Integrating the Spirals: NEW Drawing with oil pastels!

I got aggravated with my fountain pen the other day and jumped on Amazon to order some oil pastels and sketch pad to continue drawing and sketching without the mess of a pen that leaks ink all over my hand. And yes, I probably did something wrong with the pen that caused it, but for less than $20 I have easier tools to work with. Thus, I’ll probably sketch MORE! And isn’t that what we want? More doing and less aggravation? Yes!

My friend, Linda Lewis from Arkansas, who now lives in Thailand got me started drawing/sketching) as a new hobby, and I’m really enjoying it! See Linda’s painted sketches over at her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com

Last fountain pen sketch (using one of Linda’s sketches as a model); my husband really liked this even though I messed up on it a bit (line from neck to chest didn’t connect). –Sheila Murrey

Here’s a few of my oil pastel drawings:

Sketch of the girl (Linda’s model I sketched with fountain pen earlier); I’m not very happy with it, but this is from memory using the oil pastels. I will improve! –Sheila Murrey

I’ll post another update on Tuesday or Wednesday to let you know what the chiropractor says about my two toes. I continue to do fascia blasting, and massage with essential oil (Balance from DoTerra), as well as use acupressure and red light therapy on it, and a bit of feeling is coming back. I also do heel raises (sometimes called, toe raises or ankle raises), and that may be helping as well.

That’s what I teach in Integrating the Spirals. Use what you know, and integrate the various techniques into your day. I think it’s easy, but some people need to talk this stuff through, and that’s why I offer Zoom sessions. More to come on that, but if you’d like to begin right away, let me know in the comments.

Integrating the Spirals – JIGGLE WIGGLE

I’ve rebranded JIGGLE BUTT to JIGGLE WIGGLE per one of my followers comment!

I’m now encouraging those “over 50” to open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease, loosen up and move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!

‘Thrive in 25’ – Exploring Calligraphy

It snowed again yesterday, so I found some examples of calligraphy I wanted to try with the new fountain pen I bought for myself for Christmas. Yes, I am a slow starter, though I was excited about it when I purchased it. But I have had renewed interest in this art form for several months thanks to a fellow blogger.

A few examples

These are from the beginning, just after filling my fountain pen with ink:

Thank you to Gray Summers for the inspiration!

My husband decided to delete his art and music website

So, if you got multiple notifications, I apologize. I felt the need to remove the link to his website from many of my former blog articles.

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with 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 THRIVE in ’25!

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