Better Way health conference (part 1)

I started writing this post in JUNE! That’s how far behind I am on writing for my blog, though I have written several posts since. It’s just that I’ve been sooo focused on moving my body and getting out of pain that this two-part series took a back seat in priorities.

The first day of 2-Day Better Way Conference

I’ll simply say that this entire weekend I was immersed in the Better Way Conference via a virtual ticket. The conference was held in Rhode Island and I’d learned about it via Dr. Bruce Lipton (though he was not a presenter there). People I’ve followed for YEARS were involved and the incredible information learned, both from the speakers and insights that dropped into my mind while watching and listening will become a SERIES of blog articles, so stay tuned!

Holistic health information was shared, receipts proving studies and some of the former so-called conspiracy theories were brought front and center, and ways we can ALL work to find a better way through to resolve any health issues were discussed and debated. Shocker, NOT everyone agreed on EVERYTHING either. And that’s always true when it comes to health SCIENCE, but all ideas, perspectives, and philosophies were HONORED and RESPECTED and THAT’S why I LOVED this entire two-day conference and want to be more involved for the next ones… and there will be more as they are offering a FREE franchise!

Cece Doucette gave a fully researched presentation on toxicity in our environment and ways we can protect ourselves from it. She encourages us to quit using WiFi and hard wire every tech device we use (and yes, we can still plug a shielded ethernet cable into our incoming fiber optic cable internet box). –Cece Doucette https://www.linkedin.com/in/cecelia-doucette-09655155
As always, I got heavily involved in the live group chat. I asked questions and offered advice. I learned early on in life, if you don’t participate in things like this, don’t complain later, i.e. “nobody told me.” If you can’t see what I wrote, that I am the anecdotal evidence, I will add it again next, I just wanted to first show you the chat window because this is how I have shared the word about my holistic health book (and my other books) in conferences such as this.
This lady, Kim, asked me for the title of my book. And that’s how this sort of exchange works. Don’t lead with the name of your book, as that’s “selling” and most conferences don’t like to see that in the chat. By the way, I wrote her back and gave her the title, which is Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally (available on Amazon).
Another presentation put a different light on the broad spectrum of negative impacts to human health.
We learned about the Stardust agenda. We do NOT want to dim the sun to cool the planet.
The “Decades of Evidence” went through the whole history of how our environment has been and is being manipulated and not for our better health! These were the key players noted and discussed in the presentation.
So, just what IS in our skies? Check out the chart and do your own research if you’re skeptical.
Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD gave a robust presentation on children’s health, and noted research and factual evidence. It was mind-boggling! I’ll leave you with a couple of his points, out of the many slides he showed.
Root causes slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
Chronic health issues slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
Modern medicine slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
Acute Childhood Inflammatory Conditions slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
This is why I believe the holistic health approach is better! Approach to Symptoms slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
Acute illness slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD
The way modern medicine treats acute inflammatory illness in children can set them up for/contribute to chronic inflammation. And this is what I believe happened to me and made the asthma I’d had from age 6 to my early 40’s worse! Treatment of acute inflammatory illness slide. –Dr. Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD

Stay tune for Part 2 of my conference notes and why I study and practice holistic health for myself and offer advice free-of-charge to others. I’m not practicing medicine by the way, I am an interfaith minister and am simply sharing information.

JIGGLE WIGGLE and mobility movement short videos

As I’ve written about (probably ad naseum at this point), I’ve been doing a series of exercises, Egoscue, some from our local personal trainer, Dr. Kristie Ennis, and now Vanja Moves Method, via her “toolkit.” I’ve been posting video shorts of these movements if you also feel you need to move more. I now realize movement every morning as soon as I wake up is NON NEGOTIABLE for me! I have come to understand that I hurt myself back in January (and then again a couple months ago) because I would go from sitting all day to dancing (sometimes kind of in a frenzy) and it was too much of a shock for my unconditioned and untrained body. Ouch! I also feel the vibration plate contributed, if not directly caused, my shoulder/arm nerve pain–though I followed their instructions and always used it on the lowest setting.

