Going to be on a new podcast; plus a couple sketches and conferences

I’m going to be on a new podcast this Wednesday! I’m so excited!! I’m new to Julia and she’s new to me, having met through Gina Virginia Casella (see end of this article for more regarding her Dragon Dreamers conference on June 13th). And from what I’ve seen on Julia’s channel, I should fit right in! Ha! You’ll have to watch some and see what you think!

Julia’s based in the UK (check out her podcast at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dxSbUUxHo5XlWhf9G4ltQ

I particularly liked this episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfO14zHCLCE

I Am Infinite Awareness; a Fractal of Omniscience. And so are YOU. We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey

I’m working on a new video book review, part 1 for the daily devotional I’ve been reading (that was a gift from my best friend since 4th grade), Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Next, I’ll do a video book review, part 1 on The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. After that, I’ll get one done on Russell Brand’s new book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days. I’ll then 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

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:

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!

Crossovers music show #1: https://youtu.be/tzc56nat5BM?si=rMNWOINYVH2Oto6H

Crossovers music show #2: https://youtu.be/ojn1hHglOGc?si=w3KUBqbwQhSPJnbt

Crossovers music show #4: https://youtu.be/8CPi63KtbLY?si=3DL3dPSRruQ9UnPj

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 first sketch is one I liked of hers from a while back that I’ve shared a sketch of before but that I thought I could improve. So, I drew this again and colored in with the oil pastels. Now, the big difference is that there’s no line between her face and neck. LOL Yes, little things make me happy!

Next, I picked up this sketch at our local sushi mart and have no idea who drew it. But I was drawn to it and so, I took a photo of it and sketched it at home. I will show the employees at the sushi place next time we go and see if they like my version.

Attended 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!

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!

I have restarted JIGGLE WIGGLE!

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

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

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

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

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

Building boundaries so we don’t absorb too much, especially for empaths; plus radio shows and sketches

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

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

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

Current happenings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AND

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

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

My last sketches

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

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

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

Our NEW music radio show: Unsolicited Radio

Our NEW YouTube channel where you can see/listen to our music radio show, “Unsolicited Radio” (showcasing Richard’s original songs) is GROWING! We’ve got more than 60 subscribers now! We’re reaching for 500 subscribers so… help us out! Okay?

We’ve put a list of our original songs together in a format that marries the songs with some of Richard’s humorous (quirky, wacky, zany) ads in between a few songs to break it up! Don’t worry, the ads are for fictitious items. We’re not selling anything, yet, by doing these radio shows (other than the songs). It’s our way to help get the songs out to more people, and perhaps, even the “right” people, such as filmmakers, TV show producers, sound engineers, up and coming musical artists who are looking for original songs to sing/play, etc. We’ve never sought the limelight to be performers, simply songwriters.

I hope you’ll subscribe to our new channel and help us go viral! It’s FREE! And it means the world to us to get our 1,434 original songs out into the world! Thank you ALL so much! I’m excited about this!! Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/@Unsolicited_Radio

Our FIRST livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/DqyE9js0Fnc?si=WB-9a61B9Srefk0l

I’m working through my self assessed peeved energy. And I know that’s what caused me to wake up at 1:30am last night due to a nightmare. (I dreamt I got hacked and lost all the money in my accounts!) Ugh! Nightmares can be terrifying! I’ve simply had so much going on with the need to rehab my body–okay, thankfully only a few parts, and Amazon printing issues with the 600+ page paperback. The YouTube copyright issues. Even the art cast not turning out the way I’d worked so hard on to make my first attempt at that be pretty! Why did I have such high expectations? Whew! See? I’m working my Integrating the Spirals process, so I can let this “peeved-ness” go!

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.)

Integrating the Spirals: Self assessment and upcoming book reviews

I had a bad night last night. Wait. Let me reframe that. I had a restless night last night. I woke up about 1:30am after not going to sleep until around 11pm.

