My beach sketch; Falling Consciously Online Conference wrap up with 2 NEW SONGS; Moves Method videos are booming!

If you missed Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall “Falling Consciously” conference, then you missed my share of the two NEW SONGS! So, here’s a sneak peek. I’m still working on getting each full song on YouTube with its own video: https://youtu.be/vMYCMKNmNzk?si=ObOmNaBF3NwidhmL

I had an amazing time on the post conference wrap up (that Michael Kopf held on his channel a few days after Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall conference). I was ecstatic to be included in the lineup because I so enjoyed Daryl and Joshua’s presentations at the conference! Now, here I am speaking with Daryl James and Joshua Shapiro: https://www.youtube.com/live/0DiRaEOtxag?si=hOVkoutJ6PSJKP0o

Beach sketch

I continue, albeit slowly, to do some painted sketches of my husband’s artwork. I don’t have an art alcove like my dear soul artist friend, Linda Lewis of Creative Artworks blog… so I sit and sketch in stages in my recliner, usually while my husband is watching something on YouTube on our big screen TV. He will peek over at what I’m doing, but he’s good about waiting until I take a break to comment. And I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised that he’s so complimentary!

My husband, Richard Murrey, was a professional artist for over 40 years and an art director for a time for Sea World, Disney, and NASA, so I was kind of shy to start sketching. Thankfully, I persevered! I am now, using a smaller sketchpad, though that was my mistake when I ordered it, so I get to practice resizing each piece. Eventually, I may try my hand at sketching without using a model, or I will simply watercolor paint.

I begin with a pencil sketch, then use a marker to establish bold lines. –Richard Murrey artwork underneath, my sketch on top. –Sheila Murrey
This is how I sit to sketch; all my pens, pencils, and paints are in a rattan tote on the floor down beside my chair. My sketch is top left. –Sheila Murrey + The framed artwork on my lap. –Richard Murrey
I finished the painted sketch with oil pastels and watercolor paints. I really wanted the water to flow, but when I saw some of the black marker bleeding into the paint, I dabbed it a bit and decided to stop. Richard said he thought the bleed over was fine. I don’t know though. I must be picky. –Sheila Murrey

Moves Method

I’ve been so humbly grateful that my Moves Method short videos have been taking off! Many now have over 1,000 views, on YouTube, as well as nearly that many on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Of course, doing my own mobility training, recording some, learning how best to edit them and get them onto each of the platforms, has taken a fair amount of time, so I have not been keeping up with my reading (both blogs/books). And for that, I apologize. You know me though, I’ll spiral back around to read. And winter is coming!

I’ve got my tent sauna setup again after moving it to the other side of my upstairs spa room, so I’ll read while I’m in the sauna in the evenings. I have also been experimenting with new recipes and happy to say, I’m between 2.5 to 3 inches of waist size loss and my clothes are baggy on me now (I don’t weigh myself, so not sure how much weight I’ve lost). I am in love with the Moves Method though!

My episode on AnchorHaven’s podcast; Falling Consciously Online Conference–THIS Saturday; Moves Method–Day 23; Best snack recipe!

I had the BEST time with Julia AnchorHaven on her YouTube podcast last week! If you missed it, it’s a keeper! Check it out: https://youtu.be/hoX27eE0L8w?si=fTiMp2nJ23VSy9Qy

At this moment, my episode has 86 views, and I’m going to check it in a few days to see if we’ve grown that number… so “I’m watching YOU”! Haha!

FYI: here’s my first podcast with Julia: https://www.youtube.com/live/NkqKRieZUpA?si=Ri5UZWbQ_VKERMRs

Julia and I are both returning to contribute to Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall “Falling Consciously” conference that’s coming up THIS SATURDAY! Yes, we’re sooo excited!! I’ll be offering healing with two new songs, created especially for the Dragon Dreamers Soul Tribe! Gina has reduced ticket prices by half now, so there’s no excuse to get your ticket and join us Live on September 19th, 2026. Here’s the link to get your ticket, use SHEMUR too: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

Falling Consciously Saturday September 19th, 2026 Gina Virginia Casella Online Conference.

Be sure to order the Falling Consciously September 19th Conference ticket (as the December Conference ticket is available via that same link). Use my code at check out, SHEMUR too. Please and thank you!

Because of a last minute change in our Saturday schedule, Gina asked me if I could update the video where I share both of the new songs for the Falling Consciously conference. I did, and Richard even helped me by giving me four new/better graphic images (from AI). I had a technical glitch in the iMovie software that I use, so I had to nearly recreate the video. Whew! But it’s done and delivered to Gina as of last night.

Thus, I am SUPER EXCITED to share the songs (one minute of each) with you during the Saturday conference!! Full versions of both songs will be available at a later date on YouTube, but I really want to get your LIVE comments to the songs on Saturday! It’s going to be great fun!

Moves Method

The shoulder/arm nerve pain is GONE now, and I am sooo thankful! Yes, the situation healed, whether it was an impingement or ??? I don’t know, but I’m all better–back to NORMAL. I’ve also lost over TWO INCHES from my waist, and feeling so much stronger!

Here’s my two videos re: the Moves Method that I’ve been doing daily (yes, I was doing it even through the nerve pain I’d had–just focused on lower body moves). The first video is the work one can do BEFORE the deep squat, to strengthen the ankles.

Day 23 video #1: https://youtube.com/shorts/JZT0AI-TUZk?si=NVAlPyK_2LsADi2T

The second is of my deep squat today, while NOW attempting to rise UP onto my toes!