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!

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.)

Getting into the spooky Halloween spirit… uh, maybe?

I don’t really decorate for the holidays, but I did get a witchy hat recently, and I hung the Halloween skull outside the front door (image follows). Oh, and I bought some new little battery lights for the clay ghosts I made last year and moved them to the built-in next to our TV in the living room. I’m now humbly calling that whole built-in (which has three more shelves above what you see in the picture), our ‘ancestral wall’. That is with the exception of an old photo of ME that my dad always loved. It was one of the few items I got from my parent’s home after my mom passed in 2017. Richard loves the ghosts and has asked that I keep the light ON in both–even during the daytime. LOL

Skull decor outside our door, and the ancestral built-in wall shelves holding the lit clay ghosts, along with my kaleidoscope, some jewelry, a selenite star, and small photo of me. –Sheila Murrey

UFO channel

My book club leader turned us onto this YouTube channel (Area 52) several months ago, and I don’t think I’ve shared about it before. I love the set, and Richard loves the interviews! So, check this recent episode out, and see what you think of it: https://youtu.be/30aMHBQ1Avs?si=2o7LeUmtvda54gQK

Moves Method

NEWS! I have now lost 3 inches in my waist circumference! I’m thrilled that the daily movement, as well as eating more protein (mostly by consuming a cup of Greek yogurt daily), has given my metabolism a boost and encouraged my body to release the lard (as my friend Linda always says about her weight loss).

Here’s my most recent post about doing a horse stance and shoulder dislocates 30-Day challenge. Yes, I am attempting to maximize my time. And integrate mind-body, spirit and soul (I get some prayer/meditation time in while moving.)

Instagram post for Day 14: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DenFNePS70l/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&srtk=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

TikTok post for Day 14: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheilaspiralsister/video/7697756606318120206?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7671709394329404942

Currently, only my Instagram and TikTok posts are tracked by Moves Method (for potential payment IF and when I accumulate a certain amount of views, and as of right now, I’m no where near enough views after two months of plugging away at these posts). But I am hopeful AND the potential helps fuel my motivation! Haha! Win-Win!

But I still share to Facebook and my YouTube channel as well, because why not! Eventually, I’ll earn some YouTube revenue. Right? Maybe!

Also, the Moves Method creators, Vanja and Josh are coming out with a new app and supplement! I’m excited to try both and see what else improves for me. If you’re curious, here’s the link to join: https://movesmethod.com/toolkit-ca?a=sheila1&utm_source=growi&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=the-movers&utm_term=sheila1&_atid=uIxBEoTEYWtDKXLKDBxDUFHtvCoeWQ

Balancing out the spookiness

Grabbed this from a Facebook post. I liked it. Maybe you will too. A list of things to say, even if you don’t go to church. –Hannah Williams posted though I don’t know if she’s the original author.
One of my memes that I had to revisit this week after someone told me in a Facebook comment, “Shame on you.” I didn’t reply, pretending I didn’t see the comment. I don’t really know what that phrase is supposed to mean anyway, especially coming from someone who knows nothing about me other than I am giving Russell Brand the benefit of the doubt in regards to his trial. I understand a lot of women are up in arms about “no means no,” but since I wasn’t there, and neither were they, and he was quite admittedly under the influence of his addictions at the time (drugs, alcohol, and sex), and the accusers waited 20 years to bring a lawsuit, I am simply not going to grab a fire lit torch and start chanting to burn him at the stake. For God’s sake.

On the lighter side for Halloween; Diving deep re: UFOs; Multiverse in our DNA?

