And as Linda has suggested to me, when “you get to the point where the process becomes more like an escape from something on your to-do list, rather than an item on it. THAT’S when you’ll really smile.” And I am smiling, Linda. This was FUN!

The shoulder/arm/back pain is slowly reducing. I laid on the TENS machine yesterday (and though it was 91 degrees upstairs, I still fell asleep), and it relieves the pain totally only for as long as I’m on it. So, there’s that. I’m still using the PowerPlate handheld massager when the nerve acts up (about once every 30 minutes). The herbal tincture from Herbal-Cottage and arrived yesterday is helping too. I took another (very old) Ibuprofen last night. It occurred to me that whatever relief it’s offering is no doubt slight, as that bottle is at least 10 years old.
I updated my blog site menu on the home page and rewrote the merch/store page at: https://sheilamurrey.net/store/ (its under the Murrey Creations tab on the home page, and it will be at the bottom of each future article too).
And in keeping with our Murrey Creations “Original songs for improving brain health” Facebook public group, I’ve been working on two new original songs for Gina Virginia Casella and her upcoming Fall conference, so I’ll be writing more about that in a week or two.

Remember our new mantra: “Art communicates more than words, builds new neural pathways (in the brain), and connects us all!”
Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. Doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling integrating ride to better health, doing with more ease and less effort-ing, to help us find and sustain the JOY in our lives! (Sprinkling Gratitude all around while we’re at it.)

It’s September 8th, 2024; We have an original pop rock song to entice you to “put on your dancing shoes”! Bubba Hudson’s voice worked so well in this song! Right from the start, it honors the Godfather of Soul, James Brown (whom Richard and I have seen Live–back in the day). Richard saw James Brown before we met each other. I saw him after Richard and I met, but though I’d invited Richard, he didn’t go to the faraway concert with me–maybe he knew it would be my last outing before marrying him? Ha! I don’t know. James Brown is still on my list as one of the best Live acts I’ve ever seen! I saw him at Bonnaroo–the second of all of the Bonnaroo concerts in Tennessee. So, yes, I love this song! This is a blast! It’s a FUN radio-ready song from Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN.
Here’s the two-hundred-fifty-second new music post for 2024, as I consistently share our original songs. And this one is made for DANCING! Haha! Now, get on your ‘danzinshooz’!

Breaking News!
I’m going to have a brand new song for you tomorrow! It just went Live on YouTube last night and I want to see how many of our subscribers view it before I share it here. Yes, I am a stats person. Ha! It’s one of the first we’ve had Bubba Hudson do the vocals and music on–he’s done one or two others for us, but none like this. I think you’ll like it.
What platform do you do video chats on?
I was chatting with my friend, Dorit from Israel, on Facebook Messenger this morning. Then we started sending each other voice clips. International calling is sooo expensive, she asked if I had What’s App. I told her I used to, but since I’d been hacked twice within a year a few years ago. I’d removed most of the apps from my old (but still working) iPhone 7 Plus! Have you used What’s App? Do you like it?
We then discussed what other video chat apps we have used and I told her I have Zoom. She has Zoom too, so we quickly moved to a Zoom call. Do you use Zoom? I’m open to speaking with any of you via Zoom sometime if you like.
Another reason I’m asking which platform you like is because my uncle (who’s 77 years old) has an Android phone and would like to video chat with a wood turner friend of his that lives a few hours from him, and that friend has an iPhone. I suggested What’s App to him but told him they’d both have to download the app and learn how to use it. Or they could both search, video chat, or video conference on each of the phone’s app stores to see if they could find one in common to both phones.
Facebook group
Our big topic of discussion today, and the topic that prompted our video chat, was the shared Facebook group we’re both in–the one I’ve shared about the past several days where Richard and I introduced ourselves. It’s all been FREE until now. Yesterday, the founders (of the group) had a call with Lori Phillips and were invited to PAY to be highlighted more often in the group. But what’s the point of that? Sure, the group is now at 6k members, but as we all know, Facebook could go away at any time–and I’ve had friends that (without doing anything wrong at all), had their whole Facebook accounts taken away without warning!! So, I am very skeptical about paying money to get more publicity (within a 6,000+ member Facebook group, even if it’s growing fast). What are your thoughts?
I just took out my dowsing rods to ask about this too, that’s how much I am on the fence about it. I mean, my first thought was NO (because I paid $12k for a business coach a few years ago that didn’t provide much value. A few good tips and ‘connection’ with a few folks like us (musicians, teachers, and artists), but like us, they didn’t reach any new heights from that 1-year program, which for me, ended up only lasting for 10 months. So, yes, I am jaded.
And I’m NOT a salesperson. Dorit agreed that she isn’t either. And neither of us are wired to be salespeople. We want to GIVE all of what God has blessed us with a way to ‘help others.’ She’s a naturopath and has nothing other than her wisdom to share. She told me, I’m not like you, who have music, art, and books to sell–I didn’t even tell her about the holistic health patches, figuring she’s already seen my posts about those on Facebook. We’re both in Dr. Bruce Lipton’s group–that’s how we met. But we have so much in common! We’re both only children (both of our mothers had Rh-negative blood, and lost other babies). We both have grown children and are in total alignment regarding the shots/natural health, etc. Oh! And we’re both on the expanding consciousness track with Dr. Bruce. (She’s met him in person too, along with his wife, Gregg Braden, etc.) I was supposed to meet Gregg when I met Dr. Bruce at the TCCHE conference but he was ill and couldn’t attend live so we got him on Zoom and broadcast on a big-screen TV monitor for the 2,000 or so people in attendance. Here’s my former post about that.
As for Facebook, you know I have a love-hate relationship with it. Here’s one of my first blog posts on this platform and it was when I’d quit Facebook! Ha! I think I had good reason to quit back in the day. But let me know what YOU think (as Russell Brand says)!

