The REAL Apalachee Indians were in Northeast Georgia, not northwestern Florida. They were the immediate ancestors of the Muskogee-Creek Confederacy. …
Why would a high school in Northeast Georgia be named “Apalachee?”
It’s March 9th, 2024; Here’s a jazz original song for you with sax! It’s all about desire. This song is full of adjectives about the protagonist’s desire. And how they “rock his world.”
One of things we enjoyed so much about having our songs produced in Nashville, TN over the years was being able to hire and incorporate the sweet saxophone sounds from acclaimed horn player, John Heinrich. This original jazz song also had vocals done by our friend Bubba Hudson, and brilliantly mixed by Steven Cooper.
Here’s the sixty-eighth new music post for 2024, as I consistently present my loving Richard’s original songs daily. He’s sure something! I may not have blond hair (anymore), but I have blue eyes, and so does he. Richard even featured an image of me in the video he crafted (from when we were in Ireland in 2019):
I could listen to this (with John’s playing) all day. His style and expert skills draw me right into this song and add so much complexity and richness to it. And I’m not a ‘jazz person’ much at all! Ha! But I love and seek variety. I read in another blog this morning, that’s a sign of high intellect. Hmm. Perhaps!
As promised, here are a few photos from our outing yesterday at Silver Springs State Park Campground (whilst spending time with our family–Richard’s sister):
The sun did appear for a few hours, but mostly it was partly sunny. I’m in the black ‘Kindness’ top, my hubby Richard is in the purple ‘Sexasaurus’ t-shirt (sold here), Rose (Richard’s sister is in the purple top and skirt, and her husband Alan is in the green t-shirt. There are a couple of shots of the campground with trees and foliage (one is their spot the other is the campground host spot). The green box is for recycling.
And yes, I had some time yesterday to sit with memories of my dad (who knew so much about trees), who passed/crossed over to the Grand Beyond, five years ago on March 8th. I pondered how we mere humans always seem to mark the time of memorable dates (happy or sad) and why we do such things. I will tell you that I woke up with the words to a song I’ve never cared much for because I didn’t like James Taylor, but it’s a song most of us know–You’ve Got a Friend. When the words, “I always thought that I’d see you again” came to mind, I wept. I think Dad sent me that to help me ease through any remaining remnants of grief. Aww!
What kind of tree is this??? Overall it looked like a scrub oak tree, but 90% of it or more was covered in these teets or knobs (nobs?). I did a Google Image Search but still unsure (I think it’s a fungus). Let me know in the comments if you have an idea. Curiosity may have ‘killed the cat’ but it keeps our minds sharp! Ha!
Here’s a list I began curating a while ago of all the vloggers (video bloggers) we’ve subscribed to and followed the longest. I’ll also put together a list (soon) of the newest ones we’re now watching–but this will give you some idea of who we like and gather a variety of information from:
Enjoy (IN Joy) and have fun! Be Everything All the Time.
May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! Here’s to enjoying jazzy music in Springtime!
Yours in expanding, jazzy, spiraling consciousness,

As a Minister and Spiritual Advisor, it is my pleasure to help you find a way to Connect with spirit. Our ever-living God Omniscience knows ALL. The invitation is open to you.
I speak and offer advice by invitation only. If you would love me to speak at your office, bookstore, crystal shop, acupuncture/chiropractor office, natural health foods store, art fair, music, or yoga festival–comment on this post or reach out to me via my social channels.
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.

Here are the social channels where I am most active:
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:
Instead of copying all of this, I’ll simply post the link:
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).
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.
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”!
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.
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:
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.
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:
Yours in expanding, FREEDOM-loving, revolving, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY!

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.

