Health Freedom – winning!

I’m sooo excited today, regarding several different wins for the #healthfreedom movement! Why is this important? Because at my core FREEDOM and PEACE are foundational tenants, and without such, I feel we’re doomed to fall for tyrants. Between my Native American and American Revolution patriot ancestors, suffering and slavery are felt deep in my bones. I pray daily for “all captives to be set free”! And because I am so aware and biologically Connected to my ancestral line, I feel the conviction in my bones to preach and teach about FREEDOM, and this definitely includes HEALTH FREEDOM (and Freedom of Speech).

Speaking of ‘speech’, I know I haven’t talked with you for a while, so thought I’d post an audio of this too–for those of you who would rather listen instead of read:

Arizona

Instead of copying all of this, I’ll simply post the link:

Arizona Grand Jury Petition ‘Vaccine’ Crime Evidence Being Sent to Governor and Attorney General by Dr. Joseph Sansone via Substack
Arizona enacted law against mandates (from Twitter/X)
Major health freedom win! (from Twitter/X)
Health Freedom reports like this one on Courageous Discourse are enlightening to follow. If you’re not on Substack you are missing important information such as this from Dr. Peter A. McCullough MD.
First part of the transcript from Substack from Dr. Peter A. McCullough MD.

Health Freedom

I’m incredibly thrilled that there are many ways for us to keep up on these topics, from Substack, Twitter/X, Rumble, Locals, and more! I support and follow many of these influencers, like Russell Brand, Roseanne, Dr. Tenpenny, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Malone, Dr. Zach Bush, Dr. Mercola, Robyn Openshaw, Rand Paul, and of course, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.! Whether RFK Jr. wins as the next president of the United States or not, I certainly feel he has served us well by bringing more of the fight for Health Freedom front and center (though trolls will still try to tear him down by saying he’s anti-vax, which is not what I get from him at all).

Facebook post about growing up in the 80s, by the freedom thread. Interestingly, I was born in 1962 and had maybe 8 vaccines. I was diagnosed with asthma at age 6. Correlation? I speak to this in the last paragraph of this article, so read to the end!
Deception book by Rand Paul
Dr. Tenpenny on the Food Industry during her “Food As Medicine” month.

While we discuss #healthfreedom we need to include food and soil into the conversation.

I don’t often post on #healthfreedom because of the tyranny and censorship that’s been occurring, so I may pull this at any time. Be sure to watch the following video from Dr. Zach Bush and Dr. Lee (I just watched it last night, yes, it’s 2 HOURS, and I am watching it two more times today in case it gets pulled). I want to take solid notes because I learned a LOT from it, plus Dr. Zach is so eloquent. I could listen to him talk all day! I’d rate this a MUST-SEE! Don’t multitask while you’re listening either, it’s THAT good! Note: It covers more than Diabetes, and includes pre-diabetes and gut health. Remember about 80% of Americans are obese, have Diabetes or pre-diabetes, or have some form of gut Dysbiosis–generally defined as an “imbalance” in the gut microbial community that can cause disease.

Dr. Zach Bush MD on more than Diabetes – a MUST WATCH!

Florida

Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis signs the strongest legislation in the nation for Medical Freedom. And I was thrilled when he signed Dr. Joe Ladapo as our state’s Surgeon General!

Since COVID began, my husband and I have followed The Highwire and the Florida governor’s website for news and advice, but in particular when Gov. DeSantis named Dr. Joe Ladapo our Florida Surgeon General. It was at that moment I thought, “Our state is on the right track”!

Dr. Ladapo on The Highwire

I’ve been reading Dr. Ladapo’s book, Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health for some time (along with RFK Jr.’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci) and I have to take both books slow so I can study and deeply digest each. I get so mad while reading The Real Anthony Fauci book that I have to take long breaks from it. Admittedly, I recall Mengele (the Nazi war criminal doctor man) while reading that. And as you know, I’m always reaching for the next better feeling thought! Ha! So, that’s why I put it down after every chapter.

Clip from email (I’m a subscriber) from Dr. McCullough. Watch the next video where this is discussed. Many states, including Florida are calling for investigations into the vaccine interventions and for stopping them–taking them off market altogether.

Canada

Trudeau needs to go. Found guilty by federal court in Canada for unconstitutionally using his powers to shut down the trucker protests in 2022. By Paul A. Szypula (via Twitter/X)
Collin Rugg post re: Tucker Carlson decrying liberating Canada if we’re so bent on liberating Ukraine. (via Twitter/X)

And here’s the interview with Tucker I watched last night (that I spoke about in the audio) about the four truckers who are in jail:

Sasha Stone interview with Tucker on Substack
Judge rebukes Trudeau by The Guardian.
Trudeau exposed sold out to Globalism and how Climate Change, Pandemics, Wars, Digital ID, and Digital Currency are being used for total world control. By Truth Justic (via Twitter/X)
Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson with Dr. McCullough, Breaking Through Canadian Censorship.

While you’re on Substack, look for the article with Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson and Dr. McCullough on Courageous Discourse. Also, check out Dr. Trozzi’s substack and podcast.

Dr. Trozzi on Substack talking with “Dr Hodkinson first physician to boldly confront any government…”

I know some of this information isn’t the most pleasant or uplifting to present, and I don’t go out of my way to publish a lot of this, preferring Substack and Twitter/X to read and discern how much of it I want to digest (research further, much less believe). But I am one of those who, when I can’t sleep at night, will dive down the rabbit hole and not only read the articles or watch/listen to the videos, but I READ the COMMENTS! Yes, I sure do. And of course, I sift through the vulgar and obnoxious comments, to glean what I believe are the true stories of those suffering harm from the medical interventions. Why?

First and foremost, I believe in treating health issues nominally, at home, early, with the least invasive therapies possible (acupressure, massage, heat/ice, homeopathic remedies, foods, herbs, ointments, balms, tinctures, etc.), and if symptoms do not go away in a few days or worsen, THEN I seek medical advice (and from more than one professional). But I’ve written about all of that in my holistic health book, so none of this should come as a surprise to my readers. Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life has been my mantra (and was the first name of my book) for years. The 2nd edition was renamed to draw a more focused audience as Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally. I just wish more people cared for themselves. It doesn’t hurt my feelings if no one buys my book, but I think it would certainly benefit them. Ironically, one of the first authors I read was also named, Trudeau. He sold a 101 type of home remedies book on late-night infomercials and I bought it. That and Louise Hay’s timeless book, You Can Heal Your Life, and Dr. Maureen Salamon’s Foods that Heal also were inspirations to me and prompted me to write about my healing journey back from asthma, ovarian cysts, and more.

In regard to the CDC and COVID, let us not forget or ignore the 17,000+ medical doctors who signed The Great Barrington Declaration:

Per Dr. Malone on The Great Barrington Declaration (part 1)
Per Dr. Malone on The Great Barrington Declaration (part 2 – what it calls for)

Yours in expanding, FREEDOM-loving, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY!

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, sees, hears, feels, and 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.

Book review and narration test of: How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years

Often I used to read books before going to sleep. What follows is from one of those times. I’m thinking about potentially narrating books when I retire, or starting a podcast. Let me know what you think in the comments. There’s more on the audio as the point to this post was to test out the narration. Here’s the audio:

Okay, I think what I’m going to do is a little test. And let’s see how this goes. I think I’m going to read just a chapter at a time and post it. This is from a really old book that I’ve been wanting to read for a while. It’s called How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years. It’s probably out of print. I don’t know. It says it’s a New York Times Books. Are you up for me reading it? It looks like it was a gift to either me or my grandmother in 1980. She passed away in 1980. So I’m not exactly sure unless it was given to my mom and then to me. Let’s see when the printing was. It was printed in 1979. So it’s not as old as I thought. Written by Howard J. Ruff. And it says, of course, “All the rights are reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems without permission in writing from the publisher, except by a reviewer, who may quote brief passages in a review.” So I’m probably not supposed to read a whole chapter. Okay, let me pick out parts of a chapter then and we’ll call this a review.

