Our summer outings, and couple conversations about the book

I’m going to be sharing much lighter things in upcoming days. I think. Maybe. Well, we shall see. I know life’s too short to continue to pound away at issues that seemingly never change. Like wars and rumors of wars. Pestilence and disease. Oh, the drama of humanity! It makes me weary. So, here’s a few snaps of some of our recent FUN! How’s that for turning the mirror ball around? Or twisting the kaleidoscope to reveal a new design?

We joined the family at a little quaint family fun amusement park in New Hampshire on Sunday called, Story Land. It was really geared more for the under 8 age group, but they had several adult rides too, like a steel coaster that I squeezed myself into and hit my knee on and got gut punch at the end. Ugh. But overall, it was a fun ride and smooth. Then, they have a wooden roller coaster that was my favorite and a bit easier to fit into and get into and out of. The gut punch at the end wasn’t nearly as bad as the bar that came across the body was larger/wider. Whew! Neither of these went upside down. I cannot do upside down, nor spin around anymore. I didn’t even do the fairly slow tea cup ride.

Daughter and one of the twins in one “cup” and son-in-law and the other twin and eldest granddaughter in another “cup.” These “cups” would spin around, as well as travel in a spiral 8 type of circle, weaving in with the other wheel of “cups” in a threaded type fashion. As someone enthralled with integration, you can imagine how thrilled I was to witness this ride. I took photos and videos from outside of the ride. Later, they told me they had no control of how fast the “cups” would spin, so I probably made the wise choice to abstain from riding. –Sheila Murrey at Story Land, NH.

I loved the old timey carousel though and the horses actually rocked! They were handmade many years ago in Germany and shipped over to the USA! Wow! So, there was a bit of history at Story Land, which I really appreciated. We had some “fair” type food (and unfortunately whatever I ate, a schnitzel type sausage dog, didn’t agree with me and gave me tummy pain), but after a bit of a rest on a grassy, shady hill–I was okay to go on with the day. I took loads of pictures of the granddaughters, but I’m not allowed to share them publicly. Still I enjoyed taking those photos and our family and close friends can enjoy those for years to come. I loved the scenery at the park. It isn’t every park that comes with mountains as a backdrop and a tunnel to walk through to cross the highway! I would like it if Story Land would include something about mining gemstones or such. They do have a large aquarium and our day ticket included entrance into that, so we’re planning on going there on another day. We were all too tuckered out to go to the aquarium on Sunday.

The carousel photo — daughter, son-in-law, and I sat on the bench behind a row of horses. I wasn’t about to try to get on a horse! LOL Later in the day, walking up the hill to the area of the coasters and water park took what energy I had left in me. I as happy to sit in the shade at the water park while everyone enjoyed the tube type water slides. –Sheila Murrey at Story Land, NH.

We walked sooo much at Story Land on Sunday that my calves were sore on Monday. It’s taken me a couple of days to recover from a bit of a sunburn too. But the good news is I got right back into my mobility exercises on Monday though, which is unusual for me (typically if I break a daily habit it takes some time for me to pick it up again). So, I’m thrilled to have broken THAT pattern! And I had a Facebook Live conversation on Monday and an early morning Zoom group call today too! So, I’m right back in the saddle (so to speak) for marketing my book, and the radio show, etc.)

Here are a few pictures of the lake in Maine where we camped recently too. Again, I was either walking/swinging at the swings with the girls or swimming, and didn’t have my phone with me. I made a conscious effort to “unplug” while we were at the campground.

We enjoyed a view of the lake from our rustic cabin and the girls (and all of us really), enjoyed the campfires we had on the nights it didn’t rain. And yes, we had s’mores on evening. They were a big hit! –Sheila Murrey
I walked a few feet closer to the lake to grab a better photo. –Sheila Murrey

My friend, Linda, of Creative Artworks: https://creativeartworksblog.com has suggested I get some pencils and erasure to use while sketching, and I finally got out to a different store the other day and found some! Thus, perhaps my skills will improve?!? Ha! We’ll see.

