My daughter did this sketch a month or so ago at the art studio where she works. I knew as soon as I saw her photos of the progression she took on it, I knew I wanted to sketch it. But with high prioritizing my mobility exercises (at various times throughout my day), prepping food and cooking then performing the subsequent clean-up, working on reformatting the paperback version of my book, doing interviews and Zoom calls to promote it, reading and working through about 6 books, reviewing and posting video book reviews of such, and attending a book club, plus a variety of summertime things going on while the granddaughters are off school, and walking with hubby (sometimes to our local coffee shop for brunch or other times for lunch or an early dinner at another local place)–this blog totally takes a back seat! Whew!
I’m betting at least some of you can relate though and have just as much going on.
Now, here are the sketch progressions:
Top is the sketch by my daughter; bottom is my version of the sketch with new pencil. –Sheila MurreyTop sketch by my daughter – step 2; bottom is my version – step 2. –Sheila MurreyTop sketch by my daughter – step 3; bottom is my version – step 3. –Sheila Murrey
But I finally broke open the new pack of pencils I bought and erasers, AND I did actually use an eraser on this sketch a few times, so yes, I can see where these are going to help improve all of my future sketches quite a bit! Thank you to my dear fellow blogger and long distance “soulie” friend, Linda Lewis (watercolor sketch artist and weight loss inspiration to me). I think Linda may love this–though I couldn’t figure how to do the water very well either. Linda and I have chatted about how to create a more fluid water look.
Top sketch by my daughter – step 4; bottom is my version – step 4. I thought I was done, but do you notice what I forgot? –Sheila MurreyMy completed version and I reworked some of the grass and rocks too because I noticed that the white helped some of the other colors blend better. –Sheila Murrey
I stopped a few times to check to see if I was enjoying the sketching. While I can’t say I smiled much throughout this, I think it’s because I still see it as another task to get done. And then, also to try and “get right.” But I keep reminding myself that Art can communicate more than words and connects us in my subconscious ways. And THAT makes me happy.

It’s July 7th, 2024; We have an original country music song for ALL. We’re winding down from celebrating my daughter’s 44th birthday yesterday. No hangover, but I bet if we’d opened that bottle of Prosecco after having liquor (mixed or straight). This is a great country mix from Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN.
My girl
Here’s the one-hundred-eighty-ninth new music post for 2024, as I consistently blast out new releases daily. New music stimulates our minds and bodies. We listened to some new songs yesterday; I found it interesting how many ways one could apply lyrics about ‘my girl’ to family or friends. I love songs that can apply to different circumstances and scenarios.
Yesterday, I watched our twin granddaughters play video games as my daughter and son-in-law assembled the new bed my daughter ordered. Later, we had pizza delivered (YUM) and enjoyed watching YouTube and a movie on the big screen (Our son-in-law has a pull-down screen and projector system).
When I wrote yesterday’s blog (and Facebook post) for my daughter, I realized just how few photos I have of her by herself. I have lots of pictures of my daughter with her girls; I’ve also got many pictures of my daughter with me and in family photos. I wanted yesterday to be all about her, but (at least in photos I have) she’s typically always with someone. Case in point, my son-in-law’s mom even took a picture of us at the lake the other day. I had to laugh when I saw it because my daughter and I looked like “two peas in a pod” the way we were standing (hands on hips, same body language, etc.)–and neither of us realized it at the time.
Time changes things but also circles back
My girl always loved the water. My parents began by taking her to the river. And a few years later, I took her (and my son) to the beach in Florida. We’ve had our differences, as probably all mothers and daughters do (I failed her at times; she rebelled too–as we’re each very independent/stubborn at times). But now? I’m so thankful we were open and willing to heal any/all emotional wounds and grow closer again. My daughter (and her girls) are my heart! And now, I know how my mom felt.

It’s July 2nd, 2024; We have an original pop song for you, loaded with piano on the bridge. This song is all about enjoying and loving where you live. The radio-ready original pop song will remind you what living is for—a lovely clean mix by Steven Cooper in Nashville, TN.
