December 8th – Cash me in

It’s December 8th, 2024; We’ve got another traditional original country song for those who love Johnny Cash. Cash me in brings Paul Pace back into the studio to sing this tribute to Johnny Cash. Paul just simply has the voice for this marvelous song.

This is the three-hundred-fortieth new music post for 2024! This radio-ready tribute to Johnny was recorded at the exceptional Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This original song sticks in my mind. So, would it be wrong for me to say it’s ‘sticky’? Ha! I love this song sooo much!

Cash me in. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

It’s time to consider new things

I did a separate post for the invite to the Theosophy book club I’m a part of, which begins again in January 2025. Here’s the link to the invitation: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/12/08/integrating-the-spirals-book-club-invitation/

I’ve been moving stuff around in my spa room upstairs and stopped to take a couple of photos, but will offer more tomorrow. This just came to me, the blending of the old (the ‘cell’ of Tweety, I bought at a high-seas art auction after Richard and I were married), and the new lava lamp I bought to enhance my sauna experience. As well, here lies the kaleidoscope I use in the Integrating the Spirals sessions I offer on Zoom. The picture on the chair rail is one Richard and I picked out at an art festival in Florida (I’ve always loved palm trees, so I still have some connections to Florida around this New Hampshire 100+ year old apartment). The sessions I teach integrate us to the old with honor and respect, but also encourage us to slowly incorporate new things into our daily routines, self-organize (projects and such), and acquire and practice sacred wisdom practices.

Here’s one of the cube storage units behind me, along with the Palo Santo and sage I use, several books and card decks, and the lovely Rose of Jericho (Resurrection plant), I received from soulie sister, Debra, of Jaguar Spirit. I’ve yet to water this plant and resurrect it because I am painting a special plate to set it in (after watching several YouTube videos on how to care for it). Oh, and I have my new tooth now also (so I smile more now)! –Sheila Murrey

We got more snow last night

This is where we are now as a country

This is the reason I believe Abraham-Hicks has said for years they are not a fan of quantum leaps. Even if this is the right thing to allow children to do, America is not there yet. The results from a Vern Buchanan poll I received in my email and took part in:

Vern Buchanan poll results on gender-transition procedures for minors (children).

I don’t have a dog in this fight, since I only have granddaughters and I don’t see any of them wanting to be a boy. But one never knows! I would always encourage children to wait until they’ve completed the puberty process though, and even matured through their twenties before making physical bodily changes. But let me know what you think! I am curious as a minister, how I might offer solace and hope to anyone who has a child who wants to make such a bodily change.

Everything happens for a reason and myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

Integrating the Spirals: Book club invitation

I’d love for you to join the group I’m part of for a Theosophical book study! Here’s your official invitation and how to join:

Bradenton and St. Petersburg Theosophical Groups sponsors 

This Zoom Book Study which meets the first and third Fridays of each month 

beginning Friday, January 17, 2025   to study

“The Masters and the Path”by C. W. Leadbeater

Among the early major figures authoring Theosophical Teachings was Mr. Leadbeater (1847-1934) was an eminent seer and occultist, who wrote of the  Masters, Mahatmas, Adepts and Arhats in this book. Their “existence is one of the most important of the many facts which Theosophy puts before us.” 

Drawing on his personal experiences, the experiences of others, and the teachings of the religions, the mystics and the saints, he writes about the personalities of the Masters, Their homes, Their work, Their nature and Their powers. He also describes the various stages of the Path the aspirant must tread to reach Them, from probation to acceptance as Their disciple, and beyond, to Arhat levels. In the book, the author also deals with the topics of Initiations and The Seven Rays.

Charles Leadbeater worked with Helena Blavatsky and Henry Olcott, both founders of The Theosophical Society in 1875. He also co-authored Theosophical books with Annie Besant, then the future president of the Society. 

The Masters, who guided the founding of the Theosophical Society were Master Morya, Master Koot Hoomi, and Master Djwal Khul. They are known as the Trans-Himalayan Masters. Please note that The Master Djwal Khul also wrote the Alice Bailey books.  We should not confuse these Masters with those called the Ascended Masters acclaimed by Guy Ballard of the I Am movement and taken up later by Mark and Elizabeth Prophet. 

Just for clarity, after reaching enlightenment or Nirvana, Masters have earned the right to merge with the All which is called ascension. This would prevent Them from being in touch with humanity since They would be abandoning Their lower physical vehicles of consciousness. Out of compassion and to help us in our struggle to realize Truth They may choose not to ascend but instead keep Their physical bodies. This was the chosen path of the Theosophical Masters whom C.W. Leadbeater met.    

