Integrating the Spirals: Happy New Year!

So, here we are, in a brand spanking new year! Woo-hoo! I sure hope 2026 brings all of us health, wealth, and wisdom! I’m considering doing a book tour for my 5th book, We Are All Connected. I’m planning on renting a car this spring or summer and taking Richard to Kentucky (with stops in Pennsylvania to visit a cousin and a friend, and in West Virginia to see family and friends), so we COULD stop in at a few bookstores or such and see if I can drum up some support for the book. I’ll be reaching out to a few of you for advice on how to best go about that. Plus, I’ve got some wonderful marketing lined up… a big name has offered to share my information and book link out to his massive email list!! More on that as we get nearer to the time of release.

We’re doing much better this winter than we did during our first winter in New England. We aren’t even using our electric blanket on the bed! And Richard loves our new red light therapy device too–yes, believe it or not, he’s using it! Here’s the link if you’d like to check these out: Red Therapy Co

Speaking of the temperatures, I thought it was curious that the very day 3I/Atlas was nearest to earth (Dec. 19th 2025), it was the warmest day of the winter here in NH and in much of the northern USA! Wow! Go figure.

I’m going through my 2025 calendar and I’m fairly surprised at how productive I was!

I took several art classes (I loved the clay and etchings classes the most and want to do more); I had lots of Zoom calls (with Michael of Peaceful Rampage, with my Theosophy book club (twice a month), and once monthly with Dr. Bruce Lipton and commUnity, with IONS, Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI), Lazarus Initiative, Shared Crossing Project, and most recently Herbal Cottage (friends in Cocoa Beach, Florida run that; as one of their first 100 members I’m in for free for herb classes, which I very much appreciate–we use the Skool app for that, but it’s been an easy learning curve for me). I pay an annual fee for a few of these groups. Few are free.

I also bought live access to a 3-Day consciousness conference–it was the first time I’d done this. Our dear Bruce was a headliner and I love Gregg Braden and Anita Moorjani as well, so it was a no brainer. Here’s my previous article about it: https://sheilamurrey.net/2025/04/22/thrive-in-25-expanding-consciousness-via-3-day-livestream-conference/

Early in the year, I was certain I could clear the tinnitus I’ve had and went for quite a few health treatments such as Reflexology, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and worked with a couple Energy Medicine type practitioners–one was in person and local to me (she did a different type of craniosacral therapy on me) and another lady offered more of what turned out to be talk therapy and breathwork via Zoom. The lady via Zoom was actually more expensive than the in-person gal, so I opted out of her sessions and if I need more treatments, I will go for in-person treatments since at least, they are hands on and there’s so much to be said energetically, for that.

I still experience tinnitus. I have tried many things, including Qi Coil and now, the red light therapy. The red light has made some small bit of change in pitch of the buzzing/whirring I experience, and the Qi Coil (when I’m running the ‘clear auditory tubes’ at night when we’re in bed) has been best at completely eliminating the noise, but sadly, the noise returns as soon as I turn the Qi Coil off.

My daughter and I took a line dance class at our local Opera House–we’d went more just to have a girls night out though and didn’t realize it would be so much of a ‘class.’ Months later, we took two of the granddaughters (one was sick and couldn’t go) back to the Opera House (we all walked to/from there) and enjoyed a Christmas show with dancing and photo opportunities with Santa and Mrs. Claus. We all enjoyed that. The girls got to meet some K-Pop Demon Hunters gals in costume and were thrilled with that too!

I went trick-or treating with the family too and had a blast, though yes, it was cold and I was freezing! Next time, I’ll bundle better and take a thermos of hot tea or such. Some neighbors offered us warm cider but I don’t always do well with that and didn’t know how much longer we’d be walking. The joys of being an old person. LOL Ugh.

As a family this year, we went to an indoor flea market and that was fun. I found some Avon Nativity collectable pieces I’d been missing, so I bought those and I’ve been enjoying seeing a full Nativity on our bookshelf this Christmas season.

We also celebrated our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding anniversary by going to Loon Mountain in the White Mountains region and rode the gondola. That was a blast! I overdid the hiking though and almost got stuck trying to go to the cave. Thankfully, I made it back up the mountain unassisted–though my son-in-law had came looking for me when all three of the granddaughters had came back to the picnic area, sans grandma! Ha!