We all want to love where we live
Here’s the one-hundred-eighty-fourth new music post for 2024, as I consistently give you new musical stylings to bathe in. We loved living in the country (and lived in an RV off grid for 17 months a few years ago–so we had our fill!), and now, we love living in a small town where we can walk to a lake, a coffee and breakfast sandwich shop, couple of 5-star restaurants, ice cream shop, and opera house! My parents lived in a double wide for the last few decades of their lives (so I never wanted one). But to each their own!
Yesterday, we enjoyed getting out to a nearby lake (not the one across the street from us) so the kiddos could try out the kayaks they got for Christmas this past winter. Yes, I got in my daughter’s kayak after they finished, and my son-in-law’s mother did. We both got into and out of the kayaks without issue (that had been half or more of my fear about trying it) and paddled around for a few minutes! I could feel the challenge in my core and upper arms, which I needed. I enjoyed it and am considering buying one for myself!
My family out on the lake in kayaks. This lake has a nice beach are and buoy’s to mark off the swimming area. –Sheila MurreyAll enjoyed getting out on the lake. We enjoyed it immensely until the rain cut our day on the lake short. –Sheila Murrey
Water
The water relaxes me sooo much! I know our bodies are made up of approximately 70% water, so why does floating or swimming in the water, or riding on it in a boat, relax me so much? Years ago a coworker told me that going to the beach surrounded my body with negative ions, and that was the reason that environment relaxed my nervous system. Maybe so!
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. I love the water. And I also love being like water. Flowing.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. May we all soar in ’24!
Yours in expanding, flowing-as-water, spiraling consciousness,

A lot of something can be a poison; a little, a medicine. In the physical, our eyes are limited and we see through the veil darkly. And fractals. Always uncovering the fractals to reveal many layers and play with the patterns that emerge.
To listen instead of read, play this (you’ll get a surprise if you do, I sing a line from a song you may recognize that inspired this):
A Sunday meditation (examining thoughts)
Alcohol. Used to make tinctures, tonics, and medicine, or to cook with, can be good. But to an alcoholic that same small amount can trigger a binge. People have died from drinking too much alcohol. Thus, it is a lethal substance, yet legal (in most places in the USA).
Water. Too little can kill; too much can kill. Air carries tiny droplets of water we call, Humidity.
Air. Breathwork is beautiful. Hyperventilation can cause someone to pass out. Humans can only go so many minutes without air though. Our physical reality literally depends on a mixture of invisible chemicals we call, Air.
Dirt. I remember a story about a Russian woman who lived to a long age by eating dirt. We need a little dirt, I recall hearing as a child–for the minerals. When we die, we are buried beneath four to six feet of dirt. When we buried my parents the cemetery owner told me the “six feet under” thing was a fallacy. They typically only dig the hole down into the earth about four feet.
Minerals. A little mercury? Too much is certain poison. A little dab will do you (maybe?) of this earth element that is a combination found in the environment of cinnabar and metacinnabar. But at some amount, mercury is toxic. Who was the first person to discover this? What suffering did that person experience?
Driving. When drivers follow the rules, traffic seems orderly. Remember leisurely Sunday drives? I do. But recently I chose to give up driving because it stresses me out. Or perhaps, I ALLOW crazy drivers to stress ME out? Even when I practice Reiki and turn my spiritual Reiki light on, the hassle of driving was something I didn’t feel I needed anymore–plus the financial costs of buying, maintaining, fueling, and insuring a car when I only went short distances once a week.
What stresses you out, physically or chemically that you can choose to “let go of” in order to live freer?
I left my home state at 22 years of age because I couldn’t breathe there. Physically, the area I was born and raised in was called, The Chemical Valley. And I was diagnosed and treated with asthma from the time I was six years of age. When I was about eight years old we visited Florida, due to a death of a close family friend, and I found I could BREATHE free and clear for the first time in my life. And I loved the beach and palm trees. I told my dad, “I want to live in Florida”! And my wonderful Dad helped make that a reality for me, though it took many years. Mom only moved because she had to. Mom loved our home state.