This book may be purchased new or used from online booksellers. It is also available on kindle. A free pdf copy of the book is also available from Judith after you notify her that you wish to join the book study group. Judith’s email is judithsnow22@gmail.com.

December 7th – Merle & me

It’s December 7th, 2024; We’ve got a traditional original country song for those who love Merle Haggard. Merle & me finds Paul Pace singing the rich and smooth vocals. Sooo beautiful. We love this song!

This is the three-hundred-thirty-ninth new music post for 2024! This radio-ready tribute to Merle was recorded at the wonderful Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

Merle & me. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

What do you really own?

I finished one of the books I’d been reading yesterday, Ancient Wisdom for a New Age: A Practical Guide for Spiritual Growth, and it was the last day of the Theosophy Book Club (check my previous post: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/09/07/september-7th-didnt-i-tell-you/), for studying this book too.

The Theosophy Book Club I meet with on Zoom had been meeting every other week to study this book since Nov. 2023! Wow! Over a year to get through it. And one of the statements in the book was, “You own nothing–not your house, your car, or even your body or the talents you have. Everything you have, even if you have “earned” it, is simply part of your fiduciary responsibility. An instrument of the universe, much more is required of you than of others.” I pondered this sentence last night and believe it’s true.

Meme: “The most valuable asset you own isn’t money. It’s your ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you. Mental clarity is wealth.” –Unknown

Invitation to our Book Club

If you would like to join the Theosophy Book Club I meet with (we meet every other Friday at 2:00 pm eastern time zone), on Zoom, let me know in the comments or email me: sheila.murrey(at)gmail(dot)com. Serious students only! Our next book is, The Masters and the Path by Charles W. Leadbeater, and we’re going to start on Jan. 17, 2025.

Gift of fire!

Yesterday, my daughter finished assembling an electric fireplace and shelving unit for our small living room/bedroom. Woo-hoo! We’re so happy with it too! I’m still trying to decide what to put on the bottom shelves. Follow all the steps next:

The white ‘cubes’ storage bookcases that I’d put together in Florida (and said I’d never assemble anything else like these again). My daughter had to move these from the living room to my upstairs spa room BEFORE she could even begin putting the fireplace together. Note: the small bookcase in the corner is now the plant stand in front of the window. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: My daughter on the first assembly day. It took her about 4 hours to put this together over the course of three days, but she did it all on her own! Woo-hoo!. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: End of the first day of assembly. The middle/center portion without backing. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: End of day 2 of assembly. The side bookshelves sections are on and they have lights! An app came with this for my phone that will work the lights (different colors) and even flow with the music that’s on my phone! –Sheila Murrey
Photo: Day 3 assembly. Marie is putting on the backing and adding the fireplace. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: The fireplace is complete and works great! –Sheila Murrey
Photo: I’m continuing to decorate and decide what will go on the bottom shelves of the unit. We may set the DVD player on the top. –Sheila Murrey

Tomorrow, I’ll show you pictures of how the spa room turned out. I moved the cube storage units myself and had to take everything out of my small bookcase so I could use it for a plant stand. The room got a pretty big makeover! Ha! But now, I am sooo happy with it.

December 6th – I ate her lover

Gift of lights!

Last night, we got to do something I’d been wanting to do for YEARS! I LOVE Christmas light!

We went to the New Hampshire motor speedway for their Gift of LIGHTS static display last night! I’ll share some of the photos I took from inside the car, but if you want to see the professional pictures of the lights and find out more information about this holiday spectacular, check out the speedway’s website: https://www.giftoflightsnhms.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAA-bv1mlFyq4UddxAHNJm7NRJltrVB&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3sq6BhD2ARIsAJ8MRwXzUVp_Vhnoyg_ttMFeh_r6_pVb70_iuLi9T1Ie2clwesKfnFD3Rw4aAvwPEALw_wcB

Photo: My first attempt at taking photos of the lights. All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: This was my favorite, since my daughter and I had just painted the wood sign with the word, ‘Believe’ a few days ago. All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: The blue butterfly has been a logo of mine for years. So I couldn’t decide which of these photos to share with you! I love them both. All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: One of the clearest long shot views. All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: Had to get the moose! All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: Had to get the dragons! All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: Had to get the dinosaurs! All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: We all had a fantastic time. All photos are from within the car. –Sheila Murrey

Our three granddaughters sat in the back of the car with the third row of seats down, so it reminded me of a station wagon. They took their coats off and moved all around, getting a view of the lights from nearly every possible vantage point! Ha! I enjoyed hearing them ooh and ahh, and sing a bit too. At the end of the lights, there was a dairy bar type of food truck and we all got something. I got a hot dog as I had not had one in years… (I guess that might qualify as a good segue for today’s song and this post, no? LOL!) and everyone else got the BEST hot chocolate. I didn’t want to drink it so close to bedtime (yet I do love chocolate), though I probably should have since everyone raved about it. Ha!

