Initiate THEN Integrate 💪🏻

It’s Warrior Wednesday so I am here to start a new match with all you readers today. I hope you’re getting into this season of giving and receiving while bringing kindness to all you do. I’m not specifically writing a Christmas post this year but as always~~~ many memories of the past to fondly look upon while creating new ones. This month, however marks 1️⃣0️⃣ years since I began a daily meditation practice. 🧘‍♀️ Oh my goodness, double digits now on that. I have shared my beginnings on how that evolved in an interesting way but so grateful to still integrate it every day. Warrior did meditate also years ago…

Great way to lead into my title as UW paces down below in that photo before a match. Another word resurfacing in different media for me and integration wouldn’t leave for whatever reason. It’s quite possibly because these words are meant to be discussed on here so this is what I do. Sometimes I only have one idea and then like magic, 🪄 it all tags in. We can connect with ideas started as initiating somehow and then getting it integrated for a consistent practice. It can be anything you start and then after a bit, it becomes part of you. That’s how fitness also began for me as it did for Warrior when in high school.

Sometimes when we initiate something, it might not work out the way we had anticipated. This can be like planning an activity with a friend, (been there) hosting a party, as I am getting frustrated with THAT coming soon for Christmas Eve, 🤦🏻‍♀️ or even sending a text to someone. The response back may be exactly what we were hoping but then again~~~ it could be the opposite. I’m sure all of you have found yourselves in similar situations. Our reactions do not need to define us and yet somehow, they do at times. We integrate them into our being as it all becomes part of us. If you feel it is a negative feeling you are holding onto, let it go. I just recently heard that song “Let Go” by Firehouse and how fitting for this time of year. Firehouse was a band Warrior listened to often back in his days of being on the road.

Let’s bring another aspect into the ring. UW initiated so much with his character and then put it all into action by integrating spirit, belief, and discipline. Two words in my book 📗title! He used those same aspects in his life as Warrior by embodying what it truly meant to live his destiny. We can all bring our own traits to the mat and then feel them in deeper ways. You have to feel it to heal it as there’s no bypassing the ugly stuff you know. When adults~~~ if we don’t get our way, do we throw ourselves on the floor and plug our ears like a toddler? I surely hope not! We need to deal with situations like grown-ups, while still maintaining our level of integrity and truth. Some do not respect principles or boundaries but us warriors need to stand our ground!!!

You might think I am referencing other states of being here, but that is not the case. By integration, I don’t mean those with split identities and personalities that learn to accept their parts through medication or therapy. Yes, those can be serious mental health issues that need to be addressed but I am meaning other wounded parts of us common to all. Things in our life get started, however or whatever they may be and then within time, they get integrated into wholly being part or within us~~~ never forgotten. They are always still there, possibly buried or hidden but not brought to the surface until ready. You will know when they arrive and if they do, will you be able to be honest about how to best address them? Positives and negatives both.

For me, as loyal readers are aware this has been an ongoing process and one that continues~~~ only in differing ways now. Like I’ve said, acceptance is the victor here because what we resist will persist in some form. We take it all and compartmentalize in our mind where it needs to go. Remember my containers of last week? I didn’t know what to do with all my spiritual learnings, Warrior’s energy, or all these questions constantly coming to light. 😳 No way could there be a container big enough once initiated to then integrate it ALL, could there be? Well, warriors there is and it’s not like another. There are many facets to each one’s journey and we all learn what truly works best for us in time. Warrior had much he wanted to begin as he was always full of ideas ready to be initiated. Some came to fruition, and some did not as that truth resonates for any reading today~~~including me. We integrate a win, loss, new belief, relationships, ups, downs, and in between. All successes and failures.

Our spirit already has that area of our lives figured out but our bodies, minds, and hearts need to catch up with this physical world we live in as humans. It can be difficult trying to see what parts of us will remain, and which will be let go like the song states. “ Take a deep breath, and go with the flow, make it easy on yourself…”Yep, those lyrics fit too. What part of you that began as an initiation of sorts is ready to be fully integrated and what can be set free? We need it all so it won’t just be happy moments, remember. Don’t wallow or spend too long in the negative areas as life needs more joy, so integrate more of that and not just because of the Holidays…

Initiate THEN integrate. Take it all in. See what happens… You might pace a little like UW there, but let go. Your spirit will cover you for the win.

