dad – Integrating the Spirals

January 10, 2024December 14, 2024 Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey Art & Music, Connections, Mind-Body, Spirit

January 10th – Celebrating my birthday

It’s January 10th, 2024; We’re celebrating my birthday and I have a couple of songs for you! the first song, Wonderin‘, was supposed to be included in one of the episodes of the TV show, Ozark. This is the first song Richard and I wrote together (he wrote the music and I wrote the lyrics) when we were dating long distance over 20 years ago! I was in a travel trailer out in Missouri and he was working at the Space Center in Florida. We’d never had a physical date at this point, hence all the wondering I’d been doing. But my daughter said I was already in love with Richard before we even had our first in-person date! Haha!

The second song, Madly in love, is one of several he’s written for me, with loads of photos of me throughout the years (and yes, some that were taken long before we met that he’s always loved). Eye-feasting or whatever! Ha!

Love this ‘new love’ song – Wonderin’

Here’s the tenth new music post for 2024 as I consistently present our original songs.

This is video #1 of Wonderin’ – Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

Loving relationships

As I explained yesterday, I am Richard’s third wife and he’s my third husband. When I introduced Richard to my parents my mom shrieked, “He’s been married twice before?” And then I calmly told her, “So have I.” Ha! That stopped the judgment right in its tracks. Mom never said any more about it, nor did my dad. They loved Richard though and now, all I choose to dwell on were the words mom said to Richard just prior to her going into her final years of Alzheimer’s disease, “Take care of my baby.” And he has. In turn, I am doing my best for him post-stroke. Just because the body breaks down in later years is no reason for the romance to end, even if all you can do is hug, kiss, and hold hands! We feel that is vitally important too!

Speaking of mom and dad

Even years before my mom passed, my dad would be the first to call me on my birthday and sing, Happy Birthday, to me–and if I didn’t answer the phone, he’d sing it on voicemail. And yes, I still have one of those recordings. I loved my dad’s voice (well, mom’s too, but sadly I don’t have much of mom on those voicemail recordings).

So THIS happened today and I call it my little Wink from the Universe, or in this case of synchronicity, Wink from my dad (he passed in 2019, mom in 2017 their eulogies are linked).

A cool thing that happened this morning, even if it was a scam/spam call.

In 2019, Richard took the picture. Patricia McGivern always posts it on Facebook for my birthday! We enjoyed our life-enhancing Sacred Celtic Journey so much!

Cake! Cake! We love the cake! Haha!

I’m having so much fun today, and writing this blog article is part of it. We walked to our local diner for breakfast and then to the grocery store to pick up my free birthday cake. If you are near a Publix store, they will gift you a cake or ice cream on your birthday if you sign up for their loyalty program, which I highly recommend. I’ve been getting their delicious carrot cake every year on my birthday for the last several years.

My birthday cake from Publix and supplements (arrived today too)

We don’t eat dessert often, but when we do, we go for the good stuff! And I had to quote one of our favorite lines from the TV show, Little Britain. Always seek to live IN Joy with no guilt or regrets.

Our music catalog is online

We have over 400 original songs/material that filmmakers, podcasters, and more could use in movies, TV shows, video intros, and such. I share this post on Tumblr (automatic feed from WordPress), Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Alignable, and now, Truth Social (in that order). All of Richard’s original songs are available on his website at: Listen4Music.com

Lies: Hollywood

Why do we enjoy being lied to?

We must! We pay good money to go to the movies or watch TV (via cable, streaming, or such) and all actors lie. They memorize the words writers wrote for them!

In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the world of Acting and Entertainment Writing.

Supposedly, actors are sooo good at what they do, lying and pretending, for a short time—they embody the character they are playing.

Effectively, actors trick themselves into believing they are the character while crafting a performance. They immerse themselves into their character as to believe they are the character. They believe the lie and sell it to us.

Yet, without any expressive words of a script, without a fully rendered explanation of the story, could they bodily craft such a scene?

Spiral thoughts: My dad, way before he met my mom, went to Hollywood because a teacher he had in school said he had the looks and abilities to be a good actor. But when dad got there he said all they did was teach him to lie. He wanted no part of it and came back home.

Interestingly, dad met mom not long after and when he brought her home to meet his family they all thought she was a movie star! She was beautiful but never saw herself that way.