My daughter and granddaughter had an art class at the studio where my daughter works, and made these beautiful Halloween scenes out of fused glass. I knew at least a few of you would like them (Dawn and Linda!). Ha! I have not been sketching this week, as I’ve been trying to learn CapCut for making my Instagram/TikTok/Facebook/YouTube mobility videos to promote the Moves Method. I have been using Edits, and I’ve pretty much mastered it now. Thus, I thought I’d drive myself crazy by learning another new video editing too. Ugh! LOL

Deep dive on UFOs

I’m reading this currently (via Lee Clausen’s Substack): https://leeclausen.substack.com/api/v1/post/pdf?postId=155306925

Dr. Greer’s Unacknowledged: An Expose of the World’s Greatest Secret, “We’re not alone. We never were.” speaks to the attempts of the emerging planetary culture to recover lost Indigenous knowledge. According to Greer (2006) in addressing the topic of universal peace, “We are in a cosmic moment. Humans today—albeit in classified programs—have the means to travel among the stars. So, we must evolve from a human oriented spirituality to genuine universal spirituality”

Screenshot: My comment re: interconnectedness and Stephen Spielberg’s movie, Disclosure Day and how it all connects with what my sister told me (that I wrote about in the book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection).

To wrap up this section, and to let you know, BOTH of the full length songs I created for the Falling Consciously conference are now on my YouTube channel. Here’s the first song, Dragon Dreamers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meZiT_1IQO0

And the second song is, We Rise Tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMXQplXi8_A

Multiverse in our DNA?

My friend Teri Young shared this the other day on Facebook, and I just had to share it with you ALL! Read, and think on it. Let me know your thoughts.

Moves Method

NEWS! One of my Moves Method short videos hit over 4,000 views the other day!

A recent mobility video of mine–showing the corn maze we went to the other day, where I walked 2,000 steps! https://youtube.com/shorts/tEuHpvrnonQ?si=1DQ7VZr5de4fk0pZ

I got through the corn maze just fine and didn’t even get winded! My son-in-law and daughter (both were still recuperating from a bug, he actually had pneumonia!) and the three of us completed the maze in 20 minutes–even with turning around a couple times! The three granddaughters went on their own and it took them 35 minutes longer to get out of the maze! Kids! I thought they’d beat us out. Nope!

Now, I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost, but I’m feeling so much better! I’m down almost 3 inches in my waist circumference now, so maybe I’ve released 20 pounds? I know all my clothes are looser than they were last year!

Get in on this deal, while it lasts and join me in the Moves Method. It’s super supportive mobility training group full of people over 40, 50, 60, and even 70 years of age!

My beach sketch; Falling Consciously Online Conference wrap up with 2 NEW SONGS; Moves Method videos are booming!

If you missed Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall “Falling Consciously” conference, then you missed my share of the two NEW SONGS! So, here’s a sneak peek. I’m still working on getting each full song on YouTube with its own video: https://youtu.be/vMYCMKNmNzk?si=ObOmNaBF3NwidhmL

I had an amazing time on the post conference wrap up (that Michael Kopf held on his channel a few days after Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall conference). I was ecstatic to be included in the lineup because I so enjoyed Daryl and Joshua’s presentations at the conference! Now, here I am speaking with Daryl James and Joshua Shapiro: https://www.youtube.com/live/0DiRaEOtxag?si=hOVkoutJ6PSJKP0o

Beach sketch

I continue, albeit slowly, to do some painted sketches of my husband’s artwork. I don’t have an art alcove like my dear soul artist friend, Linda Lewis of Creative Artworks blog… so I sit and sketch in stages in my recliner, usually while my husband is watching something on YouTube on our big screen TV. He will peek over at what I’m doing, but he’s good about waiting until I take a break to comment. And I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised that he’s so complimentary!

My husband, Richard Murrey, was a professional artist for over 40 years and an art director for a time for Sea World, Disney, and NASA, so I was kind of shy to start sketching. Thankfully, I persevered! I am now, using a smaller sketchpad, though that was my mistake when I ordered it, so I get to practice resizing each piece. Eventually, I may try my hand at sketching without using a model, or I will simply watercolor paint.