I actually went to sleep a few hours earlier than usual though last night. I think it was because I was sooo HAPPY!!! (Go figure.)

December 5th – Are you fixed

It’s December 5th, 2024; We’ve got a fun original song for y’all today. Are you fixed features Bubba Hudson on vocals, asking the title question. I suppose anyone dating these days might find this an appropriate song. I know I remember being a bit shocked when I first heard it, wondering why Richard would pen such a song. Ha! It did go over quite well with the crowd when Richard’s band, The Righteous Buds, used to play it out Live.

This is the three-hundred-thirty-seventh new music post for 2024! This original song was recorded at Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN. I remember asking Richard if he thought Bubba kept a straight face while singing it. What do you think?

Are you fixed. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

Keepin’ it real

We may not all understand each other, but at least we can keep it real.

Meme: “Your greatest strength is your realness, the kind that makes fake people uncomfortable and the authentic inspired. –Case Kenny / Her Empowering Mindset

Straight talk

I don’t know. Sometimes I think I should give up trying to make sense of the memes I see. Oh, wait, it’s because there’s so much chaos, and so many sides to every story. Let me see. Perhaps we all need to be fixed. Then again, check out the stats in this meme regarding the drop in sperm count. Maybe all the women who are upset about seeming losing the federal right to an abortion are focused on the wrong aspect of the situation. One day, they may want a baby, and will be unable to conceive.

Meme: “So, let’s get this straight. The United States: 4% of the world’s population; 70% of the Pharmaceutical profits; 50-90% of studies funded by Big Pharma; 38% of 12-19 year olds are pre-diabetic; 7% adults are metabolically healthy; 50% drop in sperm count in 40 years; The most pandemic deaths; The most chronic disease; The most autoimmune conditions; The shortest lifespan. And yet this sick-care system still has the audacity to tell us to sit down & shut up?” –Dr. Will Cole / @DrWillCole

I wonder if Dr. Will Cole and I are related? My ‘Cole’ ancestry goes all the way back to Cole’s Tavern in Plymouth, Massachusetts–see my article: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/02/24/are-you-related-to-james-cole-of-coles-hill-and-coles-tavern-in-plymouth-ma-usa/

Let me get my kaleidoscope out. You can think of it almost as one would when they say, “Let me get my crystal ball.” I look into the kaleidoscope (and teach a class on that) to garner myriad perspectives on an issue.

December 4th – Digital blues

It’s December 4th, 2024; We’ve got a hot new original blues song for ALL today! Digital Blues finds Adam Cunningham again on vocals, singing his heart out! Anyone who has a smart phone or uses a computer, or any technology will enjoy this song.

This is the three-hundred-thirty-sixth new music post for 2024! Initially, Richard wrote the music for this song to use it with other lyrics (smartphone blues) but later rewrote those lyrics to cut a broader path to include all kinds of tech. I love it! Thus, the music track was recorded at Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN. Later, we hired Adam for the vocals on the new song, and had the song was remixed at the hard-working Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

Painting class

My daughter, Marie, and I went to a paint class the other night, and this was the stencil used for the project. Everyone got the same stencil, but each project was still unique based on how we used it. This was the first time I have painted on wood, and our instructor, the shop’s owner, had to show me how to follow the line of the stencil so the paint wouldn’t run underneath the stencil. She had walked by and noticed my brush strokes. But I was artfully painting. because I wanted to create a woodsy effect with the brush–and I don’t think she realized that. It turned out okay, but when the light hit the letter B, I think of that brush stroke ‘lesson’/correction. Afterwards, I did the first brush stroke following the stencil as she’d shown me, but then I went back over it with a bit more paint to achieve the desired effect on the tree and antlers. I just didn’t think to go back over the letter B. Oh well! There’s no Perfection in art! Ha!

Photo: We painted the whole sheet of wood to create the background. Everyone chose different colors. We arranged the stencil on the wood. Believe handprinted wood sign of mine. Step 1. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: We peeled off the backing of the stencil and stuck it to the wood. We only pressed down around each letter, because we would need to peel it off, leaving the only the letter. Believe handprinted wood sign of mine. Step 2. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: We painted each letter. Black was suggested for most letters with green for the tree, brown for the stump and antlers, and red for the hat (and we had the option to pull the stencil off the top of the hat so we could paint the inside of it, which, I did). Plus, I chose to incorporate my special ‘blue’ to honor my less-than one-day-old sister, Christina (That little blue dot). Believe handprinted wood sign of mine. Step 3. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: Yay! Completion! I got the stencil pulled off and the shop owner helped fix some of the wood that pulled up and off which began to ruin that letter B. Go figure. Ha! Step 4. –Sheila Murrey
Photo: At home, the sign is on the second from the top shelf of our living room bookcase. I’ve moved a few of the crystals around now and brought down some more Christmas figurines, so the next time you see a picture of this, it’ll be different. –Sheila Murrey

What does the word ‘Believe’ mean to you?

