As promised, here’s a photo of the Rose of Jericho plant not quite 24 hours after setting it up in a deep dish pie plate with a bit of water. I think I will add more water to it tomorrow.
Thank you, sister Debra of Jaguar Spirit for this Resurrection plant!
Speaking of plants, we watched this great documentary tonight called, Kiss the Ground. You might want to watch it. It offers some wonderful ways to reduce the carbon in our atmosphere. And Woody Harrelson narrates it.
Yours in expanding, revolving, doing-my-egoless-best, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

My daughter and I had a long conversation last night.
She talked with me about trauma and I intently listened. She told me about a great Gabor Mate and Mel Robbins YouTube video she’d watched.
I told her about the three year old Shawn Ryan podcast I’d just finally watched (with Lee Strobel as Shawn’s guest).
We talked about Elon. And I went on a short rant about how Elon Musk was the Left’s darling when he was a Democrat and did business in California (we still see Teslas in many of the TV shows and movies we watch–they used to LOVE him!), but they cast him aside and encouraged people to throw Molotov cocktails at Teslas and Tesla dealerships when Elon joined forces with Trump and set out to uncover government waste and abuse with DOGE).
We talked about Pharma. And I brought up the chat I’d had with a fellow blogger, which I wrap up later in this blog article. I explained Homeopathy and how Pharma pushed it aside and took over health, much like the whole pyramid scheme Insurance industry has convinced people that they must pay them for “peace of mind.” (And I have called BS on THAT for decades! My parents didn’t believe in paying for insurance either, after my mom worked as a fire/property casualty insurance agent for several years when I was young.)
We talked about when my dad, my children’s papaw, and how after he passed away I never really grieved for him (as I thought I would) because I’d had that vision of his soul departing (https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/). That vision changed my whole world view about death, though granted, it had been changing a lot prior to, which I wrote about in Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. (Find links for my books at the end of this blog article.)
After our conversation, a few thoughts on the past (past events) came up for me:
I was bulled from the time I was young, perhaps 4 or 5–before Kindergarten, by a neighbor girl whose mother said, “She plays hard/rough with her cousins.” We were both only children and the same age, so my mom almost didn’t believe I was getting beat on, bitten, hair pulled, etc. until I came in with marks on me! Then the two moms had to agree that the girl and I couldn’t play together anymore. But we lived just a few houses apart from each other, so it made things challenging for a few years as she’d try to get other kids to play on her side and that upset me. I have always taken up for the “underdog.” And yes, sometimes that’s come back to bite me, because the person I thought was an underdog was really a bully (in disguise or because they hadn’t fully healed their own wounds).
My mission now is to untangle as much as I can on the topic of “the need to Control” (which I maintain is the opposite of Freedom), so our three granddaughters don’t suffer bullying–two have already told me they’ve been bullied, which makes me mad and sad.
Many years (from the time I was in my late twenties to mid thirties), I attracted a bully/drug-addict husband who hit me and even once fired a gun at me! (I never pressed charges but did get a restraining order when he got into my secured office building after hours one day and started screaming all through the building to find me in my bosses office working over time. I was so humiliated and embarrassed. I made a plan to leave and got out as soon as I could. I had two children from my first husband so it made leaving that second one even more challenging. I still feel guilty for putting my children through the experience of living with that man for several years.
I believe much of this boils down to people feeling the need to Control–EVERYTHING. And when people feel out of Control internally, they try to Control everything externally, that is outside of themselves in their external environment. And that’s when the problem began.
From chats and comments
Certain words still challenge/trigger me. I’m a work in progress. I’m not perfect (nobody is). I’m human. I am an introvert by nature and is probably why Buddhism attracts me, but over the years, due to having to work full-time to support two children (mostly as a single parent, even when I was married), I had to learn how to talk with people, actively listen, engage, earn trust, elicit responses, even speak in public (though I learned to sing in front of an audience at an early age in school and in church).
I prefer nature to man-made anything. When I hear words like MISINFORMATION, I tend to go on a rant. Sorry. Not sorry. It’s who I am.
The following are last two comments I made on a fellow blogger’s article:
Searching on the phrase, “Nurse authors in Aromatherapy,” offers a great source of information. I hear you about not wanting to complete an Aromatherapy course/certification at this point in life. And not giving advice out of one’s depth.
I wrote my holistic health book from personal experience, one’s anecdotal evidence of how I continued to uncover and experiment to find solutions to several health issues. I doubted whether it would sell and experienced procrastination for years while writing it and still bump up against the psychological pitfalls or syndromes that it won’t sell, but as a writer and analyst, I wanted to document my journey to support the few others, or my family, who might be so inclined to take it upon themselves to relieve any suffering. Perhaps it was my way of Paying it Forward in service to humanity. I don’t know.
I am now embarking on writing a thesis kind of metaphysical book that challenges my mind each time I read research for it, much less choose what to include or remove from the manuscript. It’s quite an ambitious undertaking! I hope it sells, but even if it doesn’t, I will have stretched myself in untold ways—and it’s definitely more inspiring than knitting or working a puzzle to engage my aging brain! Ha!
I don’t want to go back to school either, as I am way too good at challenging myself these days without some professor beating me over the head.
The last comment on this subject I wrote to the same fellow blogger:
Now, if we could only get the doctors and other health professionals who guide governments to follow the leanings you have so aptly expressed. Look at the harm ‘they’ have caused!
But yes, I hear you. I state many times in my book that I am not a doctor and believe in interviewing any and all health professionals we hire to work on our bodies to ensure they “do no harm” as the Hippocratic Oath dictates. Oh, for a brain trust of doctors like Dr. McCullough who are actual practicing doctors, i.e. The Frontline Doctors, and those who signed The Great Barrington Declaration to lead political health directives instead of a talking head (Fauxi) who never treated one Covid patient, to guide us during any other pandemic! I agree. Books are time capsules. (That’s why I prefer writing blogs I can update, versus writing books.) Science progresses. We need real-time critical information and egoless thinking next time around.
While I hope my holistic health book helps at least one person, I wrote it primarily to expand people’s belief in their body’s ability to heal. So many have forgotten that (until they cut their finger).
Thank you again for this discourse. You can tell how passionate I am about healing. ❤️🩹
And your gentleness does help me balance when I rant. OM
At this point I felt our comment/chat conversation had gone “full circle.” I haven’t heard back and hope he’s okay. I so enjoy our chats.
In closing
Separately, and to close this particular blog post article, I will say that as for some Democrats (because I know not all of them are bullies, sore losers, or the like), I feel this post sums them up, regarding some of the more crazy insane antics they’ve pulled recently:

I thought I’d share a quick post to capture some comments I just made to a fellow blogger, on what led me to write the book, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally, and why I love nature’s way of healing using herbs! (And yes, Richard got me pronouncing ‘herbs’ with the H sound at the beginning as I’d always learned/heard it pronounced ‘erbs.’ but that’s why stay ‘open to receive’ new knowledge all the time. Ha!
From chats and comments
When things like this come up during my social media chats/comments, I capture them, but I have sooo many, that I don’t often take the time to turn them into a blog post. Today’s an exception. I thought this was important to share since many of us are just now getting back outside and planting a garden or flowers.
If you’re scared of nature, it can feel intimidating, I know. But I’m teaching our twin 8 year old granddaughters to embrace, not fear, nature. Yes, things can happen, like bee stings, and they’ve happened to me too, but there are natural cures! Nature always provides a way!
The beginning of our chat, when I speak of Frankie Fella, a very curious cat who seems to love bees while outside in the garden.This discussion about Frankie and the bees led to my recall of a time I was once stung by a wasp!Since I can’t use the word, ‘cure’ in my book or marketing it, I sometimes use it in comments or conversation. It definitely packs more of a punch than ‘reversing’ asthma. I usually don’t go into this much of my history, but this comment is with a longtime blogger pal, so there’s that.When the subject of anaphylactic shock came up, I thought I would acknowledge that it’s quite serious, while other stings can be gently remedied in the moment we’re out in nature. Obviously, now that some of us have developed such intense allergies, due to our toxic environment, medical treatment is advised.
A few of my favorite healing herbs
At the time of my commenting/chatting (as in the preceding screen captures), I was reading this article and choosing some herb seeds to plant:
Dandelion. I don’t have to plant this herb. It grows wild in our backyard and since we use no pesticides or herbicides, etc. I can eat it and make tea with it often. See the article at The Sacred Science site: https://www.thesacredscience.com/backyard-medicineStinging Nettle. I love this tea. I won’t grow it though. It’s too tricky for me to harvest. See the article at The Sacred Science site: https://www.thesacredscience.com/backyard-medicineYarrow. I grew this herb when we lived in Florida. It grew very well for me. And I needed it at that time. I used to harvest it and make a salve out of it with coconut oil. I used it for bug bites and skin rashes. I love it and will attempt to grow it in a pot here in New Hampshire though now I have cleared the issue that had once caused me to have skin rashes. Yes, sometimes it takes YEARS to clear physical issues in the body. See the article at The Sacred Science site: https://www.thesacredscience.com/backyard-medicine