P.S. If I could list an initiation on this spiritual journey with Warrior, it would obviously be 2014 but integration began early 2016. Almost 10 years and still going… ❤️

“ The Caring Containers” 📦🧳💗

Here we are in this last month of 2025 warriors. It went by pretty fast when I think back to what I was writing in January. How has it been going for all of you? Time does slip away with all its highs and lows. I hope this month brings you a sense of peace, compassion, and * CARE* as we approach Christmas with the New Year. UW ⬇️ looks like he’s running into 2026 but I will be here a few more weeks before taking my holiday break. Until then, let’s shake those ropes and gear up today. You might be wondering what this odd title means so it’s up to me clarifying which is what I do…

The word of container popped up or “ran” my way in an email not so long ago with it being depicted metaphorically of course. Metaphors like last week only differently. Plus, just TODAY~~~it was part of my daily Calm with the meditation app. It was called “a gentle container”. How about that? Perfectly fits for today… 🤍 It did keep coming back to my thoughts so now, I will expand on how this fits in my life but always in yours too. Think about a physical container or visualize one if you can. Maybe you see a glass jar, a bottle, plastic jug, or even a flower pot. Yours can even be a box. It could have water in it, another liquid, soil, plants, or other items. Again~~~ anything since it’s yours to fill. Lastly, think about whatever is in it expanding or growing. Does it take on the shape of the container with space to move or is it something stagnant that just rests in its spot? It seems like a science lesson, doesn’t it? It’s all your choice. Will your object occupy the entire container immediately or will there be more to add later on? It’s all up to you readers.

I know with me~~~ I thought of this certain flower pot in my home. It started with tiny indoor succulents 🪴 with room to grow. Then they started sprouting and spreading to fill the entire space. We start small and grow up too. If I would ever transplant them outdoors or in the ground, I’m sure those succulents would expand. These are indoor plants but you get what I’m saying. Plants fill a container just like liquids or soil mentioned earlier. Let’s finally switch this up and tag in something deeper felt. How about within ourselves. Do you have enough space with your personal containers to fill up and do they overflow? We can only take so much until our body needs water, food, rest, alone time, or any of those essentials. If not, our container breaks down in someway.

Here’s another metaphor to consider. When packing a suitcase, if too much is in you will be unable to close it. If it’s too big for the overhead compartment on an airplane, you need to check it. We have to take some out to make room. It’s like cleaning out your closet or dresser drawers. I know I do this often. All that bulk “wearing” us down needs to be donated or sold. Sometimes we buy again but sometimes not. The old has to be pinned down so the new can grow. All carrying containers dealt with by us in our own time.

How about with relationships? We all know this and yet sometimes don’t submit because we always want things the same. Realistically, life isn’t like that warriors but it is hard to face. Our emotions matter and when something is lost or disconnected, do we want it back? We might but then aspects have changed and trust is difficult to gain again. Warrior also knew this and yet our hearts need to remain open because it’s worth the risk. Remember my story of “ The Eyedrops Commercial” years ago? Just when I thought no more tears could come out of my eyes, there they were and much longer than I anticipated after Warrior’s passing. Will we ever run out of 😭 ? Nope, there’s an endless supply just like love in our hearts. We may fight them both but then they reappear whether we accept it or not. We can make room for other caring containers to hold space for those people or ideas that are sacred to us.

Physically, this is much different for obvious reasons. I mean if you’re buying a new couch and have no room for another, the older one has got to go somehow right? You also wouldn’t overfill a glass of water to drink as that’s a big mess. But our hearts and minds will always make room for more love and greater learning because that’s what we are here to do warriors. Love more and learn more however that feels for you.

I bet you can think of so many more examples in your life I’m not listing here. Once Warrior had a family~~~ his own containers, (if you will) opened up to so much more than what he had ever known. It is an ultimate challenge when we are faced with many difficulties in life but we continue on every day filling up, emptying, and beginning again. We may even need to shatter something to pieces in order to grow or let it go if it was never ours to take. It’s like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. It doesn’t work and forcing only leads to broken containers. We learn our lessons and hopefully move on. What’s meant will find its way to us and I need that daily reminder too. We can’t just give ourselves to anybody to do with what they want but we also can’t isolate so much that our container remains sealed shut… 😕

I hope you readers can connect to my writings today as I haven’t delved deep in a while. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays upon us, maybe we need to re-examine our containers and see which serve as caring and which ones do not. Make these remaining weeks of 2025 matter warriors because like he said, never does it not matter…

***P.S. When I was getting frustrated leaf blowing a week or so ago in my HUGE container of a yard, I found a Bluejay feather on the sidewalk by my house. It was just the caring I needed… Quite possibly the last feather of the season… 💙🥹 The ❄️ is here…