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do influence, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW.
Layers levels doses degrees fractal meme by Spiral Sister
Finding Truth
Have you examined something so intricately that while on the surface looked uninteresting or untrue, but then upon digging further you found hidden truths?
Perhaps finding truth simply means examining the levels of life and layers more closely. I think most people don’t want to work that hard. They don’t want to keep digging to uncover the truth because it might mean they’ll have to change something about themselves or how they live life.
Why do myths persist?
There must be at least some truth to the “old wives’ tales,” no?
We can study life in a matter of degrees; too hot, too cold and too much or little information. ALL of life comes down (can be explained) by working through the layers, levels, doses, and degrees.
The unexamined life is not worth living, right?

After my dad’s passing, transition to the Grand Beyond, or his “Celebration Day” (March 2019), I continue to get little “winks” from him that “All is okay” on the other side of The Veil. And that makes me smile.
And since my mom’s crossing over beyond The Veil, I’ve had visitations from her! Thus, “I Know,” have become words I say often when referring to life on the Other Side.
I love teaching large and complex topics: like we’re part of God, or different leaves on a tree. And when I want to observe MORE, I take my shoes off (as I did when we laid my parents to rest recently in my home state: https://youtube.com/shorts/fmmrTPI-SC4?feature=share
When I hugged the boxes that held each of my parents’ remains, I tried to say, “I love you eternally,” but my voice was stunted. I couldn’t eek out the words! But I knew, they knew, and that was ALL that mattered. My intention reverberated throughout space and time in that single MOMENT.
We are all one with God
Now, and for some time, I’ve felt we are “fractals of Omniscience” and I have often spoke about that concept. But when I hear people say, “We Are All One” it really magnifies that point.
I soulfully love the practice of imagining the fractal though, as it points out that “as above, so below” insofar as we are created in the same fashion as our Creator, and we beget, in the same design. A fractal is defined as:
Check out the movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and you may begin to see what I’m referring to when I say, we’re a part of Everything happening all at the same time. We’re limitless.
The ocean are drops of water, all over the planet–even underneath the earth’s crust.
A fractal of Omniscience
As a fractal of Omniscience, designed into Spirit, Soul, Mind (the Infinite and Unified Field), and Body (a sort of earth suit or meat suit–that’s made up on 70-100 TRILLION cells), you really can speak to anything that’s going on in your body and recreate it! Your body is always listening to YOU!
The ocean is made up of millions of drops of water. Each drop of water contains the ocean within it.
If our physical senses had a different frequency range, we would SEE the infinite vibrations (energies and frequencies) and whir of interconnected fractals. I love sitting in wonderment of what different species see and hear… as some see much better at night than we do, and dogs hear and smell so much more than us too!
Observing your WORDS can lead to Awareness
Record yourself freely speaking for a few minutes and then watch it. What do you repeat often? There’s power in analyzing the words and phrases you say repeatedly.
I love focusing on the OM (as found in OMniscient, OMnipresence, and OMnipotent attributes of Source Creator God). OM is hidden in many everyday words like cOMe, hOMe, sOMe, wOMan, and tOMb.
What words do you repeat often? What are your “go to” phrases to encourage yourself and others?
Many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀🎼〰️🙏☯️🌅💦🌱🌳🌴🌲

The second section of notes from my past life regression:
I noticed that I may have been my grandparents first son (my uncles younger sibling who was a lost baby). But that only was just a glimpse.
Then I saw myself as an old scruffy man who was wearing big heavy, gloppy kind of winter boots, like something out of Game of Thrones. The man I was while wearing those work boots, was a farrier. I groomed horses and shod them. I don’t recall much of anything else about that life. I don’t recall how I died or if I had a family or anything else.
