Del Bigtree said it best at the end of episode 487 on The Highwire, that Anthony Fauci chose (on the advice of his counsel) to sit there and plead the 5th and not be able to “talk, talk, talk” and “get his last word in” in his defense, while everyone else got to speak for/about him. And that was perhaps a “fate worse than death” for him. What do you think? I captured a few screenshots from the show, and here’s a link to the episode: https://thehighwire.com/watch/

I’ve spent the last few days spewing on Facebook my opinion about Fauci’s Senate hearing nonsense, but after watching Del Bigtree today on the Highwire, I’m over it. And I’m here to state that for the record. Practicing what I teach.
We Are All Connected. Whether we like it or not. And our world needs us to be kind and compassionate—not out of fear, but out of true, unconditional love.

You’re exhausted. Not just tired—drained. The kind of exhaustion that comes from constantly managing other people’s emotions, walking on eggshells around family, or feeling triggered by every news headline and Facebook argument.
You’ve tried the self-help books. The meditation apps. The therapy. But you’re still stuck in the same cycles: people-pleasing, emotional reactivity, feeling like life is happening to you instead of with you.
Here’s what nobody tells you: You don’t need more information. You need integration.
Meet Your Spiral Sister
I’m Sheila Murrey—IT professional turned holistic health researcher, author, YouTuber, songwriter, and self-described, “Spiral Sister.”
I didn’t always have the answers. But I survived:
Two unhappy marriages before finding my twin flame husband (21+ years strong—yes, third marriages can work)
Years as a single mom raising two kids while working full-time and going to college after the first ex-husband left when our children were 5 and 7
Living with a 2nd ex-husband who fired a gun in my direction (I left. I forgave. I learned.)
Being laid off from a job I loved (2004) and rebuilding my career from scratch
A near-death asthma crisis (2005) that made me question everything conventional medicine told me
Being laid off again (2008) for five months at the Kennedy Space Center (and had to rebuild my career again!)
Selling our dream home in Titusville, FL (2010) after Obama ended the manned space program
Living in an RV with my husband for 11 years and moving all central Florida for contract work; the last 17 months of which we lived off the grid beginning a week prior to the COVID lockdowns of 2020
Caring for my darling husband when he suffered a stroke (Oct. 2022) after a hurricane knocked our power out for ten days, and while I continued to work full-time from home
Every single one of those experiences taught me the same thing: Everything has value. Everything resolves to gratitude. But I had to learn how to get there.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail
Most coaching, therapy, and self-help treats you like you’re broken and need fixing. They sell you one layer of the onion as the whole truth.
But you’re not one-dimensional. You are spirit, mind, body, and soul—and they all need to be addressed together. That’s what I call Total Metamorphosis: holistic practices for healing your body, transforming your mindset, and creating real success in your life!
The Integrating the Spirals Method: What You’ll Get
I’ve codified 20+ years of epiphanies, synchronicities, and hard-won lessons into sessions that blends spirituality with science, music therapy, and practical daily practices.
Here’s what we’ll do together:
Key #1: Honor Your Innermost Being & Ancestors
Move from living in struggle, fear, and shame to sharing your truth with a gratitude mindset. You’ll learn to:
Record and review yourself to spot emotional patterns
Meditate (or feel your pulse if meditation feels impossible)
Use music and sound therapy to access deep relaxation
Key #2: Perspective Shapes Beliefs
Let go of the need to be right and start feeling supported by the Universe. We’ll explore:
Kaleidoscope & Mirror Ball Multiple Perspectives Exploration (shadow work for sensitive types)
Why no one can see the whole picture at once
How to stop judging your beginning against someone else’s years of practice (and judge less period, since we can never really know a person)
Key #3: WordPlay—Clean Up Your Triggers
Identify the words that charge you emotionally (mask, facts, control, truth, liberty, God, etc.) and learn to reframe them so you don’t “fly off the handle.”
Bonus: Original Music Brain Stimulation
My darling husband Richard has written over 1400 original songs (we’ll play a portion of one each session) to help you grow new neural pathways, stimulate your creativity, and grow your “what’s possible” mindset.
Who This Is For
This program is for you if:
You’re currently triggered or emotionally charged by family conflicts, relationship drama, or news/social media
You feel torn apart, confused, or estranged from loved ones
You’re ready to stop people-pleasing and start feeling better in any situation
You want to retain emotional balance during intimidating, PTSD-triggering conversations.
Who This Is NOT For
This isn’t for you if you’ve decided:
Life has to be hard and a struggle
You enjoy suffering or the benefits of it or must “always be right”
You love to argue and “know everything”
You don’t feel you’re worthy of love or feel you can’t change your life
The Investment (And Why It’s Worth It)
4 transformational sessions: $181
Why $181? Because the Tao Te Ching has 81 verses, and in numerology, 181 reduces to 1—new beginnings.
