‘Thrive in 25’ – Art Class: Fused glass jewelry

My daughter and I took a jewelry making fused glass art class last Saturday night–a week ago. It was fun because we did it together, but it was more tedious to me than fun. I still prefer the glaze/paint/carve art we did a few weeks ago (the mugs: https://sheilamurrey.net/2025/03/06/thrive-in-25-art-class-mugs-back-from-the-kiln/)

Fused glass jewelry pieces

I went to class not knowing we would make more than one thing, so I had put no thought into what I might create. Perhaps this worked in my favor, because as I played around with different colors and sizes of pre-cut glass, I remembered how I love cairns when we’re out hiking. Thus, I decided to assemble several. And my daughter found the little butterfly glass rounds, so I added those to a few of the pieces. A couple of the pieces I arranged in a particular order, such as the one that looks like a candle, with a couple of clouds above it and earth beneath. Had I really thought about it, I would have picked a piece of orange glass for the small flame instead of blue, but eh, it’s art!

I got a pic of my daughter while she was creating her pieces. She told me she didn’t have many photos of her actually crafting, so… I snapped one. I got photos of my tray of glass bits and a couple of ‘in progress’ photos of my glass projects. Then there’s a final ‘after kiln’ picture of my daughter’s projects as well as mine all together. Finally, the last photo in the gallery that follows is of our front enclosed porch too, so you can see where we’ll be playing games and having cocktails some evenings. When winter is completely done, she will move the snow shovels and such so it will even feel a bit roomier. Plus, we’re going to start some seeds too, in containers that will sit on the windowsills. The box under the table is for all of us to use to recycle cardboard in.

Still undecided

I’m still undecided about creating more AI generated music, so here I sit, reading other blogs, some books, and beginning a new exercise routine. Oh, right, and continue procrastinating about writing my 5th book. I just feel like if no one is buying the first couple of books (that I wrote myself, the two initial books were multi-authored books), then why bother! I know that’s probably not a good way to think, but that’s honestly where my mind has been at lately. Plus, I want to start my calligraphy writing/drawing stuff. Hmm… where do my days go?

‘Thrive in 25’ – Hitting it big!

Have you ever wanted to “hit it big” with a song, book, or other creative endeavor?

We have. But then, we really are simply seeking royalties to augment our retirement income because neither Richard or myself care about awards or red carpet snobby events.

I found this information: https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com/aboutlarrybeaird the other day about the success of the gentleman who founded the Nashville, TN music studio where we spent a lot of money having our original songs demoed, some songs more than once when Richard would rewrite lyrics. This About page, astonished me–the level of success the Beaird music studio has had to date.

To me, the list of Larry’s successfully produced songs (for others) says we worked with one of the best music studios in the country. And yes, music studios use the best studio musicians and singers. Ergo, when our songs don’t hit it big, it must be our fault. Our songs must simply not be that good. That’s a shame considering we have penned over 400 original songs–NOT counting the stuff we’ve created in the last few months using an AI song generation tool.

Art class – The wave

The art class I took last Friday night with my daughter was to create a fused glass ocean wave! We really enjoyed the class, even if I had to put a slight damper on it by saying something I shouldn’t have said. Ugh. My mouth. When will I ever learn?

Here are the before and after photos:

The Wave back from kiln and glue into a stand. I had wanted to make one of these from the time I saw the first one in the art studio. All thanks to my love of spirals! –Sheila Murrey

Brought the plants outside for some sun

Don’t worry, I’m bringing them back inside by sundown. It’s going to hit 50 degrees Fahrenheit or more several days this week, but still dropping into the low thirties or even twenty degrees at night, so it’s still too cold to leave them out. As well, I keep the orchid inside all year around (it was a Florida plant that stayed indoors there too).

Peppermint, basil, lavender, oregano, parsley, and the Florida orchid.

So far, the oregano, lavender, and basil (in larger pots in the background, look like they may have survived the winter and snow, etc. but we’ll see in a month or two if they actually start growing again. That is why I took cuttings and potted them in small pots to bring some inside for the winter. I’m an experimental gardener in that way. Always adopting the “wait and see” attitude and “giving life a chance.”