I begin with a pencil sketch, then use a marker to establish bold lines. –Richard Murrey artwork underneath, my sketch on top. –Sheila Murrey
This is how I sit to sketch; all my pens, pencils, and paints are in a rattan tote on the floor down beside my chair. My sketch is top left. –Sheila Murrey + The framed artwork on my lap. –Richard Murrey
I finished the painted sketch with oil pastels and watercolor paints. I really wanted the water to flow, but when I saw some of the black marker bleeding into the paint, I dabbed it a bit and decided to stop. Richard said he thought the bleed over was fine. I don’t know though. I must be picky. –Sheila Murrey

Moves Method

I’ve been so humbly grateful that my Moves Method short videos have been taking off! Many now have over 1,000 views, on YouTube, as well as nearly that many on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Of course, doing my own mobility training, recording some, learning how best to edit them and get them onto each of the platforms, has taken a fair amount of time, so I have not been keeping up with my reading (both blogs/books). And for that, I apologize. You know me though, I’ll spiral back around to read. And winter is coming!

I’ve got my tent sauna setup again after moving it to the other side of my upstairs spa room, so I’ll read while I’m in the sauna in the evenings. I have also been experimenting with new recipes and happy to say, I’m between 2.5 to 3 inches of waist size loss and my clothes are baggy on me now (I don’t weigh myself, so not sure how much weight I’ve lost). I am in love with the Moves Method though!

My episode on AnchorHaven’s podcast; Falling Consciously Online Conference–THIS Saturday; Moves Method–Day 23; Best snack recipe!

I had the BEST time with Julia AnchorHaven on her YouTube podcast last week! If you missed it, it’s a keeper! Check it out: https://youtu.be/hoX27eE0L8w?si=fTiMp2nJ23VSy9Qy

At this moment, my episode has 86 views, and I’m going to check it in a few days to see if we’ve grown that number… so “I’m watching YOU”! Haha!

FYI: here’s my first podcast with Julia: https://www.youtube.com/live/NkqKRieZUpA?si=Ri5UZWbQ_VKERMRs

Julia and I are both returning to contribute to Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall “Falling Consciously” conference that’s coming up THIS SATURDAY! Yes, we’re sooo excited!! I’ll be offering healing with two new songs, created especially for the Dragon Dreamers Soul Tribe! Gina has reduced ticket prices by half now, so there’s no excuse to get your ticket and join us Live on September 19th, 2026. Here’s the link to get your ticket, use SHEMUR too: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

Falling Consciously Saturday September 19th, 2026 Gina Virginia Casella Online Conference.

Be sure to order the Falling Consciously September 19th Conference ticket (as the December Conference ticket is available via that same link). Use my code at check out, SHEMUR too. Please and thank you!

Because of a last minute change in our Saturday schedule, Gina asked me if I could update the video where I share both of the new songs for the Falling Consciously conference. I did, and Richard even helped me by giving me four new/better graphic images (from AI). I had a technical glitch in the iMovie software that I use, so I had to nearly recreate the video. Whew! But it’s done and delivered to Gina as of last night.

Thus, I am SUPER EXCITED to share the songs (one minute of each) with you during the Saturday conference!! Full versions of both songs will be available at a later date on YouTube, but I really want to get your LIVE comments to the songs on Saturday! It’s going to be great fun!

Moves Method

The shoulder/arm nerve pain is GONE now, and I am sooo thankful! Yes, the situation healed, whether it was an impingement or ??? I don’t know, but I’m all better–back to NORMAL. I’ve also lost over TWO INCHES from my waist, and feeling so much stronger!

Here’s my two videos re: the Moves Method that I’ve been doing daily (yes, I was doing it even through the nerve pain I’d had–just focused on lower body moves). The first video is the work one can do BEFORE the deep squat, to strengthen the ankles.

Day 23 video #1: https://youtube.com/shorts/JZT0AI-TUZk?si=NVAlPyK_2LsADi2T

The second is of my deep squat today, while NOW attempting to rise UP onto my toes!