Mankind has lived on this island in the Oresund Channel between Sweden and Denmark for about 12,000 years. Its earliest inhabitants apparently were …
Video: Ven Island, Sweden
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever you are in the world. I am just waking up on Saturday morning, thinking about the sort of pseudo-dream vision that I had. 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!):
When waking up this morning, I was thinking about the concept of how someone’s life flashes before them, when they’re in the moment of death, or I guess are dying. And my thought was what if the ‘Walls Could Talk’ or the ‘Dishes Could Talk’? As for what if the walls could talk I was thinking back on where my first husband and I lived when my daughter was born. And if we had just stayed there, we would have stayed in a mobile home that was on my parent’s property.
My mom so loved being close to my daughter and for whatever reason, in my mind, I was thinking back then that I really wanted to move away, not too far, but just far enough where I could sort of get my own feet under me; make my own choices; live my own life, without my mom kind of attached to me at the hip.
So when an opportunity came up to buy a house, in the neighboring state, we did it. We moved about 17 miles away from my parents. We bought the house and we moved, taking our young daughter with us. We lived there when I got pregnant and had my son too.
So we went from a mobile home in West Virginia to a smallish house in Ohio. And that’s where I brought my son home from the hospital. So we had my daughter—who was 22 months old when I had my son. I had two children (under two) while living in that house, and we lived there for only about a year. I don’t think it was any more than two years. And then (I thought about) how much I experienced as a young adult being there—on my own (with my little family) at my first house.
And then the dream sort of peeled off from that experience, “if those walls could talk” because a lot of things happened in that house and in our experience there that I wish had not happened. My regret was, or my thought was, that we should have stayed in the mobile home, on my parents property. The dream was sort of how that wrapped up. And then one of the things I remembered was a very clear recollection of washing dishes. And I’m still using the same China today that I was using there when we lived in that house. Also when we lived in the mobile home–it was the China I bought from ou neighbor’s friend from Germany—when I was 15. I put it in my Hope chest. (Something every girl wanted to have back then.) And the China was the only thing I had in the Hope chest—though I might have had a few other items, but nothing comes to mind.
And so in my dream, I was washing my dishes this China while I was standing at the kitchen sink and in the house in Ohio, looking out onto the backyard. And it was a pretty little neighborhood. It was the cul de sac. It was a circle (circular street). Interesting.
So the next part of this is if one of the dishes could talk and how many places I’ve moved to in my life since that house. After that house, we went back to West Virginia and stayed in a small apartment for less than a year. And then we moved to Florida.
We moved to Florida when I was 22 and it took a whole “Act of Congress,” so to speak, but it was my dad, my first husband, and my two children and me (Mom stayed behind in WV for another year or so). And we packed everything ourselves.
My dad had what I guess you’d call a cargo van. Now it had a couple of captain’s chairs in it though, but I think it was pretty much empty other than that. We had some movable foam seating that we could move in and out and then a lot of things packed in there (of ours and of my dad’s things) because he bought a double-wide mobile home in Florida and we were all going to stay in that until dad and my first husband got dad’s dump truck business going. We had already been down to Florida before from West Virginia to get that started, which I had thought we would do months before and why we had to rent the apartment in WV for a few months.
We had rented an apartment in Orlando so that was my first real experience of Florida living.
We only stayed, my kids and me, in the apartment maybe for a few weeks to a month and that was okay. I wasn’t thrilled about Orlando traffic back then. But we were in the middle of town. And I didn’t notice too much of the expanse that the city of Orlando was taking. I just knew our little neighborhood that we rented the apartment and that was pretty cool and it was quiet. And when I say cool, it was quiet.
About when we made the move. We had dad’s cargo van I had a cargo van and then we towed behind us flat open trailers that were just like a flatbed trailer—no walls, roof, or anything. It was just an open-air trailer with wood planks on the bottom.
