I had such a grand time on Julia’s Anchor Haven Debrief podcast! I met Julia via Gina Virginia Casella (see end of this article for more regarding Gina’s Dragon Dreamers conference on June 13th). And I do hope some of you can join us all day on June 13th for that. Gina and everyone on the team, as well as us presenters have been working hard to ensure everyone will gain new insights and perspectives on a range of subjects, so I think it will be worth your time and $40 to watch/listen. I know I’m excited about it!

The episode of Anchor Haven’s Debrief I was on can be found at: https://youtu.be/pBlP6SFGKWA?si=OdBt-aewcR9hBTnQ or at: https://www.youtube.com/live/qQZZBdXNYRw?si=ff3HJwmesamPb9q-

Not sure why it’s there twice, with one having 112 views as of today and the other having 41 views. The time is the same, so I believe the videos are the same, only the thumbnail is different. I’m including both links so choose whichever works for you.

New Movement – Vanja’s Moves Method

After prayer, I began seeing a LOT of video ads from a gal in Australia named, Vanja. Perhaps you’ve seen those ads too, where she squats, and hangs, does splits, and all kinds of things. She’s incredibly flexible and STRONG! Of course, she’s much younger than ME, but she says she’s taught people much older than me how to get their mobility back! Ha! I didn’t believe it at first, but after watching more and having a one hour discovery call (which I did NOT buy into their personalized training program).

I did spend $27 on Vanja’s “toolkit,” which is why they routed me to have that one hour discovery call, and that toolkit gives me the beginner movements to follow to see if I like how they train. If nothing else, I’m looking at this as a way to replace the Pilates class I used to go to when we lived in Florida. And other than buying one piece of equipment to hang on, I won’t have to make any other purchases. I’m building my belief in this because every day, I’m squatting more and for longer time (seconds still at this point), and I’ve lost an inch off my waist–in 5 DAYS! I don’t weigh myself, I measure. But when I get my blood labs done the end of June, I’m sure they will tell me how much I weigh. Ugh.

Here’s the first few video “shorts” of the training I’ve been doing:

Day 2 of squatting: https://youtube.com/shorts/er0HbE2-Rxg?si=gPiWTStX14dLmH5l

And then I progressed to: https://youtube.com/shorts/n0a84v57Dc0?si=2aOrfzwSGuByzXom

And compared to: https://youtube.com/shorts/zRk0SngiwEg?si=MKiUwNbOxcDO8Mqd

I’m really getting to the point where I look forward to hanging and squatting as soon as I wake up in the mornings! Today is Day 13 of doing the Moves Method and as I told my naturopathic doctor yesterday, I’m a believer! I feel better overall and getting a bit of zest for life back! Ha! Oh, and he found the root cause of my numb toes issue yesterday… so I can continue working on the bottom of my left foot, doing a cross-fiber massage on it while holding my toes back with the other hand! I’d never held my toes back before while massaging my feet, so there’s that. Go figure!

Video book reviews

I’m almost done creating a new video book review, part 1 for the daily devotional I’ve been reading (that was a birthday gift from my bestie since 4th grade), Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I have been getting a LOT out of it, though I am often several days behind in my reading and so the “daily” part of it has been the most challenging. This is definitely getting me into the habit of spending time with Christ Jesus every day… I believe that’s what the word, commitment is all about too! Spending the time.

Once that’s on my YouTube channel, I’ll start working on a video book review, part 1 on The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche that my Theosophy/Buddhist book club is reading and discussing. It’s DEEP and so rewarding! . Then, I’ll review Russell Brand’s new book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days. Finally, I’ll circle back around to finish up the 2nd part of my review of Jennifer Carey’s book, Illuminating the Stories that Bind Us. The link to the part 1 video book review of it is: https://youtu.be/NtHNcOlCOMY?si=7ChQiP-m-6CXrKDM I’m almost finished with Jen’s book too, and will begin putting together a video review for it in July.

Unsolicited Radio is now on Rumble!

Our Unsolicited Radio channel is still rolling along, though I have had some ridiculous arguments with YouTube, so I’ve began adding all of our videos onto Rumble! I won’t muck and mire about YouTube, but I am NOT happy with THEM! I’ve been creating a new music show daily and adding it to YouTube and Rumble. Most premiere about 11am eastern time each day. I’m not including each link below, but here’s a few to get you started and you can check out the others on your own:

Crossovers music show #1: https://youtu.be/tzc56nat5BM

Crossovers music show #2: https://youtu.be/ojn1hHglOGc

Ohno! Haha! Yes! music show is at: https://youtu.be/Qq0rRk_nGFo

Various music show: https://youtu.be/QRvNhR9wJVc

Follow me on Rumble via link at the very bottom of this article and yes, all four of these radio shows are now on Rumble. I’m working on 6 more crossover shows and a couple of pop music shows too! So very busy!