Let me entertain you

Ah, those words alone bring the famous song to my mind! Who can forget? Haha! There are a great many now too young to even know what I’m referring to! So, here ya go:

https://youtu.be/TGHtz9DKqk8

I used to watch a lot of old movies with my mom while I was growing up. We both loved the musicals. I loved the dancing. Mom loved the romance.

I do think movies and TV shows set us up to fail in a way. To be in love with love. And almost nobody has those movie-like fairytale love affairs. If they do they don’t last.

Give that man an award

Jerry Seinfeld, still one of the funniest comedians alive, does this routine about giving a guy an award because he stood on the right spot and spoke a rehearsed line with some sort of feined emotion or feeling.

Real people, us living actual lives (like teachers, firefighters, and police) do this too, nearly everyday but no one gives them an award.

Why the need for all these awards anyway?

I can see clearly now

When I use my mirrorball and play with my thoughts I can see a lot of things more clearly. And I love teaching that process. There really are multiple sides to every story, not simply two.

Finally! My book is done!

Since I met Patricia McGivern and had a one-on-one hypnotherapy session with her on my birthday in 2016, I have been keeping notes about observations in nature, dreams, visions, and surreal experiences (nighttime visitations) from my mom and dad since they have crossed over to the Other Side of The Veil, transitioned to the Grand Beyond, or had their “Celebration Day.”

My new book draws from these experiences. I named the book, Blues Eyes, a metaphysical novel because it’s centered around things my one day old sister, Christina has shown me.

Book cover: Blue Eyes: A metaphysical novel

I’ll write more and put out some videos soon about what the writing process has been like, but for now, I want to highlight some important lessons and concepts:

Note from March 18th, 2016

“And birth is only the beginning. It is overwhelming sometimes to ponder how courageous and brave it is of each soul to agree to this carnal ride.

Oh, how bumpy and bizarre this ride! How curious this journey of becoming human. How mysterious and magical to be in a living, changing, growing, wonderful body!

As an adult, we think we’re big enough, strong, and tough enough to survive, but we know the body and mind are fragile too.

Imagine when we are in the womb, how fragile, delicate, and vulnerable we are. Oh, how indescribable it must be!

So, let us all pray and meditate daily about how grateful we are to have been born–to be here!

We are able to live, move, and have our being, while not every soul who desires and strives to be here, makes it.

And lets be kind to our bodies, our children, and each other. For we are all blessed to be here, and IN Joy relish the time we have on this magnificent planet.

Note from March 18th, 2021

An Aha moment! While reading the preceding paragraphs, held within about 500 writing “Notes” in my iPhone, I realized (seeing with REAL EYES), that I’d written that 3 years to the day BEFORE the DATE dad had set with me to visit each other—due to me always being “busy, busy, busy” (dad’s words).

Overarching Takeaways

Sitting in this “complete and fulfilling state of GRATITUDE and GRACE” I Am humbled.

When anything disturbs me (including myself), when my expectations aren’t met, I will choose to let it go as best I can to Limitless Omniscience God, and forgive myself and others as we can never see the whole picture, or know the whole story—much less control anything.

Cherish nothing else except each moment of Presence.

Know that you yourself are essential to this world. Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this world.

In a Sacred Hoop of Life, there is no beginning and no ending. To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a reason.

Each of us is important and have a mission. Much love and multitudinous blessings to each of you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀〰️

How we’re seen from the Other Side

Early this morning I saw my dad in my dream. (FYI my dad passed away / crossed over the the “Other Side” March 8th, 2019, and I wrote his eulogy here. The day after dad “died,” I had an early morning vision, and wrote about it here.)

Dad showed me (in this vision type dream of the afterlife) that there’s no time on the other side, and what this means is that they see us as one of those age progression photographs—we are ALL ages, all at once!

Dad says he sees me as I am now, when I was first married, had my children, and as I was at every year of my childhood! All at the same time… which for me, is mind blowing!

He showed me that is why our bodies still have stem cells and why, as we age, we desire to write a letter to our younger self! Also, it’s why we think we carry around our inner child within us our whole lives!

It was such a wondrous dream! It seemed to take no time for papa to download this information to me.