And then lastly, Patricia asked us to go to a beach and I could see my feet through the water. And I could walk into the water and see the three dolphins she spoke of. I could touch the dolphins and I wasn’t afraid of them. So that was a good thing. (That scene reminded me of the past life regression that I’d had while we were in Glastonbury, and I had seen myself as an eel! That’s right! I had no feet; I was a water creature.)
So, here I am seeing myself moving from the flash of the aforementioned eel-like creature to something like… hmm… I begin to get this idea that I had been a SYMBOL, such as the yin and yang symbol, which I see now.
When I meditate, I often now see a living breathing yin yang ☯️ entity. As the dark side grows bigger, the light side will get smaller. As the light side gets larger, the dark side shrinks smaller! The wave in the middle is not a delineating line, as it’s drawn in 2d but rather a 5d symbol where the wavy line is a BLEND. Yes, the wavy line is meant to represent a blending.
Continuing along this thought, and to further explain this concept…
When you look at a rainbow, you don’t see a line in between the colors. You see the frequencies of the colors blend from one to another. So yes, you can look at a rainbow and say, oh, there’s a pretty blue. Or a red and a purple and a yellow and an orange whatever the colors are, you see those distinct colors, but between the colors there is this blending, there is no barrier or boundary or such to protect one color from another. And I believe it’s the same with us.
Patricia’s Past Life Regression Workshop ad
We are porous creatures. Every cell in our body has water in it. Every cell has a membrane but the membrane is porous.
Vitamins and minerals and necessary nutrients can move in and out of the cells, and they move in and out of our gray matter in our brain and bloodstream. In fact, our bloodstream is made up of white blood cells and red blood cells. And even those carry bits of our DNA and each and the cool thing about our DNA is that even if we’re born with something in our DNA that’s broken, at some point that can be fixed or repaired! It can be healed and rejuvenated based on our experiences and what we put into our cell culture, our culture medium—which is our body, our petri dish. We are flexible. We are mush. Goo. Some people say our body is a meat sack or meat suit.
I believe we are living spirit beings wearing in a body that is built for this planet and for this space and time and for this pressure.
There is an atmospheric pressure. If you think about scuba diving under in the ocean under the seas, the farther down you go, the more pressure the farther up you go in the atmosphere, the more pressure and the less oxygen available (just like it’s harder to breathe when you go to Colorado and you’re up in the mountains, as opposed to living in Florida by the beach).
When you go up in atmospheres, it’s harder to breathe. So, we were purposely meant, and created specifically, to live on the surface of the crust of the earth and on the dirt of the ground. We were meant to help the earth grow plants to eat fruits from trees, and care for trees. And continue to replant and repot plants and plant trees and so on and so forth. We were meant to eat a plant based diet. But when the plants were not plentiful, and the seasons were changing, and we didn’t have mechanisms by which to store food, then yes, we we could trap or kill an animal. And typically, people were meant to eat smaller creatures than themselves. So we would eat rabbits and squirrel and things that were smaller. We probably did not eat dogs because in the early days dogs would not have been domesticated they would have been wolves. And unless there was an older or sickly wolf—which we wouldn’t want it to eat anyway—people would not have eaten a wolf as they would have been too ferocious for men to to trap or kill. We wouldn’t have eaten lion. We wouldn’t have eaten camels and giraffe and things like that that, as they would have been too difficult to kill. So yes, there are some other animals that we may have killed for meat such as deer and bison that the Native Americans were able to hunt and trap and kill and of course fish. (Even Jesus was a fisherman. It is purported.)
So if that’s the case, then by all means, yes, we would eat fish. So there are people that believe in eating a vegetarian diet, and that’s very good and pescatarian who add fish. We do seem to need a bit of oil in our body and that could be achieved by the butter and the cheese from cows, sheep, or goats, or it could also come from the fish from the sea. And the people who tend to live by the sea tend to have the longest lifespans with the least health issues.
