sure you know them too. I will start with Ultimate Warrior because of the most recent “80’s wrestling the podcast” episode. It was all about UW’s ‘90 Heavyweight title run.

When it was first announced how that would be the topic, I gotta say I SIGHED… I hated to do that, but it comes and stayed with me a bit. One never knows with topics that involve Warrior so I cringed well fully knowing calling in would be a must. I can be unbiased, of course but some discussions~~~ people need to watch out or should I say BEWARE of me! You will know more on that word later. It was finally podcast day and they took me first. WHAT? 😳There were 4 callers ahead of me. I was stunned and overwhelmed but they know me and UW facts (or maybe emotions…) so I went first. The episode is called “ The Ultimate Warrior’s World Title Reign.” It was from June 19. It’s almost an hour although for some reason it got cut off early! 😤 I don’t know what happened but I am on about 16 minutes in for 10 minutes or so. The callers were all so positive and blamed poor booking on his not “ Hogan- like run.” 🙄

I loved everything that they said, and it was the longest I ever spoke! Feel free to check it out wherever you can get podcasts. I downloaded the free Podbean app but if you are a UW fan, it’s worth a listen. Just not the end that gets cut off. 🤦🏻‍♀️ They made some excellent points and Warrior was defended well so after all my sighs~~~ they didn’t let me down. No gorilla press slamming on my end!

Let’s move onto Vince and some news which few that follow might know already. He and a business partner who is a previous WWE executive have formed a new company. I’m not entirely surprised as Vince is not going to just sit around and rely on lawsuits to keep him in the news of wrestling. His company isn’t mentioning sports entertainment per se but one never knows. It’s called “ 14th and I” which are 2 streets in Washington DC where his Dad created “ Capitol Wrestling Corporation” or CWC. Nice touch on the name but we shall see what transpires… It’s an investment firm handling sports, media, and entertainment. He has the money, but it’s his personal reputation that could hinder some success. Both Vince and Brad Blum are part of some impending legalities so time will tell.

Lastly, Hulk Hogan. He and Eric Bischoff (former president of WCW) are partnering together to embark on a new wrestling company called “ Real American Freestyle” or RAF. I’m sure they got the title from HH’s old theme music. Its launch will be this August near ME in Cleveland, Ohio so that will be a crazy night down there come late summer. Both guys will oversee much along with a longtime wrestling coach named Israel Martinez. It features men and women competing in weight classes with time limits. They have teamed up with some former NCAA legends and tickets have already gone on sale. There were rumors of Hulk and Eric working together on something for months so now it’s freestyle wrestling. Maybe my husband would be interested as it’s closer to “real” wrestling and he was very good in high school. 🤼‍♀️ Another time will tell on this one but with those men involved, I’m sure curiosity will invite fans to follow. Also, athletes they are familiar with already.

That’s enough about Vince and Hulk as I don’t like getting into all that but news is news and I thought the three Titans worked! After all, WWEHQ was called “ The Titan Towers” for years and writers often referred to Hulk and Warrior as their two Titans, especially around the time of WMVI. I think it totally connects today, don’t you? I also wanted a pic of UW as champ since the podcast focused on that so it is a little off center. The magazine was folded over as I had no need for the words, just the photo. I had fun adding his colors so it worked out. 🩷🧡💚

Did fans miss me talking wrestling? It will be a rarity on here from now on unless I feel something worthy to mention like today. Hard to believe July is next week! My, time is running just like the Ultimate Warrior and my time is running out with you all for this post. Check out “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” to hear me once again. I’ve called a bunch lately! I love those guys, everyone has embraced me being mostly the only girl caller so it’s humbling to have some ultimate love! 🥰

P.S. When I first started calling into the show, they were giving everyone nicknames. I was called “the ultimate caller.” Recently, I have been outside so they were hearing lots of birds. They started calling me “the Bird Woman.” The following week, the episode was all about “ The Birdman” Koko B. Ware as a fan suggested. I was then called Kathy B. Ware!!! I loved it as they do need to * BEWARE* of me on certain topics! 🦅😂

My Heart is FULL 🥹💙

Hey there readers… In regards to last week, I do have a few more little things to add before truly beginning today. Mercury is actually MY ruling planet (not Saturn.) 🪐 It governs Virgo ♍️ and ♊️ Gemini with those Astro signs. Warrior~~~ as previously stated had that Gemini sign like my daughter and 2 days ago on Monday would’ve been his 66th birthday. 66 on 6/16… Man, those 6’s are abundant right now it seems. Back to the planet idea for just a moment. EVERY DAY upon waking, I recite a morning mantra given to me by my former energy healer. It connects to staying “ fully embodied to this planet” among other expressions. I have it memorized and it helps me get “back to earth” in a way after dreaming. I have mentioned that before, but it did relate. I also need to say that after publishing a post on here: (warrior writings) every week. It’s just interesting involving planetary action which involves me to stay present AND “roping” in Warrior…