What you get:
Daily reminders via Messenger or text
2 weekly group Zoom calls (groups of four or less)
Deep-dive WordPlay work (where Sheila listens to you and spots the words you use that are holding you back)
Kaleidoscope and mirrorball philosophy
Mini areas of focus and role-playing exercises
Access to a private, intimate mastermind-style group
Don’t think you can afford it? Message me. I’m offering a Pay What You Want option today because I don’t want to exclude anyone due to lack of funds.
What Makes This Different
Science meets Spirituality: I blend mind-body strategies such as, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) with mobility exercises and dance
Music Therapy: Richard’s original compositions help build new neural pathways
Esoteric & Practical: People from all religious backgrounds welcome. We explore Holism, Omnism, and the mystical principle that you’re “never alone.”
Real Talk: I’ve unfriended people on Facebook. I’ve been triggered. I’m human. But I’ve learned to get my grip back—and so can you.
A Story That Changed Everything
My maternal grandmother taught me about the Cherokee “Trail of Tears”—the 1839 forced march where thousands died.
Only one of the five relocated tribes remembered what starvation felt like. Yet just 10 years later, the Choctaws sent food across the ocean to Ireland during the Great Hunger.
When people truly change, it shows up in their actions.
My grandmother never judged someone knocking on her door during the Great Depression of 1929 because she believed we might be “entertaining angels unaware.” That’s the energy I bring to this work.
Your Next Step
If any of this resonates—if you’re ready to ask a different question, feel from another perspective, and integrate what you learn so your cells remember—let’s talk.
I’m here to assist—not save. I’m one person, and I seek to play with earnest, hungry, seriously motivated individuals who are ready to dig into this “play” for soul growth and personal transformation.
We Are All Connected. Whether we like it or not. And our world needs us to be kind and compassionate—not out of fear, but out of true, unconditional love.
Final Thought
You can’t say the wrong thing to the right people. Think of your children, grandchildren, or beloved. You love them unconditionally. Now it’s time to do that for yourself.
Put your hand on your heart. Speak from your centered, balanced heart space in LOVE. The Universe always, in all ways, has your back.

My daughter did this sketch a month or so ago at the art studio where she works. I knew as soon as I saw her photos of the progression she took on it, I knew I wanted to sketch it. But with high prioritizing my mobility exercises (at various times throughout my day), prepping food and cooking then performing the subsequent clean-up, working on reformatting the paperback version of my book, doing interviews and Zoom calls to promote it, reading and working through about 6 books, reviewing and posting video book reviews of such, and attending a book club, plus a variety of summertime things going on while the granddaughters are off school, and walking with hubby (sometimes to our local coffee shop for brunch or other times for lunch or an early dinner at another local place)–this blog totally takes a back seat! Whew!
I’m betting at least some of you can relate though and have just as much going on.
Now, here are the sketch progressions:
Top is the sketch by my daughter; bottom is my version of the sketch with new pencil. –Sheila MurreyTop sketch by my daughter – step 2; bottom is my version – step 2. –Sheila MurreyTop sketch by my daughter – step 3; bottom is my version – step 3. –Sheila Murrey
But I finally broke open the new pack of pencils I bought and erasers, AND I did actually use an eraser on this sketch a few times, so yes, I can see where these are going to help improve all of my future sketches quite a bit! Thank you to my dear fellow blogger and long distance “soulie” friend, Linda Lewis (watercolor sketch artist and weight loss inspiration to me). I think Linda may love this–though I couldn’t figure how to do the water very well either. Linda and I have chatted about how to create a more fluid water look.
Top sketch by my daughter – step 4; bottom is my version – step 4. I thought I was done, but do you notice what I forgot? –Sheila MurreyMy completed version and I reworked some of the grass and rocks too because I noticed that the white helped some of the other colors blend better. –Sheila Murrey
I stopped a few times to check to see if I was enjoying the sketching. While I can’t say I smiled much throughout this, I think it’s because I still see it as another task to get done. And then, also to try and “get right.” But I keep reminding myself that Art can communicate more than words and connects us in my subconscious ways. And THAT makes me happy.
The book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers
The inspiration for the book, Sheila explained, came from a metaphysical experience in 2004. During the night, while on vacation and asleep beside her husband, she heard a deep male voice repeat the words, “We are all connected.” The phrase startled her because it was repeated twice, and she initially thought she might be dreaming. When she woke her husband, he told her she had probably just been dreaming, but the experience stayed with her.
From that moment on, Sheila said, her analytical mind took over. She began researching every possible angle surrounding the phrase: whether it was spiritual, psychological, or even some kind of unusual frequency or interference. Her background in electronics and radio made her think about signals, wavelengths, and transmission. Over time, her search expanded into deeper areas such as past-life regression, remote viewing, consciousness studies, and the work of the Monroe Institute.
