My daughter and I went to a dance class last night where I saw many dancers of different race, culture, sexual orientation, etc. and I found myself being delighted at how well everyone did, totally enraptured by the dancing, paying attention to the instructors, and wrapped in the love of music and community!
My daughter and me —Sheila Murrey
I only danced a little because my daughter didn’t want to try it, so we mostly sat and talked. It was a different scene for us. But we really enjoyed having mother daughter time, and people watching! I only recognized three songs out of the 2.5 hours we were there.
To get an idea of the size of the dance floor. There was an upstairs where more people could hang out and dance too, but we didn’t go up there.
Here are a few short clips of the dancing (I took these mostly to capture the type of music they used):
Dancing 1
Dancing 2
Dancing 3
Dancing 4
Do you know the songs? Let me know in the comments.
Feeling it, or not
I can’t say I felt GodBumps while listening to the music last night or from watching all the people dance, but I had an enjoyable and refreshing experience. I was a bit disheartened that none of the music I heard matched up to the level that my husband’s produced over the years (no ego here), and that I don’t know what else to do to get his songs out (in a massive way) to prove that. Perhaps, it’s just something that will never happen. And I have to accept that.
Syncronisticly, a friend sent me this “good example of AI” / positive (her words) this morning. I had heard about this mashup but hadn’t seen it til now. I am curious what you’ll think of it:
Presidents singing, “We Are The World.”
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

About us
My husband is an award-winning illustrator, plus he’s a seasoned guitarist, bass player, and songwriter (with over 400 original songs). You can view some of his artwork and listen to many of his songs at: https://www.youtube.com/user/richardmurrey
Have we disconnected from our heart and soul as we pursue Artificial Intelligence (AI) song generation, or in any AI pursuits for that matter? That was the subject of this fascinating YouTube video.
After all of the AI song generation I’ve done, and that my husband has done in the last few months, I can tell you this: While the songs may stick in my head, I’ve yet to feel GodBumps (the way I explain that soul resonance I feel) as I listen to our AI songs. And that disturbs me. It also makes me think this way of creating music is best used to get ideas from and then go back into the studio with real singers and musicians in order to put out quality music.
For me, this means, using AI to help me build the skeleton of the lyrics, then I massage them and ensure the lyrics relate MY personal story, and then let the AI general the singing and music as an initial raw demo.
My husband writes all of his own lyrics and lyrical structure. Then he plugs his lyrics into the AI song generator to have it sung and played. Most of the songs he’s plugging into the AI generator are his, songs he’s already had played/sung by real live musicians and he’s published/released. He’s simply using AI to generate a different version. A different sound. It’s fun for him! Far be it from me to deny him of that.
My hubby’s original song, The al gore rhythmic. I think you’ll find it amusing!
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

My daughter and I took a jewelry making fused glass art class last Saturday night–a week ago. It was fun because we did it together, but it was more tedious to me than fun. I still prefer the glaze/paint/carve art we did a few weeks ago (the mugs: https://sheilamurrey.net/2025/03/06/thrive-in-25-art-class-mugs-back-from-the-kiln/)
Fused glass jewelry pieces
I went to class not knowing we would make more than one thing, so I had put no thought into what I might create. Perhaps this worked in my favor, because as I played around with different colors and sizes of pre-cut glass, I remembered how I love cairns when we’re out hiking. Thus, I decided to assemble several. And my daughter found the little butterfly glass rounds, so I added those to a few of the pieces. A couple of the pieces I arranged in a particular order, such as the one that looks like a candle, with a couple of clouds above it and earth beneath. Had I really thought about it, I would have picked a piece of orange glass for the small flame instead of blue, but eh, it’s art!
I got a pic of my daughter while she was creating her pieces. She told me she didn’t have many photos of her actually crafting, so… I snapped one. I got photos of my tray of glass bits and a couple of ‘in progress’ photos of my glass projects. Then there’s a final ‘after kiln’ picture of my daughter’s projects as well as mine all together. Finally, the last photo in the gallery that follows is of our front enclosed porch too, so you can see where we’ll be playing games and having cocktails some evenings. When winter is completely done, she will move the snow shovels and such so it will even feel a bit roomier. Plus, we’re going to start some seeds too, in containers that will sit on the windowsills. The box under the table is for all of us to use to recycle cardboard in.
Still undecided
I’m still undecided about creating more AI generated music, so here I sit, reading other blogs, some books, and beginning a new exercise routine. Oh, right, and continue procrastinating about writing my 5th book. I just feel like if no one is buying the first couple of books (that I wrote myself, the two initial books were multi-authored books), then why bother! I know that’s probably not a good way to think, but that’s honestly where my mind has been at lately. Plus, I want to start my calligraphy writing/drawing stuff. Hmm… where do my days go?

