It’s December 15th, 2024; We’ve got a new original song for you today. If I had you now is sung by Doug Stokes. This original song was recorded by Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-fiftieth new music post for 2024! This is part love song and part ‘missing you’ song. When Richard wrote this, I can imagine he was longing for someone true in his life. I’m glad he eventually found me!

If I had you now. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

I often read articles I disagree with

I challenge myself as part of my daily process (and practice what I preach and teach in Integrating the Spirals), by reading blog articles, or other media on topics or perspectives that differ from mine. Case in point, at first glance I disagreed with the following article, but after reading it, I sat with this blogger’s perspective and appreciated their insights and information. There are myriad points within the article that make sense to me (I’ve never agreed with having Christmas trees on church altars, and I do believe a LOT of people fall for the over-commercialism of the holiday). However, the overall philosophy presented here differs from mine–because I view our Creator (or the Dao) as Limitless Omniscience. But folks, reading material like THIS, is how we broaden our perspectives and expand our consciousness! We must coexist! 

I challenge my beliefs every single day. Not because I aim to be perfect but because I always (in ALL ways) want to make virtuous progress while enjoying the journey and Connecting. I’m human. I’m real. I strive for transparency and forthrightness, but I am fallible. Nobody’s ‘Perfect.’ I’m probably not ‘rightly dividing the word of God’ when I read the scriptures, but then again, which version of the Bible are you (and this blog article’s author) reading? (Hint: I don’t just read one version.)

Boundaries? Okay. But be flexible too!

Last night, my daughter came over and though I had our door locked (which is always my cue that we’re in bed), my slippers were at the foot of our stairs (my cue to my husband that I’m upstairs in the sauna and not to be disturbed), I had not fully communicated these two cues to my daughter–and it was sort of an emergency. She needed me, her mom, to listen and give her some emotional support. So, she knocked on the door. Richard was in the kitchen but heard her and went to the door to let her in. She asked where I was and he told her, “Upstairs.” So, up she came but stopped at the closed door upstairs and asked me, “Are you in or out of the sauna?” I was just getting in and had just set my phone up to play some new songs I had wanted to listen to by blogger/songwriter cookie nieves

I got into the sauna and then welcomed my daughter to come into the room. She visited for my entire sauna session. When I was done, I invited her to meet me downstairs (so I could get dressed). She stayed another couple of hours and we ended with big hugs. My ‘Mom job’ was done. Though I didn’t get to relax to cookie’s songs as I’d planned. I know there’s no rush, but I had literally just sent a comment to cookie that I was going to listen. Best laid plans, right? 

My daughter and I had a wonderful visit though, and I did a little EFT for her too (she’s still not interested in learning/using it for herself though). And that’s okay. We each learn at differing rates of speed and along the path of the spiral, it’s ALL good.

Doing my part to support RFK Jr

I filled out a form, added a couple of personal sentiments/sentences in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s behalf and believing he will be appointed to HHS Secretary.

Screen capture: Email received after I filled and sent in my form letter in support of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. –You can do your part too (yes, every voice and signature matters!) by filling in the form if you live in New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont, South Dakota, or Alaska.

Everything happens for a reason and myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), spiraling consciousness,

  2. I wanted to get here early for once!
    Yea I try to be open minded and read other peoples theories or views. Everyone is different and sometimes it depends on where they are in life and where they came from. Do they live in a huge city? Do they live in a rural area? I may not agree but it’s always good to hear other opinions…