She described the book as a wide-ranging exploration of connected consciousness. In Part One, she examines the origins of the idea, the unified field, the cosmos, the Earth, and the nature of frequency and physics. Her interest in these subjects was deepened by films like What the Bleep Do We Know? and by the work of thinkers such as Nassim Haramein.
Part Two focuses on life and the living matrix. Sheila said she has studied the work of Bruce Lipton, Joe Dispenza, and Greg Braden, and she regularly participates in a Zoom group with Bruce Lipton. In this section, she explores how the body’s cells respond to our thoughts and words, and how biology, the brain, mind, and consciousness all interact.
She also discussed spirituality, religion, philosophy, social structures, and technology. As a child, she used to wonder why different churches and religions seemed so divided, even when they all claimed a connection to God. That early curiosity shaped much of her later writing. She also includes discussion of the psyche, the afterlife, and the many ways human beings try to understand what lies beyond the physical world.
A major part of Sheila’s work has also involved grief, visitation, and experiences surrounding death. She volunteered with Dr. Raymond Moody, reading accounts of near-death and shared-death experiences sent in by others. This work deeply influenced her understanding of consciousness and survival after death. She also shared that she had personal experiences connected to the deaths of both of her parents, which further reinforced her sense that we are connected across different realms and states of being.
Sheila said that beyond the research to answer how and why those four words came to her, We Are All Connected (and everything that would become the book), she wanted to offer practical information. She included consciousness tools so that readers could apply the ideas in daily life rather than simply read about them. The book also covers more controversial subjects such as UFOs, secrets, cover-ups, and hidden forces, all framed within her larger theme of interconnectedness.
Dipping deeper
Sheila spoke about the role of ancestry and memory as well. Her mother had been a writer, though she was never published, and Sheila has continued working through her mother’s letters, notes, and ledger books. This process has been emotionally difficult, but it has also opened up new material and helped her move toward writing a screenplay. She hopes that even if she does not complete all of her creative goals in this lifetime, her grandchildren may one day continue the work.
Podcasting
When asked if she had ever considered podcasting, Sheila said she had thought about podcasting with her husband but did not yet have the equipment. One person suggested she appear on Next Level Soul, and Sheila appreciated the recommendation. Others present agreed that her work and perspective would fit well in that space. If you agree, please send comments to Next Level Soul that Sheila would make a great guest. Podcasters need to know people want to see the guests they bring on.
The host added that Sheila’s book was extremely comprehensive and that nearly every chapter connected some topic back to the central theme of human interconnectedness. He said that by the end of the book, a reader would come away strongly feeling that “we are all connected.”
Sheila agreed, saying that the book grew out of her own search for meaning. At first, she did not even think it would become a book. She simply wanted answers to the experience she had in 2004. She also said the work became more difficult because it was tied to personal and emotional material, including family relationships, childhood memories, and unresolved pain.
She spoke about how some people resist the idea of interconnectedness because they don’t want to be connected to certain kinds of people. For Sheila, that is part of why she believes she has been placed where she is now: to help repair relationships, soften judgment, and encourage people to see beyond division. She also discussed her background in West Virginia, her roots in American history, and her family connections to the Mayflower, the American Revolution, and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Religious and spiritual themes
Her interest in religion and spirituality also comes from a lifelong habit of asking questions about why people believe different things. She said that after working for years in academic settings and technology, she learned the importance of context and audience. She wanted her books to cite sources carefully and give credit to the many researchers and teachers who influenced her.
She described herself as more of a bridge or connector than someone seeking attention or credit. Although she has been told she still has ego like everyone else, she said that for years she has tried to keep the focus on the information rather than on herself. She compared spiritual ideas to water: they must keep moving, connecting, and flowing, even if that means irritating people along the way.
She also described a program she created called Integrating the Spirals. In that work, she uses symbolic tools like a kaleidoscope and a mirror ball to help people look at their problems from different perspectives. The idea is that by turning the image, people can see new patterns, soften bias, and eventually expand awareness. In meditation, she said, one can go inside the mirror ball and become everything.
Choosing to believe in an afterlife
When asked which part of her research she loves most, Sheila said it is hard to choose because the topics are like children to her. Still, she admitted that her deepest interest is in God, omniscience, and spirituality. She said she has trouble relating to people who do not believe in some form of divine source or creator, though she recognizes that these are all belief systems.
She explained that she sees the unseen as just as real as the seen. While some people only accept what they can observe directly, Sheila believes that synchronicity, spirit, and invisible realities are central to understanding life. She also said that not everyone is ready for these ideas, and some people may need a future experience, or even another lifetime, before they can fully understand them.
The conversation shifted toward shared death experiences and the afterlife. Sheila explained that a shared death experience with her father met the parameters described by Dr. Raymond Moody, whereas the experience she had after her mother’s passing was more like a visitation. She said that these events helped shape her conviction that consciousness continues beyond physical life.