So, the first page has a note that says, “This publication is designed to provide the author’s opinion regarding the subject matter covered. It is sold with the understanding that the publisher or author is not engaged in a rendering, legal accounting, or other professional service and neither am I by the way, if legal advice or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional person should be sought. The author specifically disclaims any personal liability loss or risk incurred as a consequence of the use and application either directly or indirectly, of any advice or information presented herein.” There are 20 chapters.

I’ll start it this way. There’s an introduction. Then there’s part one, The Problems. Part Two, is The Preservation and part three is The Strategy. Now within part one, there are 11 chapters. There are the watershed year’s inflation, the great transfer tax, a world turned upside down, and put governors on the monitors that sound interesting. The Ponzi chain ladder, east side, west side, the old homestead, don’t bank on it, power to the President. We owe it to ourselves and sin tax SSIN. That’s interesting to know Okay, so then in part two, the preservation there’s an introduction to it, and chapter 12 is about gold and silver coins. There’s personal debt passed on to the old maid. That’s probably talking about the card game I don’t know. But there was a card game named Old Maid preparing for the black market, panic proof. And then in strategy, there’s an introduction. And chapter 17 Is the breakeven or better strategy, the golden calf, a girl’s best friend and Do Thy Patient No Harm. There’s an appendix and an index.

We’ll just do the Introduction. Let me know if you’re interested in hearing more about this. And perhaps I’ll do another by offering a review of each section. How about that instead of each chapter? Let’s see. So that would be four reviews because we’ll review the problems, which probably most of us are already very familiar with the problems the preservation part and the strategy part. So the introduction, I’ll just read a paragraph to myself, perhaps, and then I’ll summarize so bear with me. I’m not a speed reader.

It starts by talking about some time back so they’re quoting November 1968. They went to a meeting and thought they were going to receive some help. And advice from people who managed a company. Oh, it was a speed-reading franchise. I honestly did not read that yet. When I said I was not a speed reader. So that’s funny. They were beginning to emerge from a very difficult few months resulting from a prolonged newspaper strike. And as most of these strikes, do, they come without warning that prevented them from advertising during peak months. I think we’ve all probably been there. We had been in financial trouble. For some time, but things have started to improve on that. Sounds good right? So the author says when he walked out of a meeting, he was wiped out. His franchise had been canceled in the struggle to save the company was over. His business was down the tubes have been her had been notified that his accounts were frozen, but that’s not good. He had $11.36 in his pocket. Yeah, no money, no job, and no unemployment insurance because there isn’t any such thing for small businesses. Who goes broke and that is true? When you’re self-employed, and I know this from both my parents as well as friends, as well as times when I’ve been self-employed as well, there’s no retirement pension. There’s no insurance you have to self-insure for your health and, and life and property, all that sort of thing. And then you have all sorts of business expenses too, which never made sense to me.

One of my friends said, that while she was running her own business, she calculated all the hours that she put in and she was making something like $4 an hour. I mean, that’s why they say you’ve got to do what you love if you’re going to run your own business because you’re not. You could go to work for anybody else and make more than that you can make minimum wage flipping burgers and make more than that. So make sure you do what you love if you are going to run your own business. But back to the book.

He’s talking about a spectacular collapse that had the front page of the financial section in the San Francisco Bay. Area newspapers. And he was invited to resign from a committee of the Oakland Symphony finance committee because I guess he was embarrassing them. There was a terrible period and he says in our lives, so I’m assuming that he’s married. Okay. He says it had only been five months since the accidental drowning of our 21-month-old son, Ivan. Well, that’s very tragic, and sad, I cannot imagine. So he was in the depths of despair, and that tragedy began a chain of events that culminated in his writing of this particular book. His family and he, I guess, decided that such pain, public humiliation, and grief had to be put into some positive purpose. And I’m thinking perspective for others as well as themselves. I feel that it always helps if you’re trying to help someone else that tries to help you through your problems.

He went to work armed with a determination to learn everything he could from the business failure, so that it would never happen to them again. It was then he resolved to apply to his life and future principles that he learned from a variety of sources as well. That’s great and I’ve done the same thing with integrating the spirals. There was, oh, a Mormon upbringing. Okay, that explains why my mom had this book and shared it with me. Which stressed prudence, yes. Avoidance of unsound debt. Yes. My mom was always saying that all the time to us to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and a kind of 19th century rugged self-sufficiency. That’s a quote.

He had been studying economics and either was or studied. Being a stockbroker specializing in venture capital and municipal bonds 25 years as an actor and professional singer had taught him to be persuasive and effective in the use of language in front of audiences. Well, that’s good. And yes, I can see where that would be very helpful if you were going into sales or as in his situation, apparently, entrepreneurial enterprise. So it continues, that he was determined someday to repay every day he had a lot of people say that that get into these kinds of situations, even though his legal obligation was discharged through the legal process of bankruptcy.

My mom and dad went through the same thing. So I understand that. He goes on to say, to right when Jesus preached the virtues of a broken heart and a contrite spirit, which is a quote from the Bible. He believes that Jesus met that people generally do not bring about real change in their lives until they’re traumatized by hitting a bottom of despair and misery, from which there’s no choice but to make basic changes in one’s life and Outlook or follow a path to self-destruction. And from that, bottom in his life came the determination not only to ever, never repeat the same mistakes that I’ve made invulnerable, but help others avoid personal financial difficulties caused by their lack of understanding of the real world. And then something that he retained from that speed reading school collabs was a personal ability to read rapidly.

Well see, that’s fantastic. That’s a skill that I wish I had. And he goes on to say that he can handle a lot of material rapidly and have close to Total Recall, and five hours a day of reading he processes vast amounts of written material and runs across things that most people would never have a chance to get to bits and pieces of information click into place that would not have done so how to not discover too much ground in a short time and can quickly become a walking encyclopedia. Almost anything. I’ve really usually not a jealous person, but I’m somewhat jealous of that.

Maybe perhaps that’s a skill that I can acquire. And once I retire, I do scan a lot which is probably what’s helping me scan these first few pages. But I’m, I do not consider myself a speed reader. And I always got low marks in school myself for comprehension. So it’s something that I’ve had to work on. In fact, in my opinion, I am a slow reader. Because I am always really diving in to comprehend deeply, you know, not just comprehending to regurgitate something in five minutes and then forget about it, but to understand it and incorporate it into my life in some way.

So he goes on, let’s see he’s talking about under-capitalized business ventures, which I don’t understand or know much about. I guess that means you maybe didn’t finance enough. I know capital is money like to start a business with Buddy Okay, so he was successful in one and then one called an advisory service, which was called the rough times are you FF that’s funny, used his name well in that bencher in between, he became interested in flying and developed an obsessive interest in weather and climatology, which is something he says that every economic forecaster should know about. I also became fascinated with the subject of nutrition. Oh, interesting. Well, that’s where we connect again. As well as I worked with an Aeronautical University for 10 years. So I know a little bit or two about flying, not that I ever flew and my dad was a private pilot as well.

So he established a vitamin supplement and food storage distributorship. But then sold the business but that equipped him for his research into food problems and food storage. These events plus long he had a long interest in economics and Kant all came together when he wrote this book that I’m reading the introduction of right now. However, it was the business collapse that gave him perspective drive and the character he says, hopefully, to bring, bring him to the point where he could speak with authority from a pretty good track record as a forecaster. And advisor.

That’s where he is today as of this 1979 Writing anyway. And always has the TV talk show too called the rough house, which is shown or at that time was shown in more than 60 stations. across the US. Then this book was originally conceived as a basic text for subscribers to his advisory service. Okay, and I guess he did some personal planning it’s short-term and intermediate, intermediate-term trends can change so I agree it creates both risks and opportunities and timetables can sometimes use adjustment.

So he wrote a book that could stand alone, but the staff and subscribers could use it to stay apprised of any changes in economic climate or strategy. That explains why there’s that section.

