As I have written previously, I am of English, Irish, Dutch, German, and Native American lineage (Cherokee tribe). And my grandmother was persecuted for being Native American. Recently, friend and fellow blogger, Michael of 80sMetalMan and Peaceful Rampage reminded me of an old book, Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation by John Ehle (1988). I’d begun reading this book years ago and had put it down for a time when I had a bit more control over my emotions. And now seems like a good time to finish reading it.
I’m thinking about reading some of the book aloud and presenting it on my YouTube channel. Would anyone be interested in watching or listening to something like that? Let me know in the comments.
Here’s a few pages of interest from my initial read of the book. I’ve got a few more chapters to read of it before I can say that I’ve completed it. I pick it up and put it down because some of the stories are a bit hard for me to process emotionally. Aww! Y’all know I’m sensitive.

There are several pictures within the book that are fascinating to see.

I’ve been taking two supplements—GABA and Taurine for about a month. I still hear the tinnitus.
And I went to a holistic health practitioner who cleared my morphic field among other things, similar to craniosacral work. This shifted the tone and severity noticeably!
I checked in with my dowsing rods and was directed to do Acupuncture 5 more times; I’ve got another acupuncture appointment scheduled for next week. No more chiropractic and no more craniosacral (though I actually like the chiropractor and the holistic gal better than the acupuncturist)! Ha! That tells me for sure that my conscious mind is not ‘in the way of’ the dowsing results!
I had taken fish oil for a few years but never to relieve a specific issue. So, we’ll see if it relieves the tinnitus! I’ll write another post in a month or so on this topic. Hopefully, it will be the last!

I am taking a break from posting, from social media, and from FOOD, for awhile. I need to practice what I preach and re-center myself. In case I haven’t mentioned it publicly yet, I have recommitted my life to Jesus the Christ. If you’re wondering why, continue reading. If not, it’s okay for you to stop reading now. Thank you for stopping by my blog.
My best friend asked me why–what made me come back to Jesus. Truth is I don’t feel I ever left, but I do feel I was dancing on a fine edge during my Awakening. But I feel the Holy Spirit caught me!
These wars, the BS ‘Woke’ stuff, and several excellent Shawn Ryan videos on YouTube caught my attention. And I realized Awakening wasn’t ‘Woke’! I may not have even realized I was sliding Left of center, and leaving Jesus, because it had become a gradual, subtle shift for me. Perhaps the whole debacle/debate between Wes Huff and Billy Carson was a turning point for me. I dived deep down THAT rabbit hole a couple of months ago!
Thanks to several ‘Left’ friends commenting stuff to me on several of my Facebook posts, it got me thinking. Though I never felt I left Jesus, I must not have stated so enough times there for them to know. I must have been hiding my beliefs behind all of my talk of nature, use of herbs, natural healing, alternative medicine, visiting sacred sights, crystals, talk of the afterlife, visions, dreams, and the like. So, I’m writing this to clear up any confusion.
Thanks to the Biden administration mandating the Covid vaccines and costing many people their jobs, they politicized HEALTH. That definitely got my attention. All the censorship. That’s a big reason why I even followed politics for the last several years.
Thanks to President Trump and his new administration, I feel more hope. Many people who lost their jobs under the Biden administration have been offered their jobs back, but there is still a LOT of wrongs to be made right. I feel more Freedom, but some censorship remains. Chemtrails continue. Missing children have yet to be found. Our southern border looks much more secure (as it should have always been), but there are still plenty of criminals afoot who need to be prosecuted—not all of them are illegal aliens either. Some are at the highest levels.
And I had a dream that Hollywood was simply a false god. Most of the TV shows and movies we were watching were lulling people to sleep, or into a false sense of security. What if I had been studying the Bible and other sacred texts instead of watching those things? What if I spent that time in relationship with Jesus? Hollywood is quite simply the FATHER OF LIES! All they do is lie and pretend. So, why am I giving them ANY of my precious time?
Now, I am focusing on my personal health. I am doing a 3-day fast (I will drink water but eat no food), and after that I will eat one meal about noon each day and see how my body responds to that.
Your brain will constantly rewire itself to suit the information that you feed into it. If you constantly complain, gossip, find excuses, etc. it will make it much easier to find things to be upset about, regardless of what is happening around you. Likewise, if you constantly search for opportunities, abundance, love, and things to be grateful for, it will make it much easier to find a reflection of those things around you. It takes practice, but over time, this is a very powerful way to reshape your reality. ❤️ —@anewme.au
Thank you
IF you’re still with me, thank you.
If you can offer any wisdom, I’m all ears. What spiritual or sacred books are you reading that you feel I could benefit from? What does a personal relationship with Jesus look like?
Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with myriad sides to every story
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse 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 THRIVE in ’25!
Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), balancing, spiraling consciousness,