She also discussed the role of Christ, the cross, and religious symbolism in people’s lives. For some, these symbols function like a crutch or a structure that supports their spiritual identity. Sheila said she respects that, even if her own perspective is broader and more expansive. She believes that many spiritual experiences are interpreted through the lens of a person’s existing belief system.
In closing
The session closed with several participants thanking Sheila for her insights, her writing, and her openness. Many expressed interest in reading her book and exploring her blog further. Sheila thanked everyone warmly and said she appreciated the thoughtful conversation.

Fellow bloggers and long distance friends, Gray Summers (retired nurse, songwriter/musician, fan of all things vintage, and Johnny Depp) and Linda Lewis (watercolor sketch artist and weight loss inspiration to me) may LOVE this post! (Click their names to visit their blog sites.)
My high school friend Teresa Damron has retired from her nursing career and been drawing and sketching, with her most recent being watercolor sketches! I’ll share a couple of her exquisite animal sketches (yes, she works on commission too), and these fantastic bookmarks she’s now selling (though I do not believe she has a public facing website, yet):
Bookmarks for sale. –Teresa Damron via FacebookCloseup. Bookmarks for sale. –Teresa Damron via FacebookMy comment on Teresa’s bookmarks Facebook post.Artwork by Teresa Damron (Background of her Facebook page)Pan pastels and colored pencils artwork by Teresa DamronTeresa is starting to get known. I’ll let you know if she sets up a website.
It’s funny, because as soon as I saw Teresa’s post (about the bookmarks) on Facebook the other day I thought of Linda. When I’d first ordered something from Linda’s former Etsy shop (back a few years ago), she’d included a wood burned bookmark in the package as a gift! I loved it so much that I ordered several more, and eventually a few more pieces of her art. I still love each one and the tote I gave to my daughter with penguins on it. Wink!
Art often communicates more than words on how much we love the same things and connects us in sublime and subtle ways–perhaps more than we are consciously aware!

She is a mom, wife, grandmother of three, and has worked in a wide range of fields, including higher education, aviation, computer systems, admissions, business analysis, programming, systems analysis, and technical writing. Alongside that professional path, she has maintained a deep passion for holistic spirituality, Daoism, alternative health, energy medicine, and natural remedies.
She also enjoys singing and co-writing songs with her husband, who is a guitarist, bassist, and songwriter. Together they have created original work and videos for YouTube. Sheila has also written several books, which helped reconnect her with old friends and colleagues over the years.
The book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers
The inspiration for the book, Sheila explained, came from a metaphysical experience in 2004. During the night, while on vacation and asleep beside her husband, she heard a deep male voice repeat the words, “We are all connected.” The phrase startled her because it was repeated twice, and she initially thought she might be dreaming. When she woke her husband, he told her she had probably just been dreaming, but the experience stayed with her.
From that moment on, Sheila said, her analytical mind took over. She began researching every possible angle surrounding the phrase: whether it was spiritual, psychological, or even some kind of unusual frequency or interference. Her background in electronics and radio made her think about signals, wavelengths, and transmission. Over time, her search expanded into deeper areas such as past-life regression, remote viewing, consciousness studies, and the work of the Monroe Institute.
She described the book as a wide-ranging exploration of connected consciousness. In Part One, she examines the origins of the idea, the unified field, the cosmos, the Earth, and the nature of frequency and physics. Her interest in these subjects was deepened by films like What the Bleep Do We Know? and by the work of thinkers such as Nassim Haramein.
Part Two focuses on life and the living matrix. Sheila said she has studied the work of Bruce Lipton, Joe Dispenza, and Greg Braden, and she regularly participates in a Zoom group with Bruce Lipton. In this section, she explores how the body’s cells respond to our thoughts and words, and how biology, the brain, mind, and consciousness all interact.
She also discussed spirituality, religion, philosophy, social structures, and technology. As a child, she used to wonder why different churches and religions seemed so divided, even when they all claimed a connection to God. That early curiosity shaped much of her later writing. She also includes discussion of the psyche, the afterlife, and the many ways human beings try to understand what lies beyond the physical world.
A major part of Sheila’s work has also involved grief, visitation, and experiences surrounding death. She volunteered with Dr. Raymond Moody, reading accounts of near-death and shared-death experiences sent in by others. This work deeply influenced her understanding of consciousness and survival after death. She also shared that she had personal experiences connected to the deaths of both of her parents, which further reinforced her sense that we are connected across different realms and states of being.
Sheila said that beyond the research to answer how and why those four words came to her, We Are All Connected (and everything that would become the book), she wanted to offer practical information. She included consciousness tools so that readers could apply the ideas in daily life rather than simply read about them. The book also covers more controversial subjects such as UFOs, secrets, cover-ups, and hidden forces, all framed within her larger theme of interconnectedness.