Day 23 video #2: https://youtube.com/shorts/NZZyC3zJBxk?si=M2GBpiZONY_FYqej

I truly hope many of my friends, family, and blog/book readers join me in the Moves Method commUnity! You won’t believe what a supportive and nurturing group of others there are, as well as the Moves Method trainers, who are always there to encourage and inspire us onward and upward! The introductory toolkit is only $27. And that’s been the best $27 I’ve probably ever spent for what I’ve gotten out of it thus far. If you know you need this, here’s the link to join: https://movesmethod.com/toolkit-ca?a=sheila1&utm_source=growi&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=the-movers&utm_term=sheila1&_atid=uIxBEoTEYWtDKXLKDBxDUFHtvCoeWQ

And yes, I get a little credit if you join, but I DO really want you there with me.

Best Snack Recipe

I don’t know how I didn’t know how much protein Greek yogurt has in it, but I didn’t know, until NOW. And though I didn’t like yogurt much, unless it was loaded with sugar (fruit), I have been making this little recipe every day for more than a week and it’s turned into my favorite of all time!

Having been someone who could live on potato chips and French onion dip… and denied myself of that deliciousness for years because “potato chips and dip are fattening,” I’m here to tell you THIS totally replaces that as a snack but gives me the SAME delightful pleasure!

  • 1/2 C organic Greek yogurt (I’m using is pictured next, Cabot Creamery)
  • 1 T onion powder (more or less to suit your taste buds–EXPERIMENT!
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1/2 T Dill weed (this makes it as far as I concerned and I probably use more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • pinch cayenne and pinch pink salt

Stir the yogurt and herbs all together well and add in slices/chunks of fresh cucumber, onion, cherry tomatoes, or any/all other veggies you like and have a go!

Second podcast with Julia AnchorHaven; Falling Consciously Online Conference Sept. 19th; Moves Method long vid for Day 11; Site menu updated

Julia AnchorHaven is having me back for a second time on her YouTube podcast! Woo-hoo! That will happen on Saturday. September 12th about 9am eastern time.

Julia’s YouTube channel link is: https://www.youtube.com/@anchorhaven

If you missed my first podcast with Julia, here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/live/NkqKRieZUpA?si=Ri5UZWbQ_VKERMRs

Julia and I have both been speakers on Gina Virginia Casella’s Summer conference, and she’s coming back as monitor for the Fall conference and I’m coming back as a healer with two new songs, created especially for the Dragon Dreamers Soul Tribe! So, if you resonate with all of this, you’ll definitely want to get your ticket and join us Live on September 19th, 2026. I hope you’ll sign up to get more information about it and consider purchasing a ticket ($60 Canadian). Here’s the link: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

Falling Consciously Saturday September 19th, 2026 Gina Virginia Casella Online Conference.

Be sure to order the Falling Consciously September 19th Conference ticket (as the December Conference ticket is available via that same link). Use my code at check out, SHEMUR to save a bit and funnel a bit to me too. Please and thank you!

I’ve completed the video where I share both of the new songs for our Falling Consciously conference and am really excited to share those! I’ve also created two new videos of both songs for later release on YouTube, but I really want to get LIVE reactions to the songs. I think that would be great fun!

News and new links

I’ve been busy updating links (both at the end of this article and on the WordPress menu of this site). Since taking on the role of ‘promoter’ for the Moves Method (along with a few hundred others), I’ve been quite busy for a couple hours each day, both doing my own mobility training, recording it, and then creating promo videos to share on Instagram and TikTok. I also share these videos to Facebook and my YouTube channel. I will be paid a commission based on views, likes, if a video goes viral, and any sales made via my link, and so far, I’m exciting watching the stats grow! I can’t tell you how MOTIVATING this has all been! Especially getting to be creative with Instagram and TikTok, learning Edits, Canva, and other such creative tools to craft professional videos for the Moves Method.

I’m continuing heal the nerve pain I’ve been experiencing for the last few weeks. I’m continuing to use my shiatsu massage pillow, though I’ve not felt any more release from the nerve impingement. And I did get another neck massage pillow and I’m not sure I like the way it provides massage (and it’s loud), but I love the actual pillow part of it and could sleep on it if needed, without the massage on–plus it offers heat and cold settings, which really work!