There are sooo many ways to interpret the word, ‘Believe’ don’t you think? At its most basic, I see the Christmas sign with the word ‘Believe’ and think of ‘Believe in the magic of Christmas,” or “Believe in the Spirit of Christmas.” But taken further, beliefs are so individual to each of us. Take the following post from Alecia on Facebook:

Facebook post: “Doesn’t feel much like people are allowed to make mistakes anymore.” –Alecia Rice

And my comment I posted in reply to Alecia’s Facebook post:

Screen capture: “Sometimes it’s simply a boundary thing. I’ve let some friends go because they needed to heal. And sometimes I’ve left relationships because I needed to heal. Nobody’s Perfect, you’re right. But a lot of us have ‘perfection’ complexes, savior complexes, etc. etc. I don’t believe in ‘cancel culture’ because I believe we’re all multidimensional people with our own moral ambiguities. I actually embrace moral ambiguity and to me, it keeps us humble, vulnerable, and human. All I can do is hold space for people, and be there for them if they want to talk. I offer a safe place. My mom raised me to be a best friend, and that’s what I strive to be in ALL ways. Oh, and I’m a critical thinker, Truth seeker, and explorer of deep subjects. OM” –Sheila Murrey
Facebook reply from Alecia: “Wise perspective… I have friends across the spectrum of beliefs that I don’t agree with and that’s ok. That’s how I learn about myself and others…” –Alecia Rice and my reply: “ditto… soulie sister…” –Sheila Murrey

Everything happens for a reason

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

Yours in expanding, coexisting, spiraling consciousness,

December 2nd – Your jeans look good tonight

It’s December 2nd, 2024; We’re mixing it up a bit for you today with a modern country original song. Your jeans look good tonight is sung by the wonderful Angela Hurt. We love the frisky way she sings this! Recorded at the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-thirty-fifth new music post for 2024! I love two-steppin’ to this rockin’ country song–and I’d love to do it more! I’m hoping to get a local band to play this song, but I guess just my wishin’ won’t make it happen. I’ve got to go knock on some doors!

I collect prayers. I read them, along with a few pages from a variety of Sacred texts whenever I feel I’ve moved too far down the emotional spiral. Here’s the prayer that touched my heart yesterday–the squirrel got my attention and drew me in (my mom loved squirrels). I humbly thank the Blue Collar Theologian for this beauty: https://bluecollartheologian.blog/2024/12/01/december-2024-prayer/

I commented on the prayer post because several lines deeply resonated with me. Here’s a bit of what I commented:

I am going to link to this tomorrow in my daily music blog post because I am writing on ‘Believe.’ And my daily posts have been my self challenge on being consistent too!

Consistency has come to me late in life (I’m 62). Never to late to learn! Never too late for the Lord either! Ha! (My dad got baptized a year before he crossed over. He was 79.) 

I’m so grateful to blogger pal, Linda Lewis

Screen capture: Handmade Haven by Linda. An Etsy shop.

I can’t show pictures of everything I ordered yet, because one was a Christmas present for my daughter. But here’s a sampling of the Christmas cards I ordered and the special gift Linda included in my order. I love how every card is unique and that Linda handwrites each card! What a gift of her spirit and time! I also love how she packaged the cards with a bow (that I didn’t have to destroy to remove)!

I am also so thankful for the GIFT of the bookmark that Linda included with my order! I promptly placed it right into the current book I’m reading (nod to another blogger pal, 80smetalman: He Was Weird). I love that with each project that is painted, the multifaceted nature of life means that no two creations are ever exactly the same!

Look! A handwritten letter and note! I love this! And the wonderful bow, Linda wrapped around the box of handmade cards! —Handmade Haven by Linda. An Etsy shop.
I love each unique Christmas tree! I looked through them all and each one is different! —Handmade Haven by Linda. An Etsy shop.
I also LOVE this example of ‘wood burning’ handmade bookmark that Linda included in my order! Just the idea of it uplifted my heart when I opened the package! —Handmade Haven by Linda. An Etsy shop.