‘Thrive in 25’ – Art class: Mugs back from the kiln

So, my daughter and I painted these big ceramic mugs (pint size) with glaze (all over), and then with paint. After the paint was partially dry, we etched/dug through the color layer just to the glaze layer (not all the way through). The etching/carving/digging is what I enjoyed most! And here are the finished mugs! Yes, she surprised me by making one for my husband, Richard, with musical note and symbols. I didn’t tell him either. I waited for the days for these to come back from the kiln, so she could surprise him. He was surprised! And of course, I did spirals on mine (for the most part, plus ONE snail… because as I’ve told you before, I follow a kind of snail’s spiral path when it comes to spirituality. Ta-da!

We go to a fused glass class tomorrow night.

Latest music video

I continue learning more about Canva to create new music videos. And I’ve been watching YouTube videos on how to release these to the public and garner more views. However, the latest tip did NOTHING to help this video get views, so… I don’t know. Ha! I think YouTube changes their algorithm often, and one can truly never know how to get more views. Unless you have ideas? Let me know!

I am working on four new songs, that all came from drop-in thoughts, recorded while in the sauna. I posted several of the lines in Suno AI (not all) because you are limited to the number of characters to begin with. So, I split these lines into two songs and from there, I got four different song lyrics to ‘play’ with.

Moonlit Odyssey. –Sheila Murrey

Moonlit Odyssey is ready for me to create a music video. Update: Moonlit Odyssey is now on my YouTube channel as of, March 20th, 2025.

I have other music videos in progress. Sometimes I love the output, but Suno screws up and cuts the song off somewhere in the middle or 2/3 way through and I delete it.

The rewritten lyrics for Moonlit Odyssey are included in the description on YouTube.

‘Thrive in 25’ – Art class: Found my jam!

Last night’s art class was the bomb! I have found my jam (my favorite)!

My daughter and I painted these big ceramic mugs (pint size) with glaze. Let that dry and painted 1/2 with color paint. When that wasn’t shiny anymore but not thoroughly dry, we used a toothpick and made etchings through the color layer just to the glaze layer. (That’s when I felt a level of enjoyment I had not experienced before!)

I did all of my engraving by hand (without tracing over a stencil and sharpie marker drawing), like most used—even at the risk of messing up.

I was doing the class to try the process (certainly not because we needed any more mugs). Nor to come away with a professional piece. I am sooo NOT a professional artist by any stretch of the imagination! Ha!

I found this etching/engraving process hugely satisfying! It felt a bit like archeology or sculpting, as I dug into the paint and blew with my breath/used a dry brush to brush away the little bits of removed paint! It was immediately thrilling! I felt I could do this all day!

And even better, unlike some of the other classes, like the fused glass, the owners said now that I know how to do this, I can use this process any time I want! I don’t have to wait for another ‘class.’
So, I will definitely be doing more of this! And I can do this technique on any of the ceramics from their shop—and there’s lots more than cups and mugs to choose from. Yippee!!

Pictures of my mug (in process)

Do you see the snail? Hehe! Yes, this is my first ever hand drawn snail!
Our teacher (the shop owner), said my engraving wasn’t wide enough (thick lines). We shall see after it comes out of the kiln. My daughter (who did the first one and was used as the class example/sample mug), said my style will look more vintage this way. And that brought a big smile from me! I love vintage stuff! (Her sample mug looks more vintage too, so there’s that.)
Close-up
Inside.

Before we left the art studio I had an opportunity to look at everyone’s mugs. One of the ladies was an amazing artist and hand drew mushrooms of various sizes and shapes on hers! I didn’t get a picture, but I might sketch it out on paper and try that next time, as well as gnomes! Ha!

I feel doing this kind of art shows our differences in perception and perspectives. Heavy or light handed? Thick or thin lines? Angles or curves?

New music videos

I Am Multiverse. —Sheila Murrey

AND

Hearing Voices. —Sheila Murrey

I an improving in my use of Canva for these music videos, can you tell? But I will leave all of the less good videos on YouTube to show the progression. Plus a few have over 100 views! (That’s quite astonishing to me!)

I actually uploaded Hearing Voices on Facebook first, before uploading it to YouTube. And a few friends said they loved the song! I must say, I am thrilled with it too.

October 30th – Not many do

It’s October 30th, 2024; We’ve got a new original love song for ALL today. You’ll see that when you listen until the end. Not many do offer cleverly penned, fun lyrics with a twist. Adam Cunningham is back with solid gold vocals. (Why he isn’t the biggest star, I surely don’t know!) This is another full and rich production by Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-second new music post for 2024! Thank you to 80smetalman for reminding me it’s leap year! Haha! It’s inspired me to share a little nighttime meditation with you all following the song. But do listen to the song first. I really think it’s a cute song! Let us know in the comments what you think of the twist!