We’d had a fun evening out with our daughter and son-in-law, which is rare for us because they have a 14-year old and 9-year old twins. But I do think we’ll get out a bit more often because the girls all get along well and the eldest doesn’t have to do much for the twins–as long as they’ve all eaten something first. LOL

So the four of us adults walked two blocks to our neighborhood Italian restaurant (if you follow me on Yelp and read my food reviews there, you’ll know where we eat). We had drinks and delicious food and lots of lively conversation! Then we all walked home. Yes, we WALKED, not crawled. So, there’s that. None of us over imbibe, which is a good thing. Now that our daughter and son-in-law are in their 40s, they’ve learned, as we did years ago, that drinking to the point of crawling home (or to a hotel), or needing to sleep on the bathroom floor, isn’t fun. And it isn’t healthy. Of course I know many of you would say no amount of alcohol is healthy either, and you’d probably be right–though Guinness beer has been brewed since 1759. And no, I didn’t drink Guinness beer last night, I got a rather mild “mule” cocktail in a copper cup (a favorite drink to get “out” since I’m still debating buying some old copper mugs at our local consignment shop). I digress.

A lot of my herbal tinctures are made with alcohol, so again, I default to my saying of “levels, layers, doses, and degrees.” And a splash of cold water on the face, or turning the water on COLD at the end of a shower is sooo invigorating–and healthy! But that makes me think of my holistic health book, and not the point of this blog article.

So, what is the point of this blog article?

Book review videos

In the middle of the night, while praying, and shedding some tears over several poignant memories I had of visits with my mom and dad (before their passing), and then reminding myself that I know where they are as explained in my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection.

After the tears passed, I went into meditation and BOOM! A great idea dropped IN! I am reading multiple books and just did that video about the art class… soooo… I’m going to start doing book reviews on VIDEO! Ha! Here’s a taste of what I’m going to put out: https://youtu.be/-H3YrlxZN7U

Exercising

I also decided that exercising first thing in the morning, like my friend Linda Lewis does, is NON-FREAKING-NEGOTIABLE! Today is the third day that I’ve exercised with Dr. Kristie Ennis (who is local to us, but she only offers Zoom classes). And she’s on YouTube – here’s her link: https://www.youtube.com/c/kristieennis I put one or two of her videos on and workout. Tada!

I just must do this as soon as I wake up, either in bed or next to the bed, or it’s not going to happen. Then, I can add some more movement like the JIGGLE WIGGLE later on and record it for my channel, etc. after I get the back/shoulder/toes in good shape again, as every time I’ve tried lately to do that again, I’ve hurt again. Ugh!

Upcoming metaphysical conference

Grab a ticket if you want to see my keynote speech and full day of metaphysical speakers on Gina’s upcoming Dragon Dreamers June 13th full-day conference. Here’s the link for that: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

To get to know Gina first, before you commit to a conference ticket, check out her YouTube channel interviews. Of those, I highly recommend her interview with Missy Hill #17 at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUexA69x4O0 and the interview with ME, Sheila Murrey #18: https://www.youtube.com/live/mDHSHSmZeZU?si=vpFP9tL-7mnW-fw3

While listening a second time to Missy’s interview with Gina, I left the following comment:

“Epigenetics matters” is sooo tweet able, Gina! Yes! Empaths are sponges and until we learn that we can either build boundaries to not absorb what we don’t want, yet, OR we come to know that EVERYTHING works FOR our good, either to grow us or glow us like a slow burn candle… well then, we may FEEL too much (too much emotions), or react inappropriately and turn others off. And when we turn others off, it may take us YEARS (if ever), to reestablish those relationships–whether friend or family, such as when adult children cut off their parents because their parents have come on too strong (even if the parents think they’re good intentioned). Ah! There’s so much great stuff here! And Missy, I was certainly a “run-on sentence writer” when I was in school. I also tend to talk too much and over share. But I’ve come to embrace it, and breathe through some of it after realizing “We each learn at differing rates of speed.” I love your self assessment too, Missy, on how good of a singer you are–though you’re probably better than you think! Remember even the pros have people talking over them when they sing! I’ve noticed this in small and large venues. I could talk for hours with you on the moon landings too (having worked at Kennedy Space Center for 6.5 years! Ha! Love this conversation and I get more out of each listen! Kudos to you both!

She even gets into talking about her time out west, Joseph Smith Jr. ghost stories, the Biltmore mansion and hurricane Helene and how it changed the landscape of Asheville, NC and PLASMA! I definitely want to hear more, or even have a conversation or two with Missy Hill!