We had loaded up all our furniture, including the aforementioned China dishes, crystal, and things like that. And pretty much in boxes as I recall. So I mean, we were sort of hoping that it didn’t rain because things would have gotten wet. Although I’m sure we had plastic tarps but I don’t remember that. I just remember the move.
After I had been in Florida for many years, I ended up getting a job in a northern state. I’ll just leave it at that. It’s not something I like to talk about (I’ll just say it was a state north of Washington DC.) We lived there for not quite a year. But the company I got the job with had moved us. So that was a whole other experience of having somebody else come in, unknown to me, and pack our things. My China got packed up by other people I didn’t know. My mom came and helped too, though she mostly cleaned the apartment, she did help pack some of the China and crystal and things like that too. My children were teenagers then.
So we went north and at that moment in my life, I had been married and divorced. Later, the ex second husband at some point wanted us to move from that Northern State to Texas.
I had to rent my moving truck, and then he flew up from Texas and packed everything from that place into the moving truck–what a fiasco it was. I nearly changed my mind. I had no control over what all he did because he was a controlling person (years later I would learn he was a narcissist). And there were issues after we moved to Texas. I used that same China all through those years though. That (relationship) ended badly and I ended up leaving Texas—renting another U haul to move all my stuff AGAIN.
My daughter took a Greyhound bus, by this time she was an adult, and she came out to Texas from Florida to help me (along with a bunch of people I worked with–they helped me). They were great people! I had great friends in Texas. I’m still friends with many. They helped us pack the moving truck and then my daughter drove my vehicle and I drove the moving truck. We drove from Texas to Florida to move me back to Florida (my son had been with me in Texas but he moved himself and came back to Florida a few weeks before I did).
So I’ve lived in Florida. I was thinking this too I lived in Florida nearly 40 years ago. Except for the two years that we were gone because of going to the northern state and then also to Texas. But I was a Florida resident all that time anyway, and I only changed my driver’s license from Florida to Texas for the time I was in Texas; I never changed it though for the few months I had worked in the northern state because technically I was still a Florida resident, employed by Florida company. But that China has been all around the freakin’ country!
I also traveled for a while with a travel trailer for work. I took some of the China with me then—probably two or three items, not much, because it was just myself and my two dogs. I was in Missouri for over a year in the Travel Trailer working out there. That’s when I met Richard—we met online and dated for a year long distance relationship until that job laid me off and I could come back to Florida and begin anew. I ended up going to the space center and working there for six and a half years.
Back to the China though, when there was that financial downturn in 2008 and 2009. I got a job in Orlando (and commuted), as we lived in Titusville. I couldn’t keep that up. And I had an offer in Pennsylvania. So we sold our house and bought an RV and I took the China with us in the RV but it was so heavy and things as one might know that does RV travel and RV living things can move around in the cabinets. So I pack it packed it all up in bubble wrap, put it in a plastic tote, and put it in the basement storage of the fifth wheel. Every place we went, it was with us. I just wasn’t using it. I had some stoneware (mom had given me) that I was using instead. And of course, plastic plates and things like that because in an RV plastic is king or queen. However, you want to look at it. So the China has always been with me and we lived in the RV for 11 years and I hadn’t used it.
Now that we’re in this apartment I am using my China. When we rented the condo it was furnished and we didn’t have any need for our dishes since we had all the owner’s stuff that was there. The condo had a set of a microwavable melamine type of Corning or something. We used those for two years while we were living in there.
Eleven years we were in the RV, two years in the condo in Bradenton and I didn’t use my China again until now. Yes, I’m using China again. And you know what, it’s heavy. It’s really heavy and I think that’s why I had this dream. Because of the moves, and the houses, and the responsibilities of even making all the moves. And now holding this heavy China I’m realizing the weight of it. Both the weight of the memories and of the actual China.
I think that’s where I’ll leave this.