The Ultimate Winding Road… 🌄⛰️🛣️

Hello my warriors! I’m coming to you all a day early today because of a few reasons. They both connect to this upcoming holiday here of Thanksgiving in the US. My “80’s wrestling the podcast” will be tomorrow instead of Thursday and that time is when I write. Sure, I can draft a piece and publish at a later date but honestly~~~ I would forget. I have never done that and really no true need. The other reason is some days my mornings are packed since walking the dog has to get done as well so shuffling this crazy tag team it is! It’s an ultimate winding road to end this month and then next week begins December. Wow… 😮 I do wish all my US readers a Happy Thanksgiving however you celebrate with loved ones. Some of you may have already started Christmas preparations but for me, that will be in a few more days. I have started some shopping though… 🛍️

Next up, the photo you see below. I know, I know, I know. I said how much I disliked AI images but that was referencing REAL doctored photos of UW or W by AI. The “cartoon” or artwork generated is OK and some are truly great. This one was posted by Warrior’s good friend Peter as were several others but I chose that creation. Rarely do I use art or even paintings by others but it’s time to get on that AI train I guess. Many are very close likenesses but real photos altered, I’m still not on board with. You can agree or not, totally up to you but always my opinion with MY writings. Another ultimate winding road of selecting photos every week. I tell ya warriors, I do much planning or research behind the scenes. Warrior always wanted to give credit to those so yes, I do the work too.

Here’s my 3️⃣ count today and was this another ultimate winding road for sure. I will say more like a winding path, but you get my point. I’ll explain. Recently, I received yet another email from a man (this time) who read my book “Spirit and Belief.” 📗 I want to believe he truly did. He also is a literary agent but at least was direct about it. I did respond as once again~~~ I’m not interested in re-branding my book or working with an agent. I have to share a few quotes and then other sentiments included in his email. I’ll start with this: “ … always inviting me to explore deeper corners of my own spirit.” Yes to this! He mentioned my “ reflections on faith and the unseen.” Another YES!!! Here’s a few more I edited: “ … guiding those who are willing to listen to the heartbeat of belief.” Another goodie…

Never once in every time anyone like a critic has ever contacted me have they mentioned Warrior by name or certain specific stories I shared. Nope, NEVER. All that is OK but then I ask what stories resonated with them. I do not receive responses back but at least I make my point. The woman I have referenced really * DID*bring up my spiritual relationship with Warrior, which had never also been sent my way. I was overwhelmed at something not common place to mainstream culture but then her book burning remarks turned me away! 🤬 Here’s a few more statements from Mr. Literary Agent: … “ it beckons the soul to lean closer” AND this final one of : “ Thank you for letting me wander these sacred spaces with you Kathy.” Sure….. Glad to help…. I love all those but he pours it on a little too thick with some other words on this road… er path as he states.

He compared my book to: “ a quiet forest at Dawn,” “ sunlight filtering through the branches,” AND “ soaring over mountains while “ resting by a still lake.”This isn’t a poetry reading class! I loved the lantern metaphor beckoning like a beam of light to doubters (as I paraphrased that one) and being a compass though. Beautifully said to a writer.. .✍🏻 What girl (especially) wouldn’t ❤️ all that prose of poetry describing a book written? Sorry, buddy though~~~ no sell. If I was a teacher and he was in my class, I’d ask him about *SPECIFICS* . Anyone can be those illuminating nature words but where’s my stories in all this? That part is always the missing piece for me as any writer will attest. I understand the need to put yourself out there for business but it’s all a little too much, do you agree? I mean, you aren’t trying to impress a girl to date me here, right? 🫤🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyways, I do LOVE words like that really I do but not in the way they are presented in such fashion. If people take the time to READ my book and want my business, then be honest and direct. Don’t entice me with romantic sounding expressions where I might give a resounding YES! 💞Oh, warriors what a winding path this month has ended upon. Be your OWN compass, lantern, or whatever you wish as you move through this world warriors. May you always listen to your OWN heartbeat of belief…

P.S. Happy “ Turkey” 🦃 day US friends! Eat and be merry!!! Oh, and if GENUINELY interested in my book, head on over to Amazon fans!

P.P.S. I would absolutely *MELT* if those words he used were in a romance novel!!! 🥰

What’s the Word? 🤭

***A quick mention first. Natayla Neidhart appeared at “The Wrestling Collector” store last night on the 18th, not on the weekend. Sorry, my bad! It was part of my PS last time.

