I’m a slow reader, especially when I read a few pages of any book and seek the similarities and synchronicities it raises in my life. Thus, my apologies to Dawn for taking so long to post my review of Ariel’s Song, her lovely book of poetry.
I love how Dawn organized her book, with genuine Acknowledgments and a Dedication to her daughter, Ariel. I love that Dawn’s poems are poignant and reach deep into one’s soul. I find her words authentic and fascinating, even on subjects one may not explore often if at all.
I’m usually not one to seek out and buy books of poetry, but I do have three on the Kindle app on my phone and I will often read a few pages before I go to sleep (unless I am charging my phone in another room). We turn off our WiFi at night but now, but I get good service on my phone in our new location, so I have picked up nighttime reading again. I do have a reading light and several paperback books, but holding them and turning pages annoys me when I am sleepy. As well, I love to highlight and search within the Kindle books, so there’s that.
I’m quite happy to have Dawn’s book on my phone (in my Kindle app), so I can reference any of her poems whenever I wish. Though I like and love several of her poems, I know me. I will pick it up again in a year or so and find that others will resonate with me. That’s how reading goes for me. For now though, I will share my list of favorites with you next.
My favorite poems within the pages of Dawn’s book, Ariel’s Song are:
Stars Fade
Ariel’s Song
Rapping
Drunken Poet
Evening at the Mosque
The Last God
Melissa and the Angels
Christ’s Sorrow
Hold on to that Dream
My Life is a Desert
When the Morning Comes
Legacy
My Grave
The Age of Elegance
The Sleeping Beauty
The Rusty Tin Can
Psychology
The Girl on the Bus
The Old Man at the Piano
This Land is in My Blood
Springtime
Summer Eden
Sonnet to the Moon
O Thou, England!
April Showers
Where Shall We Go
Dreamcatcher
You and I
The Listener

The Fairies
I’ve also written a short 5-star review on Goodreads for Dawn’s book too!
Ariel’s Song can be found in paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon.

In case you missed it, Dawn was so kind to read and review my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection.
It’s June 3rd, 2024; We have an original rock song about the guy who raised two wives (before me). Yes, this is a true story song written (music and lyrics) by my incredible husband Richard Murrey. Bubba Hudson lent us his voice on this song and the production mix was skillfully mastered by Steven Cooper in his Nashville, TN, music studio. I imagine there were some laughs in the studio while this was being recorded/mixed. Ha!
Teaching in a new way
Here’s the one-hundred-fifty-fifth new music post for 2024, as I consistently press forward with an original song to uplift, educate, and entertain. When I first met Richard, I felt bad for him that he’d gone through so much with his two previous marriages, but later I realized, I’m glad he appreciates me more from having lived through the previous two! Ha!
Who we are today
I believe we are who we are today based on all we’ve experienced in the past. Of course, the more we can laugh while going through the process, the better, but sometimes our journeys are too difficult (to laugh at the time).

It’s June 2nd, 2024; We have an original Christian song about the one who walked the talk. Can we walk in His steps and do wonders? This song was written (music and lyrics) by my loving husband Richard Murrey, vocals by Bubba Hudson, and wonderfully produced by Steven Cooper in his Nashville, TN, music studio.
Preachin’ a new way
Here’s the one-hundred-fifty-fourth new music post for 2024, as I consistently shower ALL with an original song daily to uplift, educate, and entertain. You may preach it your way, but are you walkin’ that path? All fall short. Nobody’s perfect. So, one who walks His talk is rare. I think that’s why He garners much attention, faithfulness, and adoration–yes, even 2,000 years after He walked the earth.
Intention comes before The Word
I believe that when Omniscience God made ‘The Word’ flesh, it was the Intention that manifested as the flesh. This is how ‘The Word’ became flesh. Everything begins with an intention, then thought, word, and deed.
Screen capture: “Jesus said His followers would be known by their fruits. We can be happy while serving, in fact, I believe it’s best when we’re happy while serving. It shows us what our true intention is (to please Omniscience God). Serving and happiness don’t need to be mutually exclusive. It’s like as Christians we are hell-bent on suffering.” — Sheila Murrey

It’s June 1st, 2024; We have an original country song about loving someone. Love is perhaps the feeling that lasts the longest–even throughout eternity. This love song was written (music and lyrics) by my extraordinary husband Richard Murrey, sung by Bubba Hudson, and professionally produced by Steven Cooper in his Nashville, TN, music studio.
Hold the phone
Here’s the one-hundred-fifty-third new music post for 2024, as I consistently send out an original song to uplift, educate, and entertain you. When we’re in love there’s no better feeling! Hold the phone and take a listen:
Open your arms by Richard Murrey
Open your arms and close the door
What a line! Open your arms and close the door. Isn’t it grand when love comes back around and stays? For those of you/us in long-standing love relationships, it’s a glorious feeling!
And what’s more, even after life, we’re never truly alone.