The last section is about strategy. There are alternate strategies for these changes in economic climates and chapter 20. Okay, so some material has been has come from, I guess, his extensive files and information that had gone out in the rough times. That’s the name of it. And then he decided also to introduce and summarize some from his first book.

Okay. So, what we read here should be considered an updated summary and review. And then he explains why he wrote this book before he was an author. He was the father and husband and that’s still, his number one role in life, loves his wife and children. They along with his religion, and an alarmed conscience should form an inseparable whole he’s concerned about the hard times he sees coming and how the family will have to live in that world. We want to prepare them to get through without physical discomfort. And with his fundamental Judeo-Christian values intact, working very hard to see that sound principles of ethics, morality, and economics are passed on to his offspring because when he trains his children, he’s also going to be training grandchildren. Everything I write is in the final analysis, his legacy to them.

Yeah, and I believe that’s the same thing. That motivates me. Because after I had my first granddaughter, I thought I wanted to I sat with that for a long time about how I wish so much that I had some writings from my grandparents on both sides, but in particular migrant my mother’s mother, my maternal grandmother because she was Native American and I wanted so much to understand her background. And, it was a really hard thing to kind of prove to there’s my spiral thought going into the Native American Tribal roles and trying to prove which tribe I’m from and connected to and all that sort of thing. So back to the book, he talks about that he explains how we can panic-proof our life, get our debts under control, how to make certain investments to be the inflationary spiral, interesting, he’s got the spiral there too. And all the things that will make for social and financial stability and keep the world kind safer for your family. He explains why he thinks we’re reading the book and then offers some conventional wisdom in economic forecasting and financial planning. Sacred Cows are outdated, inaccurate, Pollyanna-ish, and unrealistic. I agree.

Another full book, not this old but one I also highly recommend is, Sacred Cows Make the Best Burgers by Kriegel and Brandt. That was an excellent book as well and used a lot of sports references. So for the guys of course or anybody that loves sports–it’s a really good book. I’m not a sports fan, but I still got through it and I learned a lot and wrote a paper about it during time spent working one of my first corporate jobs. Our whole team was supposed to read it, but I took it on like it was a college class.

So let’s see, he ends this introduction with his point of view that he had written for the economic ecologist which was about the study of interrelationships of living organisms and their environment. So I thought that was very interesting too and something that I would like to explore further. And that’s how we come to know to see about the Hippocratic Oath, to which every physician subscribes to, which is to “Do Thy Patient, No Harm.” That’s his objective for everything he’s advising us to do.

He’s says he lives within the limits of his financial resources and is comfortably well-off but not wealthy. Those who will gain the most benefit from this book are those who have some savings or some assets small or large, such as equity in a home . Well, I don’t have that and never did because even of all the three homes that I’ve owned or, or partially owned with a partner, the equity I made on one got lost on the other two.

One home I sold did turn a profit but then I ended up putting that into the next home and ended up losing my shirt so I can’t say that I came out ahead. But he goes on to say you can start your personal and financial survival program with as little as $50 a month for a few months. I’m doing that right now. But it’s more than that.

Everybody can do something even if it’s only to vote fools out of office, and I don’t know what this word means “mount of banks.” So when I get to look up, those who keep digging our hole deeper, surely would not be thrilled about what our national debt is now in the US all these some 40 years later, right?

Throughout the book, you find references to books, publication services, and products with some candid consumer guides, type comments and to assist you in searching for them. He’s listed all of these at the end of the book giving addresses phone numbers and prices where appropriate. When and where appropriate. Each product is listed so refer to the text in the appendix. He will make commercial recommendations but receives no financial rewards from those recommendations.

I’m pretty much on the same while though I do have in my Being Wholly Vibrant blog. That’s my review blog and there are ads that WordPress puts in as well as some of the products I may make a small commission on. I’m in two companies right now but I’m only promoting one because I enjoy and love those products so much. And all the rest of them are like with Instacart–there’s a coupon so you can save money and I’ll save money too on my next order things like that, but nothing that’s you know, gonna make me wealthy from sharing about but there are the honest reviews on stuff I try.

I’ve worked hard over the years to stay brand independent, and the information that I share, because I feel that helps keep me honest. And I learned a long time ago not to use that phrase “in all honesty,” blah, blah blah because that means that you’re not honest about other stuff. You’re only honest about the stuff right after you say “in all honesty.”. Across the board I’m honest. I just think that staying brand independent helps me not present conflicting information or not make anyone feel pressured in any way; not to sway someone to think brand A is better than brand B or whatever. I will give you my opinion as when something tastes terrible. But again, you know, it’s just to me your taste buds are completely different from mine. And so and our taste buds change over time. So that’s just one example of I can tell you that something tastes terrible, but you might buy it and use it and love it. I just do my best to stay brand independent unless I’m truly in love with a product or a philosophy or teaching or such. All right, I will end this for now.

Let me know what you think about the book. And if you want me to continue reviewing it. Thank you for listening or following along with the text!

FedEx needs to work on their customer service

A big irritation can cause us to make different choices. A little irritation can prompt a blog. As I work to let go of the bigness of the following story, I realize in the big scheme of things, this is a little irritation–though I will not use FedEx again if I have the choice. Writing about what happened helps me feel lighter and soothes the irritation I feel. But I also want FedEx to know they could provide better customer service.. It became glaringly obvious to me (through dealing with them this past week) that a shipper should not offer a pickup service without also providing a label– they are the ones that need the label and have it in their system!

To listen instead of read, play the audio (sorry about the pops in the mic. I’ll work on that for next time):

Reflecting on an irritating task that took all week

Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening.

I just woke up so I will take this moment to breathe in. Breathe in, breathe in. Breathe in with directed breaths. Breathing in a little more. A little more. filling all of my lungs. My diaphragm. My tummy. Directing the breath to the back of my lungs. Top, front, bottom, belly, hold, hold, hold the breath right up to the tippy top of my head and release the breath. Releasing the breath very slowly, even slower than I brought the breath in. Like I’m breathing out through a straw and very quietly, as quietly as possible. That’s how you know you’re doing it right. And just like my dogs used to shake, or stretch, do the downward dog, get the air into the body. Let all the cells of the body rejuvenate. And then stretch or shake.

What I’ve attempted to write about several times this week, and I haven’t yet–I’m going to give you now. You can’t make this stuff up. (laughing a bit) It’s really funny in retrospect, but at the time, it was frustrating. Isn’t that the way life goes? Sometimes.

So what happened was I had an issue with my work laptop and it needed to go back to the company. And my company deals with FedEx (for shipping). They have a corporate account with FedEx.

Monday

My company sent me an email last Monday. I woke up to that email, saying that FedEx would be here to pick up the laptop. Anytime that day, from like, 9:30 am to eight o’clock at night or something. Okay, but I had no previous notice of that. So I was sitting there reading the email thinking, well, that’s great, but I don’t have a printer to print this label that they’ve emailed me. I don’t have a box. I mean, the laptop originally came in a box that was like storage, a little storage box. It was kind of thin but nice, you know with a little bit of a molded insert in that box. It had a place for the little adapter and such. Right?

So I thought, but I can’t ship it in that. I’ll put it in that box, but I can’t ship it only in that box. I would still need a shipping box. And of course, we don’t have a car so I thought well, I’ll have to Uber or Lyft over to the UPS store to get a box to print the label that was kind of what I was thinking. And then I thought well, you know, let me just let my company know. That I’m just reading the email at 10 am on Monday. And FedEx could be here at any time but I don’t have a printer and I don’t have a car.

So I wrote them back. I thought let me try the Easy, easy way first right? Never known to ask, have not because you asked not most of the time. I emailed this gentleman back who had sent me the email with my company. And I just told him that I said you know I don’t have a car anymore and I don’t have a printer to print this label email me. I appreciate this but I’m just now reading your email. They could be here any time. What do you suggest?