Do you meditate? As for me, I love my alone time. And trees help! I use them as analogies while I teach too. I have for years but never gave it much thought as to why until 2019.
You see, in 2019 I met a huge Yew tree in Scotland. It was behind Rosslyn castle at Rosslyn chapel of Da Vinci Code fame.
When we moved back to the Bradenton, Florida area two years ago, I realized I had always been drawn to meditating with the banyan trees (similar to Yew trees) that grew outside my corner window office/cubicle.
I was blessed to have them there to ground me for the three years I worked in that place. I could look through the window and connect with the lot of banyan trees and one very tall lone palm tree, and meditate during chaotic work hours. Those trees grounded me (as I worked on the fourth floor).
Similar to the being and beast connection in the film, Avatar, I had made a soul connection with the trees.
Upon moving back and driving by my former office building, I looked for the trees and they were gone though. I did some research and found the church across the street had the trees removed to make a parking lot. I guess they didn’t learn a thing from Joni Mitchell, who sang the song, Parking Lot.
It is my humble honor to expand our consciousness together and GROW our souls.

A lot of something can be a poison; a little, a medicine. In the physical, our eyes are limited and we see through the veil darkly. And fractals. Always uncovering the fractals to reveal many layers and play with the patterns that emerge.
To listen instead of read, play this (you’ll get a surprise if you do, I sing a line from a song you may recognize that inspired this):
Alcohol. Used to make tinctures, tonics, and medicine, or to cook with, can be good. But to an alcoholic that same small amount can trigger a binge. People have died from drinking too much alcohol. Thus, it is a lethal substance, yet legal (in most places in the USA).
Water. Too little can kill; too much can kill. Air carries tiny droplets of water we call, Humidity.
Air. Breathwork is beautiful. Hyperventilation can cause someone to pass out. Humans can only go so many minutes without air though. Our physical reality literally depends on a mixture of invisible chemicals we call, Air.
Dirt. I remember a story about a Russian woman who lived to a long age by eating dirt. We need a little dirt, I recall hearing as a child–for the minerals. When we die, we are buried beneath four to six feet of dirt. When we buried my parents the cemetery owner told me the “six feet under” thing was a fallacy. They typically only dig the hole down into the earth about four feet.
Minerals. A little mercury? Too much is certain poison. A little dab will do you (maybe?) of this earth element that is a combination found in the environment of cinnabar and metacinnabar. But at some amount, mercury is toxic. Who was the first person to discover this? What suffering did that person experience?
Driving. When drivers follow the rules, traffic seems orderly. Remember leisurely Sunday drives? I do. But recently I chose to give up driving because it stresses me out. Or perhaps, I ALLOW crazy drivers to stress ME out? Even when I practice Reiki and turn my spiritual Reiki light on, the hassle of driving was something I didn’t feel I needed anymore–plus the financial costs of buying, maintaining, fueling, and insuring a car when I only went short distances once a week.
What stresses you out, physically or chemically that you can choose to “let go of” in order to live freer?
I left my home state at 22 years of age because I couldn’t breathe there. Physically, the area I was born and raised in was called, The Chemical Valley. And I was diagnosed and treated with asthma from the time I was six years of age. When I was about eight years old we visited Florida, due to a death of a close family friend, and I found I could BREATHE free and clear for the first time in my life. And I loved the beach and palm trees. I told my dad, “I want to live in Florida”! And my wonderful Dad helped make that a reality for me, though it took many years. Mom only moved because she had to. Mom loved our home state.
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do influence, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW.
Have you examined something so intricately that while on the surface looked uninteresting or untrue, but then upon digging further you found hidden truths?
Perhaps finding truth simply means examining the levels of life and layers more closely. I think most people don’t want to work that hard. They don’t want to keep digging to uncover the truth because it might mean they’ll have to change something about themselves or how they live life.
Why do myths persist?
There must be at least some truth to the “old wives’ tales,” no?
We can study life in a matter of degrees; too hot, too cold and too much or little information. ALL of life comes down (can be explained) by working through the layers, levels, doses, and degrees.
The unexamined life is not worth living, right?

In and beyond this magnificent Universe, Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you because you are a fractal part of Omniscience. You are truly never alone in this ever-expanding Universe. We are each fractals of Omniscience akin to glints of sunlight on the surface of a large body of water or the rays of sunshine shining upon us.

Listen, sometimes we don’t have the words. The words just aren’t IN us to express our innermost feelings. And as I drive to the post office to mail my lovely and dear three young granddaughters their copy of Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection, I’ve signed and written a little sentence or mantra in each one (Thank Omniscience God) to always find joy. (I’m sooo thankful for getting this book done and for my family).
I’m crying. And I am in a stupor. I’m stupefied. Why am I crying? And then I sit here for a moment. And I realize I can’t put this sadness into words except to say, sit with it. Sit with it, Sheila, and see what you can milk out of this experience. Oh, I wish I could be there! I would love to see your faces when you open the package and Mommy sits you down and says, “Now girls–because the twins are five–these are big books; these are books for you to keep for your whole life from your Grammy; these are books you will probably cherish and adore.” (Speaking about myself in third person) Even though Grammy meditates as a Buddhist now and doesn’t want you to attach or cherish anything–of course she’s attached to you, cherishes and adores you!
We live so far away (emotions). And I ask myself, what’s stopping us from being together? In many cases, it’s because right now it is winter. It’s cold (up north) and sometimes the weather is too bad to travel. So the weather limits humans. Yes, often the weather is limiting. (sniff! emotions!) And that’s okay.
Grammy has always wanted to live in Florida! Grammy prefers the sunshine, the palm trees, and the salty air of Florida. And the older Grammy gets (speaking in the third person), the more I miss a little bit of hill country. So that’s why I’m looking forward to moving to the Ocala area somewhere in the north-central area of Florida where there are hills, but I don’t miss the mountains, not as your mommy (my daughter) did for many years. Your mommy didn’t really like Florida because she missed the mountains, but now you’re in New England. There are mountains and lots of beautiful fall foliage to look at in wonderment. And that’s a beautiful thing.
We hope that unseen viruses and silly government policies and regulations don’t prohibit our visiting. We hope our health stays good too, so we can drive to visit this spring. We love you so much, your grandpa (grampy) and me, all three of you girls! Oh, and mommy to my beautiful daughter. So yes, in the book, beautiful daughter is chapter four. And I do talk about and mention my lovely granddaughters.
So I dedicate this blog post and all my thoughts about missing you yet, being close to you in spirit. I dedicate these thoughts to these words that say eventually did come. I dedicate these words to the loves of my heart. Thank you. Thank you ALL. Much love and many blessings. May these words bring you peace, ease, and comfort, and may you find joy in everything. In ALL ways, always.

I am volunteering as a Correspondence Assistant for Dr. Raymond Moody, author of many incredible books like Life After Life and God is Bigger than the Bible.

Much Love! Let’s make 2023 our best year!
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.

Let’s all of us give our aWEsOMe performers a sunny Florida welcome! I am super excited to see them all again and meet Samadhi!