I love working with a kaleidoscope, a mirror ball, and trees to help me understand various perspectives! I use these tools to benefit myself and others! Practicing my method, Integrating the Spirals helps me let go of judgment and gives me more ease in my day-to-day life when I become aggravated (triggered) by something someone says that I don’t agree/align with.
Lies are one perspective
Having been married to two former husbands who consistently lied to me for various reasons (one was an alcoholic who gaslit me and cheated, and the other was a drug-addict who also cheated by the end of our relationship), I finally sought help via 12 step-groups, group and individual counseling therapy. I read many self help and personal transformation books, and years later, began writing books myself. Let me be clear, I do not condone domestic violence or trafficking in any form or for any reason.
I find the topic of Lies fascinating though and I have worked with clients one-on-one, using such tools as mirror balls and kaleidoscopes, to find new perspectives—and always with the thought in mind to self empower clients (and mySelf) by reaching for the next better feeling thought!
So far, we’re just getting started. But the parts of the trial I’ll be focused on (and what so far, I think is going to be the crux of the trial) are highlighted in the following paragraph (from the USA Today story link above):
Now, that the Diddy trial is over, we shall see what his sentence is. I had a feeling though, that he wasn’t going to be found guilty on the worst of the charges.

Apparently, resurrecting a Rose of Jericho plant isn’t always easy. Here I go again, after asking and receiving some advice from my soulie sister and fellow blogger, Debra.
The advice? Debra said, “rinse it with a few drops of H202 in water. The oxygen in hydrogen peroxide purifies. (It works on fruits and vegetables.)”
I think I’m getting somewhere with this plant though, because it had less mold on it after two days than it did the last time.
(If you missed the earlier posts about this plant, click or tap here, here and here.)
Here I go again… attempting to resurrect a Rose of Jericho
I thoroughly rinsed (in cold water) the Rose of Jericho and spritzed it with the aforementioned hydrogen peroxide. I also let it sit in the water that still had a bit of hydrogen peroxide in it for about 30 minutes before letting it dry and replacing it back in the deep dish pie plate.

I’ll let you know if it molds again or if it makes it.
Bonus! Photo – two angles of same: My Dill is sprouting already outside in the planter. It’s early! Per the package instructions. I’m thrilled! –Sheila Murrey

The work of resurrecting a Rose of Jericho plant is taking a bit more time and effort than I’d imagined. I happened to notice that it was starting to gather some white mold on it and I have no idea why. But I thought it best to rinse off the mold and clean out the pie plate and go for a redo.
My soulie sister and fellow blogger, Debra sent me this plant months ago as a dried up plant. Debra wrote that I should watch some YouTube videos to understand and learn how to resurrect it, and I have. Many videos! (If you missed the first couple of posts about this plant, click or tap here and here.)
I thoroughly rinsed (in cold water) the Rose of Jericho and cleaned the deep dish pie plate. I removed all the former shells, rocks, and crystals I’d placed in the plate with the plant previously. My thought was that they might have contributed to the issue. I had found some river rocks out in the yard, washed and dried them to use in the plate to hold the plant suspended over the distilled water.

Here’s the photo (top and bottom) of the empty, finished deep dish pie plate that I had forgot to take and post months ago:

I’d like to say this is the end of the story and the plant is thriving, but unfortunately, I checked on it a few days after I’d taken these photos and it was covered in white mold AGAIN! Thus, I repeated the process and am giving it another chance at life. I’ll take another photo in a few days, if it makes it and post another update. Fingers-crossed. Reiki given. And all of the above!

I think many people are here, living this life on earth, to learn PATIENCE. We have multifaceted issues and challenges to correct and solve.