Couple sketches

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: https://creativeartworksblog.com and this is not a sketch of hers but a picture of a piece of driftwood that I thought I might be able to sketch:

Driftwood face photo – original artist unknown but found on Linda’s Creative Artworks blog.
My driftwood face sketch with markers and oil pastels on poster paper. –Sheila Murrey
This is a trinket dish I made from clay at the art studio and after it was fired once, I went back to paint it. I chose to antique it so that’s why you see more of the color in the crevices and lighter on the rest of the plate/bowl. I love how it turned out! –Sheila Murrey
And this is a flower casting made from a clay imprint I made and then poured plaster into, to turn out this casting. Unfortunately, the plaster wasn’t measured properly, so the flowers didn’t come out the way we expected. The studio has offered I come back for another class gratis. I don’t know if I will. I simply filed down the rough spots on the flowers and painted it. I probably could have done a better job of painting it, but plaster soaks up a lot of paint. –Sheila Murrey

I’m working on one now that my daughter sketched and then painted on canvas at the art studio where she works. I’ll have it ready to show in a few days, but I am busy practicing my keynote speech for Saturday’s conference, so I may not post again for a week. You know how it goes!

Here’s the link where you can grab a copy of, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I’ve now sold several copies, even one to someone in Australia! So, I’ve made $40 from Amazon. I’m still working on reformatting the book though so hopefully the paperback version will print better. I’m still aggravated with how some people’s paperback copies had blurry print, even one told me the print looked like the printer had began running out of ink! Ugh. If that happens, get your money back from Amazon. I want you to have a readable copy!

JIGGLE WIGGLE and the MOVES

Since hurting myself in January, I’ve been taking it slow like a snail on the dancing, and instead focusing on rehab exercises for strengthening the big muscle that runs from one’s back up/around the 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! Thus, you’ll be seeing more Vanja Moves Method “short” videos on my channel before anymore dancing.

Currently, I’m challenging myself to use the $27 “toolkit” series of movements from Vanja for the next 4-8 weeks and take it from there. Our son-in-law just setup and put together my pull-up bar equipment I’d ordered from Walmart so I could do the hang movement properly. People were getting concerned that I was going to hurt myself more by trying to hang from the backside of a door, or from the edge of the 2nd story floor that runs above the stairwell. I know that’s hard to visualize and it was even harder to film. I have videos of all the ways I’d tried to hang around this 140-year old house. None of which were safe! So, I took it upon myself to buy a special apparatus for hanging. Hanging decompresses our backs! Who knew? Plus the granddaughters LOVE it! They want one for their room! LOL I told them they can come over any time and hang out with me. They are naturally very good at hanging and doing all kinds of gymnastics type moves on it and no one trained them! Ah, kids!

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 and I have been linking to Vanja too, in the description of my video shorts, in case you are interested in who I’m learning this stuff from re: mobility and movement to rehab my body.

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.)

  1. My Gosh Sheila. I get exhausted just reading your ability to take on so much regards your numerous activities. So….well done for continuing to be truly enthusiastic with your ever seeking mind. Inspirational and very interesting in the way you write and analyse all the healing techniques, art classes, interactive discussions, radio programmes and more.

    Cheers and all the best. 🙏🏽🍁🍂

      1. It is good to have a break Sheila. Switching off the thoughts when in full flow is difficult as you say. You do have a lot of interesting themes currently. Great for motivation.

        Currently we are on a week long holiday break in Yorkshire and it always takes a few days for Angie to switch off mentally from work left behind. I can nowadays go with the ‘expect that there may be nothing of note from the day to day’ and simply chill.

        Cheers Sheila.

      3. Home tomorrow Sheila. No photographs. I did have my film camera ready for action in an old small army bag that was easy to carry. But left it at home! 🙄 Ah well.

        In cafes they do a huge Yorkshire pudding that is filled with a full dinner. Cheers Sheila.

      4. Wow, Gray! A huge Yorkshire pudding filled with dinner? I can’t even imagine! I’ve gotta Google that or something, as it sounds incredible! Oops on leaving the camera and army bag at home. But I certainly understand. I took my phone to the little quaint mini-Disney amusement park we went to with the family last Sunday, BUT I couldn’t take it on the rides, and the pictures of took of the granddaughters can’t be shared (that’s been a thing with my daughter and son-in-law, pretty much right from the beginning). They don’t want their faces shared publicly, and I suppose that probably for obvious reasons now (between creeps and AI, who knows how kids are/may be exploited). I’m just so glad I have three park images I can share to give a small sense of what our day was like. I had a FANTASTIC time! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed your outing as well. Thanks so much for your comment.

      5. We had a great break Sheila. My accessed tooth was really troublesome for a while. But gradually subsided. Just thankful the tooth was removed just before the holiday.