Our FIRST livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/DqyE9js0Fnc?si=WB-9a61B9Srefk0l

I’ll attempt another livestream at 3pm eastern time TODAY! So, go ahead and subscribe and YouTube will notify you a few minutes before the show goes LIVE. If for any reason it doesn’t work, I’ll try again around 6pm. I think both of those are good hours to livestream, so if today doesn’t go smoothly, I’ll try again tomorrow and each day thereafter. Deal?

I’m working through my self assessed peeved energy. And I know that’s what caused me to wake up at 1:30am last night due to a nightmare. (I dreamt I got hacked and lost all the money in my accounts!)

Integrating the Spirals: Fun mug art and art class debacle

Okay, I’m back with more fun mugs, if for no other reason than to get my spirits up after that debacle of an art class last night! Ha! I made a little video of it, so you can laugh! I’m laughing now… really! I don’t know why I made such a big deal within my own head about it last night. I think I was depressed. I could have pivoted more quickly but because I am now in “protection” mode regarding my back/shoulder/nerve down my arm, I am sensitive about all that rolling out of the clay, and how it COULD set my arm/shoulder back. Now, today it was only my back that was sore, thankfully! Imagine, being thankful for a sore back?!? I must be nuts.

As I wrote in part 1 – https://sheilamurrey.net/2026/05/14/integrating-the-spirals-honoring-family-connections-and-fun-mug-art/ here’s the rest of the digital mug art that my brother-in-law created (he specializes in creating 3D digital art graphics–though Tony has corrected me that he did use AI to create these images.

My sweet friend Linda (over at: https://creativeartworksblog.com ), loves fun mugs–so I found these to share, especially because she shares fun mug images over on her blog.

As for last night, I did have a good time with my daughter. True, we didn’t talk very much. Nor did we get a photo together. It must bother me more than I thought, that thing about not getting a photo together. Her boss, the art studio owner even came around and asked/took pictures of other participants. But I guess because I was doing art and trying to guard against overdoing it, I didn’t think to stop and say, YES (in order to get a photo of my daughter and me)! Ugh.

It feels like I sabotage myself sometimes. Duh. Ya think? (Keep scrolling to get to the video.)

3D graphic fun mug images

Tony did an exceptional job on the following 3D graphic art renderings:

Art class video

Here’s a short 6-minute video (that includes videos and images) from last night’s flower casting art class. My daughter treated me to this class as part of my Mother’s Day (she also made me a multifaceted fused glass turtle sun catcher). You’ll hear her talking me through part of the clay rolling process.

Upcoming conference

I found out that you need a ticket if you want to enjoy my keynote speech and the full day of speakers on Gina’s upcoming Dragon Dreamers June conference. Here’s the link for that: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras And if you want to see Gina and get to know her a bit first, before you commit to a ticket, you can check out her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella

Our NEW YouTube channel for showcasing Richard’s original songs is doing great! We’ve got more than 50 subscribers now and I’m aiming to have 500 soon… hey, a girl can HOPE! Come on now… hehe!

Our NEW music radio show: Unsolicited Radio

Announcing our new music radio show, “Unsolicited Radio”!

We’ve put a list of our original songs together in a format that marries the songs with some of Richard’s humorous (quirky, wacky, zany) ads in between a few songs to break it up! Don’t worry, the ads are for fictitious items. We’re not selling anything, yet, by doing these radio shows (other than the songs). It’s our way to help get the songs out to more people, and perhaps, even the “right” people, such as filmmakers, TV show producers, sound engineers, up and coming musical artists who are looking for original songs to sing/play, etc. We’ve never sought the limelight to be performers, simply songwriters.

I hope you’ll subscribe to our new channel and help us go viral! It’s FREE! And it means the world to us to get our 1,434 original songs out into the world! Thank you ALL so much! I’m excited about this!! Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/@Unsolicited_Radio

Our FIRST livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/DqyE9js0Fnc?si=WB-9a61B9Srefk0l

Yes, I had to do multiple livestreams on that first day, and I explain why at the beginning of each. Richard wants me to delete a couple of them but I don’t want to lose even 2 views! Ha!