I looked for a watercolor set of paints but no luck, this time. The pencils and erasures I picked up for cheap. No idea how well they will work, yet! –Sheila Murrey

Here’s a link to the Facebook Live I did the other day with Lori Phillips of The Be Awesome Network. You don’t need to have a Facebook account to view it, but do let me know if that’s not the case: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thebeawesomenetwork/permalink/1898555040825659/

This morning’s Zoom call was with a Unity church business group and it was recorded, but I don’t know if they make those things public or not. It was very well received and I had several questions about it too! Yay! If they share the recording out publicly, I’ll share the link next time. If not, then it is what it is. I wish I had personally recorded the audio though, as it was one of my best explanations I’ve given yet of my book. I supposed I keep getting better at explaining what’s in the 600+ pages! Ha!

Summer Daze conference and pre/post discussions were all great! And so was our vacation!

I’m behind on posting and replying to comments here, my apologies! We were busy preparing for and then taking a much needed vacation to a gorgeous lake in Maine! Just home now, I saw a note to myself that I meant to share the following:

I wasn’t going to read this blog post from a fellow author and UK friend Michael (80s Metalman) re: The World Cup at: https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com/2026/06/14/world-cup-thoughts/ because I don’t watch sports, but I am so glad I read it!

I loved Michael’s points about leaving politics out of sports AND about sportsmanship!! People definitely deserve to play sports, music, have discussions and discourse about science, spirituality, health, etc. with respect and kindness and put political ideologies aside!

As for our lake vacation in Maine, yes, we all had a great time! We loved swimming in the cool water and the opportunity to watch our granddaughters (the twins are 9) fuss over snails their dad dug up from the lake sand. We had breakfast pizza one morning from the campground store, and did a LOT of walking. We had a big dinner out one evening too. I had brought filet mignon steaks and our son-in-law grilled them for all of us adults while the girls chowed down on hamburgers and hot dogs. (They don’t like steak, so no worries.) Thus we enjoyed several cookouts complete with homemade s’mores! Everyone at the campground (we all stayed in a cabin) were so friendly too!

The most memorable moment was when I happened to be only a foot away from one of the twins when she got scared while swimming and I “rescued” her–she really wasn’t in danger though. I got to hold her for several minutes and console her and tell her about how my mom taught me how to float on my back when I was about her age. Every child should know how to float! It could save many lives! She was so scared and I told her panic is what gets people in trouble. I explained water can feel scary but it’s also very relaxing if one will allow it. I totally understood her fear but hoped my calm reassurance would help ease her fear. She didn’t want to let me out of her site the rest of that day–and THAT was precious.

Dragon Dreamers Conference

The Dragon Dreamers Summer Daze all-day Saturday conference was fantastic! I gave the keynote presentation to set the theme for the day of Interconnectedness (and spoke about my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why). I know a few people didn’t want to pay full price to hear me speak, though it was well worth it. Now, you can watch the replay for $10 Canadian. So this time, your procrastination will save you money! Ha! How’s that for a deal?

I had a great conference experience on June 13th and think you might have liked it. I have been invited on another podcast, July 8th and am now conversing with others from Ireland and the UK. It’s starting to get very exciting!!

September 1st – Edge of the blacktop

It’s September 1st, 2024; We have an original rock song for some today. Thank God for small-town living. I love the feel of this song—with brilliant vocals from Bubba Hudson and a soulful production from Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN. 

Here’s the two-hundred-forty-fifth new music post for 2024, as I consistently give you new original songs for commercial purposes or simply for your listening pleasure. We think the intellectually curious will love our music, as well as ALL who want to put more joy into their life!

Yesterday, as we celebrated my husband’s birthday.

We went for a walk and enjoyed delicious appetizers and cocktails at a local restaurant (attached to a beautiful Inn with a stunning view of one of the lakes here). We got there early before the restaurant opened, so I could take Richard into the gift shop and pick out a new long-sleeve, thick and warm, zipped Henley shirt. We looked at the hoodies too, but he’s not really a hoodie type of guy. The zipped Henley suited him just fine. And then we sat in the lounge until the restaurant opened. 

I snapped a couple of photos of us (while sitting in the lounge) as we sat and dreamed about future possibilities. I’m glad my hubby still has dreams (even as he turned 74). Yay! They have a 30-seat conference room at the Inn where they said we could hold a CD launch party, art show, or book signing/lecture (for me). I didn’t take any pictures of our food, but I will take a photo of Richard in his new shirt whenever he wears it. The weather has been beautiful! Mid-seventies most days and mid-fifties at night–with most of the rain coming in the middle of the night. We mused at the people’s names on the brick walkway on our walk home. And I got some photos of the granite benches and flowers. I hope you enjoy these:

July 2nd – Double wide paradise

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 Murrey
All 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,