There’s so many words to discuss today but 2️⃣ I need to say are THANK YOU! My numbers on the blog lately have been amazing! I never know how people just find it, look me up, or whatever but much gratitude to you ALL for finding these writings. I hope you continue reading if truly interested or it impacts you in someway. I’m grateful for you all and not just in this month of November. Keep reading loyal warriors. I haven’t seen numbers like that in a while, I am humbled always… 🥹

Another mention I forgot was Veterans Day last week which I’ve done a post on in the past. Warrior respected our vets and did much for them over the years. Just a random pic of him earlier in his WWF time today but I wanted to acknowledge. I have many veterans in my family as I thank them for their service to our great country. It was 11/11 so that is a great spiritual number. I am a master 11 in numerology if anyone follows that. Also, 11 years this year since Warrior’s passing so we have that connection. You don’t have to follow that spiritual path I am on as all numbers are great. Happy belated Veterans Day to any readers today as I thank you all for your service as well… 🇺🇸

So, let’s move onto other words, shall we? I did say I would share what happened with the “ Wrestling Families” podcast episode. The guys always teach me new things so they listed a few I had not thought. What was fun though was a little game we played. “ Family Feud” was my favorite game show for years and like wrestling, it still is around today! I chose the McMahon’s (although they were promoters first) but also for those 4️⃣ generations they embodied. According to a Google poll, they were listed as number 3️⃣ out of 10. Most of mine were on that list with a few others in the mix. Next week is that elusive G.O.A.T. topic. Well, actually tomorrow it will be. That is going to be a loooong episode for sure. I will say UW personally but I have a huge list on that so who knows what each caller will pick. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s some more words to share. Recently, a guy on X (or Twitter) commented on one of my posts in a nice way and of course I responded. He admired my “obsession” with Warrior but stated how he could tell there’s true affection. Yes, sir there is, but I did dismiss that word of obsession. I totally * CAN* relate how others feel that way with my writings though. I actually wrote a post on this comparing obsession with passion and the difference. Believe me readers~~~ I KNOW those who have obsessions but in the wrestling forum~~~ many share. Yes, merchandise is a business but then there are others who take it a little too far by my standards. They might not see anything wrong~ however, I can relate photos, videos, or stories shared through groups that are “ kooky.” I will not though. 🙄 That was one of Warriors’s words. I did thank him for reaching out and acknowledged his words. I have defended my actions on this topic but no need to anymore as I know much and it makes sense. Believe as you wish…

This last one concerns a song I have mentioned before. It’s “ Word-Up” by Cameo. Remember my story about changing those 6 letters into 7 to spell Warrior? I was a teenager then! They do spell in the song. Well, my life truly factors in. Just last week, I decided to reread a few older posts that were fun for me. “ Word-Up” was about being at a restaurant and hearing it along with a few other goodies. In high school, the seniors did a skit to that song and I totally remembered. During my workout that day of last week, I asked Alexa to play it so I could dance. I laughed as I’m sure Warrior was too. 😂

Later that evening, my husband and I decided to get sundaes at this ice cream shop I went to often as a kid. We still go there sometimes but it was the anniversary of when we first met. It just happened to be last Wednesday on blog day! We were waiting for our ice cream and they had music playing softly over the speakers. I could BARELY hear it, but then I did! Guess what? Yep, it was “ Word-Up!” Unbelievable… They don’t play that type of music in there. I just said “no way!” to myself over and over while hiding my giddiness from my husband on our special day. 😳 What would be those odds? I tell ya warriors~~~ I can’t make this stuff up. I couldn’t wait to laugh more when alone and just think how my dancing earlier started all that. You better believe I wrote that note down to add with today’s words… 🤣🤣

There ya have it readers. My words for today and boy, were they ultimate! Oh, one more thing. Before going to the ice cream shop, my right ear started ringing. Could that have been a sign??? I do get those kinds of messages, so not entirely sure. I always believe of course. I respond and just say “ thank you for visiting me, whoever you are.” Often I think about what was just happening but this was a future event. Always is it a positive when that occurs so perhaps the universe or Warrior was giving me an “inside scoop?” Pun intended. ~~~ I will connect next week but it might be a few days before the Thanksgiving holiday here~~~ we’ll see. Thank you for reading as I hope to brighten your day. Make words your passion as they truly are mine on here. Before I end, go get some ice cream with hot fudge! You can work it off tomorrow. 🍧🍨😋

Back to the Mat 🤼💪🏻

Hey there, warriors! I am back with some wrestling news for this one. Not always my favorite topic so much anymore, but I share to stay in the loop or even just to have my own point of view. We all need that, right? First off, that pic today is from one of the many ol’ WWF commercials that aired back in the day. This one was from 1990 when UW was champ. I had never used one so yet another that came to mind. Yeah, I know it’s a little blurry but super hard to capture an action shot.