I posted our second show yesterday and didn’t livestream it because of what happened at the end of the last livestream on 3-14-2026. Ugh. I know copyright protections are in place to protect us, but it’s OUR original music and YouTube didn’t even tell me what the issue was! I didn’t know they’d stop a livestream! And yes, they did send me an email for the FIVE copyright issues on the second show, but they still let the video play (isn’t that weird? Almost like they KNOW we own the copyright, but they’re showing they are doing their due diligence–or something). Ugh ((I think I’m just peeved a bit about everything right now. Amazon with the book printing. YouTube with the copyright stuff. My art cast not turning out properly. And just before writing this, my DAR Zoom never happened because they got the date wrong on it, even though I notified them ASAP that the date was wrong when they sent the email invite! I don’t know. Maybe it’s me. I screw up too. I gotta chill out.))

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.)

Integrating the Spirals: Honoring family connections and fun mug art!

I’m sharing some fun mug art that my brother-in-law created (he’s an extremely talented digital artist, specializing in 3D graphics though, after writing the second blog article on this and sharing it with said, brother-in-law, he did say he created these with AI. I am sharing these over a couple of posts, as he sent my husband and I a good many of these artist renderings.

My good friend Linda (over at: https://creativeartworksblog.com ), loves fun mugs–and shares some on her blog that she finds on Etsy. So, I remembered I had all of these images from Tony (my brother-in-law) and I told her I’d share them. So, Linda, these are for YOU! Of course, everyone else is welcome to take a look as well. (And please comment if you like them to give Tony some love.)

I am also sharing these because I have to admit, my brother-in-law have not always seen “eye to eye.” But since I have come back to Christ, I will say, I do have more in common with him. And that’s good! It’s good to be able to understand one another, and not let our ego (like I probably did) get in the way. I often say, “I’m only human” and that “Nobody’s perfect.” (And yes, that’s my humble admission that I am far from perfect.)

3D graphic fun mug images

I think Tony did an exceptional job on the following 3D graphic art renderings and wish we could get at least some of them made, either out of clay or 3D printing material. Wouldn’t that be cool?

Brother-in-law Tony Murrey’s graphic mugs – group 1
Brother-in-law Tony Murrey’s graphic mugs – group 2
Brother-in-law Tony Murrey’s graphic mugs – group 3
Brother-in-law Tony Murrey’s graphic mugs – group 4

I have four more to share, so let me know if you like these and want to see them, and I’ll share them in another post soon!

And after you go check out what I’m about to announce, do also follow Gina’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella

Our son-in-law mentioned live-streaming (on YouTube) to us the other day and I had a brainstorm of an idea! I had not known how to do it, but he does it for his gaming channel and explained it to me… so now, and because Richard had recently did some audio compilations (we had no plans to “do” anything with them), we are thrilled to announce our new YouTube channel specifically for showcasing his original songs!

Integrating the Spirals: Marker and oil pastel sketches to honor our connections

I’m sharing two more sketches my soul-sister, artist, and connected friend, Linda Lewis of Thailand (previously from Arkansas) has shared on her blog. Linda and I continue to uncover more ways in which, We Are All Connected. And sometimes it’s almost scary how many levels and ways we DO connect! I will continue to share sketches every so often of the ones that I enjoy drawing and coloring, as Linda is always encouraging me to find the JOY in each and every artistic endeavor I take on. Thank you sooo much, Linda!

See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – as I read Linda’s articles about her daily life, her visits with her dear husband (who’s in a nursing home), and their son, who’s been so brave and steady in the face of the changes his parents have had during this last year or so–taking on the task of moving them from Arkansas to Thailand and all the minutiae of paperwork, organization, and care that has went into that! I honestly believe he’s provided a herculean effort that most wouldn’t even consider much less accomplish with so much love and compassion that I’m taking a big breath just to imagine!

I want to honor our connections on this lovely Mother’s Day. It could be any day though. Because after reading four exceptional articles from The Realist Juggernaut this morning, I am finding that honoring our connections (both current and past from our lineage and family ties), is what’s most important in life! Thank you, John, for these articulate and deeply profound posts that certainly, I will be reading again tonight and sitting with for a long time. I hope others will find them validating and valuable as well:

Health update

The naturopathic doctor used myofascial release and other soft tissue releases to continue working on my left foot, knee, and hips. I’m getting a bit more range of motion when attempting to lift my big toe, but we’re not there yet. I wonder, but hope, I’ll get full use of it again. I’m in no pain with it, so there’s that. It is numb on the inner half of big and second toe. But the sciatica is nearly gone in my back, thus I cannot complain. I have not resumed dancing yet, though I plan to soon!