Now, onto other news. I do hope all you Dads out there celebrated Father’s Day in a way fitting to you with humans AND animals. This is the first year in a few where we were not on vacation. I wish the guys all the best with those they love as I’m sure Warrior’s girls send their love to him always… 💖💖

How about music here for a bit as I’ve missed it so! Have you? It’s always good and comical~~~well, most of the time anyway. My husband and I were eating at a restaurant outside last weekend and they were playing 80s songs. Perfect for me! They played “ Holding out for a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler from the “ Footloose” movie and then~~~ keep reading. I had made the comment on how much I love the songs but that song makes me go 2 ways. First~~~ yes, it does make me think of Warrior as years passed of course and not in 1984 when it was released! Oh, lyrics you are so fun. ☺️💪🏻 Nowadays, it gets me a little teary as I remember my daughter playing that soundtrack last spring as part of their high school musical. Those kids did an ultimate job re-creating the huge Broadway hit! Fast-forward a few songs later, to “ The Warrior” by Scandal. Wow, haven’t heard that in ages as I just kept eating while loving it on the inside. Come to think of it, 🤔 I did hear it in April but not since. How great to hear a little before his birthday, it made my evening. 🤭

This last piece of info today concerns a recent email I received a little over a week ago. A woman had sent me a glowing review of my book “ Spirit and Belief.” I honestly wasn’t even going to mention it at all on here anymore, but lo and behold~~~ it makes its presence known from time to time, even after 8 years. When first glancing at the email, I skimmed it thinking how this was just another book marketer with the same exact “speech.” I don’t want to be negative, but my brain is used to those kinds of emails about the book. So unbelievably grateful to have read it more slowly and thoroughly as I printed it out to save. I was overwhelmed by her words filled with such heartwarming sentiments. I will share a few with you:

“…reading your work felt like sitting down for an honest, heart- centered conversation with someone who knows- not just believes in-the unseen truths that guide us.” She goes on to say how I bridged the spiritual with the personal while not “ sugarcoating the struggles.” It was all about synchronicities, signs, and a soul connection. I love all those S’s! She called me a storyteller with purpose. How beautiful but she is right. She goes to state how by me sharing my words that it enables others to listen to their intuition and find their voice. “ your passion and vulnerability come through so clearly” as my book which she agreed was not written from my mind but heart as well. My reviewer thanked me for sharing and letting others walk along with me. You better believe I emailed her back… 🥰

I hope she finds this blog as I did mention it but more than that, I hope she continues on her own spiritual journey. She also brought * THAT* spiritual trait of mine into the email. It was recognized by her when unbeknownst to me when writing the book years ago. The celebrity of Warrior was never mentioned and really didn’t have to be. The book was recommended to any searching for spirituality as an “ insightful encouraging companion.” I am SO very incredibly touched by her words, inspiring message, and taking time out of the day to send me a note. I DID step into my purpose as she so eloquently wrote and these emails truly make all the difference to me.

Thank you to ALL who feel so brave contacting me as my gratitude is immeasurable. We are all uniquely on journeys that resonate with the spiritual warrior inside us. You can know your planet, Astro sign, songs, or even read amazing emails, but do it all with a purpose befitting this great life. I take it all with an open mind and open heart. Thank you as well always to Warrior for gifting me the courage to not just step into my purpose, but to OWN it. Use your intuition guiding others to do the same… ***Here’s to 66 in honor and memory of Warrior… I will always believe. Spiritually yours,

Kathy 🙏🏻🤍

P.S. That photo was from Warriors’s first comic book that I own. I thought it fit perfectly today.

P.P.S. You can find my book 📗 anywhere that books are sold. Check it out on Amazon, iTunes, Kindle, and others, I so appreciate the support and would love your feedback always. Thank you, thank you, thank you,. 

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!!! 😯☺️

Stomp out the Dust 😯

Happy June warriors. I am back to using UW pics 😌 once again. Summer will officially be making its way to my part of the U.S. very soon so we need Mr. ☀️ ! A couple things first here. Last week~~~ I had said it to be 4 weeks of no painted pics, but it was actually 3~~~my bad. “Forest Dingo” was painted in that photo! 🤭 The next point is also referencing last week. I looked and noticed the word ultimate had yet to be used in a post this year so it almost made it 6 months. Hard to believe…

***Time for another introspective one today….

That photo below shows Ultimate Warrior literally stomping on Goldust but my ideas today take it metaphorically of course. I have said before we need to release stuff from our lives in order to move forward yet sometimes we need reminders. We can’t half- a** it, they need to be stomped out~~~which includes the dust left behind. It is so very hard as I’m learning all the time too. There are often glitches but then I refocus to get back on track. You can even look at little areas of your life needing improvement. How about junk food? Gossiping? Binge watching? It starts small warriors and then moves into bigger issues of yourself, relationships, habits, and belief systems. Keep belief systems in your head for just a bit as it is widely a topic on here but I will press a new word your way with NOUS. It is pronounced “noose” and is French.

Do any of you remember my post from 1/24 titled “Believing is Feeling?” It detailed this little red book I devoured and couldn’t put down. Two historical people were the topic and the word nous was intertwined with both. I subscribe to the author’s email as she had been absent for a while. I love her ability to convey such powerful words as I read each OUT LOUD, every time. Just last week, she related a story concerning her younger days in Divinity school and a certain professor she worked closely with. The word nous became part of this story. It simply means “we” in French but expands to so much more. I’m not getting religious like I’ve said, but just spiritual~~~ there is a difference. Nous is the humanity and divinity within us all. We don’t have to go “running” after it like Ultimate Warrior did in his prime.

The word nous actually originated from Greek as it connects to the MIND… 🧠 Warrior was all about that as many know. Nous is our common sense, logic, intellect, and rational thinking. It operates on a more modern word of intuition. Yep~~~ he referenced that repeatedly in his writings over the years as well. Your sense as a human just knows things to be true without fully questioning just like my author feels about her works.

Our inner knowing or internal GPS as some call it, is innate. We just have to tune in to find it. Claircognizance is elaborated somewhat in MY book, but this author doesn’t use that word. “Clair” is also French. Many even say the mind is like “ the spiritual eye of the heart,” but I believe the gut holds it all together~~~ literally. It is our birthright and “treasure” to have this mind and then truly feel in our heart what is right for us all while using our natural state of intuition. What is true for you? What needs to be stomped out and turned to dust?

Well, let me share a recent dream I had. Yes, it’s been a long while but this was more of an unpleasant one I needed to stomp out. The real life plays again warriors… I won’t share the details this time, but let’s just say it involved WWF (yes back then) and something I was part of. I did not want to be involved and yet somehow in this dream~~~ I was. It became very uncomfortable as I keep asking my team for lucidity during these times. After a bit of “awkwardness,” I saw it. The word NOUS in big letters above me in this strange wrestling event. What? Wow. 😮 I had read her email that day last week! OK, you can argue the “we” meaning and that will work. My body and soul are split in dreaming but I connected it more. To me, it meant my mind could control this situation and work to get me out of it. It DID work. I saw that word and immediately felt it enough to awaken. It’s not a “noose” strangling us but more like a rope that tethers us to what is true and real…

No, I wasn’t put in a casket for those fans thinking of a possible scenario! ⚰️ 😳 It did concern “The Slammy Awards” of 1987 but not in a good way. At least it wasn’t for me and I had to fight a little to stomp it out. I have belief systems now that I’m remembering and by listening to my mind, heart, and gut, I can overpower that negativity and return to my nous. It’s a bond we all have and can access any time. Sometimes, it even comes when we are not expecting it too. We just need to practice and overtime, it will get stronger just like mine has and still is. To reprogram our minds might take a lifetime but if you are willing to put in your best effort, it will get recognized.

Believe in stomping out what doesn’t fit in your life to dust while enabling your own nous to come through. You may not physically see it but you will feel it in one way or another. Thank you team and Warrior always for showing me my NOUS… 🙏🏻🥰

P.S. Our pool 🏊‍♀️ is open, so I am excited to hopefully go in soon! 🌊

The Ultimate Dingo King 💪🏻🐕👑

To start off, I hope anyone who celebrated Memorial Day enjoyed their day off from work but of course it is so much more. That day is to honor and remember all our service men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom here in the US. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 I do wish you all had some moments of reflection on those TRUE warriors who paid the ultimate price. My daughter was actually born on a Memorial Day 19 years ago tomorrow. How is she in her last year as a teen? Time is a gift and also very precious indeed as she will always be my Memorial Day baby. She will also always be my Gemini girl as Warrior was that too. ♊️

OK~~~ now you are probably wondering about that title. I have come up with some bizarre ones lately, right? 😂 You know I always explain so I’ll go in order. The ultimate word pertains to a certain pic I was planning on using soon. I saw it in the book, snapped it, edited, and kept it a day on my phone. For some reason later on, I was thinking I had already used that one. So, I checked my media but didn’t go all the way through. Guess I got distracted by something else, who knows? I did eventually make my way across the many pics~~~ almost 9 years worth ( minus a few…) mind you and finally saw it. I was right, but when it kept bugging me was when I found myself half awake and asleep. Yes, warriors as previously discussed~~~that’s when intuitive moments “slam” into me. My head was telling me I already used that photo so glad I checked. This has happened before but not quite in such a comical way as that time. It was as if Warrior himself delivered me that message! Maybe he did… 😊

Next, we’ll get into Dingo up in the title. I thought it fitting to end the month with another pic from his early days in WCCW. I had gotten out the book: “ A Life Lived Forever” to look at more possible photos for anyone wondering. Why did they have him pose with that forest around? I did look up some info but no idea if it truly connects to what WCCW was going for. Dingos ( those wild dogs like coyotes here) actually live in many dense areas of Australia, including forest regions. Maybe someone knew that back then but I would have no idea. It can be a “green screen” but looks like he’s holding a leaf? That could be staged also but I still wondered why with the scenery? I may never know but glad to always research on my own anyways! Do I honestly believe they went to an actual forest? Nah~~~ but I will probably never have that answer. 😂🌲🍃

That takes me to the King. No, not those other WWF guys to hold that title! While out last week, (I’ll admit we went for 🍨 ,) my son noticed 2 new businesses going into where the old “ Boston Market” used to be. He was so excited to see “ Qdoba” and a “ Smoothie King” with signs already in place. Of course, I paused a moment to myself… 🥹 For those unaware, the “Smoothie King Center” in NOLA is where Ultimate Warrior was inducted into the WWE HOF in 2014. It is also the name of smoothie shops *** AND** I wrote a story many years past of seeing one when attending a family wedding. My son naturally looked them up as he has “ Qdoba” near college and we don’t over here. There’s “ Chipotle” which is very similar. No “ Smoothie King” (s) although we do have other shops identical.

Both will be opening very soon. Smoothie King opens May 30 while Qdoba will be June 16. Oh my. Couldn’t they have been reversed? Again, a connection as Warrior’s birthday was 6-16 so the Smoothie King shop opening on THAT date would fit better, right? Absolutely it would so darn on that… 🫤 Too funny though as we are excited to go to both!

Another story I will share regards the “ Forest Dingo” photo that I almost forgot. While finding that pic in the book, my eyes darted left as I re-introduced myself to a little bit of Warrior’s days as part of “The Blade Runners”with Sting. Then, after going off on his own and becoming Dingo~~~ he shares a story of being in Texas at the Colosseum in Fort Worth where the big rodeos are. It was also where they did some wrestling matches. He states: “ You actually walk through horsesh*t and mud and everything else to get to the ring every night.” Well, that certainly rang my 🛎️ just a little. It was then I finally remembered the story from MY book: “ Spirit and Belief.” Awww, what a great memory of a beautiful dream I had 9 years ago now. In that dream ( for a quick recall,) SummerSlam ‘92 was held at a fairgrounds. 🏟️ I always loved the fair and they have rodeos there too. I ran through mud since it had been raining in order to get to Warrior. He wrestled Randy Savage for the title. I won’t share the entire story but I will share a quote of mine. Just like Warrior having to walk through horse sh*t, I too in that dream walked or really ran through all that to find my way to the match. Here’s my line from the story: “ We all need to find our way through life’s obstacles by achieving what our heart is calling us to do.”

Yeah… 💖 that was my very 1st dream as I totally got that message from Warrior’s mud filled days to mine, although not entirely the same. Oh~~~ those metaphors which did resonate for me then and still do today…. There ya have it with a 3 count and a little added extra bonus at the end. The Ultimate Dingo King, I’m still laughing at that title plus Forest Dingo! 😂😂 Who would’ve thought those 3 would make a story today? *** I WOULD go through horsesh*t to be up close at a UW match anytime, I would! 💩

P.S. I’ll let ya know when we go to Smoothie King!

P.P.S. 4 weeks in a row of no painted 🎨 pics… I think that’s a record…