Dipping deeper
Sheila spoke about the role of ancestry and memory as well. Her mother had been a writer, though she was never published, and Sheila has continued working through her mother’s letters, notes, and ledger books. This process has been emotionally difficult, but it has also opened up new material and helped her move toward writing a screenplay. She hopes that even if she does not complete all of her creative goals in this lifetime, her grandchildren may one day continue the work.
Podcasting
When asked if she had ever considered podcasting, Sheila said she had thought about podcasting with her husband but did not yet have the equipment. One person suggested she appear on Next Level Soul, and Sheila appreciated the recommendation. Others present agreed that her work and perspective would fit well in that space. If you agree, please send comments to Next Level Soul that Sheila would make a great guest. Podcasters need to know people want to see the guests they bring on.
The host added that Sheila’s book was extremely comprehensive and that nearly every chapter connected some topic back to the central theme of human interconnectedness. He said that by the end of the book, a reader would come away strongly feeling that “we are all connected.”
Sheila agreed, saying that the book grew out of her own search for meaning. At first, she did not even think it would become a book. She simply wanted answers to the experience she had in 2004. She also said the work became more difficult because it was tied to personal and emotional material, including family relationships, childhood memories, and unresolved pain.
She spoke about how some people resist the idea of interconnectedness because they don’t want to be connected to certain kinds of people. For Sheila, that is part of why she believes she has been placed where she is now: to help repair relationships, soften judgment, and encourage people to see beyond division. She also discussed her background in West Virginia, her roots in American history, and her family connections to the Mayflower, the American Revolution, and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Religious and spiritual themes
Her interest in religion and spirituality also comes from a lifelong habit of asking questions about why people believe different things. She said that after working for years in academic settings and technology, she learned the importance of context and audience. She wanted her books to cite sources carefully and give credit to the many researchers and teachers who influenced her.
She described herself as more of a bridge or connector than someone seeking attention or credit. Although she has been told she still has ego like everyone else, she said that for years she has tried to keep the focus on the information rather than on herself. She compared spiritual ideas to water: they must keep moving, connecting, and flowing, even if that means irritating people along the way.
She also described a program she created called Integrating the Spirals. In that work, she uses symbolic tools like a kaleidoscope and a mirror ball to help people look at their problems from different perspectives. The idea is that by turning the image, people can see new patterns, soften bias, and eventually expand awareness. In meditation, she said, one can go inside the mirror ball and become everything.
Choosing to believe in an afterlife
When asked which part of her research she loves most, Sheila said it is hard to choose because the topics are like children to her. Still, she admitted that her deepest interest is in God, omniscience, and spirituality. She said she has trouble relating to people who do not believe in some form of divine source or creator, though she recognizes that these are all belief systems.
She explained that she sees the unseen as just as real as the seen. While some people only accept what they can observe directly, Sheila believes that synchronicity, spirit, and invisible realities are central to understanding life. She also said that not everyone is ready for these ideas, and some people may need a future experience, or even another lifetime, before they can fully understand them.
The conversation shifted toward shared death experiences and the afterlife. Sheila explained that a shared death experience with her father met the parameters described by Dr. Raymond Moody, whereas the experience she had after her mother’s passing was more like a visitation. She said that these events helped shape her conviction that consciousness continues beyond physical life.
She also discussed the role of Christ, the cross, and religious symbolism in people’s lives. For some, these symbols function like a crutch or a structure that supports their spiritual identity. Sheila said she respects that, even if her own perspective is broader and more expansive. She believes that many spiritual experiences are interpreted through the lens of a person’s existing belief system.
In closing
The session closed with several participants thanking Sheila for her insights, her writing, and her openness. Many expressed interest in reading her book and exploring her blog further. Sheila thanked everyone warmly and said she appreciated the thoughtful conversation.

Here are a few excerpts from the talk I gave about my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers (link below), to the Unity church business group last week:
Excerpt 1: I began speaking about how Andy Lutts (this group’s leader/organizer) and I met through his wife, Jen Carey when we both participated in a Breakthrough Performance (music therapy group) in Florida, 8 years ago (Link to that blog article at the end). I introduce the book and read the title, as well as my warning about how the text in the paperback version of We Are All Connected has been printed from the Amazon print shops. I am continuing to work on reformatting the paperback in hopes to improve the print quality. I then get into the metaphysical experience I had that led me to write the book. I mention knowledge I picked up even from when I was a child and my dad ran a C.B. radio business and “talked skip.” I mention my time at Radio Shack (my resume) and how I came to be such an intense researcher and writer. There’s a lot of information here in a 15 minute clip! I think you’ll really enjoy it!