Definitely the modern, convenient lifestyle of the fast food is contributing to ill health and is killing people. The people of Okinawa in Japan have been a blue zone for many years, meaning that they have a long life expectancy and good longevity there, but now that fast food has been introduced to them—the American way of eating, and the standard American diet, also called SAD—it is reported that the people are experiencing higher incidences of heart problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, and those kinds conditions. So it is true that you are what you absorb. And we absorb air and we absorb water. And if the air and the water is polluted, we’re absorbing those toxins. And that’s why it’s good to detox.

I’ll give you my food rules, but I am really interested to see what yours are:
Alcohol. Because I am an adult and can legally drink alcohol, I do! More or less depending on my mood or if I want a treat, but every time I stop drinking alcohol (and start feeling better in my body), I restart after 3 months or so, because I feel I deserve it, and because I can. Ugh. Awareness is step one though, right?
Cake. I am typically able to pass up cake and any kind of dessert with ease, but wedding cake? Wedding cake gets me every time! Haha! Glad I don’t officiate weddings anymore (nor have I attended any weddings in several years).
Wedding cake
Christmas cookies. I used to love the chocolate and paraffin covered peanut butter balls my aunt Gela made at Christmas, as well as the potato candy that my dad made. And then, my grandmother’s banana walnut cake with chocolate icing, and my mom’s fudge.
I have learned to let go of a lot of Christmas cookies, and other delightful confections, but I do order french chocolate truffles (and some years my daughter mails us her homemade truffles), so we indulge in those during cold holiday evenings.
I do love a fruit cake if it’s soaked in whiskey or rum, because it reminds me of my mom. And chocolate flourless cake is my favorite (even instead of cheesecake)! If we are out for dinner somewhere they offer chocolate flourless cake, I get it. Thankfully, not many places have it on their menu. I get it, on average, once a year.
Chips and dip. I have beat this habit, but if I buy potato chips, I must also buy sour cream and onion dip. Thank God Mister Bee potato chips changed their formula. I didn’t even think about buying those while we were visiting West Virginia last week.
Water. I have no rules around water, but have been trying to drink half my body weight in ounces of water each day. I think I could use a good rule around water. I have let go of soda (20 years ago), and recently began drinking more herbal teas. I love Sipology teas.
What rules around food do you have?

This philosophy or mantra came to me after my dad’s passing in March of 2019. I can’t tell you exactly how to come around to this thought, especially during times of anger, upset, or grief. But, I can tell you that’s what I received in a KNOWING kind of way.
Everything Resolves to Gratitude
I’ve said these words to people many times. And I’ve written them. I even created a t-shirt with these words on it! I get sideways head glances when I wear it grocery shopping, especially during these COVID times, yet few smile. Perhaps it’s too big of a concept. 🤷🏼 But, I love teaching large and complex topics: like we’re part of God, like different leaves on a tree.
We are all part of the one living garment of God.
I’ve been shown that WE are all part of the one living garment of God. That is why there is no value in judging one another.
Years ago, I watched Russell Brand eloquently talk about how The Christ in confused people is calling out to be saved. He said he loved the elegant simplicity of the Dao (Lao Tzo), the charming voluptuousness of the Vedias, the passion of Catholisicm, and the potency of Islam. For me, The Chosen series about the life and times of Jesus the Christ, and his “‘chosen” disciples enhance the knowledge I have of Christianity and Mormonism.
Brand knows that, “We Are All One.” And Russell admonished us to not be confused by our own conflict or our own biological drives…to simply breathe… Take a moment to strengthen the awareness behind our fear, our desire. Being a recovering addict, he knows a thing or too about desires. He suggested that all of our lives change when we reach that Awareness and that this KNOWING transmits and connects… to each other and to something bigger than ourselves.
Indoctrination and Programming
We all tend to define the world according to the indoctrination and programming we’ve received from the PUBLIC EDUCATION system. And I, along with many others, are now questioning the ideologies behind this “education.” This is why I love continuing education.