The shoulder/arm nerve pain is nearly gone now, and I am sooo thankful! The nerve tonic from Florida helped, though it did not relieve the nerve pain as quickly or as obviously as the first formulation had. Christina actually added to her formula (St. John’s Wort was added and a few other things) this time for me, but it was more expensive too. I’m not taking as much of it this time as I did the first time. Call me frugal. The DMSO gel was a disappointment–it didn’t really do much and smelled bad. But I used it daily for several days just to “try anything.” I do believe the Kailo, a reusable plastic pain relief patch has helped a lot! Initially, I got about 50% relief while wearing the Kailo and I continue to use it though I’m at nearly 90% relief. I’m sleeping all night now, finally! As we know sleep is necessary for healing. Thus, all the way around, I am feeling better! And I am down almost two inches on my waist from when I began doing the Moves Method mobility training. And THAT’S EXCITING!

Moves Method

Here’s yesterday’s long form video (7 minutes) that I made in Canva explaining why I’m addicted to the Moves Method (and how it’s been helping me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ANU0pFeRq8

I truly hope many of my friends, family, and blog/book readers join me in the Moves Method commUnity! You won’t believe what a supportive and nurturing group of others there are, as well as the Moves Method trainers, who are always there to encourage and inspire us onward and upward! The introductory toolkit is only $27. And that’s been the best $27 I’ve probably ever spent for what I’ve gotten out of it thus far. If you know you need this, here’s the link to join: https://movesmethod.com/toolkit-ca?a=sheila1&utm_source=growi&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=the-movers&utm_term=sheila1&_atid=uIxBEoTEYWtDKXLKDBxDUFHtvCoeWQ

And yes, I get a little credit if you join, but I DO really want you there with me.

Podcast with Julia AnchorHaven; the Falling Consciously Online Conference in September; More on DMSO

Did you catch my YouTube podcast with Julia AnchorHaven? Julia did a sound healing on me that helped me a LOT! Here’s the link to watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/NkqKRieZUpA?si=Ri5UZWbQ_VKERMRs

During our conversation, we promoted Gina Virginia Casella’s new Fall conference that’s coming September 19th, 2026. I hope you’ll sign up to get more information about it and consider purchasing a ticket ($60 Canadian). Here’s the link: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

Be sure to order the Falling Consciously September 19th Conference ticket (as the December Conference ticket is available via that same link). Use my code at check out, SHEMUR to save a bit and funnel a bit to me too. Please and thank you!

I’m not going to be speaking at the conference this time, I gave the keynote speech last time (which is also available via that same link and it’s free to watch that if you’d like). But I am offering two new songs for this Falling Consciously conference and I’m working on the videos for those now. I’m really excited to share those!

My sleep really improved after the sound healing Julia did, and a few minutes of shiatsu massage from the new massage pillow that arrived. Woo-hoo! I could actually feel a bone slipping back into place during that massage! I guess that must have been the issue, because now, I am mostly only sore in my back from it having been out of place for the last two weeks! The shoulder/arm nerve pain is greatly reduced today. The nerve tonic from Florida is still its way (and the DMSO gel, plus another kind of patch, and that will be good for it/when this situation happens again. I would rather have all the potential solutions here at my disposal than wait until I am in paid again to order them!

About DMSO

Debra asked what DMSO is, so I wanted to answer her and offer the doctor’s information whom I took a few classes with a while back. DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a clear, sulfur-containing liquid chemical made as a byproduct of making paper. It is a strong solvent that mixes well with water and can pass quickly through human skin. It is used in biology labs to freeze and protect cells, tissues, and stem cells from ice damage and in hospitals to treat a painful bladder condition called interstitial cystitis. It is FDA approved as a prescription bladder wash (RIMSO-50). DMSO has been explored and used off-label or in alternative medicine as a topical treatment for muscle and joint pain, though safety and effectiveness for unapproved uses vary, and education and care must be taken when using topically, as DMSO can carry other chemicals or toxins through the skin along with it, and may cause skin irritation, garlic-like breath, or a bad taste in the mouth.