I wrote the details of the dream/vision all down immediately upon waking up, but later, while taking my shower, I also had a flash in my mind’s eye, that this is why artists paint in the cubism art style—they are attempting to show us how we live all aspects of ourselves (of our past selves) in this, Now.

I hope this has given you some things to think about, especially if you’ve ever wondered how (or if) you are seen by loved ones who have crossed over to the Grand Beyond.

Much love and many blessings. ❤️🦋🌀🙏☮️ OM

A surreal vision: soul departure

Vision of a soul departing

At this time, I am ready to write about a nearly indescribable experience I had the morning after my dad passed away.

My dad passed away in his sleep the night of March 8th, 2019. The next morning when I got the call (from my son), my husband came home from work and we drove 2.5 hours to the property where my son and dad lived. My son, distraught from finding his papaw in that way, asked if my husband and I could stay the night, and of course, I had already decided we would (though we really had not had any presence of mind to take anything with us).

So, as the night wore on, I slept sporadically. At one point, I awoke and cried. As I was about to fall back asleep (about 5am), I had an incredible vision. I saw that my amazing father had been sleeping on the couch in his motorhome and about two feet of the wall, near the ceiling, had opened up and an immense golden light appeared. At the far edge of the golden light, similar to the golden sunlight the next photo captures, there was a distant outline of a city.

Photo credit: Long-time friend, Angela Brill — Golden sun. Photo credit: Angela Brill

Now, I’ve never been one to believe in heavenly streets paved with gold or anything, though the Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies, and there’s that scene in it of the shimmering green city of Oz. So, perhaps that was coming through my subconscious. But, the next part is what totally blew my mind!

When that golden light appeared, it took my daddy’s soul, instantly, up and out of the motorhome (through that opening in the wall) and my dad had no choice in the matter. His eyes and mouth were open. His soul departed his body out through his eyes and mouth. My son confirmed to me that dad’s eyes and mouth were open when he found him.

In the vision I was given a knowing that when my dad’s soul departed, he did not have thoughts of missing anyone here, what things he had left to do, what else he had planned to do–Nothing. It was that quick. His soul just left. Poof!

I took a moment to write the following, right after the vision, so I wouldn’t forget it. And so I could tell of it later. This is what I jotted down on my iPhone:

Eternal Love

I know my dad loved me more than I could ever know. I have grieved his passing mostly because I thought he was doing well. He’d not been sick. He looked fine. Not overweight. No beer belly. No diabetes, or any other chronic illness that I knew of. In other words, older, but the picture of health.

And I grieved because I hadn’t seen him since Jan. 6th, when I had visited to commemorate what would have been mom and dad’s 59th wedding anniversary. We lost my mom 21 months prior to dad’s passing.

Dad had called me a few days before he passed and made an “appointment” with me (his word, not mine) to visit on March 18th. Often he’d tell me he knew I was “busy, busy, busy.” Ugh!

Papa had stopped by our place unannounced the week prior, but as fate would have it, my job had called me out of town on short notice, and neither my husband nor I were home when he’d stopped by (and he never just popped in). It was just all salt to open wounds of grief.

I have read that in India, when someone dies with their eyes and mouth open, that it indicates the person did good deeds in this life. Oh, yes! I know this was the case with my dad. Though he’d made his share of mistakes (haven’t we all? I know I sure have!), he learned from them and lived the rest of his days as a beacon of what loyalty and love means.

Forever Home – A Calling

I took this next picture in our home state of West Virginia. It’s of the last property my daddy bought, and of the tree stump where dad used to sit and gaze upon the hills. My son had smoothed the seat after dad had told him he loved the view from there.

Oh, I wonder what dad thought about while he sat there. I have at least one voicemail also, where he’d mentioned this was where he was sitting when he called.

I am now realizing the road of life can be rough. But, when we love, and we know our dear ones loved us, we can consciously choose to smooth it out and know we have nothing to fear beyond The Veil.

We Are All Connected.

Even when we choose, like I have, to take the long way home, it is said that we shall meet again. My soul finds rest and comfort in that knowing. [Insert BIG ❤️ here]!

Every morning I look into my eyes and I see you there. And when I miss you, I kiss the palm of my hand because your blood runs through my veins and connects us still.

Hugs and kisses, papa and mama. Until we meet again.

To everyone: Be a blessing. Much love to you in ALL ways. Amen and Namaste. OM