Three cheers for getting this neurotoxin, Fluoride, out of our tap water! We haven’t drank tap water for decades, but we still shower in it. With all the tooth decay still going on in people’s mouths, I can’t believe drinking fluoride has prevented one cavity.
From having worked at the CDC as a contractor during one of my last working years, I can tell you, people are human. Even when they KNOW all of these emails are part of the public record, they just cannot contain themselves or their language! I don’t doubt one bit that this is true:
Screen capture from the World Economic Forum website not hiding its affiliation with Nestle. Nope! It’s all front and center for ALL to see! Go figure. Ugh.Screen capture: If you don’t believe me about Nestle stealing water, check out the many stories about this topic on Google or other favorite search engine. We’ve seen their trucks come into small towns for years, presumably empty, until they’ve filled their tank with water from public wells.

I am all for removing artificial food dyes from food! Especially NOW that I’m learning they’re made from PETROLEUM! I mean, we’ve been told not to eat Vicks salve and Vaseline, but all the while (I don’t even want to know for how long), we’ve all been ingesting artificial food dyes made from petroleum?!? OMG!
You might laugh when you see this, but I didn’t. And yes, I had to delete a comment and unfriend a longtime associate who I worked with about 20 years ago over the comment he made to me on this one. Word to the wise, you’ve been warned!

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,

The social channels where I am most active (after thoroughly testing out others in 2024, I’ve dropped a few. My stats revealed almost no one opened my blog posts from Substack, Locals, or Instagram. I still have accounts there but I won’t be posting to those anymore):
Chiropractic (that included masseter muscle massage and trigger point therapy on the jaw) and I continue to massage that masseter muscle, though it doesn’t hurt anymore, which is a good sign.
Acupuncture (have done 3 sessions so far–the dowsing rods tell me there’s no end to the number I’ll need)
And most recently, two supplements that are supposed to do the trick–GABA and Taurine. These are amino acids. I am taking them twice a day on an empty stomach. We’ll see.
Other health news
I continue to follow The HighWire because I love keeping up with the latest vaccine news:
This was a GREAT episode! Learn why you didn’t need the flu shot this year. Cleveland Clinic’s latest study suggests people who got the flu vaccine were nearly 27% more likely to GET the flu! Go figure. Watch it here: https://thehighwire.com/watch/Here’s a screen capture of that Cleveland Clinic flu vaccine study report: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.30.25321421v3Meme: Be selective. This suggests the old adage of Quality over Quantity when it comes to ‘having friends’ is true when it comes to keeping emotionally healthy. To answer a friend’s question about hospital food and how good it is for a person. Here’s a quick health meme from Dr. Raymond Nichols courtesy of health researcher, Zane Sampson.