Richard wrote this song after we went to Ireland, England, and Scotland in 2019 (on a life-changing Sacred Celtic Journey), because one of our friend, Shari Hinkle, goes fishing with her man. I don’t fish. And Richard doesn’t fish either! LOL! But that’s my hubby. He takes inspiration from people watching and listening to their stories. If you know Shari, her background picture in Facebook is of her holding a huge fish she caught! Yes, if you catch the Big One, be sure to have someone take a picture, so others will believe you when you tell your big fish story! Haha!

I love it when a plan comes together

Shari Hinkle wrote a book too! And I bought it, read it, and wrote a review for her book because I enjoyed it sooo much! (I’m currently reading 80smetalman’s book too, and will review it here when I’ve completed it as well…). Shari’s book focuses on her past life regression sessions with our lovely Patricia McGivern (our hypnotherapist), and the physical healings she manifested from the result of those sessions. It’s fascinating and incredible and I still recommend it to people who “follow the Science.”

Screen capture of Shari sharing my review of her book, on Facebook! Here’s the link to my post and how you can get her book: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/05/22/book-review-new-perspectives-past-lives/

As I explained yesterday, Western Medicine let me down in 2005 and led me to write the book, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life. My intention was to help people understand more choices were available. What’s irritating to me is that no one has wanted to read it! Go figure. I guess it has become my barometer to just how ASLEEP people are!

I won’t stop preaching the truth of holistic health until all of us do. Because not many do ‘get it,’ yet. That there are myriad ways to heal.

October 29th – Blame it on the hurricane

It’s October 29th, 2024; We’ve got a new original story song today, sung by a female pro studio singer. This is another beautiful production by Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

This is the three-hundred-first new music post for 2024! I’m so proud of myself (not something I say often, as I am the most humble and ego-less person you’d want to meet), for being so consistent this year. I’ve been able to say what I need to say, and share one of our original songs everyday. Woo-hoo! And speaking of making my voice heard, this song brings up so much for me!

Richard wrote this song (he began it before and finished it after) he experienced an ischemic stroke in October 2022! We were going through a hurricane in Florida and our power was out for 8 days! We’d already gone through so much, having had our power off there for one reason or another before (4 times total outages in the two years we lived in Bradenton, FL), and we’d only moved THERE (to a furnished rented condo), because we’d been living Off Grid in the northeast Florida woods for 17 months in our RV. Richard had all he could take of ‘roughing it.’ So, we picked the particular condo to rent because it was a mile from a hospital and was supposed to be on the hospital power grid, and because the power lines were all underground. But THAT didn’t matter. It was another situation where we had made the best decision we could with the information we understood at the time. And yet, we were still wrong.

Do you remember The Rainmaker?

Did you ever that old movie with Matt Damon, Mickey Rourke, Jon Voight, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Mary Kay Place (one of my favorites), Virginia Madsen (whom we loved in Sideways), Roy Scheider, and even Randy Travis? It was called, The Rainmaker. Here’s more about the film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119978/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_2_cred_t_87

Watching that movie this morning, really got me thinking of how big money corrupts. And that a person can spend their whole life swimming upstream, fighting the ‘big bad companies,’ like the insurance companies, banks, chemical companies, and so on, and even if you win, you lose. I won’t ruin the end of the movie for you if you haven’t seen it. But I cried because it so closely resembled the fight my parents had in the early 1980s with the banks. I could write a script for movie about that, but who would care? What good would it do?

We see the evidence, or at least hints, of what’s going on all around us, but do we pay attention? And does it change anything?

I’m tired of ‘leading the horse’ to water. I’ll just leave the following right here, without explanation, and as each of us do, we can decide whether to believe or not. And if we ‘connect the dots,’ what then? What action do we take?

