February 22nd – Pain loves company

It’s February 22nd, 2024; Here’s an original song, yes, a ‘cry-in-your-beer’ song, written by my husband, Richard Murrey, and sung by a male professional singer in a Nashville, TN music production studio. This is a traditional country song with a steel guitar to boot!

Broken heart finds a honky tonk bar

Here’s the fifty-third new music post for 2024, as I consistently offer one of our original songs each day. This song asks if sitting at a honky tonk bar can help or hurt him–if he can find a new love or if a honky tonk angel will break his heart too (as apparently, the last love did). He asks why his broken heart always finds a honky tonk.

Steel guitar

Many years ago my Mom told me that her parents (my grandparents) used to play steel guitar. I remember that even as a child, I had wished they had recorded their songs. I would ponder how often they played steel guitar. Did they only play the steel guitars at church? Did they ever record any original songs? And I think because I always wondered about this (Mom said her Mom and Dad had quit playing steel guitars before they had children) and didn’t even speak of it often, that’s what has propelled me to write blog articles and books–and record original songs with Richard. Find the link in the About Us section near the end of this article if you want to see us performing a song.

To this day, I think steel guitar is one of the main reasons I can listen and enjoy Country Music! Though I love the spoons too, so there’s that.

Consider your options

This original country song might propel you to go to a bar and drink your sorrows away, though I don’t recommend it. Consider your options. There’s so much more to life than drinking alcohol.

During The Year of the Dragon, I offer you the following 12 reminders (picked up from a friend on Facebook) that offer you some options for pulling yourself together (rather than visiting your local honky tonk):

February 21st – Renaissance man

It’s February 21st, 2024; Here’s an original song written by my husband, Richard Murrey, and sung by a male professional singer in a Nashville, TN music production studio. This is a pop song with flair. I could imagine it playing at a Renaissance fair.

Renaissance fair

Here’s the fifty-second new music post for 2024, as I consistently offer one of our original songs each day. Richard’s brothers are more into Renaissance festivals than he is, so we’ve never attended. But he wrote this song as a way of connecting to the Renaissance spirit. Then again, I’ve said that Richard is a Renaissance man (as he’s painted pictures with one hand and written song lyrics with the other), so there’s that.

Tom Hanks played a Renaissance Man

Several years ago, Richard and I watched the movie The Ladykillers, and it quickly became one of our favorites! It’s a great story plot (that hearkens back to one of my favorites, The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe). And the Coens always get their writing/directing right. Tom Hanks is always remarkable–the character he creates in The Ladykillers has to be one of his best. And Marlon Wayans is hysterical. Of course, the entire cast is incredible, and Irma P. Hall is stellar! Their sense of comic timing and top-rate performances are genius, and the choir singing is some of the best I’ve ever heard. It’s a movie that resonates with us on several levels. Check it out on DVD.

Think Ren-fest

This song is timely for me to share today as the Florida Renaissance Festival is going on right now and you can find out more about it on their site: https://www.ren-fest.com

Real Ren-Fest for us at Glastonbury Abbey, England (2019)

While I love festivals and ancient things, I didn’t know much about Glastonbury Abbey when we visited in 2019. After our visit there and having a couple of profound experiences, I will never forget it. I was so glad one of our friends from the Sacred Celtic Journey tour snapped this photo of Richard and me.

As well, we will always remember our real Renaissance festival-type experience when we took Eric’s Winterfell Game of Thrones Tour in 2019 and got to dress up in the appropriate apparel (from the show) at the last stop.

Integrating the Spirals: Meditating on the yin-yang symbol

I’d like to share with you a meditation that I have done, and continue to do, that brings one increased awareness of the Light and Shadow. Both are needed and both occur in a sort of balancing act. Or one could call it a dance. Or breathing. As there is ebb and flow. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!):

Something just dropped in

Something just dropped in. I’ll share here that if you’re doing what you love, keep doing it. But if you’re not doing what you’d love, like at your job or something on a daily consistent basis, then keep reaching. There’s the word for you the key meeting. So, find the joy and enjoy the time that you spend reaching. And if you never make it to wherever that goal or dream job is, then at least you’ve enjoyed the time you’ve spent on the way, on the journey, on the reaching–for something.