Continued Forward Motion

I’ve been busy getting ready for Gina’s conference. I’ve done everything on the checklist for her, but I am continuing to refine and practice my keynote speech. I’ve also been building connections with the other guests she’s had on her podcast and previous conference, as well as the other guests on this upcoming June conference. Be sure to follow Gina’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella

We’ve been watching the three Lord of the Rings films and now, the three Hobbit movies. I must say, my husband and I stay entertained! And I’m nearly complete on reading Russell Brand’s new book and I’ll review it in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

Continued prayers for a Facebook acquaintance (her sister, sister’s husband, and niece were in a head on car crash). The crash killed the unobservant driver. Her sister is an organ donor and being transferred to another hospital to keep oxygen flowing to her body–it’s been a traumatic last few days as she’s asked her readers to pray for a miracle, but now, it seems as she’s found some peace in knowing her sister’s organs will aid 8 other people to live more fully. She’d been angry at the hospital at first for not following the family’s wishes–they did NOT want the brain test to see if she was brain inactive. And you know me, I do not give up hope for anyone until we’re in the ground. She’s now simply asking people to stay more present with family and friends. And aware while driving. I agree. None of us know when our end will come.

Also, continued loving vibes and prayers to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael and his family in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com), as his half sister is recuperating from an incident in Idaho. We know physical distance makes things more difficult.

I am also continuing to work on creating new graphics for marketing my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. Thus, I’ll leave all of the words (over 600 pages) in the book and simply make this post image heavy.

I’m not sorry for your loss, I am sorry for your grief

So many times I see people comment on Facebook or other social media, “I’m sorry for your loss” after someone dies. That phrase has always rung hollow to me. I am sure many people just don’t know what to say, and want to express their condolences. But it’s not really true. It would be more true to say, I’m sorry for the grief you’re experiencing (or will experience). I’m sorry that you may experience loneliness, sadness, emptiness, or such. I’m sorry that we always experience the loss of the routine we had with the person (or the pet).

Think of it this way, when your dog dies, you’ll have those periods of time throughout your days when you used to play with them, walk them, feed them, etc. and after they are gone, you suddenly find yourself trying to fill that space of time! That’s what loss feels like. And sometimes we experience emotional turmoil too, like mad that the person left us, and then we feel guilty for feeling that way! There’s such a range of emotions that a person can feel after someone “crosses over” to the Other Side.

Thus, maybe it would be more honest for me to say, “I’m not as sorry for your loss as I am sorry for the many phases of grief you will experience. And I hope you will reach out to me, even if you just want someone to lend an ear and keep your thoughts confidential.”

A fellow blogger and journalist, John Neff, wrote an exquisite poem that I resonated deeply within me. Actually, John has written several poems I love. Here’s the link to the first I found beautiful: https://therealistjuggernaut.com/2024/07/01/the-hearts-lament/ And then the second: https://therealistjuggernaut.com/2024/07/18/poe-in-space-beyond-the-bounds-of-earthly-spires/

I told John I love these poems, and if I was remiss, he knows it now. Often beautiful poems help us say things we might otherwise struggle to find the words to express our feelings. My mission is to help people know they are never truly alone. And that mission is near and dear to my heart. Thinking of that, this poem hits me in the feels as well: https://therealistjuggernaut.com/2024/04/12/echoes-in-the-dark/

Why?

I lost an aunt and a husband of a dear family friend to suicide.

Then fast forward many years, I struggled with a dark night of the soul and the spirit of suicide tempted me to take my own life too! Prayer brought me out of it.

As most in my circle know, we lost David Wilcock to the Other Side several days ago, purportedly from taking his own life. While that seems unfathomable to many of us, only David knew what he was personally experiencing in his life. I share this link to honor the man, and soul he was while on this planet in this lifetime: https://www.youtube.com/live/VbXvRyKeWp8?si=dOnA8Zv_ijOGaHHb

I will also continue to ask for prayers and loving vibes to be sent along to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) for his family too.