A sailboat watercolor and oil pastel sketch; new podcast dropped this morning; DMSO

I began a sketch yesterday, but didn’t finish it until today (Tuesday’s are our busy day around here, picking up groceries and running errands). I’m fairly pleased with it, but always feel I could do better. I think for me, right now, it’s getting the sizing correct. For instance, I think I got the line between the water and the sky right, and the size of the sailboat. But the white watercolor paint doesn’t do anything on the page, so typically, for anything white I leave it alone and let the paper shine through. This time though, I tried to make the circle of the sun bright yellow. I wish I had left paint off that circle so the white would have shown through. Oh well, at least I’m learning to let go of the need to “get it right.”

This artwork is one of my husband’s 100+ framed paintings collection–and it’s always been a favorite of mine.

At this point, I’m down to my last 100 old blog posts to update with a new URL link, so that project is going well.

But wait, there’s more! Haha! Early this morning I did a Live YouTube podcast with Julia AnchorHaven that went really well! I am still in pain too, and almost felt I should cancel, but I am so glad I persevered because right from the start Julia did a sound healing on me that I think helped me a LOT! I told her later, this was a priceless conversation! I also got to try reframing a couple of stories too, and so I feel better talking about some otherwise powerful subject matter.

Here’s the link to watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/NkqKRieZUpA?si=Ri5UZWbQ_VKERMRs

That conversation was to promote Gina Virginia Casella’s new Fall conference. And yes, I’ll write about post all about that (probably tomorrow). I think it’s really going to be an amazing conference and I’m looking forward to it! All men this time (as speakers), and I am offering two new songs.

I’m continuing to sleep better each night, though still dealing with the shoulder/arm/back pain. The nerve tonic from Florida is on its way (and the DMSO gel, plus I ordered yet another kind of patch–why not?) and so, all of that feels exciting too! Plus, I ordered a new massage pillow kind of thing too. And this is what happens when I am in pain, I reach for everything and anything to find relief. Ugh.

FYI: Debra asked what DMSO is, so I wanted to answer her and offer the doctor’s information whom I took a few classes with a while back. DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a clear, sulfur-containing liquid chemical made as a byproduct of making paper. It is a strong solvent that mixes well with water and can pass quickly through human skin.

A watercolor and oil pastel fractal design

I played around with the watercolors yesterday, after working up a fractal type of design from a page out of an old calendar. I couldn’t replicate the fractals, but I loved how the watercolors flowed over the oil pastels on the page! I may make more of this kind of art!

Calendar fractal design (top); My “fractals in blue” oil pastel/watercolor art. –Sheila Murrey

In the coming days, I’ll be sketching more images out of my husband’s 100+ framed paintings collection–so stayed tuned. I’ve picked out several of those paintings to begin sketching after I get a new sketch pad (it’s ordered). In the meantime, hubby had some huge art paper upstairs and he’s given me some of those sheets (I cut them down to make the paper more manageable).

Meanwhile, I’ve been updating over 300 old blog posts because one of the URLs (website links) was defunct. I knew it, but had been procrastinating correcting it. Ugh. BORING and tedious! But I found a way to make it fun by adding in a new sentence to each article. Did you know our old articles still get views? And I mean, some of mine have gotten anywhere from 3 to 55 new views in the last 30 days?!? I was shocked!

As of last night, I’m now sleeping better (the shoulder/arm/back pain I have been experiencing is letting up more and more–though it’s still there). I ordered a new DMSO gel that’s supposed to relieve nerve pain because as of yet, I’ve not found a good inexpensive comfrey cream. It should arrive tomorrow or the next day. I’m also still waiting on my nerve tonic from Florida.

Two new sketches using pencil, marker and oil pastels

I did two new sketches from out of my husband’s 100+ framed paintings collection and thought you’d enjoy them.