While meditating on the yin-yang symbol

While I was meditating on the yin-yang symbol (and I do this as a ball, not simply as a 2-dimensional symbol), and I’ve spoken about this before, how I visualize or imagine that the yin and yang is a 5-dimensional ball–with the white part expanding and the black part shrinking. Or the black part expands and sucks volume from the white part! And now, I am speaking of the larger part of the yin and the yang sides, not the little circle that’s within each. That can change too, but that’s irrelevant at this moment.

The meditation I was doing was on a balloon-like yin-yang symbol. The wavy line that separates yin from yang indicates that it’s in motion. Yes, it’s moving. It’s pulsating. It’s breathing! The way in which it is changing shows me that it is always balancing.

But the new thought that popped into my mind while I was doing the meditation was several questions, “What if it’s not a ball? What if it’s not a balloon? What if it’s a tunnel? What if it’s a whole hole?”

When we see a bubble do we see a circular item a bubble, or a ball? Think about the inverse of that think about the hole.

And perhaps the reason this came to mind was because I love caves and I love digging in the dirt for things, planting, hunting for crystals, that kind of stuff. So I had never made the connection that the yin-yang could be a hole, could be circular.

I suppose also this may have come to my mind because in my subconscious rest, there was a show that my husband and I watched awhile back and it was all about this big hole out west somewhere. In this show, of the characters in the show, one falls into the hole, and you think, “Well, he’s gone.” But then later, he ends up coming back. When these things happen in a script we say, “Oh, we knew he was too big of an actor to be gone forever from the show.” So, tada! The actor returns to another place or timeline. And so it’s almost like the two-dimensional thing going on. So that might have been stuck in my subconscious, right?

As I was meditating, that image of that hole came up and I was like, yeah, what if? What if it’s not a ball or a bubble? Is it a portal or a hole? Tell me what you think about that to be really curious, also I’d like to really build a community and not just the WordPress community of readers, but a community that’s living and breathing.

Meeting

We can meet on Zoom, maybe on a Saturday or Sunday, maybe once a month. Let’s build something you know where we meet once a month. So let me know if you’re interested in that at least to start off with. I mean, there’s no cost involved for me as long as I keep it. I think it’s under 100 people on the Zoom call so I won’t have to charge we’ll just do it for fun and see what comes of it. I think at least for many of us, we can just learn and grow with each other and I’m more than willing to put had 30 minutes an hour of my time on the weekend. Once a month, maybe even twice a month. If there’s interest, you all have to let me know. Thanks so much. Much love and many blessings!

Yours in expanding, breathing, meditating, balancing, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY!

What I am known for

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

February 20th – On the lighter side

It’s February 20th, 2024; Here’s an original song written by my husband, Richard Murrey, and sung by a female professional singer in a Nashville, TN music production studio.

A bit lighter fare

Here’s the fifty-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently daily share one of our original songs. Richard created this video using a photo of his sister. The song bounces along with some light-hearted lyrics as our protagonist is happy on her own, living alone, and travelin’/ramblin’ around–town to town. I see her as a gypsy girl. A gal that loves ’em and then leaves ’em.

Fun lyrics

This song reminds me a bit of myself during my single years. Though Richard wrote this before meeting me, I can find parallels to pages within my own life, which always intrigues me. Richard tells me it’s because he’s a great observer of people. He has always enjoyed writing about the ‘human condition.’ And this is why I can relate to so many of his songs–even the ones he wrote years before he met me.

On the lighter side in Sedona, AZ (2016)

Not that this photo has much to do with this music post today, but I found it interesting that when I searched my hard drive for ‘lighter’ and for ‘light side’ it’s the photo I found (and I’ve already shared on an older post as well). It probably came up in my search because of the huge burst of sunlight in the image.

Yesterday, I wrote a bit about the yin-yang of things. In my next post, I’ll offer some insights from a yin-yang meditation that I do often.

February 19th – A mournful country tune – Remember

It’s February 19th, 2024; Here’s an original traditional country song that Richard Murrey wrote when he lived in Bishop, California. He was observing men who were in mourning over their significant others who had passed, and some who were simply lonely–and put pen to paper to craft this country tune.

Too sad?

Here’s the fiftieth new music post for 2024, as I practice consistency in the sharing of our original songs–one each day. Are the lyrics too sad? I would call it a ‘cry-in-your-beer’ song but I think it’s even too sad for that. It hearkens back to ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ except he didn’t die, only his other half crossed over (to the Grand Beyond).

