Hey guys! So I'm sitting in the airport awaiting my flight to Long Island, NY and I can't wait. I was thinking about how much all of your kind words and encouragement have truly meant to me. Soooooo.....I just thought I'd take a quick second before I left to say thank you - thank you from the bottom of my heart!
It's going to be a hard, fought battle I am sure...... but a battle I have never been so excited to embark upon! Win, lose or draw..history will be made.
Remember it's not about the destination..it's about the journey you took getting there. I have worked, sweat, and bled for this very moment - a chance to call myself a champion! Again, thanks a million. I love you all!!!
Faith to fight the good fight, heart to believe and soul to search within!
It's exactly what the title read. I hope you find these as inspiring as I did. Enjoy and keep the faith! Love you all.....It's time for me to now go bask in a hot bubble bath (my favorite)! :)
"Life is what happens while you're making plans!"
"True friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. Family is everything. "
"Small minds talk about people; mediocre minds talk about events; great minds talk about ideas."
"Life is a balance between holding on and letting go."
"I admit it's tempting to wish for the perfect boss - the perfect parent - or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been dealt, and accessorize what we've got."
"If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting **** and demand something more."
"Some people are settling down. Some people are settling, and some refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies."
"The secret to living the life of your dreams is to start the life of your dreams, at once, to any degree that you possibly can.
Just do it. Everything you need to know, you know, and everything you need to have, you have... Everything!"
"As powerful as you are, whose day are you going to make today?"
"Everything matters."
"Follow your heart, delight in your preferences. Approve of yourself. Stake your claim, demand it, and hold out your hands."
"Never compromise a dream. Do what you must. The fears, beasts and mountains before you are part of the plan; stepping-stones to a promised land; to a time and place that is so much closer than you even suspect. Don't let your eyes deceive, for even as you read these words, your ship swiftly approaches."
"Of all the people, in all the world, not a single one of them... is more precious, loved and deserving than you."
"You are creation's first and last chance... to be you. Just as you are today. That's all you have to be. Bask. It's more than enough."
"Always do what you can. Because once you at least do what you can, no matter how seemingly insignificant, everything changes."
Hey guys....I know, I know and I am soooooo sorry! It's been awhile since we last chatted. I've actually been trying to rest by extremely sore back, compliments of the suplex I took on the mat outside the ring last week....which brings me to my first topic :)
The Great American Bash.....I can't tell you how excited, how happy, how thankful, how anxious, how psyched and how READY I am to face Natalya at the Great American Bash. Since the night she debuted (and attacked me from BEHIND I might add), she has tried to make my life as horrible as humanly possible. I'd have to say that Vickie didn't make it any easier.
In any event, it's about rising above, right? Overcoming obstacles, facing fear with determination, staying focused and positive and giving every obstacle your absolute all...and that's what I've done! I've left my blood, sweat and tears out there every single week to prove to Natalya, to prove to myself and to try and prove to each and every one of you that I belong in that ring Sunday night. Win, lose or draw.....I will be a part of history in the making.
One of us will be the first ever Divas Championship this Sunday night (just typing that gave me chills)!!!! I can only hope and pray that I am that lucky someone! One thing is for sure.....this is the biggest match of my career thus far - a chance to wear gold around my waist :)) and I promise I've got more HEART than she could ever imagine!!!! Oh...and thank you sooooooo much for all of you that have left such sweet messages and good luck notes - they mean more than you know.
Onto a lighter subject....believe it or not, I try to read ALL of my messages and comments (on pictures too). Alot of you have been confused on a couple things so I thought I'd just clear it up for fun right here.
*The pictures with the kids are all McCool kids'...just not this McCool! :) They are the children of two of my cousins! I just try to steal and spoil them as much as possible! :)
* YES I did kill that gator and am very proud of it :)
*The "random" guy (that made me laugh whoever wrote that) in the friends picture from back home is one of my best friends from forever ago!
Loving life.....you know, we can't always make everyone happy and not everyone can always make us happy! But we should always remember the people and places that do make us happy. My job and the benefits that come along with it (make a wish, tv shows, visiting the troops, etc...) make me happy. When I'm away from my job, I am blessed to have many family and friends that make me happy! So, just remember....if you have a loved one who is sick, a friend you haven't talked to in awhile, a game you haven't played or a dream you've only dreamed....get out there and take the time to do all of these things because these are the memories you are going to remember. I know I've said it before, but you find a true joy within yourself when you make others smile!
I hope all of you have had an amazing week. Until next time...
FAITH to fight the good fight, HEART to believe and SOUL to search within!
So I've been thinking.....I love getting the fan feedback, ideas, comments, suggestions, etc....so I thought I'd come straight to the source.
What do you guys want? What do you want to see? What type of "look" do you guys like when I take my pictures? What type of feud would you like to see?
Do you have any suggestions as to a weekly fan thing we can do here on fan nation?
It's hard to go through each individual email so I'm trying to come up with a way to make this a little more interactive and give you guys exactly what you want. Sometimes I'm creative and sometimes I'm not...right now I'm not :) which is why I need your help! I'm going to be checking bag on this blog to see what all of you have to say so make sure you respond/comment here (that way I know where to look)....I can't wait to hear from all of you. Take care, keep smiling, and remember.....faith to fight the good fight, heart to believe and soul to search within.
Hey guys! Well, it's Saturday morning and the draft has once again made its annual impact on all three brands. There were definitely some big changes that came out of it. I think the biggest surprise was actually good ole' JR! I mean, who would have ever thought it? I think, judging by the looks on 99% of the draftees' faces, there were some VERY unexpected changes!
There weren't too many changes with the Divas, but who truly knows if there's more to come or not (believe me.....we never know what to expect)? Smackdown got Maria which is a very welcome addition. Anyhow, I guess it just means it's back to getting down to business and trying to impress Vickie any chance I get! I'm open for suggestions... :) She's not the easiest to make happy, ya know?
Well, I'm going to go for now. I posted a couple new pictures...take a look and hope you enjoy! I'll be getting back with you guys later tonight! Keep the faith....mm