Excerpt 2: Andy posed a question to me of which chapter in the book I like the most or might want to write/speak more about. And like children, each chapter in the book is like my baby and hard to choose one. I get into God, the afterlife, and then something amazing happened! I said something I’ve never said before about being a bubble of water! And why I find it difficult to converse deeply with an atheist (though I have an atheist cousin).
Excerpt 3: Answering the question about why I wrote the book and who I was writing the book for (to answer the question of why and how We Are All Connection), and the thread that runs through the entire book–our interconnectedness. I spoke about the clairsentience, GodBumps, I experience; I spoke about the metaphysical book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. And the holistic health book, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally. I love what came out about water and how water can smooth rocks. Be like water. I also explain a bit about Integrating the Spirals and how it helps us get a different view/perspective on people and things to judge less.

During my book talk with the Unity church business group last week, I continued talking with the presenter from the week prior about The Gene Keys. I learned more about what each node represents (in the Gene Key profile), and how to use it to confirm and validate things we’ve struggled with/overcame in our lives thus far, as well as, to highlight things we may want to work on. On my way to Ascension for instance, I need to ensure I do not fall into the trap of Greed. And oddly enough, that is one reason I do not charge for any spiritual work I do, and why my spiritual guidance is offered free of charge with no thought of monetary gain. It is my Dharma. My offering to humanity. My service.
I can give you some insight as to what resides at my core or center too. It’s Peace. This explains why I was born to the parents I had and why I abhor conflict. It explains why I have also sought to counsel from diplomatic people in my sphere and why I choose to counsel others in a diplomatic way (instead of gossiping or “taking sides”). I was even chosen last on sporting teams when I was in school because I always wanted to remain neutral and disliked competition. Ha!

I’m open to future speaking engagements now, and am reaching out to a few new ones, like the Next Level Soul Podcast. I’ll keep you all in the loop if I hear anything from the following. Of course if any of you are connected with them and can put in a good word for me, that would be lovely and highly appreciated!

The story had to do with someone losing their 20-year old daughter to asthma, and that they didn’t know if they should share it or not. I felt compelled to share a personal story of our family friend (from years ago) to encourage and thank this dear heart for sharing their story, even though it was tragic and sad. I hope my comment was helpful. Reading it cold again now, I think I could have been more compassionate. –Sheila Murrey

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 MurreyI 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
Screen capture from my convo with Lori Phillips on The Be Awesome Network. –Sheila Murrey & Lori Phillips
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!

Spirit often shows up not as a dramatic apparition, but as subtle, everyday “glitches” in life that we rush past or rationalize away. Most people aren’t very aware that these moments can be spirit speaking in the only language it has: the language of energy, sensation, memory, and symbol.
When the World Pretends to Be Normal
We live in a world trained to explain everything with wires, drafts, bad memories, and coincidence. That’s not wrong—but it’s also not the whole story. Spirit doesn’t always need to be seen to be present. It often works through the small, strange things that make us pause for a second and then move on.
Below are the ways spirit shows itself to people without them knowing, based on your list and what many mediums, sensitives, and ordinary people report across cultures.
Screen capture: A daily quote re: “being watched.” –Tut.com
1. Electricity, Lights, and Electronics That “Act Up”
One of the most common but overlooked signs is disturbance in the electrical realm:
Lights flicker or go on/off at odd moments.
Electronics die suddenly, chargers stop working, or devices malfunction in ways that don’t match normal wear.
Radios, TVs, or phones change channels, volume, or playlists without anyone touching them.
Batteries drain unusually fast, or devices restart on their own.
Why this matters: Spirit is often described as energy-based, and electricity is the closest physical equivalent to that frequency. Many traditions and modern paranormal accounts suggest spirits can “pull” or “push” on electrical systems to make their presence known. It’s not always malicious; it can be a gentle nudge, like a tap on the shoulder made of current. This happened to my friend Alison and I after she bought a new car and we both got in at the same time. She said it only happened when any other high vibrational person entered the car and at no other time. The car wasn’t malfunctioning. It was simply aligning with the energies of the occupants.
2. Temperature Shifts and Sensations of Air
Sudden temperature changes are another classic, quiet signal:
A cold pocket of air in a warm room, or a warm spot in a cold hallway.
A rush of wind with no window open, especially when you’re alone.
In nature: a sudden pocket of warm water in a cold lake, or a strange warmth in an otherwise chilly environment. This happened to me while swimming with our granddaughters on our recent camping vacation to Maine.
A feeling of warm air wrapping around you while you’re grieving, even if no one is there.
These “cold spots” or “warm hugs” are reported so often in haunted-house accounts and mediumship that they’re considered a baseline sign of a presence. Spirit may not be able to hold a hand, but it can move air and change temperature.