So, the first HOF inductee of the WWE this year is Stephanie McMahon. I think it was kinda early to announce someone already but that news broke a month or so ago. Guess I forgot to post about it so here it comes today. I do believe she deserves it but here’s my POV. With her husband Triple H just receiving that honor last year, it seems a little too close together. Maybe that was their plan. Maybe they wanted to induct her last year but because of the scandal with Vince, they switched to him~~~ who knows? Vince should be there for his daughter so we shall see what happens. Who will induct her? I believe it should be a female opponent of hers years ago, just my thought. It shouldn’t be Triple H, she didn’t induct him. Undertaker is an idea, but he inducted his wife last year even though he does seem to be everywhere… 😯 Time will tell on it all, but she should be in. The only McMahon that might possibly ever be…

Now, we’ll move onto John Cena as I’ve been following the end of his career just a bit like I had said. So, there’s going to be a tournament to see who his final opponent will be. Wow. Has that ever happened before? He has been with the business over 20 years but not consecutively as is the case with many popular performers nowadays. He’s had a reality show and is a big movie star along with his own show “Peacemaker” on HBO. I’m so glad he will not end as a heel, at least I hope not. They might bring back a few of his past opponents from years ago which would make it interesting. It all happens mid December. Let’s just hope he doesn’t pull a Tom Brady and come back out of retirement a year or so later! 🙄 My guess is a no what with all the other WWE programming available nowadays. John can have his own podcast, cohost another show, or whatever. He did write a book and cohosts the obstacle reality show “Wipeout” so the future is bright for him. He’s still so young.

It’s my turn now, yay! I will G.L.O.W. for a minute here. Last weeks “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” was all about that big Vegas showgirl venue of highlighting those Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Any readers remember it airing from ‘86 to ‘90? Of course I had to call in as it was pretty exciting to talk about more women for a change. The guy caller before me even was interested in what I had to say~~~ from my perspective so I had to bring my A game for sure.

I spoke for almost 10 minutes and wanted to remember much from memory instead of googling. I eventually did look up a few performers and watched one match with my favorite- Americana. 🇺🇸 I had others, but she was my girl., Ah, the memories and it was a great episode listening to all the other callers. They asked me to pick a topic for next week! What pressure. I DID before the show ended so they’ll expect a call from me again. it will be all about “ Wrestling Families.” You can say dynasties too, but not the Heenan family! My idea is several members who wrestled related by blood. OK, we do have a few parent child combos but I’m looking for at least three in a family. Here are a few I thought of : The McMahon’s, – (of course) The Hart’s, The Poffo’s , The Roberts’s, the Rhodes’s, The Funks’s, The Von Erich’s, and the Anoai family. Some are still quite active in the business, but some have hung up the boots or passed on. So many criteria to choose a favorite so I’ll be waiting to see how the guys do with that topic.

Well, I guess that makes yet another 3️⃣ count for you all today. Stephanie McMahon, John Cena, and G.L.O.W. What a combo. I hope you readers enjoyed and we’ll see what next week brings. I will let you know what the group explored on the podcast all about wrestling families so stay tuned for that! Oh, and a few guys added these comments regarding G.L.O.W. It did have similarities with “ Hee-Haw” in some country type of segments so Minnie Pearl would’ve been great guest starring in some role. What a hoot to have seen that! Also, someone suggested Sherri Martel being on G.L.O.W. I think she also could’ve pulled that off whether she was “sensational” or “scary.” I totally agreed with both.

If anyone is ever interested or are fans of wrestling, please check them out if you can. It isn’t all 80s all the time either as they have covered way back and even to today’s world of the current WWE talent. I listen with the free Podbean app live most of the time since I’m home. It airs 10 AM, Thursdays, ET or you can find replays. They have a great group and I’m usually the only girl caller. The hosts are very friendly and Tommy Fierro is pretty famous himself. He owns ISPW in New Jersey and has been in the business since he was 17! His store is called “The Wrestling Collector” in New Jersey. If in the area, check it out as I have mentioned it before. He has tons of merch and *LOTS* of things wrestling related. It’s so super cool! They do have a website also… Tommy does 80s and 90s wrestle cons every year with huge turnouts and he also has another local podcast. The other cohost is Jumpin’ Jay and he is a fun guy too who primarily runs the show. Such a great time always.

I will connect with you all next week so enjoy whatever your day brings. Plus, they might do an action figure merchandise episode soon similar to that commercial below. I’ll have to share the story of how my UW figure came to be. I only have one ya know, and that story has been shared and is in my book! 📗 I’ll meet you here back on the mat for my Wednesday writings… 🙋🏻‍♀️🫵🏻

P.S. I just thought of this to add. Tommy and Jay are always so complementary of me every time I call. It’s so heartwarming 🥹 to hear. They want me to call in more often and they say how I know more than I let on. It is true, but if I talked, I would talk forever! 😂😂😂

*** Nattie Neidhart will be signing her new book at Tommy’s store this weekend!

Spiritual Salon Stories 🧡✂️🤍

We are here in this 11th month warriors so happy November! 2025 is almost done, how can that be? The holidays will be in full swing as Thanksgiving approaches for me here in the US. I hope all of you are doing well as you join me today for a few more great stories but first about that pic ⬇️ below . Yes, lately a few are just random that I got from IG but don’t y’all just love seeing Warrior sign those WMVI trunks at an event? He looks so happy and it’s a great shot of him. I’m grateful to whoever took that photo, it’s pretty ultimate. 🥰