Had I known about a day before a couple of days before whatever. That’s what I would have done right? Go to the UPS store which is a mile away. It’s a little too far for me to walk and print the label and I’d have been prepared in other words, right? He writes me back and said, FedEx probably has a way to print the label–when they pick it up and I believe they even have packaging on the truck. You know that you can pack it when they get there. So I thought okay, cool. Silly me was thinking why else would they have pickup service if they couldn’t help people to package their stuff? Wrong! I’ll get into it in a minute. I decided not to worry about it. We’ll see what happens when they get here.

So that afternoon, I think it was between noon and two o’clock. Nice. FedEx drivers. She stops, lady. Real nice lady. Very informative, and very educational. She takes a look at the laptop. In the box. I had it in the box and everything so she could see exactly what I was shipping back and she said well let me let me go the truck get you a box. Do you have your label I suppose they emailed me a label. I don’t have a printer. Oh, well. She said I can’t print the label. They have to when they put the order in. They have to specify that the driver printed the label. She said there’s a way to do that. And if they do it that way, then I can print the label. She said because I’ve done it for other people but she checked she was on our little handheld machine and she said I can’t print your label. But I’ve printed labels for other people because it comes in from FedEx, from corporate FedEx in a different way. Whatever that means. Right? Now I’m not looking at her machine. How do I know and such but she said hold on let me go and get your box at least you have it boxed up and ready. And then all your company has to do is resubmit for pickup and check the box or fill in you know whatever they have to fill in on there and for me to be able to print the label. So I’m like okay, so I didn’t want to argue the point with her. I’m not gonna tell her how to do her job, nor would I know how to do her job right. But as a systems person, I could imagine that Yes. She was probably right that there was probably a checkbox or the directions or something that when you fill in to have them do the pickup, you can ask the driver to print the label. Mean It only makes sense, right? Why in the world, would FedEx have a pickup service but expect people to have a box and a printer at home to mail their package? It just doesn’t make it’s not logical to me and seems quite ridiculous that they would expect somebody to own a printer if you don’t have a car or a means to go and take the package to a FedEx store.

So that was the first cause of irritation. me thinking through their process and what it should be if you consider customer service and if you consider logic. That’s the way it should go right?

So I put the laptop (she even stands at the door) in the box and she said, “Oh, okay, well does it fit? Is it gonna fit?” I was like yeah, you know, I think if I put this in first and that in next, turn it this way, whatever and she’s like, oh, yeah, and then the box can even pouch out a little bit if you need it to for the AC plug the electrical plug. Because you know those things are a little bulky. Yeah, so I got it in there. She’s like, okay, great. That looks good. So yeah, just have them read and she tells me everything. Again, you know, like I’m an idiot, but whatever. So I listen to that. It’s like a 5-10-minute little chitty chat at the door. Right. And I think or and you know, she’s happy goes, walks away. I’m relatively how much happy or could I be because I’m still dealing with the laptop, right?

So I go back to my new work computer. And I email work and I tell the gentleman, this is what just happened. So he goes to put in a new request. To have them come back the next day to print the labor one he sends me screenshots of what he’s filling in and he said so Sheila, I don’t see where I should be making this request. LOL You know, like he’s trying to have fun with this situation. So I wrote him back and said, Well, what about this area? Can you click there and take another screenshot so that I can see what’s behind it, you know, a little drop-down arrow and stuff like that? So we go back and forth in our email several times. Meanwhile, the lady that I work with, she’s chatting with me and sending me emails too, because I have like regular work to do as well as this (laptop) stuff going on. So I’m kind of handling you know, I’m juggling my tasks, I’m handling things and kind of trying to direct him to which I’ve never requested a FedEx pickup. It was the first time I’m seeing it too.

So I said, “Well, hang on and let me get back to you.” I looked a little bit further. I didn’t Google it or anything like that, which I guess I could have done that would have probably helped. But as I said, I was busy doing other things. So I went back to the label a few minutes later, and I said “Oh, look, here’s a field, which was what I was looking for initially, that you could fill in with text character field.” And it was limiting you to 25 characters, but I thought well, that’s fine. We’ll just say driver, print label. Print upon pickup or something like that, right? It was a free-form text field. So let’s make up something that’s short but descriptive for the driver, right? Or for the company to know to be able to do whatever they need to do on FedEx and to get the driver to understand they need to print the label. All right. So that’s what we did. I suggested to him what to type in that box and sent him the email and thought, okay, great, that’s handled. That’s all we need to do, right?

Again, any rational person logical person would think that.

Tuesday

So, Tuesday, nobody shows up.

Wednesday

Wednesday, nobody shows up. I thought, “If they don’t show up by five o’clock on Wednesday. I need to email the company back and say that FedEx hasn’t shown up again. So I don’t know. (I might ask him) “Did you hit the Submit when you sent that request again”? Do I need to take an Uber or Lyft ride over to the FedEx store and just take care of this? I mean, I didn’t want to sit on it all week. I didn’t know how fast they needed the old laptop back. Like I said, it had problems with it. So it wasn’t like it was a brand-new laptop I was sending back anyway. It’s gonna have to be refurbished.

Thursday

So Thursday morning, I get an email saying they’re gonna be here to pick it up. Presumably with the printed label, right? Between I think it was like 4 and 6 pm or something and I thought, okay, that’s weird. And then the more I looked at that label, that was something that had Monday’s date on it (the previous Monday). I laughed to myself and thought, “This is probably not right. You know, it’s probably not going to happen.” So I went ahead and priced what it was going to cost to take the Lyft ride or the Uber ride–Lyft was a little bit cheaper–over to the FedEx store.

I went ahead and did some legwork. I called the FedEx store and the Walgreens store. Because I’ve I just have this thought that well, they are maybe I better just double check. Maybe they won’t print the label at Walgreens because the closest FedEx drop-off store or point for me would be the nearest Walgreens. I know that sounds weird as Walgreens is a pharmacy but they also do photo print at Walgreens. I think I’ve even had photos printed there in the past so of course I’ll just print the label there. slap it on the box, and that’ll be it. I could almost walk there. But against like, right on the edge of being a little too far to walk. So I called them first because I could just have this vision of me being with the Uber driver, you know, or whatever or the Lyft driver and them saying, no, they couldn’t help me or whatever, you know something going wrong, so I thought I better just call double check. I did and I’m glad I did because she said Walgreens said they cannot print the label and I thought well that’s ridiculous too I mean, where’s their customer service if you’re dropping off a package and let’s say you’ve even got it in a box, but you don’t have the label and somebody’s emailed you the label? You know, somebody needs to be able to print this label. And I said well don’t you print pictures anymore? And she said, Well, yeah, but they can’t print the label. I mean, it just makes no sense to me whatsoever. So I said, “I’m glad I called first. Thanks.”

You gotta watch the classic movie, Office Space and watch what the IT guys do to the printer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

You know, so then I called my UPS store because that’s traditionally where I go. That’s why we don’t have a printer because we print stuff something like once a year why would I even have a printer? And if I don’t have a car Why would I have a printer? I mean, that doesn’t make sense either. So oh my goodness. I go ahead and call them and they’re like, Well, yeah, so I can go to the UPS store to print the FedEx label and then walk it across the street to the Walgreens store to drop it off. That’s what I was gonna do. Thursday, by the way, and they still didn’t have the label printed after all of that. And I suppose my company requested specifically that you print the label we filled in the form and said driver print label. No no, and she was adamant. This one was a different lady, adamant that they don’t print the labels, and almost seemed irritated with me. So I was just like, whatever you know, and just let her walk away. I didn’t even try to you know go over it several times. Right. That was Thursday.