Why I practice and teach, Integrating the Spirals

When I see memes on LinkedIn or other social channels, I typically respond with a brief comment about how I can help anyone going through certain experiences or challenges. See the meme and my reply:

Meme: “The average person feels cheated by the dream they were sold. The schools didn’t prepare them for this. The jobs didn’t give them enough money, time, or security. Since that’s all they were taught, they don’t see any other way to live, so instead of launching into the unknown and figuring it out–which is the origin story of most successful people–they latch onto any distraction, pleasure, or belief that will help them numb the pain.” –Unknown
My comment: And that’s what I do. Teach lessons to expand people’s perspectives. It’s a DE-Program process. Integrating the Spirals. –Sheila Murrey

Stay tuned, tomorrow I’ll show you how this ‘Believe’ sign turned out and what it means to me

Photo: Believe handprinted wood sign of mine. My daughter and I went to a paint class the other night, and this was the stencil used for the project. (Everyone got the same stencil, but each project was still unique based on how we used it.) –Sheila Murrey

December 1st – Call me your lover

It’s December 1st, 2024; We’ve got a grand original rock song for you on this first day of the last month of the year! This song was inspired by Richard’s alter ego many years ago. (I think he wrote this while he was living in Bishop, CA.) Call me your lover is sung by the fabulous Bubba Hudson and recorded at Steven Cooper’s Nashville, TN music studio.

This is the three-hundred-thirty-fourth new music post for 2024! At least a few of the lyrics reminded Richard of our favorite TV show, Game of Thrones. So, Richard created a good many Photoshop images to create a visually-stunning music video from Game of Thrones. Enjoy!

Call me your lover. Music, lyrics, and music video with original Photoshop images by Richard Murrey.

The carrot for me to get Richard to go on the Sacred Celtic Journey with me in 2019, was to get tickets to a Game of Thrones day tour (hike) on our first full day in Ireland. Here’s my post about that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/12/03/game-of-thrones-tour-dublin-ireland-winterfell/

No, it really didn’t take me buying us that tour for Richard to go with me. He loved nearly every minute of it, and had wanted to go (sort of at the last minute), after my dad passed away and Richard didn’t want me to ‘go alone.’ I wouldn’t have been alone though. I was going on the Sacred Celtic 13-day Journey with Patricia McGivern and friends from Florida. But someone cancelled and Patricia let us know, so everything just fell into place for Richard to go with me. (For my blogs about that journey, which ended up being my longest vacation ever, read part 1: Ireland, part 2: England, and part 3: Scotland.

Just when you couldn’t believe how talented Richard is…

November 30th – First friends

It’s November 30th, 2024; We’ve got a true story song for you today. I wrote the lyrics and Richard polished for phrasing, then we had Lisa Brokop sing this heartfelt song–Lisa was recently inducted into the British Columbia country music hall of fame. This song also includes soulful saxophone from John Heinrich because the music track was originally recorded at Steven Cooper’s Nashville, TN music studio. The remix was later recorded at the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-thirty-fifth new music post for 2024! Always “live while you’re living” as the song says. That was a phrase that came to Sheila from her first friend, Joey Duvall. Joey was the inspiration for the song when he passed away in Jan. 2021 after receiving one of the first COVID vaccines in December of 2020. Joey was a nursing supervisor who was continuing his education at the time of his death. He had a flu shot the November prior to receiving the COVID vax that December. And then, just two weeks after that, he crossed over to the Grand Beyond. (Refer to my previous article: https://sheilamurrey.net/2021/10/20/cvid/

Joe’s untimely passing was crushing to me and my longtime friends, April, Carol Lee, and Beverly, who’d all known each other since ages 3 and 4. It’s still emotionally upsetting to write about this, even now. Joe’s obituary: https://www.mariettatimes.com/obituaries/2021/01/joseph-michael-duvall/

I have nurses in my family. And I was named after my mom’s deliver nurse, Sheila. I never wanted to become a nurse, but I often wore my aunts nursing cap when I was a child and she’d stayed with us for a few weeks during her time in nursing school. One of my first cousins, Carol Sue, was a nurse and died of cancer after having her child. Another first cousin, Laurie, was a nurse turned manager and ran several dialysis clinics–driving many distances between them.

I have been surrounded by nurses my whole life. Even the Acupuncture physician who saved my life back in 2005 had been an oncology nurse for 26 years before she went back to school for Acupuncture and became a Doctor of Oriental Medicine because she kept seeing teenage girls come into to the medical practice for breast cancer oncology treatments! She wanted to get to the root cause of why this kept happening. I wrote about Joan’s story in Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally.

What we know now

This is the best article and timeline I’ve seen yet, regarding the COVID vaccines:
