end of the year – Integrating the Spirals

It’s December 31st, 2024; We’ve got TWO original fun songs for your New Year’s Eve and to finish out 2024 and this year-long self-challenge I’ve been on! Woo-hoo! We made it through the year! These two high vibe songs are big favorites of ours!

This is the three-hundred-sixty-sixth new music post for 2024! Adam Cunningham brings his fantastic vocals front and center on both of these original songs! Gonna Open a Bar is a rock country fusion and Tip Jar is a a bit more country song–but both are full of energy! And you get to hear both sides of his voice in these solid hits. Both of these hot original songs were recorded and mixed by the aWEsOMe team at Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

AND

Can you tell I’m excited to finish out this year-long, self-challenge? Haha! I am! I’m sooo excited! And new things are already beginning to happen…

Did you catch the blog article I published about an hour before this one? If you didn’t see it, here’s the link: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/12/31/new-years-eve-2024/ I’d been reading (I forget from which blogger) that if you put a frog outside your door it will bring good luck in the new year. So, I’d mentioned to Linda of Handmade Haven by Linda on Etsy, that she might consider making a frog when she started a new wood burning project. And she did! She’s so great, she went for it and sent me a picture so as soon as she posted it to Etsy, if I wanted (no obligation), I could buy it! Free shipping too! Woo-hoo! Score!

The hairy coo

I think I forgot something else. I never posted my completed hairy coo from a few months ago! Ha!

Can you see that I’m trying to tie up loose ends?

Photo: My bedside table displaying hairy coo painting and ceramic figurine – plus crystals and handmade flowers from the twins. A few of you will see things you recognize here, daily calendar from my ‘Sis’ Doris, shungite pyramid from Sherinata, ocean jasper and dragon lace agate from Stacy Royal, and infinity ‘8’ card from Debra. Sooo many people and places to remember and hold in gratitude. –Sheila Murrey

Reflecting on the year

After the numbers are in for the whole year, I’ll post my WordPress stats. But suffice to say, my readership is up, WAY UP over last year… and I know that’s because of EACH of you, opening, reading, and joining me in the comments (both on my posts and on yours), all through 2024! I’ve taken more time to read more posts thoroughly and thoughtfully comment. People know when others are REALLY reading, not just skimming their posts. I’ve honestly enjoyed getting to know my favorite bloggers this year and dive in deep with them.

I took a cue from Max over at PowerPopBlog to list each of you and your blogs to give you ALL props for encouraging me this year! Your comments and well wishes really do keep a gal focused and motivated! For sure! I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, if so, know you are loved, and I will add you (let me know, please)! A few of you, I’ve only just begun to chat with, so I’ll be sure and do this again at the end of 2025, Omniscience willing we make it that far. Tada! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!

If I haven’t chatted with you for a while, just know that I have you on my list and it will happen. 2025 is my year for focused attention, and making more conscious time for chatting with you! Oh, and finishing up my 5th book. Ha! Yeah, there’s still THAT.

Aaron Abke

Okay, I might become obsessed with Aaron Abke. I’m now listening to his podcast episodes and finding a lot of value in them. I have said many of the things he talks about and I kind of have felt like I was on an island! So, I’m finding it all very exciting and thrilling that we’re on the same page, spiritually-speaking. I wonder if he’s read all of Shirley MacLaine’s books too? LOL Here’s one of his podcast episodes to get you started: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-abke-podcast/id1551862919?i=1000654095882

Here’s to an ever-expanding, enlightening, brilliant 2025 everyone! I wish you ALL a very Happy New Year!

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse and there are myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.

Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), spiraling consciousness,

Sheila’s books on Amazon

I have four books on Amazon. The two most recent are: Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally and Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. I invite you to check them out and leave a review on Amazon for me, if you’d be so kind. Amen. Namaste. OM

It’s December 30th, 2024; We’re down to our last couple of original songs to share… can you believe 2024 and this self-challenge is nearly DONE? WOW!!! Today’s song is one of our favorites. It features Adam Cunningham’s clear and rich vocals, and gives one a feeling of what it’s like to perform on stage. The song was inspired by Richard’s former live performance singing partner, Roy. Richard still talks about Roy Hood and all the shows they did together at Whiskey Creek in Bishop, CA–near Las Vegas, NV. They met Charlie Sheen, Demi Moore (when she was working on G.I. Jane), and others. Richard says that was some of the best years of his life (before me, that is.) Wink!

This is the three-hundred-sixty-fifth new music post for 2024! This original song was recorded and mixed by the fine folks at Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com

Show me to the stage. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

Tune up the guitars… setup the tip jar… shot of El Tesoro. How many songs got all this and a hat tip to George Strait?!? Love it! It’s on my dance break playlist.

Adam Cunningham does a bang up job on this original song! Why it wasn’t use on the amazing TV show, Yellowstone, I’ll never know! But we can hope that whatever’s next for Taylor Sheridan and the cast of Yellowstone, that one of our original songs will be part of it!

Balancing perspectives

Balancing perspectives is another new category I’m adding to this blog for 2025. We’ll see how it goes. The thought came to me while looking out our living/bedroom window with the new, somewhat mosaic, magnolia window decal on it. I bought this to cover the crack in the glass, and to add a bit more color to the main room. Yes, we have Richard’s artwork hanging on every wall, along with a couple of paintings (one done by me and one done by our daughter), but this design ‘spoke’ to me, so there’s that.

What a year it’s been

We’ve mostly adjusted to moving to New Hampshire, after living in Florida for nearly 40 years. But there are still things we haven’t seen yet, so we are looking forward to Spring. I want to take a train ride or two, and we may take a road trip this summer. I always consciously focus on the future, when saying goodbye to the past. And in the last 20 years or so, I’ve learned to ‘let stuff go’ with grace and ease with love and forgiveness attached!

President Jimmy Carter crossed over. I thought he was a good president, but I know some didn’t. It’s okay. He lived a good life though, and did so much in his later years with Habitat for Humanity. What a guy! This is a screen capture from the news I read this morning on 1440 news email. It’s the only news source I look at on a regular basis. We get most of our news from YouTubers. And most of those folks are in/near the places we’re we’re interested in and no mainstream media (MSM)!

Yes, I check an email each day to know what the Schumann Resonance is–here’s the link to subscribe if you’re interested in knowing this too! https://newsletter.disclosurenews.it/v6i3y5u6y3/2644436077372250832/b8v0/

Go figure! Glad the last four years are over. UGH!

Have you heard of Aaron Abke?

This is one of the new thought leaders I’m following, Aaron Abke. Have you heard of him? he’s doing something very much like what I’ve attempted to do with Integrating the Spirals, but since few have been interested in my ‘work,’ I figured I’d sit in on his meetings–at least he’s already gathered a like-minded tribe!

If you haven’t heard of Aaron, here’s how I found out about him:

And here’s his most recent email:
