Goals, not Resolutions

šŸ„³šŸŽˆšŸ„‚3, 2, 1- happy 2025 warriors! I did a backwards 3ļøāƒ£ count to ring in this new year. It is here and I am ready to begin again. Just a few extra loose ends to tie up 2024 first. I forgot to mention another great connection in my last post of events through the year. It was when a friend stopped by my house to buy the book šŸ“— ( ā€œ Spirit and Beliefā€) and we had a lovely conversation outside. I was so grateful to hook up again and for her interest in my work. Many thanks goes in her direction… šŸ¤—Another moment was this past December before my niece’s wedding in TN. They decided at the last minute to hold the ceremony outdoors despite some rain, but it worked out. As I neared the chair to sit down, I noticed a little ladybug on the edge of my seat., just for me. It got me teary, 🄹 and the ceremony hadn’t even started yet. With some drama, I knew all would be OK with Ms. Ladybug šŸž protecting me. Anyone remember my other ladybug story of several years past? Another moment I found unbelievably true and yet ultimate all at once… ā¤ļøšŸ–¤

I DID mention a big number was coming up so here it is. The 4ļøāƒ£0ļøāƒ£0ļøāƒ£th post is officially today! šŸ˜€šŸ‘šŸ»Writings that is and not my practice posts in the beginning, I don’t count those. That’s quite a number as even the Ultimate Warrior down below is celebrating, ha ha! He’s ā€œrunningā€ into this new year, but I used it to show a backstage camera angle rarely seen so there ya go. If you’ve been here for all 400, go treat yourself to something special. You deserve it. I love how a milestone fell on NY day as we begin on 1-1 yet again. Let’s see~~~ hopefully not too many biggies this year as I need a break! The only 2 that come to mind are WMVI turning 35 ~~~ 3 months from today (yikes!!!) and the 40th anniversary of when Warrior and Sting started their wrestling career come November. That’s a ways off so we’ll stick to this month.

I don’t call them resolutions but goals. Yes, I am finally getting to the topic today! I try to jot down a few or even many and you know what? I saved my paper, (which is typical of me…) that had some goals for this past year of 2024. Most were accomplished, but a few are ongoing. I haven’t made one yet for 2025 as I will need to think some… šŸ¤” My mind imagines and *ONE* is still something I send out to Warrior or the universe. One of these days, I will try and make it happen. šŸ™šŸ»šŸ˜Ž šŸŽ¢ Some help is needed, though. Resolutions CAN happen, but most people are not truly disciplined to see them through the majority of the year. I can be, but just choose the word goals more. Make them attainable and don’t put too much pressure on yourself if a few don’t quite culminate the way you’d like.

Which word do you prefer or do you make a list at all? I’m not the one to approach an idea the same every year is that becomes tedious to me. Some ideas I love repeating, but then others get stale and I need a fresh start. It’s kind of like how the UW character had a little of the same, but then needed new to feel like he was evolving. I believe that’s true for all of us. We like our same but need excitement to keep our lives moving. Not running like UW but you get the idea. Even if you don’t make resolutions or goals, just go into this year of 2025 with positivity and let all the past SH*T go. Be authentic and do what you love. I will do that too for sure.

Oh, I did recently receive a note about my warrior batteries post which still attracts interest! šŸ”‹šŸ”‹ I know I posted that pic on here way back in 2016. There’s a woman who works at a company in Japan, where they sell warriors batteries. I looked up the site. Another guy from Mexico I think mentioned them once too a few years ago.? Needless to say, they would still make me think of Warrior himself, no matter where they came from in my candle lantern and I will always believe. They were what I needed to see then on my journey as he guides all who truly are part of this warrior way. šŸ’™

Very soon my kids will be back to college. A month long break it will be for my son! My daughter will be beginning locally so she can commute. We got her a car and she’s close to being set with her schedule. Fingers crossed šŸ¤žšŸ» it all goes well and she transitions from dorm life which just wasn’t for her. She did very well with the wisdom teeth too and didn’t want any meds. I am super proud of her! ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ I need some Calm brought into this year, but it is always filled with surprises along the way. You will have yours too. Winter is here, but maybe it’ll be a mild one. I hope so. Snow has definitely arrived here in Ohio. ā„ļø My body does not like the cold. I did not feel well for several days starting late Christmas Eve at my sister’s. I was down for the count and hated it! It was passed around briefly in my family, but I’m much better now. My body hates meds too like my girl so I have to be inventive.

Well, warriors~~~ that ends this 400th post on the first day of 2025. I hope you keep reading and start some goals that will inspire you to be your best warrior self this year. We need new energy and are getting some, I can feel it. Welcome January, and let’s slay all the naysayers!

P.S. my beautiful cousin thought of me recently while she was in a store. Pic coming soon! Oh, and this post of 400 should’ve been a selfie, oh well… šŸ«¢šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