It’s September 4th, 2024; We have an original rock song for you today—simple, yet elegant vocals from Bubba Hudson in this. A polished production from Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN. One of our favorite songs with an earworm; I often catch myself singing it to myself while washing dishes. Wouldn’t this make a brilliant podcast intro? As the song sings, “Already got what you’re working for, peace and harmony. Enjoy the pleasures in life, simple works for me!”
Here’s the two-hundred-forty-eighth new music post for 2024, as I consistently bring you pleasing new original songs to help you through your days and nights. We have all kinds of music for the intellectually curious and those desiring an easier walk through life!
Speaking of simple
I’ve noticed something while attending Zoom calls over the last few years. I noticed that because I love connecting with people on a variety of subjects, the group chats went from zero participation to nearly full participation after I began jumping in and welcoming attendees and directing them to the owner’s online forum/portal, websites, etc. Thus, I’ve decided to offer this as a service! If you run a Zoom group call and want to amp up your attendee participation, hire me!
I’ll facilitate your group chats and get Zoom attendees engaging with each other, to form a real commUnity! Then later, the owners of the Zoom call and scour the chat for information that will help them continue to serve and market to their audience!
I was thrilled to learn that I’d won a little video challenge in my new favorite Facebook group, Be Awesome Network! So, I’ll be doing another video chat with Lori Phillips later today; she’ll add it to the group for viewing, so you have an opportunity to see me again. I’ve done two other video interviews with her in the group thus far, and then I shot the one of Richard, which is the video that won the challenge. I’m planning on bringing Richard on with me as my special guest today! We’ll see how it goes. We’re going to go unscripted as usual and full-on Stream of Consciousness (SoC)! I’m excited! Woo-hoo!

We each view Spirituality a bit differently
I loved this meme when a friend shared it on Facebook the other day. The Eco Logical, circle paradigm aligns nicely with my Integrating the Spirals DE-Program offering! I’m still open and willing to go through these sessions one-on-one with anyone who resonates with this and wants to know more. And I’ve just updated my Calendly calendar to make an appointment to discuss the course and make payment arrangements. (I don’t use PayPal anymore, so we’ll figure that out pay options when we talk.) I’m making myself more available with new opening days/times, All times are based on my NY US eastern time zone.

It’s September 3rd, 2024; We have an original rock song for ALL today, especially those who question what’s going on and if the angels exist, what they must think. Beautiful vocals on this song from Bubba Hudson, and pro demo mix from Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN. This is one of our favorites songs (with an incredible lead guitar break), that I don’t play enough! We’d be thrilled if someone would use it in a film or television series. Let us know if you can help us with that! As the song asks, “Will it end like Sodom and Gomorrah?”
Here’s the two-hundred-forty-seventh new music post for 2024, as I consistently stir up new original songs for your listening pleasure and perhaps, for inclusion in future TV shows or films. We create music for the intellectually curious and those looking for fun and insights on life!
Speaking of angels (in the chat text)
I attend a LOT of online meetings and I participate in the chats. I drum up engagement. Typically, I am not paid to do this, but I am open to receive payment if someone is hosting Zoom calls and would love to get their attendees chatting! As you’ll see from one of the exemplary chat posts next, during the calls, people begin trusting the Universe and offer loads of advice to one or all of the attendees. I also read a good many public comments on YouTube, so I am not always 100% certain where I pick up gems like this:
Screen capture: “…do everything with LOVE – then you have more than a fighting chance of ‘redeeming’ yourself. As long as you are breathing, you can make a difference: In your life, as well as others, Be as loving; kind, and patient as you can with everyone you meet.” Words from Sia Dawn, from a Dr. Raymond Moody (pictured) Zoom online meeting I attended. I capture a lot of information during all online meetings I attend, but most I do not share publicly. Typically, I share things like this in private Integrating the Spirals session, but felt led to share this now.
Richard would like to thank ALL of you for the birthday wishes and blessings! I forgot to tell you the other day, but yes, he had a delightful birthday.
From atheist to believer and teacher of Spirituality
Now, I’m not saying if you are an atheist you must believe in angels or spirits, but this lady sure awakened to the ethereal! I had the extreme pleasure of watching this interview in this Facebook group yesterday: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/6FkTneBPSbZRE92g/
You have to join the Facebook group and then search or scroll through the interviews to find this one of Sandra Adler:
No more frozen shoulder
My frozen shoulder isn’t frozen anymore! I’ve been wearing these Super Patches for a bit more than a month and I just realized today that my frozen shoulder isn’t frozen anymore! I can move it all around without feeling any stickiness, stiffness, or soreness. In fact, I have full range of motion in it now. WOW!