3. Dreams That Feel Like Visits
Dreams are one of the most direct channels spirit uses, especially when we’re not consciously aware:
Vivid, “too real” dreams after a loved one has died—sometimes they speak, sometimes they simply are there. This is what happened when I felt I was visited by my mother after she passed in 2017. I wrote about the experience in Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection.
Dreams where you feel physically touched, held, or guided.
Repeating dreams of a place or person that carry emotional weight long after you wake.
Many people dismiss these as “just dreams,” but sensitives often describe them as visitations: the dreamer’s mind is quiet enough for spirit to slip through more clearly. The dream may not announce itself as “this is a spirit,” but the feeling afterward—comfort, clarity, a sense of being loved—is the message.
4. Songs That Arrange Themselves
Music is a powerful carrier of memory and emotion, and spirit often uses it:
A song comes on the radio at the exact moment it means something to you—right after a thought, a memory, or a loss.
A song you haven’t heard for decades appears on TV or radio, especially one tied to a deceased person.
You arrive somewhere and a favorite song of a loved one is playing in the background, even if no one seems to have chosen it.
You wake in the morning with a song in your head that you haven’t heard in years, but it’s deeply meaningful. This used to happen to me quite often after my dad passed in 2019.
These aren’t always coincidences. Song can be a gentle way for spirit to say, “I’m here,” or “Remember this,” or “I loved you when this was our thing.”
5. Animals That Linger or Behave Oddly
Animals are often more sensitive to unseen presence than we are:
A bird, butterfly, or insect stays near you longer than usual, or seems to “choose” you.
A murder of crows appears out of nowhere, making noise as if to draw your attention.
A pet stares intently at an empty corner, barks at nothing, or refuses to go into a certain room.
Animals don’t rationalize the way we do and they interpret different bandwidths or frequencies than we do. If your dog suddenly acts alarmed in a specific spot, or a cat keeps staring at something you can’t see, that can be a quiet signal that something is present.
6. Thoughts That Don’t Feel Like Yours
Sometimes spirit speaks through the mind itself:
A thought you’ve never had before drops in, clear and specific.
Thoughts that pop in that you know are not your own—different tone, different vocabulary. You weren’t trying to figure anything out.
Hearing your deceased loved one’s voice in your head, saying something they would say.
A sudden “knowing” that reminds you of something your loved one enjoyed or that was meaningful to them.
This can feel like intuition, but it’s often more structured than normal intuition: a sentence, a memory, a phrase that lands with emotional weight. Many people later realize these thoughts were messages, not just random brain noise. This is what I believe happened to (for) me when I heard the deep male voice in the middle of the night say the phrase, We Are All Connected.
7. The Feeling of Being Watched or Not Alone
Even when no one is there, you can feel:
A presence next to you, like someone standing just out of sight.
An unsettling quiet awareness that you’re not alone.
A feeling of being watched, especially at night or in solitary moments.
This isn’t always scary. Sometimes it’s neutral or even comforting—a sense that someone is guarding, watching over, or simply near. Spirit often uses this sensation to create a moment of awareness, a pause where you might notice something else: a scent, a sound, a shift in mood.
8. Scent Without a Source
Olfactory signs are especially intimate, because smells tie directly to memory:
The scent of a loved one’s perfume, pipe smoke, coffee, or a specific food appears when no one is there and no one has been. When I smell cigarette smoke, I know it’s either my cousin Greg or his brother, Josh. Both passed within about a year of each other.
A fragrance that matches a person or place from your past, but has no physical source in the room.
These “odor miracles” are reported in church settings, homes, and hospitals worldwide. They’re often described as a gentle greeting: “I remember this,” or “I’m here with you.”
9. Extra Ways Spirit Can Show Up
Beyond the eight items previously listed, there are other subtle signs many people overlook:
Objects moving or appearing/disappearing: Keys, jewelry, or small items shift positions, vanish, or reappear in odd places. Native Americans attribute these occurrences to the “trickster.”
Clocks stopping or resetting: Digital clocks flicker, stop at the same time, or analog clocks seem to pause. Many people look at a clock to check the time and notice it’s 11:11, 1:11, 4:44, or such. These are often called, angel numbers. When we observe these we acknowledge the angels and say, “Angels all around you.”
Symbols: You’re guided to a particular charm, crystal, or pendant–either via a friend, or it catches your eye. It’s meant for you and is a wink from the Universe, or gift from a loved one who has passed. This is how I was guided to the Irish triple spiral of Newgrange that I wear on my mother’s gold chain. I never take it off.
Emotional shifts: A sudden wave of calm, grief, love, or peace that has no clear trigger.
Touch sensations: A brush on the arm, a gentle pressure, or a hand on the shoulder when alone. I’ve written previously many times of the GodBumps sensation I feel. It most often occurs when I in deep conversation with someone or listening to meaningful music or watching a profound movie. I believe they are my “yes” answer to whatever is going on or being said.
These are all ways spirit can say, “I’m here,” without needing to be seen.