Friday

Friday morning I woke up thinking, “Oh, I could go to my community office” where we live in this 55 Plus subdivision. They don’t offer many amenities here but they have a pool they have a pool table. They have a couple of us pieces, workout equipment, and they have a business office and there’s usually one or two ladies there all day long. Except for lunch. And they do. I don’t know accounting or whatever they do when people buy a unit in here they help them they have paperwork and application you have to fill out you have to they have to do background checks on people, you know that kind of stuff, right? So they’re a little mini business office if you will, but there’s no and this is key. There’s no open area business office like you see in some apartment communities because we’ve been looking at the apartment communities and they’ve all shown us where you can go and sit and use their computer and their printer and all of that they have an open business office for residents, but we don’t have that here. But I thought being that they have a little office area behind one of those half doors where the tops open and the bottom is closed, you know, their little safe and secure in there. I thought they would probably be able to help me it’s one piece of paper by the way. I mean, how difficult is one piece of paper to print? Right?

So I walk to the community center business office. And I asked them nicely, “Can you help me? Is there a way that I can get a piece of paper printed?” I had it both on a thumb drive and my phone as an email thinking one way or the other. Right if they don’t want to put a USB drive into their computer because they’re afraid of getting a computer virus. Understand that I was doing everything in my power to head off any potential issue. Okay. Now, she said we don’t do that anymore. She went further and said we’re not allowed to do that anymore for people for residents. Because she knew I was a resident because I had to have a special key to get into the building. Yeah, that’s another thing. But no, so she couldn’t help me. She could not print one piece of paper. So I thank her for nothing, right? I didn’t say that. But that’s how I felt.

I turned around and I walk away and I walk back home. And on the way back home. Yes, the thought. Hit me and this is why I probably said enough and sold the car. And you knew that that was probably coming right? Yep, that thought dropped in. Okay, Sheila, but how often do these kinds of things happen?

You know what? (thinking to myself) When you sold the car you told yourself and Richard this is, you know, the money that we’re saving every month not having the car if you have to take the occasional Lyft or Uber ride and it’s 20 bucks or whatever it is. Just do it and don’t complain about it. Don’t fuss about it. It’s just part of life, the right things happen. So I go ahead, come back. And I just said since I’m dressed and I’ve already been out I’ve already had a nice discussion with somebody. I will go ahead and just do it now. Now mind you, it’s Friday morning, this past Friday. I’ve been dealing with this all week. And I was done. I was just over it–having made those phone calls the day before.

I thought even though the Walgreens UPS Store combo was closer, I thought, “Why don’t I just go to the actual FedEx store,” right? I thought let me just do that. It’s further than Uber. That Lyft will cost more, but at least I’ll know that I can do it in one place. Go to the proverbial horse’s mouth right? Surely nothing could go wrong there. They’re FedEx. I have a FedEx email label. I have Yeah. Right. I have it in the FedEx box from the driver. What could go wrong? I didn’t even think about what could go wrong. So imagine my surprise when Richard and I (because he didn’t want me to go alone). We get the Lyft driver. All of that goes beautifully. Well, wonderfully well. We enjoyed the conversation with our Lyft driver. She was lovely. Pleasant lady. Good.

Get over to FedEx. I even check on the Lyft app that they’re allowed to wait for you for five minutes. I was like, Cool. I get up to the door. There’s a little older man kind of trying to beat me to the door at FedEx, you know, and I thought well, that’s okay. You know, let him go. He opens the door for me. I thought what a nice surprise. He opens the door. I say thank you. I go and he lets me go first. The clerk is now just becoming available. There were two clerks there.

I put the box on the counter and said I have a number for the label and my phone. I pull up the number. At first, I misspoke I said it was a return because, in my mind, it is a return but to them, it’s not a return. So I quickly amended my statement. I have a shipping label in my phone. Also. I had taken the extra step of getting the little number that they send you because if you’re going to an actual FedEx store, you can let them know in advance and they send you a number and the number corresponds to your label that you already have and that of course that I had emailed to me and in my phone as well. So she is already a little bit put out with me. I don’t know why, but I think just because I said that statement a little bit differently than she was expecting right off the bat. But she asked me again about the number. I tell her and she puts it in and then she goes to another computer. And she kind of looks back at me from a little bit further away and asks, “What’s in that?” And I said, “It’s a laptop.” And she said, “That box isn’t big enough (for a laptop) How thin is it? It’ll get damaged.” So, I stand there for a minute thinking FedEx gave me the flippin box, you know, I mean, the woman looked at (it when we packed it), so then that’s the next thing out of my mouth. I said, “Well, the delivery driver has stopped by twice this week to get the package and they’re the ones that gave me this box and watched me package it so I think it’s gonna be okay.” and “It is inside another box. So, you know, believe we’re good.” She’s like, “Well, you’re gonna have to take responsibility for any damages.” The company is paying to ship it back. Just put it in another box. You know, like I want it to get snotty at that moment say if it makes you happy. Put it in a bigger box. I’m sure they’ll pay for it. That would be another charge for a box. I don’t care. You know, I mean, I was still smiling or in my kind kindness t-shirt. Still smiling very aware. And also very aware this nice older man who led me in the door first is waiting behind me.

I want to hurry this process along. I got Lyft outside waiting. I didn’t want this to be an exchange at all. Just print the label. Give me a receipt. Let me out the door, right? So then she already now is printing the label and walks back over and just start slapping these labels onto the box. The same box I had the laptop in brought it in that she was complaining about right? She’s now slapping labels on it. So I just smile at her. Look at her. She’s like, I’m just letting you know that you’re gonna be responsible for any damages. Okay, fine. You know, like, I think I just said okay, I mean, what was I supposed to do? She had already printed labels. She already slapped the labels on the box, but she just had to lord it over me or whatever. She just had to be the queen of the universe at that moment, like balls in her court. Do you know? What was I supposed to do–grab it back from her? I don’t think so. Not after the week, I’ve had with this silly laptop in this box–trying to get it shipped out. Strike three for FedEx. Absolutely the worst customer service (and process experience) from the standpoint of them coming by twice (at that point) to pick it up and not being able to print a label.

Like I said, you just can’t make this stuff up.

So the clerk gives me the receipt and tells me it won’t be picked up till 5pm. Mind you, it is 10 am on a Friday. She says it won’t leave that store till 5 pm that day. Again, I thought to myself, “That’s ridiculous.” Then she adds, “Your company won’t get it back till Tuesday.” Okay, I did thank her but I’m sure in my mind it was more of a “thank you for the very little you did.”

I get back in the Lyft. We have an enjoyable ride. I didn’t even talk about it. Richard asked how the drop-off went. I said, “It’s off. It’s being shipped. It wasn’t, the best experience but I’ll tell you when we get home.” I didn’t want the Lyft driver to hear me complaining and what are ya gonna do. Right? The thing is done. I just wanted to forget about it. So we ended up having a very pleasant ride home. There was some Rogen started showing driver had to take another little detour route, that kind of thing, but we just had a little chitty chat with her. She played her music at a very low level, but it was Christian music, so that’s fine. We enjoyed it.

And yeah, we get back home and about three or four hours later. Ding dong. It’s FedEx. They were coming again to pick up the laptop. I said, I already took a Lyft over to your store. Oh, okay. It was yet another delivery driver too, by the way. And that person didn’t have a label in their hand either.

So, you know, I can imagine how that was gonna go but yeah. Interestingly, as well, my company had sent me yet another label and said that it would be picked up. So I wrote them back and said, It’s okay, it’s gone. I took it to the store. It’s all done and it’s on its way back to you. But I certainly wasn’t expecting anyone to stop again on Friday.

Finding ease

So yeah, that was a surprise. Four different delivery drivers, wasted stops, essentially. And then the kind of (I don’t want to call her) snotty or rude (behavior) but just very lacking in customer service skills from the person at the FedEx store. And early in the morning too, you wouldn’t think she was already having a bad day–unless she got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. Who knows, right? But you always gotta figure we never know what the other person’s dealing with. Maybe she just got jilted or something. Maybe she had a sick family member. I mean, you just never know. Right? She could have a million things going on in her life. So I gotta breathe and offer her Grace and be kind., As kind as I can muster anyway, at that moment.