I was thrilled to receive this acknowledgment a week or so ago from blogger pal and author friend, Dawn Pisturino over at: https://dawnpisturino.wordpress.com Thank you so much, Dawn!
I’ll link to Dawn’s books a little later in this post. And be on the lookout for the eleven Sunshine Blogger Award nominees I’ve posted too!
Sunshine Blogger
Sunshine Blogger Award
I was honestly surprised to receive this Sunshine Blogger Award because though my CB radio handle used to be ‘Sunshine Girl’ when I was young, and that I’ve lived in the Sunshine State of Florida for nearly 40 years… I don’t believe I spread much sunshine around in the blogosphere, though I do always attempt to entertain and educate those daring enough to read my posts.
My answers to Dawn’s questions
Part of being nominated for this Sunshine Blogger Award is to answer the questions offered by the nominating blogger, and then I have to nominate up to eleven other bloggers and give them some questions to answer too! So, the following are my short answers to the questions from Dawn:
What’s your favorite food? Why? I love lamb (and yes, we even loved haggis when we were in Scotland–you can’t get it anywhere else!). But now that we’re vegans (again), I will say Newman’s Own, white pizza spinach, with mushrooms and black olives that I add.
Do you like to cook? What’s your favorite dish to prepare? I like to cook but don’t always feel up to it, so Bean Vivo, Three Bean Chili is an easy meal to heat up.
What kind of books do you like to read? Why? I read a LOT of non-fiction. To quote one of my favorite movie lines, “I like non fiction.There is so much to know about this world.I think you read something somebody just invented, waste of time.“
What’s your favorite movie? Why? I have too many to list, but The Wizard of Oz is definitely in my top 5. It has an enduring story, Dorothy, fantastic dream sequence (or was it a dream?), great witches, and flying monkeys.
What’s your favorite kind of music? Why? I’m too eclectic, but the first music I recall was Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, so we’ll go with Rock.
What’s the most exotic place you’ve ever been? Cozumel.
What’s your favorite exercise? Dancing. My daughter and I are going out dancing in two weeks and we’re going to try line-dancing and two-steppin’! I’m excited!
These were such grand questions, I think I’ll just throw these on out to my favorite bloggers below, if they should also choose to accept to ‘play’ and receive a Sunshine Blogger Award from me!

After purging a lot of computer files, I now find that I’m getting a blast of new information. I’ll keep this short, and get right to the point. This information is that important:
Now, you might want to do this first, as I listened to the Sacha Stone and Dr. David Martin talk first, though now, I think it helps to watch/listen to these in the order I’ve put them in here, instead of how I viewed them. But to each their own.
I know it’s a lot, but I’m taking a break from creating anymore new songs using the AI song generation tool, because as I’ve said before, I don’t feel the GodBumps when I listen to the songs, and to me, music is healing. And I feel at least one of the mechanisms of that healing is the resonance we feel internally, what we used to call SOUL MUSIC, when we heard it. All of this AI stuff is DEVOID of soul and I think it might be setting us up for this trans-humanism junk. Ugh!
To hear some real honest songwriting
Check out my husband’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/richardmurrey and specifically, any songs he put out before Feb. 2025. He counted the other day and he has written nearly 600 original songs! Most of those were produced in a Nashville, TN music studio as well, and we spent over $100,000 doing so! That’s why we began plugging in his original lyrics into the AI song generation tool to begin with, to save us from having to pay real musicians and singers to get a demo back and be able to share it.
But a few hours ago I had a download that the “narrow way” is to server God, not Money/Mammon, as the Holy Bible makes pretty clear but somehow, I’d forgotten.
I’ve updated the Connect with us section below, so keep scrolling…

I have had two more healing zoom calls (over 2 hours—each!) with Maureen Edwardson. She is the founder of Inner Resonance Technologies (her website is: https://maureenedwardson.com/) and author of the book, Your Magical Evolutionary Code Unleashed: The Science of Inner Resonance. If you go to her website, you can download her PDF of the book for free!
Your Magical Evolutionary Code Unleashed: The Science of Inner Resonance, by Maureen Edwardson.
Maureen helped me uncover some new ways of dealing with the tinnitus, and it has been helping to turn down the volume, but I think there’s more going on in my head than what we have uncovered so far.
Maureen suggested I go for a massage, and agreed that seeing a chiropractor could help. I had wanted to see a chiropractor for some time, but hadn’t found one yet. And we have a massage therapist within walking distance, but have I made an appointment yet? Nooo… I don’t know why, other than just not wanting to go out anywhere during the winter (other than once a week with my daughter to pick up groceries).
Though, as it turned out, I did need a massage, but not the kind I would have received from a massage therapist.
I finally found a local chiropractor! And he’s brilliant! He did trigger point therapy on a muscle inside my mouth/jaw area that gave me temporary relief from the tinnitus. And people who experience tinnitus will agree that even a few minutes of relief is worth anything! The chiropractor also reset my neck, which I am sure was a contributing factor.
I still feel like my C1 needs attention, but we’ll see. Dr. B. gave me enough insight into this masseter muscle that I watched some YouTube videos and learned how to do self massage on it and have been massaging it twice a day in between my first and second visit with Dr. B. during this past week.
It may take more sessions to clear this tinnitus thing up. Bonus: Dr. B. resolved the sciatica issue in the first session!
Talking with Maureen and Dr. B. definitely helped me restart some things I had dropped, such as practicing my yoga and mat Pilates. And I decided not to take the 18-week course I had been accepted too (which is why I removed the paragraph about it from an earlier blog post).
Dr. B. gave me some homework too. A way to test myself for yeast overgrowth, which I have done before but not in years.
Spiritually speaking
I have been continuing some one-on-one calls (both on zoom, phone, and individual/group conversations with the 4DU Fellowship group, as well as with my Theosophy book club, so I am pleased with the spiritual progress I’m making, as well as how I can offer support to others. Being of service in this way is very fulfilling. And I believe that’s why I’m here.
I’m considering opening up one or two afternoons a week for consulting calls if anyone is interested. Let me know. I’ll accept donations. No fees. Ever.
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)