I have taken so many courses from thought leaders, Energy Medicine doctors, ministers, life coaches, founders of the Reflexology school in St. Petersburg, FL, raw vegan chefs, Reiki masters, and nurses (like Healing Touch, taken years ago at the cancer hospital in Orlando, FL) and the list goes on and on (see the list on my homepage if you’re very curious). And I live with a genius husband.
Yet, nature and my own body continue to be my most thorough teachers.
You are a fractal of Omniscience
For years I have told you that you are a fractal of Omniscience. Now, I can tell you that your Ego, your individual personality, gifts, and skills is a temporary expression of a much larger YOU – comprised of Spirit, Soul, Mind (Infinite and Unified Field), and Body (that’s made up on 70-100 TRILLION cells, most of which, are not human–they are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and more!
If we had different eyes, ears, skin, indeed more complex senses, we would SEE the infinite vibrations (energies and frequencies) bleeding, leaking, blending, and glowing in a vast and ever-expanding, chaos of tangles in some constant, whir of interconnected fractals. And that what you currently have faith in, is just the structure you’ve been taught to follow. We may never have the knowledge of who and what created ALL (including us), but we don’t really need to if we ACT upon the guidance we’ve received and exercise our FAITH–yes, LIVING what we believe.
How you might “get there”
I deeply appreciate the many blessings in my life, especially:
exciting work that I am well paid for
beautiful granddaughters (and love of my whole family)
increased awareness of how We really Are All Connected everyday, all the time
that I Am really so fully saved – feeling the ever increasing awareness of what that actually means!
this tactic of writing an “A list idea – of 5 things I appreciate” list!
And another suggestion:
Om karuna swaha
This is a daily meditation / chant for the God of compassion.
Wayne Dyer said, this something (power or force) that grows our fingernails – we cannot stop. And that is true, even after the death of our body, our fingernails keep growing.
My thought: everything in the universe vibrates. I tweeted it. Is it documented in Physics? Yes! Read Niels Bohr.
Having trouble loving someone? Seeing them as God sees them? Remember what Jerry once told Esther, when Esther had gotten mad at him. Pretend she is their granddaughter. Because Esther could never not love their grandchild – no matter how much of a mess she made, etc. Her love is unconditional for her!
Keys
I am going through some Energy shift since facilitating a TWO hour call in my club: Integrated Spiral this past Saturday night. I spent all day yesterday watching videos of spiritual masters (that had been shared with me), and I boiled my philosophy down even further.
To be IN SPIRIT is to be OUT of one’s mind. All the intellect in the world is no good if we are not LIVING our beliefs. Compassion and Love are keys—for ourselves and others. Yes, ALL others without judgment. Breathe. 💨 Water. Even a splash will work.❤️💦 Earth. Hands to floor. Bare feet in sand. Garden.
3 keys: Breathe. Water. Earth.
And then, or all throughout those actions: Observe.
I was introduced to Japji (not one but many videos on YouTube), and I am swimming in the enormous Energy of this.
Would you attend a 15 minute room in Clubhouse called, Breathing in Spirit? It will be a “check-in” kind of experience. Consistent practice I find, and this was reiterated to me Saturday night, is key. Because when we are upset for any reason, our breath can balance us (our emotions and body chemistry).
Awareness hidden in your WORDS
OM is hidden in many everyday words like cOMe, hOMe, sOMe, wOMan, and tOMb. And bOMb would be using this power as an opposing force.Do you really want to go there?
Why don’t we choose the positive path?
Choose to feel aWEsOMe! OM is also found in OMniscient, OMnipresence, and Omnipotent. All the attributes of God.
Choose LOVE
Looking through the lens of Love can be easy or difficult, depending upon how you’ve been conditioned to this point in your life. Sometimes, simply being aware and asking yourSelf when issues arise, “Am I feeling restricted or open to this new information?” and sitting with the answer that comes to you. The answer can show you if you are looking at the issue, conversation, person, or such through the eyes of Love, or not.
Many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀🎼〰️🙏☯️🌅💦🌱🌳🌴🌲