To think about when I first started blogging (before it was called that) and then publicly on The Examiner (the one that eventually sold), I am humbled yet proud of my growth. I’m not a prideful person though and rarely use that word because I know ‘pride’ comes before a fall. And I’ve stumbled enough! Ha! Though, yes, I know falling shows we are trying, we are moving forward. Babies fall before they learn to walk for example.

Point is, here’s the numbers for SheilaMurrey.net (for Wholly Integrating the Spiral) and I sit in utter GRATITUDE that the numbers are UP 19% over last year !! (These numbers do not include the products and services reviews blog called, Being Wholly Vibrant):

And if you’re curious as I was, here are the top 52 posts (many were written prior to 2022 so these numbers aren’t the total views per post, but the number of views during 2022):

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.

Dental high jinks

I’ve really been through it the past few years when it comes to visiting dentists and oral surgeons. For some background, here’s a list of my previous posts:

The Good-gums article was also reblogged on the Good-Gums website (and I was so honored)!

However, my relationship with this particular dentist was short-lived as she told me my tongue was too big for my mouth, and that it would cost $6,000 to fix what all was wrong with my teeth (and my husband threw a fit when I told him how she’d spoken to me and how much she wanted to charge me).

She had rushed me through all of her diagnostic tests, and even told ME to calm down because I affected HER Energy! (If she was really a holistic dentist SHE would have control over her own Energy and would not have put that upon me. I was appalled the more I thought about that. I never went back. Nor would I expend any Energy to explain my choice not to return to her.

I put those posts on my Being Wholly Vibrant site as most were product or service reviews. But I plan to wrap up that site soon and move the best posts here, to SheilaMurrey.net – as I pay WordPress for it and the other site is a free site with ads I have no control over. I’d started Being Wholly Vibrant as a test and now, it has over 130 posts on it. But I digress.

I really don’t want to tell medical professionals how to do their jobs, but I am having an issue with dentists.

Apparently, many doctors and dentists file insurance claims for their patients and when the funds come in they put them in their account. If you owe a balance they are right on it to send YOU a bill, but what happens when they owe YOU??? I’ll tell you, nothing happens! They can keep your money indefinitely!

I’ve written to the Florida State Attorney’s General office about an unscrupulous dental office in St. Pete Beach, Florida after I found out they were holding $1150. on account (of my money) for over a YEAR! Here’s what the AG’s office told me:

Florida Attorney General’s Office

I did call Morgan and Morgan’s office over this matter but the dollar amount wasn’t high enough for anyone there to care about it. I guess they really aren’t “for the people” as they claim to be in their commercials. I also turned in this dental office to the Florida Dental Association, though I never heard back from them.

I have reached out to the Florida Bar offers a Lawyer Referral Service to see what they suggest.

And since I’m now over 60, I’ve reached out to the Florida Senior Legal Helpline.

I so appreciate this information from the Attorney General Moody’s office and am continuing to learn how I can work to educate myself and others when it comes to this egregious financial wrong doing by these people.

It just sucks that I spent all that money on the crown and it has bothered me for more than a year (plus, though numb during that work, it hurt very badly and I told them but they continued working on it). Lesson learned. I should have got up and walked out. Plus, they still owe me $1,150 that’s a credit on my account! (And yes, I have exhausted all of the various means of trying to force them to pay me but nothing has worked yet!)

As for the silver lining, I’ve found a wonderful oral surgeon across the street from where we live, who took me in within a few days and only charged me $50 out of pocket to extract one of the molars which the dentist in St. Pete Beach, not only left IN my mouth when it should have been pulled during that visit, but he put a crown on top of it, and even through all of the numbing, it hurt extremely bad while they were doing that process. I should have gotten up out of the dentist chair and left their office, but I simply told them it hurt and they kept on working on it, saying it had to be done and “knew it hurt.”

I will no longer give anyone power over me like that again.

Disappointed in FPL Response to Hurricane Ian

First, for a bit more background read my previous article: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/09/30/aftermath-from-hurricane-ian/

On 9/28/2022 we lost our electric power at 11AM in the morning, just a few hours after hurricane Ian brought the first bands of wind into Bradenton, Florida.

Our 55+ community in Bradenton, Florida has underground utilities (no power poles or lines) and sustained no building damages from Hurricane Ian, except some broken tree limbs and a few trees downed from high winds.

Closest down palm tree to our parking area
Only half of the tree cleanup pile from around our building
Closeup of the tree cleanup pile to show size of branches
We are high and dry here; we were not in an evacuation zone (we are in the black circle the black box was calling out to)
We had wind gusts of 97mph in Bradenton

Would you think we would be out of electricity for 8 days by looking at these images???

Instead of merely complaining, I offer some questions and potential solutions to improve Florida Power & Light (FPL) customer relations.

55+ Communities deserve priority

Why FPL should prioritize 55+ communities

One reason people buy into 55+ communities is so we have LESS WORRIES about exterior building maintenance, lawn care, utilities, and so on. The people who bought houses and condos in our 55+ community in Bradenton, Florida did so in part because the neighborhood is a half mile away from a trauma center hospital and is supposed to be on the hospital power grid, as well as because the community has underground utilities, no power poles and lines to detract from the beauty of nature we all enjoy while walking, swimming, playing tennis, and such. Most of us have worked our butts off to enjoy a few twilight years!

FPL has a monopoly on providing electricity in our county and many other Florida counties. Free country, right? Believe that if you want, but it sure doesn’t seem to be. And free speech? LOL Oh, that’ll have to be another post. I went on the Facebook FPL page to express, not just our disappointment but to offer potential solutions and more people called me names than supported my statements. What kind of world do we live in now? I’m trying to raise awareness and fight for what’s fair and right! Where’s FPL’s honor to its elder customers? My husband says he will NOT be paying our bill the day it comes out anymore. We will wait until the DUE DATE from now on. (That’s one way to get FPL’s attention, I guess). They sure don’t prioritize power restoration based on who pays their bills first!

FPL must improve their communications to customers

FPL must improve their communications so people can learn when their power (within 2-3 hours) will be restored. Don’t fail us by taking FIVE DAYS to tell us anything and then overestimate by five MORE days! Come on!!

It’s only a numbers game to FPL – On 9/29/2022 FPL had 125,940 customers without electricity per phone app
On 9/29/2022 FPL had 125,450 customers without electricity – website information
On 9/30/2022 FPL had 88,220 customers without electricity
On 10/01/2022 FPL had 71,820 customers without electricity
Bad design; there were no “triangles” to click on
We saw this same message for FIVE DAYS (first five days of hurricane Ian)

FPL must improve on restoring power to those with underground utilities

Speaking of those underground utilities, how can a community with underground electricity lines lose power? And for 8 days? I’d love FPL to answer that question. Did they turn it off intentionally??? Did a power station have an issue that fed electricity into our grid? And why is only a small part of our community on the hospital grid and not our WHOLE community?

Did FPL “harden” their equipment to help prevent power outages, as they were supposed to after the hurricane Irma lawsuit? FPL was charged with providing their customers continuous service even during foreseeable wind events by implementing storm hardening improvements. Are underground lines considered part of that plan?

The four bulleted list action plan on the FPL website is sorely lacking. And we all know, even if a company has a plan and processes, it doesn’t mean employees and staff are following them!

55+ communities should be prioritized along with hospitals, care facilities, police, and fire stations

Why we took action

We wrote to FPL, many state legislators, our community association (because they were inept!), and other civic leaders to express our sincere disappointment and frustration with FPL, as well as our community association (who could have done more, in the ways of notifications, buy a deep freezer just for these occasions so residents can freeze food, etc. have a hotline to FPL, or such). And I’ll be sending this to the Florida Public Service Commission.

Our homeowners association didn’t notify residents that power was on in the community clubhouse building–we had to learn that by stopping in to the office to ask if THEY may have had an update from FPL (more than the nothing kind of messages on the FPL website and app) or put in calls to them because FPL gave NO INFORMATION on when our power might be restored for FIVE DAYS!!!

