Empaths are sponges and until we learn that we can either build boundaries to not absorb what we don’t want, yet, OR we come to know that EVERYTHING works FOR our good, either to grow us or glow us like a slow burn candle… well then, we may FEEL too much (too much emotions), or react inappropriately and turn others off. And when we turn others off, it may take us YEARS (if ever), to reestablish those relationships–whether friend or family, such as when adult children cut off their parents because their parents have come on too strong (even if the parents think they’re good intentioned). Ah!

I’ve been learning a lot while reading all three of the following books (at the same time, I rotate them on a daily basis, and study (not simply read) them. I’ll be doing video book reviews on each of them, per my notes in the margins, and already completed one (part 1) of this one by my friend, Jennifer Carey. Here’s the link to it: https://youtu.be/NtHNcOlCOMY?si=7ChQiP-m-6CXrKDM

As well, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche, and Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I’m also reading How to Become a Christian in Seven Days by Russell Brand. It’s enlightening and entertaining as well. I’m not sure I’ll do a video book review on it though–let me know if you’d be interested in seeing that. I’m reading it on my phone at night before I sleep, so I’ve not been taking notes. (I sometimes nearly laugh out loud though! I muffle myself because if I woke Richard up with my laughing HE would NOT be amused.)

Current happenings

I’ve been continuing to see my naturopathic doctor to resolve the toe issue, or should I say, toes plural issue, but that doesn’t sound right when I say it. And I tweaked my arm the other night when I went to our eldest granddaughter’s last choir/band concert of the school year! Ugh. Why didn’t I say NO to going? Why did I change seats TWICE at her boyfriend’s request? Apparently, my daughter was right when a day previous to this experience she told Richard that I (me) just cannot say, NO! Go figure. And then the Universe proved it to me. I don’t say NO nearly often enough! Lesson learned.

And here’s the update to a video I did two months ago, but I added screen titles to illuminate my lessons learned regarding these physical issues: https://youtu.be/DGpYUK4tqKA?si=9oTUpwsIEwhCTGi6

As well, I’ve been watching several of these Gina interview shows via her “Buy Me a Coffee” portal:

Now, we’ve got three more music radio livestream shows for you to watch/listen to, if you haven’t subscribed to our Unsolicited Radio channel already:

Country music show #2: https://www.youtube.com/live/LGUBBK45lG4?si=ij0iJ5XxOIVTl39C (The link to the first country music radio show was on my last blog article.)

Rock music show #1: https://www.youtube.com/live/2E-0gl-9x7I?si=CtqOFGtcmeZR7ZNq

Blues/Reggae show #1: https://www.youtube.com/live/_wIhuVPJP-4?si=e3NfsIhrcm_I9t68

AND

Country music show #3: https://www.youtube.com/live/H9QuCVygbWo?si=n7wXukdFW37R21ia

Richard is several shows ahead of me and I am working feverishly to get all the parts and pieces together in iMovie on my now, very overworked, MacBook Air, to livestream all of these shows. Sometimes my MacBook will spontaneously shut down and reboot in the middle of a livestream and the show ends abruptly! Not good when one is trying to launch a new YouTube channel and gain subscribers! But I suppose that’s a “first world country” kind of issue that no one really wants to hear about. I might have to buy a new laptop soon…

My last sketches

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: X Yes, I continue to practice sketching. And yes, while I’m monitoring our livestreams of the radio show, that’s when I do my sketching. I can’t work on my laptop while the shows are live-streaming, so it makes sense. And I enjoy these. Richard also asked for one based on one of his artworks too, and he surprised me by using Photoshop to integrate my sketch INTO his art! Wow!

My “shrines” sketch, based on Linda Lewis’ sketch model.
And after coloring my sketch with oil pastels and black marker. I did use my laptop to show this model from Linda as I worked on it over several days. I typically use my iPhone to view the model sketches. – See Linda’s blog article: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/05/07/thursday-5-7-2026/
I’m very happy with this “shrine” sketch all colored in. Thanks so much to Linda for the original Thailand shrines sketch! See: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/05/07/thursday-5-7-2026/
A Linda Lewis original sketch from her post: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/04/29/wednesday-4-29-2026/
My copy or version of Linda’s cowgirl hat sketch. That white spot within the green thing is supposed to be her right hand. I know. I’m not good with hands. But I’m learning. I nearly didn’t leave room for her feet either! LOL I did enjoy trying to do this sketch though, and Linda always tells me that’s what is important.
Richard gave me one of his wolf art prints and asked me to “draw it like a child would.” Well, THAT was easy. Ha! LOL! (because I do draw like a child!) This is what I gave him.
Richard incorporated my wolf sketch INTO his wolf artwork! Ha! I think he’d had someone complain about his original wolf looking too much like their photographer’s work, so he removed the offending wolf, but I’m probably not supposed to talk about that story… so shhhhh! Haha!

Now, whew! How’s THAT for balancing perspectives?!?

I have restarted JIGGLE WIGGLE!

Yes, there are a couple of new video “shorts” on my channel now for JIGGLE WIGGLE, so be sure to check in there and check those out. I’m starting out S-L-O-W and incorporating the rehab exercises I’ve learned to work/stretch my back muscle (that runs from back up/around shoulder), the low back muscles that can cause sciatica pain, and the outer calf muscle in the leg that runs down and around the ankle and feeds he nerves of the toes!

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease 
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. 
  • And to question EVERYTHING!

Here’s where you can access my YouTube channel videos: https://youtube.com/@spiralsister

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)