This is my butterfly sketch in progress, because I had no idea that I would finish it yesterday due to all the white dots (so much black to color in), and it did take some time:

Butterfly artwork of Richard’s on the left; my version of the butterfly sketch on paper on the right (in progress). Though I did make a little mistake on the top of the rose, and even laid awake last night thinking of actually cutting some paper and gluing it over the mistake, I’ll leave it alone. –Sheila Murrey
Finished butterfly sketch. I am having fun trying to decide where and when to use the watercolor paints. –Sheila Murrey
Indian chief artwork of Richard’s on the left; my version of the chief sketch on paper on the right. I started this one with the watercolor as I guessed where his face would be–and yes, I had to make some adjustments when I drew over the pencil with the brown marker, so not all of the watercolor got included on his face, though I think it worked. I might go back and add a bit of pink watercolor to the feather, not sure yet.I also now see where I could add more black to the lower left of the sketch. Hmm –Sheila Murrey
Native American Indian Chief sketch. Hubby said I did a good job. And that made my day! –Sheila Murrey

Thankfully, I’m now sleeping a bit better (the shoulder/arm/back pain I have been experiencing is letting up more and more). I am continuing to seek out a good inexpensive comfrey cream. Let me know if you know of a good one.

Tiger sketch using pencil, marker and oil pastels

I looked through some of my husband’s 100+ framed paintings to see if I thought I might attempt a sketch of a few more, recall the lions:

This is a face on tiger. I love Richard’s artwork. He always creates a mat for his art as well, so we just print and frame. Easy! He used to sell these for $100 each, but has taken his artwork down due to low sales and too many scam-like emails coming in to him.

Tiger artwork of Richard’s on top; my version of the tiger sketch on paper. I got a little likeness but feel I could have done a better job at mapping out where the white needed to be. I used the watercolors only on the nose and add some “hairy” strokes. –Sheila Murrey

The shoulder/arm/back pain I have been experiencing is starting to ease, though today (and it was our busy grocery day), my arm has had a dull ache all day. Ugh! I found an arnica roll on at Walmart and giving it a try. I am continuing to seek out a good inexpensive comfrey cream. Let me know if you know of a good one. Thanks Julie (over at: https://emotionalpeace.wordpress.com) for the prayers! I chatted with Christina at Herbal-Cottage this morning and she’s ending me a bottle of nerve relief tonic (she was only out of stock on her website)! Yay!

The watercolors I use now

Thanks to Walmart extending me the offer to become a Recognized Reviewer, I have been searching their 1,000 items list for the last few days and thinking about all the things we need, or want, plus what we might give as holiday gifts, especially to the granddaughters. I’m beyond excited to know that because I’ve freely given Walmart hundreds (I think it’s over 1,000 by now actually), mostly on food items we’ve bought from them in the two years we’ve lived in New Hampshire, that NOW, I will save us at least a few hundred dollars a year by getting free products just for reviewing said items. Yippee!!

Plus, I can order some items that have not yet been released on Walmart.com! So, I finally found a great watercolor set (and I had been looking and checking different stores online for a while). What a FUN retirement “job” to have now, right? And currently, I am an elite Yelp reviewer too, but I digress. I’m a writer, right? And a writer writes, as we say. So there’s that.

I had been wanting to try some watercolor painting for months, since my blogger pal, and artist, Linda, has been painting her sketches with watercolor paints. She suggested I get a children’s set of watercolors to begin with and that’s pretty much what I did.

I’ve already left my review of these watercolors on the Walmart site, so this is simply an extra post to show you all, my readers, the background on how I found these and what they are. And it’s all thanks to Linda’s encouragement. Aren’t I lucky?

You can get to know Linda too, if you’d like. And I’d highly recommend it. Here’s her site: https://creativeartworksblog.com

I’m so thankful for my new mantra: “Art communicates more than words, builds new neural pathways (in the brain), and connects us all!”

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. Doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling integrating ride to better health, doing with more ease and less effort-ing, to help us find and sustain the JOY in our lives! (Sprinkling Gratitude all around while we’re at it.)