Facebook was no help. Even while I had internet in the hotel, it would not let me post messages such as this.

Our Florida state governor stated multiple times in Live videos we saw prior to the hurricane, Florida was getting 20,000 additional linemen. However, we didn’t see ONE power truck in our neighborhood for FIVE DAYS! Nor do we know when they arrived because once we finally got the news from the FPL website that we wouldn’t have power for an additional five days, we left and went to a hotel that had power in St. Petersburg, FL! We had to wonder if they drove right by because all our utilities are underground! We’re also disappointed because this was our FOURTH power outage within a year of living here (and we were somehow led to believe when we rented this condo that we were on the power grid with the hospital), which we’re NOT!

Someone isn’t doing their job at FPL (and at our community office). And yes, many of the 600+ residents here aren’t happy about it.

Facebook was no help. I tried to post a video using hotspot to my iPhone and while my laptop was charged. It never posted.

When we went to our 55+ community clubhouse building to charge medical devices and other necessities, every available power outlet was in use (many elderly ladies were charing their phones, iPads, tablets, and more because their whole building had the power out). But here’s the thing. Every month someone comes around to hand deliver a community calendar to us, and each resident, but NO ONE came around to see if residents were okay, or tell us that the clubhouse had power! I can understand they only have one fridge and it was full (so they put a note on it to tell people not to cram in more–imagine!) BUY ANOTHER FRIDGE or DEEP FREEZE!!!

Charging my laptop in the rec room of the community building.

We are certainly glad we didn’t experience the horrific damage that cities and areas south of us, or all the way across the state over to Daytona Beach where they had flooding (friends of ours house flooded in Port Orange), and of course, we’re sad that more than one hundred people have lost their lives to hurricane Ian. It’s all tragic. All we can do is learn from this experience.

Thankfully we had cooler weather after the hurricane because otherwise many more could have died

Potential for Lawsuits

After reading this: https://www.wlrn.org/news/2022-01-04/judge-says-hurricane-irma-outages-qualify-for-class-action-lawsuit-against-fpl

I believe there will potentially be lawsuits surrounding the poor communication and length of power outages after hurricane Ian. FPL makes millions of dollars off the backs of the people. Had Edison not beat out Tesla back in the day, we ALL would have had FREE POWER a hundred years ago! So, the people are mad. The people are frustrated. And especially us Boomers (Baby Boomers) who have a memory of past hurricanes and did our best, we pay attention, and we take ACTION when we know we’re being taken advantage of. I’m quite sure our neighbors will be voting in new board members soon in our 55+ community association. Unfortunately we can’t vote on who runs FPL.

Do you agree? If you don’t, call me what you will, but I am not simply complaining, I’m taking action because I can, for our elder neighbors. I believe in education and sharing.

There was really no excuse for FPL’s lack of communication and getting it so wrong, telling us five days after the hurricane we’d have to wait another five days, then surprisingly turning our power back on in a couple more days, which caused us to have to leave a hotel a day and a half after checking in and carrying belongings in/out etc. And THAT stress and over exertion brought on my husband’s stroke on 10/6/2022 (more in next article about that).

We suffered mental duress and physical strain, again culminating in my having to call 911 two days after returning home from the hotel, because my husband couldn’t walk or talk properly. At the hospital we learned he suffered an ischemic brain stem stroke. I maintain that happened due to the stress and extra physical exertion lugging stuff in/out of the community clubhouse to recharge things, and then to a hotel with a day and a half (we would have stayed at home had FPL told us they would restore our power by Monday evening instead of 11:45PM on the Wednesday following the storm. I think a class action suit should ask for pain and suffering damages as well as lost profits (I had to take vacation time when the power went off, as well as to be in the hospital after my husband’s stroke), loss of perishable foods, hotel cost, gas, and more. FPL has collected money from customers to strengthen power systems, I’d sure like to know if that happened because it didn’t help us.

55+ communities need power restored first with care facilities and hospitals!!! It was unacceptable for our neighbors to be without power 8 days (FPL had said it would be 10 days)! These folks paid more for their condos because they have underground utilities! That and the fact that someone said or inferred we were on the hospital grid is why we moved to this particular community. One thing is for sure, we’ll be moving to another town, probably in the northern Florida area by August of 2023. I’ve already got a couple of realtors looking for something small for us.

Book progress

I have a NEW metaphysical book coming out SOON! Stay tuned. I’m in the final formatting process of the book, but was slowed due to my “love of my life” husband’s stroke and needing to be with him at the hospital because I love him and to be an advocate for him since it affected his speech. But I’ll post another article when it’s ready, be sure of it.

I have a passion for WORDS and Connecting people. In particular, I love speaking and writing about spiritual and consciousness raising topics, holistic wellness and simple healthy living. I am empathic, intuitive, compassionate, and kind, with a keen and unified wisdom about life.

I am passionate about

Conversations surrounding emotional balance, moral ambiguities, and deep spiritual truths (such as We Are All Connected, and Put Your Hands Together When You Pray), are what Sheila is most passionate about.

Sheila feels a profound empathic Connection with people and what they’re going through by merely sharing her own truth, speaking freely about her personal struggles, and shares authentically about the challenges she continues to overcome. Sheila strives to ease lonelines, strengthen the will of those exiting toxic relationships, remind us all that we are stronger than we think we are, and that eventually, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.

Review Season 4: Westworld – “In a perfect world…”

I have begun many sentences with the words, “In a perfect world…” and after watching Westworld it occurs to me that I wouldn’t want a perfect world.

Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of Westworld were my favorites. And I had sooo been looking forward to season 4! But, UGH!

Link to the season 4 episode list: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/episodes?ref_=tt_eps_sm

After viewing the last episode of season 4, this will be the last year I watch Westworld.

I’m giving up on the series, as I feel the story has completely taken a turn for the worse.

If it were a perfect world lonely
Be happy no matter what!

Have you been watching? What’s your take on season 4?

Season 3 had introduced Caleb (played by Aaron Paul, whom you may remember from Breaking Bad), to our delight! Aaron really impressed us during Breaking Bad, and we’d missed him. His character started off quite strong in Westworld too! But alas, by season 4, though Aaron’s acting was intense, the story just didn’t hold up for him. I was disappointed right off the bat, actually, but I stuck with the season to see if there might be another twist. Nope! And I don’t care for what the writers did to the stories of other characters either! Evan Rachel Wood lacked the depth, and good-nature of prior seasons (perhaps that was the point?), as there’s no humanity left! And Ed Harris’ “new” character was even worse to watch.

I guess we continued watching mostly for Thandiwe Newton and Jeffrey Wright’s storylines. Both actors continued playing their roles, though even their stories seemed to be weaker in season 4 than in past seasons.

Series seasons should build and improve upon characters’ strength and resilience, not let them fall flat. Sad.

If Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to go anything like Westworld has, I don’t think I’m going to be interested in it either.

Anyway, I just wanted to sum up where I’m at with this series since I’d written a little about it before: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/01/22/what-love-like-and-westworld-have-in-common/

That’s a wrap!

There’s enough of God to go around. — Sheila Murrey

Book Review: Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

Book Review: Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life.

An energetic, illuminating, and enlightening read.

Kris Kelkar’s book, Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life, was a JOY to read! I sped through this book within a month (quite unusual for me)! It just sucked me IN! (Or perhaps, I sucked this book IN because of my extreme interest in the subject and eagerness to PULL this knowledge into ME! Haha!)

“We never see anything in its totality because everything is made up of layer upon layer of vibration that is constantly changing and exchanging information with the field. Our thinking minds create separation in an effort to understand, but that separation stops us from seeing the whole-that everything is connected to the one vibratory source, which is the Field. The Field does not only exist around us, but it also exists in us, through us, and as us.” Kris Kelkar, author Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

Interconnections and Vibrations

Throughout Dancing with The Field, Kris offers us deeply engaging, easy-to-follow, information on the Science of vibrational interconnections and how The Field underpins EVERYTHING!