I think I’ll let you listen and tell me how you take this. I’ve given you fair warning as to what it’s about:

Healing lyrics

This song gets me in my gut when I think of my Mom and Dad. I remember how Dad cared for Mom for the last several years of her life (Mom died of Alzheimer’s disease). Dad passed almost two years after Mom. Richard always says Dad died of a broken heart. All I know is Dad was sooo lonely. Intellectually, I know Dad missed his routine of caring for Mom and the yin-yang passion/arguments they’d shared for sixty years. But my heart aches that they didn’t have more good times. And as much as I attempted to help Dad, by suggesting he find a new purpose, socialize with his friends, or such, he would always tell me, “I miss her so” with his voice cracking. UGH

But I love to remember them like this, holding hands and smiling. This is a picture I took when I visited them and took my doggies–Mom loved Beau (and Lou-Lou)!

Mom, Beau on her lap, and Dad

I do attempt to keep my mind on the positive side of life, so I’d prefer to look at the photos I have during healthy times, like this one. And the times when we could all get together. Ah, this song is helping me heal–layer by layer on many levels.

I look forward to having more family time with my daughter and her family when we move up north this summer. It’s going to be a slow crawl for me, mentally, to let go of all Florida has meant to me though. But I believe I can do it. Music is healing! Songs like, Remember, help me heal from the past.

I know memories shift over the years, and I always find there’s a flip side (yin-yang) to Everything.

February 18th – Together. Too much?

It’s February 18th, 2024; Here’s an original song that Richard Murrey wrote after he’d retired and I was still going to an office for work each day. As I played this again today, I asked him, are we together too much? I began working from home in 2017 and he got called back to work for a couple of years (2018-2020). So, we had periods where he was home all day without me, and I was home all day without him.

Icky sweet?

Here’s the forty-ninth new music post for 2024, as I practice consistency in the sharing of our original songs–one each day. Is spending too much time together icky sweet?

We’ve agreed that we never get too much together time. And that’s sweet. The sweetest thing! We each work on our own stuff though, so it’s not like we’re holding hands all day. We do both complete each other’s sentences though. And when we’re watching The Why Files, Ancient Aliens, or America Unearthed (and the like), we often go, “Huh!” at the same time–which cracks us up. We often slightly elbow each other in those moments.

Pieces together

As you know though, I love putting pieces together and integrating stuff. For example, I am always taking parts and pieces of information I come across, or that come my way, and looking to see how I can integrate it into whatever I’m doing, or writing about. And sometimes I do have to work at it–other times it comes easy–the whole of it just falls into place. I love it when a plan comes together.

Words of completion (and healing?)

Speaking of pieces and phrases (as in the song when the singer sings, “You complete me.” I often glimpse the wholeness or completeness of a thing (such as a picture, journey, or life) when I read a poem (like the one I reblogged earlier today from Gray Summers). If I never get to Wales, it will be okay, because I now feel I know someone there. It’s almost as if Gray and his wife are living another version of our lives. And as fellow blogger, Debra, of Jaguar Spirit says at the end of her blog posts, “I am another you.” Oh! That’s why I love sitting with the Kaleidoscope. I feel the truth of my soul at these times.

What pieces have you put together? Did the images or words touch you deeply? Did you feel the completion was soul-deep?

I added a couple more favorite songs to my playlist today that I feel run soul-deep for me. Like, if I died today, my family could play all of the songs on my playlist and “get me.”

Oh, I don’t mean to be morbid (Richard tells me he thinks I ponder death too much), but I’ve never been one to fear death (while watching one of our favorite vloggers yesterday–Bald and Bankrupt: https://www.youtube.com/c/baldandbankrupt), the “everyone fears death” subject came up–thus, here I am sitting with that.

Life? Is Affirmation.

Running? No. Strolling. Yes. Chattering? No. Deliberating. Yes. To others? No. To one’s self. Yes. Deceiving? No. Receiving. Yes. Self sympathy? No. …

February 17th – Let it go and sleep better

It’s February 17th, 2024; Here’s an original pop-rock song for you! Richard wrote this before me, for someone he’d given this gift. When you listen, you’ll understand. As I’ve written in former posts, my husband can sure come up with some unique and quirky lyrics to spin a tale, and Steven Cooper ties it all together with Bubba Hudson doing the singing. Pro mix from Steven’s Nashville, TN music studio.