I know how suddenly death can impact each of our lives. I also know there’s something vast on the Other Side. Not only because of the visitations I’ve had from my sister, Christina, and from my beautiful mother after she crossed over to the Grand Beyond. But also, because I was awakened in the middle of the night with a strong male voice telling me (twice!) the words, We Are All Connected. The subject of my 5th book.

Self Control allows us to more easily Connect. And establish Communion.

When we live a life affirming of our CONNECTION it affords us the luxury of thought whereby we can more easily Connect to each other, as well as commune on a higher level! At least, that’s the high vibrational thought I am affirming today. Woo-hoo!

And what better way to commune with another than to exert some semblance of Self Control over our own thoughts and words!

Thus, I want to explore the concept of Self Control.

I have an uncle that always pauses before he speaks. He’s always done that. Once I realized he was silently saying an internal prayer first (praying with every breath), it made sense. I believe he’s always inviting the Holy Spirit to be with him (or speak through him), as he talks with others.

I saw a meme recently that said we could develop self discipline by being more mindful over when and what we eat/drink. That’s when I remembered that observing our thoughts (like my uncle does) and working up to being fully conscious and checking in with every breath, is even better to reign ourselves in (self discipline/self control). 

Think about how much Self Control you impose on your thoughts, words, and actions for a few days and let me know in the comments, if this is something you actively DO (or not).

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!

Integrating the Spirals: Walking the Metaphysical Path with a Soul Tribe!

Sometimes many of us feel unheard. And us writers feel unread! But recently, a fellow blogger of mine brought up an issue regarding “dreams” and where they may come from. To quote Gray Summers, “…dreams do surface in short term memory. Hence they are difficult to keep a hold of. Also, lack of certain vitamins or minerals can bring on strong dream experiences.” We chat via comments and agree that dreams form in the subconscious.

Confirming this about dreams forming in the subconscious, Google says, “….visual or conceptual experiences during sleep, likely originating from the subconscious mind processing daily sensory inputs, memories, and suppressed emotions. They function to consolidate memories, process emotions, and bridge subconscious fears with conscious thoughts. These dreams can serve as emotional regulation, helping to manage stress and avoid over-fitting to daily data.”

Now, I write a LOT about dreams, as you know from the book I wrote, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. That book was based on this story medicine and previous article, https://sheilamurrey.net/2017/04/26/that-little-blue-dot/

I continue to find the synchronicities with the new soul tribe I’m meeting via one of my Dr. Bruce Lipton group friends, Gina Virginia Casella. The Imaginal Cells group, that’s the name Bruce and his nephew Alex like to call us–those of us who gather with Bruce on his monthly Zoom calls have been getting to know each other during the last 4 years that I’ve been a member. It seems we’re of a special kind of ilk. We actually reach out and friend each other on platforms, like WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram, etc. to stay in touch throughout the month. We’ve lost some members (to the Other Side) from within the Imaginal Cells group, because “that’s the circle of life” and thus, we try to scoop up as much time together as possible since we know we’ve built a very strong fabric that one day may form a beautiful tapestry!

The tribe is gathering

The collective with Gina Virginia Casella is gathering. She calls the tribe, Dragon Dreamers. I’ve mentioned a few posts back that I’ve already recorded one interview for Gina’s podcast and YouTube channel, but as well, I will be presenting a keynote speech on June 13th on Gina’s channel.

To learn more about the upcoming conference and how you may also join our soul tribe of Dragon Dreamers, connect with Gina at: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/

Gina did a YouTube Live today that I watched and commented on, which in direct Observer Effect fashion, she mentioned me by name and even popped my comment up on the screen! Haha! Yay! Here’s the link to see it, (and Gina’s focus was on the full moon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_RdzoFkdmw

p.s. I’m still reading Russell Brand’s new book (How to become a Christian in 7 Days), on Kindle. It’s sooo good! And please continue sending prayers and loving vibes to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) for his family as his half sister recovers.

Movie Review: If not for all the magic, the 8 Harry Potter films would be the most Christian shows we’ve seen in a long time!

I’m thankful to author, J.K. Rowling, for writing the Harry Potter books on which all eight films were based. And while these were intense, and of course, were all about natural magic–including potions, spells, and poison, they were great! So clean! No F-bombs. No sex, okay a bit of “kissing in the halls” kinda teenage stuff, but it wasn’t blatant. And no gays (and if there were–not front and center).