As an Observer of Nature, I teach others how to shift our eyes to see things differently, so we might view multiple sides of a story or the various aspects of ANYTHING. And Kris adds a beautiful explanation, in the quote I share above, for why I do what I do! Reading that one page helped crystalize (for me) what I’ve been yearning to explain, simply.

Waves of Energy

Kris writes about the waves of Energy, yes. And of magic, mystery, and coherence. He dives into Spirituality and metaphysical teachings, as he explains frameworks. And touches on Tibetan Buddhism too!

Kris and I are on the same wavelength it seems. Similar to things I teach, Kris sees spiritual practices as training wheels too, like guidance or guard rails to living life. But, not so necessarily needed that we have become enmeshed with these particular dogmas such that they become an end to our means–in other words, we don’t have to worship the framework! (Even Jesus was teaching us a WAY we could live, not that we were supposed to WORSHIP Him!)

As well, and to build on this for a moment, we can take the profound words of Alan Watts, Terence McKenna, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Russell Brand and codify them into a religion (Oh, wait! “New Age” probably has already done that! LOL), but we don’t have to do that, nor do I think any of them would want us to do that! I know (from speaking with him) Neale Donald Walsch doesn’t want us to worship him! (Wink to Neale!) Of course, bowing is okay and gently honoring and humbling. To BOTH parties! As each of us are fractals of Omniscience. OMG I’m on a roll! ROFL!

Okay, Sheila. Calm down. Ha! Breathe. Ground. Center. OM

Kris does emphasize the value and healing of GROUP PRAYER though, as that creates coherence in the WAVE! And I believe that too, especially after experiencing the power I felt during a recent group OM chant, led by Dr. Shamini Jain! There were about 1000 people in the room and as am empath, I could FEEL the resonance and palpable Energy during that blissful coherent chant! I could FEEL the resonance in my soul as the blood in my body produced GodBumps!!!

I’ve been teaching certain classes and practices, methods and processes within my larger Integrated Spiral™ DE-Program (link here; and example of the process here) for over a year. But Kris summed it all up so nicely in this quote:

“We never see anything in its totality because everything is made up of layer upon layer of vibration that is constantly changing and exchanging information with the field. Our thinking minds create separation in an effort to understand, but that separation stops us from seeing the whole-that everything is connected to the one vibratory source, which is the Field. The Field does not only exist around us, but it also exists in us, through us, and as us.”

Kris Kelkar, author Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

Favorite chapters

My favorite chapters, which I plan to read again and again, are:

  • Our Bodies are Doorways to the Field
  • Balanced, Attuned, and Aligned (as I’ve been doing the balancing and integrating, but with less focus on tuning. And why we read books like this–to remind us!)
  • The Field in Relationship (as my husband and I practice this a LOT!)
  • The Nutrient of Attention (as I struggle from having suffered “low self esteem” when I was young, to now, a few calling ME (ha!) “arrogant”!)
  • Breathing in The Field
  • Ecstatic Breathing
  • Conscious Slow Breathing
  • Breathing Bypasses Programming

Notice all the chapters having to do with BREATHING are favorites.

Why?

Ready?

Because I’m a BREATHER! Haha!

Sorry, sorry… but that’s a twist on a favorite movie line of mine from Something about Mary, “We got a bleeder!” – and if you haven’t seen it or don’t remember, here’s a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBwTeyZDRos

In summary

I’ve been a student of Nassim Haramein for several years, so I “get” what The Field is (and is no doubt why I was drawn to buy this book). BUT, I had not read any other book where someone from Kris’ background and education could explain certain things in a language that more matched my own, without all the scientific terms. (I do consider myself a scientist, but only in the natural sense of the word, as I observe, measure, research, test/experiment, and document.)

I love that Kris has also learned from the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. Love Dr. Joe! Now, I’m wondering if I’ll bump into Kris at any event with Wim Hof, Dr. Bruce Lipton, or Gregg Braden?!? Ha! I bet we’ll meet one day!

For me, after finishing this book yesterday… and once again I resoundingly state that, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.

Book Review: New Perspectives, Past Lives

Book Review: New Perspectives, Past Lives

A beautiful soul-reaching, inspiring, reverent, vulnerable, and enlightening read!

Book Review (showing Book Cover): New Perspectives, Past Lives

Shari Hinkle’s book, New Perspectives, Past Lives is a book that I spent quite a while reading as it touched me deeply. Knowing Shari personally, having traveled with her (and a group) to Ireland, England, and Scotland in the summer of 2019 helped too, as I could hear her voice in my head as I read, and put a frame around some things she’s told me.

Meet Shari

Massage therapist, Pilates instructor, and new author, Shari Hinkle, Connects with me on so many levels! And we can talk for hours, even while she’s massaging this body that I inhabit! LOL (then again, I am always intrigued and asking questions of most of my massage therapist (LMT) friends! Go figure!)

Shari and I seek and observe (and then share) many of the synchronicities that we each experience. And we both love talking about anything that’s vibrational in nature, Energy Medicine, personal responsibility and choices, as well as, how We Are All Connected (and interconnections that are ALL around us)!

After having many profound past life regression sessions with Patricia McGivern and writing this book, Shari also offers past life regression sessions to clients. And if you’re interested, continue reading and consider connecting with Shari for your own session.

Interconnections and Vibrations

Throughout New Perspectives, Past Lives, Shari offers us more about how everything is interconnected through Vibration. She explains why we use phrases like, “feeling blue,” “out of the blue,” and “green with envy.” (Remember, color is a vibration).

Shari also explores how our soul can draw us to a physical place and location, such as how we were drawn to the Sacred Sites of visit Ireland, England, and Scotland. She calls this kind of draw an “energy of connectedness.”

Layers of Energy

Shari writes about the layers of Energy and lessons she learned from re-experiencing her past lives through her hypnosis past life regressions sessions with Patricia McGivern.

Shari was re-introduced to characters as she made her way through a series of past life regressions with Patricia, and some of those persons (or personages) were people she’s met in THIS life! Baffling and thrilling, right? I won’t spoil it for you, but when you read it, look closely at the character, Gilda.

In one past life, Shari learned that “There is Power in the Pause.” (capitals mine) I meditated on that sentence for some time. (And as you may remember I love the book, Power over Force, and as a writer the word Power tends to always leap off a page!)

I found that Shari’s way of explaining bodily sensations were unique in this book, and I believe that’s because of the training in massage and Pilates she’s had. She puts a special spin on things that I’ve felt but had a hard time describing! Here’s one quick example,

The “imprint” of energy began to magnify up to my brow bone and then around my head.”

From New Perspectives, Past Lives by Shari Hinkle

Loving reminders

In New Perspectives, Past Lives, Shari touched on something one of my grandfathers always used to say, “Stop and smell the flowers.” Statements such as these, as I read them, make me feel as though my family on the other side of The Veil are sitting beside me! Ah! Love it.

Some layers of stuck energy actually hinder us from living up to our highest potential, or keep us from “shining bring” as Shari says. I know after our trip to the Sacred Sites on our Sacred Celtic Journey in July 2019, I began writing emails–even business emails–starting with the words, “Hello bright shining ones.” I had never done that before!

If you think re-living a past life experience might be painful, know that a hypnotherapist can bring you back to reality very quickly. And that immediately, or within some short time period following the session, you’ll probably feel relief (either physical, mental, or emotional) from having gone through the process and released something that had been bound in that former life. That’s certainly been my experience, as well as gain broader, deeper, and a much more intimately personal understanding of spirit, Omniscience God, sense of Compassion for others, and ALL.

In summary

New Perspectives, Past Lives is soul-expanding, and mesmerizing. It is relevant (especially if you have unexplained body pain), enlightening, and curious–in the mystical way.

For me, the new perspective I gained confirmed once again that, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.