List of natural companies that have sold out. –Intelligent Wellbeing @intelligwell
List of U.S. presidents net worth before and after office. –Ultra Cat @MrTruth_199
Maybe what politicians do doesn’t bother most of us, until it becomes personal. Like it did in this post on Tik Tok: “Biden/Harris administration has made my husband a single father today. I am on my way to turn myself in to federal prison where I am scheduled to serve three years for unlawful assembly. Share this and make mothers and fathers of this nation aware of what’s going on! Reach my husband here: @MrRickkeyVictory”. –@MrsBevelynW

I gave up on Big Pharma after Western Medicine let me down in 2005. Actually, they let me down years before that, but 2005 was the last straw for me. I wrote about it in my holistic health book, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life. We tend to only open our eyes and see the truth of what’s going on when things hit home for us. When things impact us personally. It was after I began eating a raw vegan diet, and listening to people in the raw vegan movement, as well as, health practitioners who got slack from people in their churches for practicing Acupuncture, and massage therapists who studied World Religions, that I began to become aware that the world of health was sooo much bigger than I’d ever realized. And how much money my asthma specialists doctors had made off of the asthma I’d had from age 6 to my 40s. But I chose to say, NO MORE. They’ll get no more money from me.

Shocking – not to me!

Why does this NOT surprise me??? From 1440 News: https://join1440.com

And my comment follows this post:

And as far as research goes, that is even CONTROLLED by the Dogma of Science:

Doctor refuses to publish results of her own study on puberty blockers and mental health. –John Leake on Substack, read here:https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/doctor-refuses-to-publish-results?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=150723809&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=38u2zy&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

I don’t think President Trump will go far enough. Even with RFK Jr and Elon Musk. I think our country has already gone over the edge. And it’s so sad.

People are changing their minds about President Trump though. So, we’ll see how it all turns out. This is a screen capture of a meme that I found insightful. And it’s from @itrustthescience (a name I also found amusing.)

I always come back around the BALANCING though. For my own mental health. Don’t worry, tomorrow’s blog post will be lighter. I think! Haha!

Art class projects from Friday night and Sunday

My daughter and I went to an art class Friday night together and designed another ceramic bowl. She did a small one and gifted me a large bowl for my Christmas present. I chose lapis blue this time. You can’t see the blue yet though, until after it is fired in the kiln. And then Sunday, my son-in-law, daughter, and their twins (our twin granddaughters) went back to the art studio and painted molded ceramics. It was the art studio’s Halloween party, and the owner even dressed us an Axolotl! She went outside and waved at passing vehicles and offered to hand out candy too. Most people smiled at her and honked their horns, but I didn’t see anyone stop for the candy. She danced though! And I thought to myself, “How great is this! She can have fun no matter what”!

Super Patches – What is true for us

As for me and my house, we’ll listen to our inner Truth. I practice what I preach.

Everything happens for a reason

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason 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 soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25!

Yours in expanding, practicing-what-I-preach, spiraling consciousness,

Results from my first art class

I’ve been so focused on marketing our original music, that you may have forgotten that I’m working on my 5th book–I forget much of the time too! I’m still researching for the book with no release date in mind yet (though I am speaking with a book publisher this week). As well, my daughter got me out of the house last night to take an art class. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!):

Art class

It couldn’t have been a better subject than a Highland cow or Hairy Coo (as they are called in Scotland). Having seen Hairy Coo in Scotland (in 2019) I thought I’d do better on this. I think my daughter’s version turned out much better than mine, not that it was a competition. She’s been working at the art studio for two years and has picked up a lot of great ideas, though I do believe she’s a natural at this (see the last picture from her Facebook post of us).

This is what I started with (my daughter does most all of the tracings for every class at the studio).
This was the model and what we were aiming to do. Our teacher, Jeanie, encouraged us to take a photo of the model so we could zoom in on our phones to see the details. That didn’t help me toward the end though as I didn’t add the green leaves and little dots of flowers on the coo’s head. I almost forgot the white dots on the butterfly and the blue in the coo’s eyes too! Ha!
Almost done. I added the blue to the eyes but had not added the white dots to the butterfly yet.
I think my Hairy Coo looks great at home on the new white bedside table I got in from Etsy.

I really enjoyed painting, but I will say, that I observed us during the class, and aside from a little, “What did she say we do now?” and the like, my daughter and I were very focused on our art pieces. Others in the class were talking, laughing, and drinking (yes, it was a bring-your-own wine event), and while we were enjoying ourselves, I only got down about half of my cup of wine spritzer. I saw myself as being very serious and diligent in my ‘work.’

My daughter and I back home with our paintings. Richard took our picture.

Yours in expanding, 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 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.