A pillow that’s ‘udderly’ fantastic

Here’s the forty-eighth new music post for 2024, as I consistently share an original song each day of the year. When you pay for something for a lover and then they leave, taking them with her. I say, “Let it go” often. I said it before the movie Frozen came out and I’ll continue saying it because the act of ‘letting go’ is so freeing! Let’s forgive (ourselves) and let go (of anyone who wants to leave). We’ll sleep better.

When you give a gift, it goes with them

When you give a gift, it goes with them if they leave. Don’t become too attached (to anyone or anything really). It’s only our attachment to anyone or anything that bothers us when it’s gone. Not to be too defeatist, but yeah, the Buddhists have it right about ‘Attachment.’

Remember, a pillow is a lot cheaper than silicone.

February 16th – Throwing it ALL into the wind

It’s February 16th, 2024; This original song is about throwing it ALL into the wind. It’s quite a different sound for us musically, too! If your better half is better off without you or if your passion for your beloved is gone. If your love for a friend is up in the air or you question the friendship. Maybe you feel alone, but wait! You can find your way back again.

Cool piano with a bit of funky wah pedal

Here’s the forty-seventh new music post for 2024, as I consistently share an original song each day of the year. When your lover’s embrace hides a cold steel heart or when you doubt their words, like broken promises–you’ve thrown it all in the wind.

If you don’t think you’ve got a friend

Doubt can kill, or if not kill, can put a stranglehold on any friendship or relationship. Doubt always seems to grow too! If you don’t think you’ve got a friend, you’re probably right. Well, at least it’s a fifty-fifty shot that you’re right.

Sometimes it’s better to just walk away, throw it all in the wind, and be done. But wait! Why not give yourself a chance to approach the situation logically first? Understand that while you’re in ‘fight or flight’ mode, the amygdala in your brain will keep you from thinking rationally.

Try this little process:

  • Give yourself some time to cool down
  • Allow your emotions to calm down (do some EFT / Tapping or other energy psychology if needed–I used to teach EFT and linked to my previous article on it)
  • Make a list (mental or on paper) pros and cons of the friendship (be rational)
  • Check-in with your heart

What does your heart feel about this person? Perhaps giving them another chance is appropriate. But if you’ve already given the person several (or many) opportunities to prove themselves (and the worth of the relationship to you), okay. You have probably reached the end. And often it is better to part as friends, with at least some good feelings, than to wait until the situation becomes unbearable.

February 15th – A song about me!

It’s February 15th, 2024; This original is a song all about me! Haha! Blushing here. Oh, my goodness! Yes, this is one of several songs my husband wrote for me, and strongly hints at my name in the title and chorus. What a follow-up to Valentine’s Day, eh? There’s the expert saxophone of John Heinrich, vocals by our wonderful Bubba Hudson, and a vibrant production mix by Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN.

A snappy jazzy song

Here’s the forty-sixth new music post for 2024, as we carry on consistently with our one-a-day song share for the year. Let us know what you think about this snappy tune! It’s got a powerful sax riff in the bridge and an uptempo beat for dancing–one of my favorite things to do!

Ooh-la-la, yes!

What is ooh-la-la anyway? Haha! I think it’s nearly inexplicable. Much like how Richard and I met after both of us had nearly given up on love.

Cupid worked up a great romance of nearly twenty years for us though! Yes, this is a love song for sure. Am I lucky or what?

Whether you’re single or in a relationship, we hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day everyone!

As for our Valentine’s Day, I bought my own chocolates (some small batch chocolates with caramel and sea salt that was at the cashier stand at Publix–which I almost never impulse buy at the checkout) and I had previously ordered but hadn’t eaten yet, freeze-dried strawberries dipped in chocolate from Kroger. For dinner, I fried up some fresh catfish for Richard. I had a few bites to taste it and make sure it was done though. The fish was good, but I’m not a catfish fan. I made a little Indian meal of lamb saag for myself with some naan bread. (We have both really been into the naan bread recently.) So, we had a simple, but lovely day as we both allowed our bodies to heal from the crud that’s been going around. Cough-cough! UGH

Speaking of strawberries, this was us back in 2017 at the big Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. We’d gotten into the concert area early so I got a selfie pic of us with no one behind us. I think this was the last big concert we attended. I wrote yesterday of the Live performances we saw in 2019 when we went to Ireland, England, and Scotland on our Sacred Celtic Journey, but failed to mention that on our last day in Edinburgh, a jazz festival was going on (at the Grass Market where we’d stayed). We thoroughly enjoyed that as well. I must find some of those pictures to share!