So, I am back to bringing some personal experiences but I love those and I hope you gain a little perspective on them in someway. I had mentioned my Hair Salon a few times over the years but today, it’s about the new hairdresser and our similarities. Once more, I meet a woman who like my previous stylist~~~ is spiritual in many aspects. She also works as a massage therapist so I will have to check out that space soon! I guess once some conversations start, we get on a roll and then the match begins. It is amazing and I’m so glad my transition with her has been going well after what happened with the previous stylist. I have been to see her twice now and wow~~~ 😯 such great insights on both ends. Sometimes, I feel like what I do doesn’t matter much or is not making a difference and then I get the validation I need. It truly is a beautiful thing as I wish the same for all of you on your journeys in life.

OK, so yes~~~ she works with crystals and also sages which are things in common with me. We shared a little but then she told me how alone she feels with her practices. Her kids think she’s a witch 🧙 but I told her how we are good witches. She doesn’t like that term as I understand. We don’t know how these words got so twisted around into the negative as most began positively. Other religious cultures changed and evolved overtime but that’s how it started as was easier to believe. Hollywood and the movies took over because really, most everyone loves the scary. This is not a post Halloween message as unfortunately it is true. The good stuff bores folks. Think about it here.

What always comes to mind is aliens. 👽 No, I am not getting off track but I totally can for sure. The only good alien movie is ET. Correct me if I’m wrong. Yes, there are good witch movies too but we need that antagonist always. I have to say this just to add. Glinda in “ The Wizard of Oz” was my favorite character, but Glinda in “ Wicked?” Not so much. I get why they had to make her that way in the modern version but nope, I’ve known too many girls like that. I do love her beginnings though when she truly was a friend to Elphie. I just don’t like all the “popular” vanity stuff. We all are a little vain but some are just too much like Glinda in this modern Wicked movie. I was BORN to love the color PINK 🩷 but my personality echoes Elphaba. No, not being “wicked” but the not fitting in or being different part. I guess I have both! Oh, I’ve always liked green though. It’s on my book cover. I will be seeing “ Wicked for Good” in the theater soon.💚🖤

Back to my stylist here. She went out to say how she was very happy to get matched with me and gave me her number. I was honored how she felt that bond with me enough to share and then listen. I offered hope and compassion as I have been there where she is and still am at times. After a few moments of conversing, she then said this: “ I sense a strong male spirit energy around you.” I will let that sink in for a moment as I need to preface it a little. With this time of year, I do some ancestral work close to the holidays and have been wondering if anyone in my bloodline or DNA ever did this path or felt the same way? I’ve been asking for a feminine guide as more women I believe did certain practices (like “witches”) than men, but who knows? We hear more about the women but in many indigenous cultures~~~ the elders, men, or shamans originated in those rules.

I had shared a little of my request to her but then instead of possibly sensing a woman, she sensed a masculine spirit. So, readers~~~ who do you think I could’ve felt around me? No, I’m not thinking of Warrior at the Hair Salon BUT based on some topics we discussed~~~ it was highly likely. Do I think he wants to hang out there? A no again on this. It might not be the actual, physical place as it’s the words and thoughts that lineup energy. She told me after a bit how truly wonderful my gifts are as I was humbled to receive that compliment. 🥹 Did I believe Warrior’s energy was there with us? For a second I doubted it but then I always believe. I don’t think he’s always at a gym working out either… There are other “places” to be! 😂😂 I do have my own personal ways of trusting and it’s hard to share with you all as you probably know by now. I’m so very sorry but you can infer based on my past posts. I am not naïve and do not just believe in what I think is true. I was a BIG skeptic and doubter for sure but now I know more. They wanna have fun with us where we are!

It’s a great feeling when we are visited by those in spirit (of the good energy) even at some unpredictable moments. Remember years ago when I heard the same song 3️⃣ times in a week and one was at the Hair Salon for a 3️⃣ count? Yep, good vibes there I guess but they know what works for me. Believe as you wish warriors… If you think it’s kooky, well~~~ you’re entitled to that of course. If you have been through what I have, you just might feel another way… 🤷🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

So, those are my stories today. Enjoy your day and bundle up if you were getting the colder weather like us here. Not too bad yet but more is on its way. Go get your hair done, it always works like *MAGIC* for me. 💫🔮

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… 💙💪🏻🙏🏻

Before You RUN! 🏃🏻‍♂️🫵🏻

I’m bringing lots to the arena today so let’s begin with that photo below. It has circulated plenty as I believe it to be a Polaroid taken around the time when those Wrestling Buddy dolls first came out. I had heard how thrilled he was to be part of that as I would be too. There are many others of Warrior posing with that UW doll at events, but *THAT* pic is yet another which appeared in my mind one day. I don’t question~~~ I just try my best in locating it somewhere in media. I knew he had a pink shirt on so scrolling I did. 2 weeks in a row with some pink, I love it! 🩷 After 9 years, new pics come forward.

OK, so before you “run”… to go get that autograph with that famous person~~~ read my post today. I have dabbled in this but listened to something recently that pulled it more into the ring. This isn’t a venting post again, but merely more of an observational one. All right, may be a little venting as just common sense really. I still have questions about the boy who Warrior had to make that awkward “apology video” 🙄 for as it is still widely discussed unfortunately. UGH!!!!! 😩 That’s just part of the story today. Let’s take the actor Ryan Gosling. I’m sure you all have heard of him. He relates a story as a young boy~~~ (maybe you know it) wanting his favorites (UW‘s) autograph. After nicely asking, Warrior said no and from then on~~~ Ryan ripped up his pic and probably always thought of Warrior as a piece of sh*t. If only he could’ve met Warrior again later on, I’m sure much more would’ve been explained…

I’m explaining what I feel is MORE on this topic today. BTW, I wrote this last week before it was brought up AGAIN in a Facebook post so NO~~~ I am not copying those words.

Here’s my concerns… First off, when parents or guardians are in the area with their child (ren) who want their “ hero’s” autograph, things should be discussed with them PRIOR to the kid just running off in a way. How many grown-ups prep that child beforehand on the possibility of their hero saying no to them? I bet not too many. They assume the celebrity will always comply. I’m a parent and want my kids happy of course but disappointments are part of life and we can’t always have things the way we want. Some parents or adults do not discuss this with kids in these possible situations. Maybe there are various reasons why as I am not in their position nor have I been, but a quick convo should always be had about this when running off for that most desired autograph.

There’s so many reasons also as to why that celebrity may say no and it’s not because they are a piece of sh*t either. Think about it in reverse. I would (sorry readers) probably be like UW only without possible profanity. Just seeing fans “randomly” in airports, restaurants, or on the street is extremely challenging and unless it is a scheduled event~~~ the answer could be a no, maybe even from me. You yourself as that famous person are very busy having a somewhat normal life for those extra minutes and sometimes, it isn’t feasible stopping to autograph.

I realize it takes a few seconds of time, but then others could come your way after that first person and on and on. Warrior was introverted so that part of fame was hard for him. DO NOT tell me that he was the only wrestler to ever turn down kids because I don’t buy that for a millisecond. People just bash him because of their dislike as his stories took center stage, unlike others. I personally would never run up to a celebrity if I saw one and ask for an autograph, I just wouldn’t. I know better. Yes, I have seen a few local ones in my area from sports teams but I’ve left them alone. Why? Because they are people too. Some love that attention and crave it and that’s OK. I would just feel too intimidated doing so. Just to see them would be a thrill and I wouldn’t regret not getting that autograph. Others will disagree as expected, but this is just my opinion on here.

I compare this a little to a “pop in.” I think this works as it was a topic at my house lately. Who likes the pop in when people come over uninvited or even not announced beforehand? Maybe you are fine with it and don’t mind but me? Nope, don’t like it and never did. Virgos need to plan and I wouldn’t pop in on someone so I don’t want it done to me. Never do I tell close family to just stop over if I’m home. I have things to do despite not going to that 9-to-5 job and then would have to rearrange my schedule, even if it’s a shower or~~~ I dunno~~~ writing this blog! Do you see where I am “running” with this? If you love pop-ins, that’s great for you but they are not for me. I would not even overwhelm my kids after school when little as I let them be for a bit. We all need downtime, alone time, or whatever you want to call it, even the famous.

It’s so much more than just “running” to get that autograph without putting other practices in place first. I’m not sure if adults just overlook those kinds of things or people become spontaneous when they shouldn’t be. I realize it can be a once in a lifetime opportunity but still so difficult… 😞 That “hero” of yours is not a bad person for turning you down but as a child you WILL think so unless otherwise told by an adult. I just wish more people would understand this before getting their kids hopes up and then slamming them to the mat. We can’t say yes to everything and everyone all the time, it just isn’t feasible. Life is filled with NO’s , but when children~~~ we need adults to soften that blow so we don’t grow up resenting that past NO we can’t seem to ever forget.