It’s May 30th, 2024; We have a mid-tempo original country song that could apply to anyone who has had a loving relationship end. It expresses the feeling of someone leaving the other behind and the things they might say to the person as they walk out the door. This departure song was written (music and lyrics) by my dear Richard Murrey and skillfully produced by Steven Cooper in his Nashville, TN, music studio.
Take the love and trust we built with promises
Here’s the one-hundred-fifty-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently offer an original song to educate, entertain, or uplift and soothe broken hearts.
Music video with lyrics by Richard Murrey
Take the love and memories right or wrong
When relationships come to an end there are usually both good and not-so-good memories attached to them. In a line of this song, the singer asks the person leaving to take the love and memories with them, whether the memories were right or wrong. In my interpretation and experience, it’s easier to let go of the good memories and hold onto the bad ones; it lessens the pain of their leaving. It’s easier to be mad for a while. I find anger easier to deal with than grief–it seems to pass through me quickly. I can scream into a pillow and get over that faster than I can lay around sad, crying, or pondering the “what could have been” topics.
Of course, there are always easier ways of coping and releasing any ill feelings, such as the following prayer I found on Facebook:

It’s May 29th, 2024; We have an upbeat original song that’s a true story about a wonderful family during the Atomic bomb age. This lively song was penned by my adorable Richard Murrey and produced by Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN.
Becoming each other’s spouse
Here’s the one-hundred-fiftieth new music post for 2024, as I consistently present an original song sure to entertain, and perhaps, educate the masses. This is a lively upbeat story song about Richard’s aunt Millie and her husband, P.J. It’s a true story set in the historical ‘Secret City’ in Tennessee, USA.
My memories of Aunt Millie and the Secret City where she and Uncle P.J. lived and worked
If you don’t know the American history of the ‘Secret City,’ I’d encourage you to look it up. If you don’t think a government can maintain a lie (for years), it’s a prime example that they can! Visiting Oak Ridge, TN, with my husband and his Aunt Millie and Uncle P.J. a few times nearly twenty years ago was an eye-opener! The city had everything! Schools, churches, shopping areas, etc.–all behind a guard gate! For years, people who lived in Knoxville, TN (some 30 miles away) didn’t even know Oak Ridge existed, much less what the people were working on who lived there!
Aunt Millie was the one I give sole credit to for suggesting I find another way around the asthma I’d been suffering with (since age 6) and finding a cure instead of simply putting a bandage on it by taking 5 Pharma meds. Millie had been getting acupuncture for a weird nerve issue and thought I might give it a try to see if it would reduce the asthma symptoms. Little did she know it then, but her idea literally healed me of the asthma I’d experienced for decades! After I healed, that’s when I began documenting all I’d done, which eventually became the book Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally!

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.

It’s May 16th, 2024; Here’s an original country song about the love, guidance, and encouragement of a daddy. This song was beautifully produced (with lovely piano playing too!) by Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN. I know lots of us want to rebel from what one or both parents told us (especially when we’re teens), but as we’ve aged and experienced more from life, we can recollect and appreciate how many truths our parents (and grandparents) presented to us that now, make sense.
Parental love
Here’s the one-hundred-thirty-seventh new music post for 2024, as I consistently share one of our original songs via this blog. Richard was thinking a lot about his daddy when he penned this touching tribute to DADS and the parental love they give. I know Father’s Day is coming up in June and I could have waited til then to share this, but after chatting with a fellow blogger (who’s also a dad), I felt it was appropriate to go ahead and present this:
Speaking of daddy’s, my dad had the worst case of flu in his life (as he explained to me years ago), after taking a flu shot. I took one, and I was okay, but I never took another one–choosing to focus on gut health and immune-boosting foods/supplements.
Shared Crossings
Last night, I attended a Shared Crossings SDE Sharing Group call on Zoom. SDE means Shared Death Experience. The meeting was a little over an hour of folks speaking about their personal experiences shortly before, during, or within a few weeks of someone’s passing (usually someone who was near and dear to them). Everyone who spoke totally believed in their experience, and one person who had experienced this phenomenon recalled it clearly from 35 years ago!
I get that if one hasn’t had one of these surreal existential experiences it’s easy to discount them as pseudo-science, fantastical meanderings, or mere dreams from the subconscious. But after assisting on a small team for Dr. Raymond Moody (Life After Life) last year, and having my encounters with my mom (from the Grand Beyond, which I wrote of in Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection), and dreaming of my dad’s passing, which I wrote about in this blog article: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/, I am OPEN to receive. I am open and very willing! Their love for us continues!
Health Freedom
As a follow-up to the Health Freedom topic I brought up yesterday here, I want to unapologetically share that:
If my husband and I hadn’t worked for the government, if we hadn’t experienced the inefficiencies and mistakes (and greed) of Big Pharma, if we hadn’t experienced the healings from fasting, juicing, and eating raw vegan foods (in 2005), if we didn’t follow doctors like Dr. Tenpenny, Dr. Mercola, Dr. McCullough, and many more (before the mandates came down), we might have taken the shots too. But in my life, I have experienced medical wrongdoings (and so have several family members and dear friends). I have been made worse by medical interventions (which I wrote about in Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally), and I have come through by using simple and alternative approaches. So, I can’t go back. I couldn’t accept the mainstream narrative now if I tried (or if they paid me). I’ve come too far and seen too much. To quote a line from one of our favorite British comedies, Little Britain, “Ye know too much”! Yes, we (Richard and I) know too much.
I appreciate it when friends (and fellow bloggers) willingly share here because the shots are still a controversial and touchy subject for most people! Many people thought we were wrong to abstain from the medical intervention (shots), but we knew our bodies better and couldn’t risk it, especially since it was new technology (mRNA), and rushed at warp speed. I will always bet on natural immunity.
I sincerely hope that anyone who has been ‘shot up’ can find relief and healing from the effects.
The following are but a few of my online comments on the vax subject:

(They) bowed down to Scientism/Materialsm “Central Dogma” of Allopathic medicine…” –by Sheila MurreyScreen capture of a comment I made recently on X: “…there are myriad sides to every story. I’d rather vote for RFK Jr. as we align on all the Health Freedom issues.” –by Sheila Murrey
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. I am working on releasing my annoyance that we can’t respect ourselves enough to see the intricacies of how each of us (as fractals) create the kaleidoscope grand design that freely lives, moves, and breathes. You do you, I’ll do me.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time.
May we all soar in ’24! Everything happens for a reason AND Everything Resolves to Gratitude, so we can live FREE!
Yours in expanding, introspective, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