We also had a great time at the annual Pumpkin festival. We didn’t get to the speedway for the Christmas lights though (as we did last winter), because at one time or another one of the girls, our daughter, or son-in-law were sick. Oh well! Hopefully, we’ll get to go next winter!

I began songwriting on Suno AI nearly a year ago (on January 16, 2025) to be exact.

We’ve cleaned up our diet a bit and a few months ago I gave up hard liquor. I still have a bit of wine or sake, but I’m almost ready to let that go too. We buy two bottles of Koso per month–it’s a fermented pre and probiotic from Japan that we found out about on a YouTube video vlog. It was my first substitute for my evening cocktail. Now, I am finding it too sweet too. Richard still likes it though and has continued to order it. He takes a shot of it with his breakfast every other day.

Speaking of Richard, we hosted his sister and her husband here for a few days during their birthday time in August. Yes, they share a birth date–though they are many years apart. My uncle has the same birth date too. I’ve always found that kind of synchronicity fascinating.

I started drinking a pint and a half of lemon-lime herbal infused mineral water daily. As well as a protein drink each day to which I add rose hips and sea buckthorn powder. My theory is that by increasing my nutrition, the less I’ll eat overall and lose some of this lard. I have released about 10 pounds in the last six months and am down one pants size. So yay ME! I think Jiggle Butt has something to do with that weight loss as well.

And my JIGGLE BUTT videos have been going really well. I’ve stayed accountable to doing my dancing every day (even when I have had sore knees or back) and I’m up to 149 subscribers as of today! I want to get my YouTube channel monetized at some point, better this year than next! Even if I make a few dollars a month, it would help. Living on Social Security, even without owning anything, is not for the faint of heart, especially when one wants to go and do with grandchildren.

Warren Buffet Goal list 2025 accomplishments

My numerology Life Path is a #5. If you’re into such things, you can look that up. Accomplishments seem important for me, which is probably why I am always, “busy, busy, busy” to quote my dearly departed dad who told me that every time he used to call me.

I had a short TO DO List though for 2025 of goals to achieve for the year. And I nearly completed each one. One goal was to finish my 5th book–and I very nearly have! I’m in editing mode now. 

I had wanted to visit WV and OH for my 45th HS reunion and I did, though I got sick three hours before the main event and missed it! I know. I was pissed about that too. But I did get to see the most important people to me while on that trip, so there’s that.

I also got to Salem, Massachusetts to experience the witchy city and meet up with dear friend Jennifer Carey (whom I’d met years ago in Florida and did the Breakthrough program with). Her husband has read my manuscript for We Are All Connected and given me wonderful feedback on it already too! Do you sense the circular impact here?

Currently, or most recently

I happened upon a video post from Sly Stallone on Facebook today and I watched it with great intent! I shared it publicly on my Facebook page too. It was THAT good! I made a lengthy comment to Sly in case he (or someone in his family) might see it. I really respect him and it helped to see him sitting in front of a huge binder of HAND WRITTEN pages–he completed his memoir. He’s calling his book, The Steps. We can probably imagine why too (for the steps he used to run up/down in Philadelphia when he was training… and that were shown in the film, Rocky).

We also watched a YouTube (that was probably all done on AI) the other night and it was such a good story (from Clint Eastwood) that I teared up. Here it is if you like him. With my background in Aviation and Aerospace it hit close to home for me: https://youtu.be/EDafHdy9Xpw?si=pD43O2H1nQWH7uqR

We’re now watching season 4 of the TV series, Justified. I have asked dear hubby to write a funk-a-billy song for me to dance to now. Haha! It seems I’m getting more channel growth (more subscribers) on YouTube because of my smile and enthusiasm for what I’m doing. I wish I’d get more comments about the songs though, as that and getting more movement into my day were my initial motivations for doing the videos, but alas, one never knows what the public will get out of anything, why they’ll like it, or if they’ll stick around. Fame is fleeting. And I’m not in it for fame, thank God.

Here’s a few recent photos and links to the blog posts I wrote earlier in the year that stand out to me as I scroll through my monthly archives:

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!