        Sounds like you’ve had a wonderful mini break too. Totally agree with your views on the modern day abilities to use images inappropriately. Very worrying.

        Currently sorting out vinyl playing. Building up a nice turntable, amp and speakers set up. There was a good quality turntable in the holiday home. I bought some Neil Diamond albums up in Yorkshire from a charity shop. So it was good to sit back and listen to a whole album without break. Nowadays it is streaming on YouTube, Spotify, Prime, etc. for many and the ease available in jumping out halfway through songs. Oh for those days of vintage where life, in so many ways, was so different.

        Cheers Sheila. 🙏🏽🍁🍂

      6. Oh, I’m so glad you got that tooth removed, Gray! Yes, stuff like that can really hinder one’s experience. What a wonderful treat to find Neil Diamond albums and have the time to sit and listen all the way through after getting back home! Wow! I’m sure that’s so restful and inspiring, Gray. Bravo! p.s. Yes, life with music is very different now.

      7. The guy who owned the place we stayed at was apparently very well known in the entertainment industry. So his house had a really eclectic vibe furniture and pictures on the wall wise. He had a turntable in the living room, so we could listen to vinyl of his as well. Enjoyed the stay immensely.

        I bought a couple of Jamo Cornet 30 IV Danish speakers from a local shop in Machynlleth a couple of days ago. With my Pioneer SA500 amplifier I recently bought off eBay, vinyl is now being played. Warm 1970s resonance too. Gorgeous sound. Because the 1970s Pioneer turntable was Kev’s, I chose one of his favourite albums to play for the launch of the new/vintage set up. It’s Maiden voyage so to speak. The album I chose was Kongos by John Kongos. Kev played it a lot. My grandson was with me. He said ‘I rather like this’. Kev channeling his musical preferences into the heart and soul of his great-nephew from across the Universe!

        The tooth situation settled after 5 to 6 days Sheila, and have since visited the hygienist and dentist. A fragment of the extracted tooth was working its way out, so she removed it. There may be more she says. Hope note. Sharp little blighters they are indeed. Your tongue gravitates towards it and gets little annoying scratches which get more sore as the day goes by!

        Anyways……Cheers Sheila. Hope you have a glorious weekend. 🙏🏽🍁🍂

      8. Wow, Gray! About the tooth fragments and about the new speakers/amp. I’m glad that tooth is continuing to self-clean itself out of your mouth! (Though a good oral surgeon cleans it out after pulling or extracting.) We’re currently watching a YouTube tour of Wales. We’re so fascinated and there’s sooo much more there than we suspected. I’m so glad to hear that your grandson is channeling Kev! Billy talked about that briefly in that interview too, “pulling down notes from the universe” or something such statement like that. I’m pretty sure he actually used the word, “channeled.” Ha! Yes, as you know, that’s my jam. Speaking of such, I watched another Next Level Soul Podcast interview where they suggested this planet Earth as a city or “university = universe-city” of learning for the soul. I love that.

      9. Tooth problems are great are they. I can feel that another fragment may be there now. Nothing broken through yet though. Illness is a cumulative affair really. I have never truly been ill orientated. Always too much to do to get ill. But since that brain aneurysm scare it has steadily been one thing after another. Viral emphasis is my subconscious understanding to a this. Inherent challenging. I feel a good Vision Quest of isolation and focus for a decent span could heal. Maybe do a Billy and channel down the Universe vibe too. And yes…..that is your jam. I’m surprised you haven’t expressed the ambition to do your own Vision Quest.

        That phrase regarding the University of Life usually means, to myself, learning how to survive hard knock-backs in life. ‘Life events’ teaching you how to survive. So the links with the soul is very likely to be included in such philosophy. I like that idea too.

  3. I’m so happy for you, Sheila. You’re making progress in so many directions with so many things! Congrats on the squats and particularly that you’re feeling better. Good for you on the sketch. I LOVE the castings – both of them – the 3-D-ness, the colors, all of it. You’re so busy I don’t know how you keep everything straight, but you sound full of life and energy, and that’s what it’s all about. Enjoy every minute of it. I’m proud to know you, Sheila!!!!

    1. Thank you so much, dear Linda!! I am thrilled you love both pieces, the clay and plaster! I was going to ask you what you thought I might do to improve the plaster piece—I think it is kind of bland. But I thought the green would look good on the gray wall, and it does. Just think the yellow dots need more definition or something.

      Your words of encouragement mean so much to me!!

  5. What an inspiring and uplifting post.
    I admire your openness to exploring new ideas, sharing your experiences, and embracing personal growth. Your enthusiasm for the podcast, the upcoming conference, and your new movement journey is truly contagious. Losing an inch off your waist in just five days is a wonderful achievement, but even more impressive is your commitment and positive attitude.
    Wishing you continued success, improved mobility, and many exciting discoveries along the way!
