Considering the ways in which we can receive good from bad situations. Or learn from the bad actors that show up in our lives. Sometimes good people do bad things. Sometimes bad people do good things.
Like me, you’re probably already screening your calls and putting “Please text first” under your signature and contact information on emails. It sure seems we can’t be careful enough!
Some recent examples of scam messages:
I liked a Facebook group and had hoped to chat with someone from the project about offering them some of our original music. Nope! A scammer had taken over and replied to me instead:I don’t answer these types of chat messages. Ugh!Thankfully, this spammer didn’t get money from me. I was actually going to send the person money via a post for product from Barbara O’Neill. Ugh! My bank wouldn’t allow the payment to go through and that’s when it hit me that it had probably been a scam.I saw this and thought I’d share it because even I often find it difficult to spot the difference (spot the spammers). I’m glad I got this handy information from Chase bank!
The older I get, though I have been a tech professional for over 35 years, I can be fooled too. I just have to slow down and REALLY EXAMINE sales pitches, emails, and messages very carefully before spending any of my limited income.
Now, not to worry, I’m still having fun making movement videos.
I am focusing on feeling good. I’ve got no time (or money) for the scammers or spammers.
Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Unfortunately, I continue to get job scam offers, though I retired more than a year and a half ago! And I have removed myself (my information) from the job board sites (Dice, Indeed, etc.)
But here we go, getting scam texts, emails, even requests on WhatsApp! Ugh. I quit answering my phone and use “Please text first” under my signature and contact information on emails I send out. I wish it hadn’t come to this, but alas, we can’t be careful enough!
Here is a recent example:
First message came in to me via Text. (So, the scammer had my phone number. Note they didn’t have or use my name. And there were typos in the message.)
Initially, the offer sounded interesting. Robert Half has my information including my email address, so I expected I would receive an official email from them. Nope!
Hours later, I received this message in WhatsApp. And THIS is why I hate using WhatsApp (but one of my groups insists on using it. I hesitated on joining their WhatsApp group for weeks though… ugh! I finally caved.)I blocked and reported Ana, though I really don’t know what that accomplishes. At least they can’t message me anymore.
New ventures
I practice (and teach) Integrating the Spirals. Mostly because “Too many deep lessons in life aren’t learned the first time around.”
And I just started making movement videos (not quite dance or exercise videos), thus I am simply calling them movement videos.
I’m focusing on having fun and feeling good. I’ve got no time (or money) for the scammers.

I know I haven’t written much lately. I’ve been reblogging more than writing personal thoughts. We’ve had a lot going on here and anticipate a busy summer. Thus, forgive me, but I imagine most of you are busy too!
We had an excellent time with our three granddaughters; our 13 year old was lead in the school play (Matilda Jr. if you know it), and graduated (called a promotion ceremony here). We attended both at her middle school. She finished 8th grade with academic honors. And we were thrilled for her!
Our three granddaughters walking into the school, hand-in-hand. Isn’t that so cute? (And no, I am not allowed to post faces publicly.) She wore a long dress but added a shirt on top that I had given her years ago, which made her ensemble all the more special to me. She thought it might be cool in the auditorium. It wasn’t. But her dress had spaghetti straps and she liked the look of the shirt as a cover; I think it worked well too. Aww!
Spiral thought: As the children walked to receive their certificates of accomplishment, I noticed that many of the girls looked older than 13 years of age. I don’t know if it’s from the additives in our foods or what, but I had a moment when I thought, “Guys should ‘card’ every girl before asking them out.” Yes, apparently I have been watching too many YouTube true stories of young people falling into bad situations. Ugh!
At any rate, from simply having one errant thought or observation like this, I then proceeded to work my spiral process (silently to myself in that moment), as to why such a thought occurred to me! I quickly shifted back to Presence to truly enjoy the whole event—including family photos at its conclusion. No tears. No worries!
I say this to show you that I am continually clearing thoughts for myself that crop up, that are either from some negative past experience, or from something negative I’ve watched. I sure don’t want to allow negative thoughts to grow or bring about any further negative experience in my life or anyone in our circle! And yes, Expanding Consciousness does allow for ALL manifestations. Think weeds in the garden! We must have an awareness our thoughts so we CAN prune the unwanted ones! That’s the whole purpose of mindfulness and meditation!
Now, my Theosophy book club continues, as well as personal book zooms with authors (let me know if you’re interested in booking those with me). I also continue to attend the lovely and lively monthly Dr. Bruce Lipton zoom calls—I went Live with Bruce on the most recent call, and I will post a snip of that on my YouTube channel soon. I also have a new song to drop on YouTube tomorrow or Wednesday.
I’m preparing for vacation (to attend my 45th high school reunion a few states away mid July). And I have been and will continue spending time with our 8 year old twin granddaughters (as their out of school for the summer). Our eldest is visiting Florida right now for a couple of weeks, otherwise she’d be watching the twins and I would just pop in whenever.
Reviews on Yelp
I have recently decided my reviews for local restaurants and such are probably better off residing on Yelp, though my daughter likes Google better for these types of reviews.
Here’s a recent positive review I posted, and yes, occasionally I post a bit negative leaning review—to keep things honest.
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,

Sheila’s books on Amazon
My meme: Books by Sheila –Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
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.
The book, Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation
Book cover of Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation by John Ehle,Book page image: Noting the purchase of most of Kentucky and central Tennessee from the Cherokees against some British proclamation, Daniel Boone, and “Possession is nine-tenths of the law” statement, which seems to come from British law.Book page image: Noting President George Washington’s belief that American Indians could be inculcated through “the white man’s knowledge of cultivation and the arts.”Book page image: Displaying how I mark up many of the pages within the book when I find something very interesting/fascinating.Book page image: Noting more about the Moravians and whiskey.Book page displaying an image. There are several pictures within the book that are fascinating to see.