We loved watching all the children age a year or so every single night. Yes, we watched each of the films (one per night) in succession. We enjoyed seeing many of the older actors that we don’t see as much too, like the incredible Maggie Smith (whom we loved in Downton Abbey), Alan Rickman (the character we love to hate from Die Hard), John Hurt, Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, and Verne Troyer, and how many remained in their roles throughout the 8 films. I loved watching how they changed Emma Stone’s hair throughout, it was a mess in that first movie, much like my long naturally curly hair was when I was that age. And Daniel Radcliffe was good, but one could certainly appreciate how he grew his acting skills along with way. Rupert Grint did a fine job throughout as well, though there were a few times when we weren’t sure he should have been jealous, though that’s “per the script” and direction too, perhaps not his acting choice.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

I’m not anti-gay. But over the years the gayness has increased across the board. It seems now that EVERY movie or TV series we’ve watched in the last 10-20 years has been overrun with gay content. Or perhaps I could say, the gay story lines/content is disproportionate to the amount of gays among us.

Of course, we laugh at Little Britain. We own the DVD series of that British comedy–and we used to laugh at Russell Brand’s audacious stand-up comedy routines too! And my gay friends are funny (hilarious at times in fact!) because they don’t take themselves so seriously. Something I struggle with–taking myself so seriously.

But they’re adults, and we’re adults. I know no one wants to DO adulting, but come on. We know people are people and each have free will to live as they choose and love who they want. We simply don’t want to see gay themes in EVERY SINGLE show. Sorry. We don’t!

We just watched Mark Wahlburg in Balls Up last night and thought it was hilarious–I’ve never laughed so hard during the first five minutes of a movie!!! And there were gay references in it, but Mark scored points for Jesus in it too, and for me, it was a GREAT BALANCE!

Per Google (just now): “Based on global surveys, approximately 3% of adults worldwide identify specifically as gay or lesbian, while around 9% identify as LGBTQ+ overall, according to a 2023 study across 30 countries. The broader LGBTQ+ figure includes bisexual (4%), pansexual (1%), and asexual (1%) identities.” And they do allow for generational differences, regional variations, and data limitations.

I’m simply saying that Hollyweird (Disney, in particular) has gotten to the point where everything, even Star Wars, has gone gay. (Talk about Girls Gone Wild.) Geesh! The Acolyte did no favors for witches (or women) either, by burning them all in that one scene. Ugh! Why can’t we all just get along? As an occultist (one that likes to study the hidden, that does not mean demonic or evil stuff), I was offended!

Mostly, this is why I think Taylor Sheridan has done such a great job on his shows. He’s found a way to balance things. Yes, I know he stretches history. I hear some guys say he emasculates his male characters. I hear the negative rants about Taylor.

But as much as we love The Chosen it was becoming one of the few shows we could watch that was as clean as Harry Potter!

Spoiler alert: As I’ve written about before, I watch a ton of YouTube because even Stranger Things, which I had looked forward to its season 5 for so long–ended on a huge gay note! And speaking of endings, we were SAD when Doby died! Hubby says, “That last Harry Potter flick didn’t have to end that way.”

I’m compassionate and empathic, and I know everyone has a gay member in their family or circle of friends. We do too! Or at least a non-binary, whether they claim to be gay or not (which is none of my business). And I want to support them. But as for the cult-like LGBT+ community, when it was simply LGB I did support them. When they added the T and the plus–which stands for all the other bizarre stuff and wanted the rest of us to think it was all NORMAL… nope!

I wasn’t one to talk about the “slippery slope” stuff either years ago, but now, I see where it HAS been a slippery slope!

We went to Disney once during “gay days” and lived in St. Petersburg, Florida where they love their Pride parades. Well, I have an issue with Pride on the whole anyway, as a concept, and rarely use the word. So no, I don’t go out for those kind of events either.

Bash me. Call me a hater. So be it. You say that like it’s a bad thing. I’m entitled to my opinion just as you are to yours. And I won’t call you a hater, though I may unfriend/unfollow you (and probably will) if we can’t agree to disagree on this one aspect of life. I’ll go back to listening to my Tom Macdonald songs.

Rant, er, review done. Bring on the comments!