Why We Don’t Notice
Most of us aren’t taught to look for spirit in the small things. We’re taught to:
Question everything.
Assume coincidence;
Believe or accept only what can be measured.
But spirit doesn’t need to be proven to be real. It just needs to be noticed. The more you pay attention to the quiet signs—the flicker, the cold spot, the song, the scent—you begin to recognize a pattern: we are not as alone as it sometimes feels.
How to Start Listening
If you’d like to become more aware:
Pause at the strange small things. When something odd happens, don’t immediately dismiss it. Ask: “What if this is a message?”
Keep a simple journal. Note date, time, what happened, and your feeling. Patterns often appear over weeks.
Talk to spirit gently. You can say, “If you’re here, show me in a small way,” and then notice what follows.
Trust your feelings. The emotional tone after an event—comfort, love, peace—is often the real message, not the event itself.
Spirit doesn’t always shout. It whispers in flickering lights, sudden warmth, songs that arrive at the right time, and thoughts that don’t feel like yours. When we learn to listen, we may find that the unseen world has been speaking to us all along, quietly, patiently, and kindly.
Remember: God is love. A love much more vast and profound than any of us have eyes to see or ears to hear, yet. Wait.
Amen. Namaste. OM

I want to start by sincerely offering my gratitude to Gina Virginia Casella for inviting me to speak at her Dragon Dreamers Summer Daze conference on June 13th, 2026.
It’s not often that I get the opportunity to do a presentation or give a talk on a subject I love so much, the profound mysteries of the Universe/unknown (or what I call Omniscience God). Because I see myself as a bridge between heaven and earth or science and spirituality, and a child of the ever-living, ever-present, Energy that Connects All, Limitless God, Creator of All There Is, Life Force, Source, etc. etc. I can say that speaking on topics that expand our consciousness lights me up the most! And that’s what I did on June 13th, and several times since (with Julia AnchorHaven and Michael Kopf).
Now, I don’t always use the term, God, while speaking or presenting, and I heard post-conference that may have been triggering to one or more listeners. Nor do I always specifically name Christ Jesus as my Lord. Perhaps I will in future talks (in full transparency), not to “people please,” but to offer people an “out” as it is never my intention to be divisive.
I have been continuing to learn and grow mySelf and my soul, meet people where they are, and not everyone is ready to fully hear what I have to say–which is why I write. And when I see things like this, it inspires me to ponder, and then post what I’m sharing and you’re reading right here and NOW:
Screen capture of Laura Eisenhower’s recent Facebook post.Screen capture of my comment back to Laura (it also caught a partial comment from someone else, apologies to that person for displaying her name–though that is a public forum).
I chose to participate in Gina’s conference, as well as appear on other podcasts (that most Christians would find challenging) because I feel many are still searching; if anyone is being led by the Holy Spirit to find Christ Jesus through me, I want to ensure they know I’m a believer–I never want to “deny the power thereof.” I always want to be open to the divine mysteries of Omniscience God.
Speaking of not denying God’s power, I always want to put Faith and Trust in our ever-living Source, Creator, before anything man-made. And I mean in a practical way, such as trusting God before making decisions, trusting God for mental and physical healing (above medical interventions), insurance, or anything else designed to give me “peace of mind.” My peace comes from God, not from anything else. God is bigger than anything that could ever divide us. And that’s because each of us have the fractal mark of God within us. God isn’t merely an old man in the sky waiting to punish us when we miss the mark.
God is love. A love much more vast and profound than any of us have eyes to see or ears to hear, yet. Wait.
Amen. Namaste. OM
About the 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).

My YouTube Shorts are where I share most of my Time-lapse art videos and my latest mobility exercises, such as passive hangs and deep squats. I also shared seven short videos of the fireworks show we got to see up close and personal the evening of July 4th.
Next, just for Linda, of Creative Artworks: https://creativeartworksblog.com here’s my latest sketch. I am not too happy with it, but since I had not sketched in several days (maybe two weeks?), it’s okay and it counts. I don’t know which I enjoy more, the hanging and squatting or the sketching though! Ha! Linda really has me focused on losing the lard currently. She’s been a prime influence on me since she’s managed to lose her lard in the last two years (and she’s over 60 too)! So, age should NOT be a factor. Linda has proven to me that no matter my age, I CAN do this! Thank you my friend!
Marker and oil pastels sketch. I’ve drawn better trees. (Oh, well.) I’m sure the roots of the tree are too long… and water IS hard. And my deer? I’m not very good at drawing animals, so there’s that. But I wanted to sketch something with deer in memory of my dad. –Sheila Murrey
Today would have been my dad’s 87th birthday. Happy birthday in the Grand Beyond, Papa!!
I don’t always take myself so seriously, but when I do, I hang and squat! Ha! How do you like that? (Smiling!)