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.
Yours in expanding, revolving, doing-my-egoless-best, limitless, spiraling consciousness,

It’s November 14th, 2024; We’ve got a modern country song for you today. Adam Cunningham offered his smooth soulful vocals in this true story song. Penned by my husband, Richard Murrey, this is a lively and poignant story from his youth–and there’s a lesson in it.
This is the three-hundred-seventeenth new music post for 2024! Richard loves to offer a moral-of-the-story in his unique story songs. And this one serves us well, especially after watching Mad Max and Mad Max 2 last night. This radio-ready original song was produced by the wonderful Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
I love Richard’s life stories. Richard has taught me sooo much in the 20+ years we’ve been together. His knowledge and wisdom are broad and vastly superior to anyone I’ve ever known. That’s saying a lot too, because my parents were super intelligent and wise. Though I don’t think Richard has faced as many moral ambiguities as my parents did. Then again… maybe he has! Ha! I don’t think we can ever really know a person. We’re all just too multifaceted.
My husband and I both enjoy teaching; question EVERYTHING
I asked my daughter yesterday, “What good is all of my life experience if I can’t help people?” And my husband feels the same way. We can preach here via this blog, my books, and Richard’s original songs, but if people aren’t willing to read, listen, or learn from us, what are we (and our vast life experiences) good for?
Meme: “The problem is people not being uneducated. The problem is that they are just educated enough to believe what they’ve been taught. And not educated enough to question what they’ve been taught.” –Unknown
Food is a form of healthcare
Meme: “It’s time we realize that food is a form of healthcare.” –Dr. Mark HymanScreen capture (part 1 of an X post): “Not just Pfizer, Moderna, CDC & NIH, but specifically BioNTech company need more than just being sued. Charges need to be brought up on crimes against humanity. Taking their money is not enough. There should have NEVER been a singular method to treat this (COVID), and MDs under threat of license withdrawal if “Prescribed” means and ways were not followed as per “DICTATED LIKE HITLER” ie Federal and State Gov oversight alike.” –@ccAngelKingScreen capture (part 2 of the X post): “This will be an interesting lawsuit, as states can’t hide their complicity. The drug companies have contracts signed by officials from states besides Feds. We got soft, let stuff go. We were lulled, i.e. fluoride in water. Florida did not mandate anything. Governors had choices to mandate or stand down.” –@ccAngelKing
You’re not too busy
As for me and my house, we’ll listen to our inner Truth. I practice what I preach.

It’s November 9th, 2024; We’ve got a hot new original rock song for you. It’s all about skin! Bubba Hudson offered his great vocals on this pro demo and the smart edgy production is from Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN.
This is the three-hundred-twelfth new music post for 2024! I always believe unless you have ‘skin in the game’ you have no right to complain. But let’s see what you think:
I think you’ve got to put some skin in the game if you want to help people. I’m willing.
I announced my new blog categories in yesterday’s post. Let me give you a high-level brief on what I have planned to add to this blog in 2025. And I must tell you that I will be doing some clean-up of my blog next year, because I’m at 50% capacity here in WordPress and I’m not going to put anymore money into this site to increase that. So, I’ll be removing some images and posts, and streamlining it. I don’t know how many more years I can keep this going, at least, not unless I begin selling more books, or adding the ‘buy me a coffee’ type thing so I can at least make $100 a year from this venture. Just keep this in mind.
Moral ambiguities
From movies, to TV shows, to the books I read, I love moral ambiguities. I think it’s because of all the BS I’ve been through in my life. And how much love and grace I’ve received from those who didn’t judge me at the time. I know each of us can change where we are because I’ve changed. Perhaps by the grace of Omniscience God, or simply because how I was living at any given point in time wasn’t working. Considering life through the lens of moral ambiguities open me to greater perspectives.
Self reflection
As Don Henley suggested in his album, Inside Job, “It’s all an inside job.” We must self reflect if we ever hope to offer ourselves and each other grace. I know I’m here to teach and help others live with more ease and grace. This doesn’t just apply to those who think they’re all full of ‘love and light,’ this applies to ALL. We’re supposed to be unifying, right? We’re the change we’ve been waiting for and I still believe we can COEXIST! So, let’s do this! Love yourself and each other. If you don’t love yourself, start here and work on that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2016/12/31/natural-health-relief-from-anxiety-using-eft-tapping/
Mirrorball perspective
I’m happy to offer a philosophy and practical method of using a mirrorball to observe and obtain new perspectives and open ourselves to new ways to understand and communicate with others who see life differently from ourselves. This helps us have more empathy and offer grace to ALL. I feel I understand people better because I dance on the edge of perception under the mirrorball.
Kaleidoscope teaching
The kaleidoscope method I teach is similar to the mirrorball, but we get into fractals and divine design of things in nature. The broken parts of us are useful within the design of our bodies and lives. Actually, when we expand our perception we come to know the broken pieces create the design! Nobody’s ‘perfect.’ There’s no perfection in art.
Multifaceted
I love exploring and talking about the multifaceted parts of life. Again, the kaleidoscope is probably the best example of everything I could say on the subject of living a multifaceted life. And loving it!
Multiverse
This new category will be one where I’ll explore and uncover The Stranger Things kind of stuff and I’ll share some blogs, YouTube videos and more of the stuff I read and watch that continues to sharpen my brain and expand my consciousness. I’m sure we’ll get into Sci Fi, conversations about aliens, and maybe even X-Files and Men in Black type stuff. I’ll debunk whatever I can, or point to YouTube channels like, The Why Files. But this could be an entire blog. And I want to get into it.
As for me and my house, we’ll listen to our inner Truth. I practice what I preach.