So, to any parents reading~~~ take heart of what I have written today. My kids were never in those positions of Ryan Gosling or even that “apology video” boy plus countless others over the years. Let’s be the role models our kids need and deserve… 🫤

P.S. I realize Warrior’s responses could’ve been a bit “nicer” by some standards as that would’ve helped, BUT he still had the right to say no. Just not right now… maybe later. Next time, yeah… those are better words… 🤷🏻‍♀️

What’s Your SuperPower? 🩷💪🏻🫵🏻

Yes, superpowers it is today so no more venting! Before sharing that~~~ a few things first. Today marks 11.5 years since Warrior left, but also the 11th of my story titled : “ The Box.” It has been shared several times and is in my book. Hard for me to still believe Warrior gave me that message *EXACTLY* 6 months after he passed, but he did. Such a treasure for me always remembered… 🥹💙 The last thing to mention is the photo below. ⬇️ None of Warrior, none of me but a great reminder to us all. Yes, I realize it’s kind of girly but I am a girl so be it. Plus, pink is my fave color! I’m sure you can guess why I used it. Find the word that connects… I love when my cousin thinks of me and sends beautiful photos like those. The one which remained a struggle for me~~~ but I am better at is worthy. How about you? Always believe in them all about yourself!

Now, onto those superpowers! I think this topic has been discussed a little but mainly more about the word superhero. I’m having FUN with this one today. Fans of UW may recall him having “superhuman strength…” ~ thanks, Tony Schiavone. He did have a few other qualities in that area like speed, a disguise, and perhaps being connected to those gods above. I thought of this because just recently my husband and I were having a discussion in the car for some reason. There’s so many to choose from besides those of UW’s. How about being invisible, flying, shape shifting (morphing into maybe another or animal,) becoming bigger or smaller, having x-ray vision, and perhaps breathing underwater. You can also use tools like a special suit, glasses, a belt, weapon, lasso, cape, web or anything else those superheroes had. 🦸🏻🦹🏼‍♀️🕸️🧜🏼‍♂️

I know there are lots more you can consider or even make up your own. Here’s a couple to contemplate on that. How about eating or drinking anything without gaining an ounce. Remember me saying that around my birthday? Another could be never growing old or aging. You readers know the movie “ Death Becomes Her?” Well, it would be like that only of course taking care of your body unlike the two ladies did. Another movie I loved! You would never need a doctor for anything, how about that? We know that is not physically possible but come on~~~neither are those other choices.

So, what would yours be? One from my list above or one of your own choosing? Mine has remained the same for a long time when I get asked this question. The eating/drinking one is a close second. Any guesses? I know it’s a long list and super hard but quite easy for me. Mine is FLYING. If you had that superpower, there would be no reason to be afraid of heights right? Also, if loyal readers can search their memory bank~~~it’s Kathy and the birds with all my stuff over the years. Only natural I’d pick that then! Some I would not choose like being invisible. It may sound appealing but when thinking about it, you might “see” something you don’t want to or shouldn’t. Always pros and cons to everything so that’s why we leave it up to Marvel, DC Comics, and others to create those legendary characters for us to fantasize being. Can’t forget the movies too, of course!

It’s a great time of year to pretend make-believe with Halloween coming this month, isn’t it? I bet you have your favorites too Certain superheroes use certain methods of defense, protection, and being of service. My faves are Thor, Iron Man, and Aquaman (or is it just the guys who play them…. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I dunno… 🤭). Seriously though, we need to remember to use our own devices every day for the greater good and not evil. Don’t be the villain in this convo today. We can use our talents to help but not to abuse. Don’t be like Bruce Nolan with God‘s powers either in the movie: “ Bruce Almighty.” Oh, that movie and my memories… 😳🫣3 scenes stand out for me personally, but only one got mention as a goodie in my book…. Now, back to those other powers of good.

Don’t we all wish we could save the world and make everyone happy? If only right? But then, we wouldn’t have our journeys and never learn the lessons we came here to learn. It’d be cool to be a superhero for just a day and use a superpower or device to better the planet for sure. We can, but just on a much smaller scale little by little. We always want to try our very best even though it might not be good enough for all. Nobody can snap their fingers and make everything perfect and really~~~as humans it isn’t impossible. The truth is we already are perfect just as we are plus all those words listed below. We all are superheroes moving about our daily lives doing what we can, when we can. Our tools are always within us like intuition or that gut instinct Warrior frequently referenced.

We can imagine a superpower like these today but ours go deeper than physical strength, a disguise, or even flying like my pick. It’s our imagination, insight, and of course intuition that takes us on this ride when we are here. It may not sound like much but once you tap into them, they can be the best powers you will ever know. Your existence alone is enough to be the superpower you need to access anything. Recognize that for yourself. After all, it’s what superheroes do~~~ like warriors…

P.S. “ Bruce Almighty” is another one of those movies that I totally had no idea why I liked it so much with the themes of others mentioned in the past. My, my, my.