Day 23 video #2: https://youtube.com/shorts/NZZyC3zJBxk?si=M2GBpiZONY_FYqej

I truly hope many of my friends, family, and blog/book readers join me in the Moves Method commUnity! You won’t believe what a supportive and nurturing group of others there are, as well as the Moves Method trainers, who are always there to encourage and inspire us onward and upward! The introductory toolkit is only $27. And that’s been the best $27 I’ve probably ever spent for what I’ve gotten out of it thus far. If you know you need this, here’s the link to join: https://movesmethod.com/toolkit-ca?a=sheila1&utm_source=growi&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=the-movers&utm_term=sheila1&_atid=uIxBEoTEYWtDKXLKDBxDUFHtvCoeWQ

And yes, I get a little credit if you join, but I DO really want you there with me.

Best Snack Recipe

I don’t know how I didn’t know how much protein Greek yogurt has in it, but I didn’t know, until NOW. And though I didn’t like yogurt much, unless it was loaded with sugar (fruit), I have been making this little recipe every day for more than a week and it’s turned into my favorite of all time!

Having been someone who could live on potato chips and French onion dip… and denied myself of that deliciousness for years because “potato chips and dip are fattening,” I’m here to tell you THIS totally replaces that as a snack but gives me the SAME delightful pleasure!

  • 1/2 C organic Greek yogurt (I’m using is pictured next, Cabot Creamery)
  • 1 T onion powder (more or less to suit your taste buds–EXPERIMENT!
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1/2 T Dill weed (this makes it as far as I concerned and I probably use more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • pinch cayenne and pinch pink salt

Stir the yogurt and herbs all together well and add in slices/chunks of fresh cucumber, onion, cherry tomatoes, or any/all other veggies you like and have a go!

A thank you to Gina Virginia Casella for her Summer Daze conference; comment to Laura Eisenhower

I want to start by sincerely offering my gratitude to Gina Virginia Casella for inviting me to speak at her Dragon Dreamers Summer Daze conference on June 13th, 2026.

It’s not often that I get the opportunity to do a presentation or give a talk on a subject I love so much, the profound mysteries of the Universe/unknown (or what I call Omniscience God). Because I see myself as a bridge between heaven and earth or science and spirituality, and a child of the ever-living, ever-present, Energy that Connects All, Limitless God, Creator of All There Is, Life Force, Source, etc. etc. I can say that speaking on topics that expand our consciousness lights me up the most! And that’s what I did on June 13th, and several times since (with Julia AnchorHaven and Michael Kopf).

Now, I don’t always use the term, God, while speaking or presenting, and I heard post-conference that may have been triggering to one or more listeners. Nor do I always specifically name Christ Jesus as my Lord. Perhaps I will in future talks (in full transparency), not to “people please,” but to offer people an “out” as it is never my intention to be divisive.

I have been continuing to learn and grow mySelf and my soul, meet people where they are, and not everyone is ready to fully hear what I have to say–which is why I write. And when I see things like this, it inspires me to ponder, and then post what I’m sharing and you’re reading right here and NOW:

Screen capture of Laura Eisenhower’s recent Facebook post.
Screen capture of my comment back to Laura (it also caught a partial comment from someone else, apologies to that person for displaying her name–though that is a public forum).

I chose to participate in Gina’s conference, as well as appear on other podcasts (that most Christians would find challenging) because I feel many are still searching; if anyone is being led by the Holy Spirit to find Christ Jesus through me, I want to ensure they know I’m a believer–I never want to “deny the power thereof.” I always want to be open to the divine mysteries of Omniscience God.

Speaking of not denying God’s power, I always want to put Faith and Trust in our ever-living Source, Creator, before anything man-made. And I mean in a practical way, such as trusting God before making decisions, trusting God for mental and physical healing (above medical interventions), insurance, or anything else designed to give me “peace of mind.” My peace comes from God, not from anything else. God is bigger than anything that could ever divide us. And that’s because each of us have the fractal mark of God within us. God isn’t merely an old man in the sky waiting to punish us when we miss the mark.

God is love. A love much more vast and profound than any of us have eyes to see or ears to hear, yet. Wait.

Amen. Namaste. OM

Yesterday’s Live conversation with Michael Kopf on his YouTube channel is available!

I had the thrill of appearing Live on Michael Kopf’s YouTube channel podcast yesterday! Michael and I met through Gina Virginia Casella and the Summer Daze conference. I immediately felt Michael and I shared a connection during that conference, whether it was on a lost sibling connection (I’d even asked his birth year during that conference, but he’s too young to have been one of my mom’s lost babies). Or perhaps, we’re connected on a soul level. Not sure. I think you’ll really enjoy watching us figure out some things. Curiously, one of the people watching Live noticed and commented that Michael and I share similar facial features!

Screen capture from Michael Kopf’s YouTube channel.

Here’s the link to our podcast conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj5u2xRLVT8&t=1620s

And here are some fascinating connecting links:

Here’s some information on the house I spoke of at the beginning of our discussion where my friends bullied/dared me to go knock on the door because an supposedly old witch lived there and they just wanted to see my reaction. Well, now… that old house, Henderson Hall, is a historic site that we can TOUR! https://www.greaterparkersburg.com/henderson-hall/

I also spoke about my unborn lost siblings and referred back to this previous blog article:

I’ve got a couple of blog posts for you today. Here’s the first. I split them up only because I really wanted to draw attention to the titles. And the conference is now FREE for anyone to watch (it had been $40 to participate Live on June 13th and then $10 for a reply for a couple of weeks after). I hope you’ll appreciate that Gina’s now putting it out for free and check it out. I met all the speakers who were new to me and am now following each of them respectively on their YouTube channels. I’ll also be on Michael Kopf’s channel next week. More on that later.

Summer Daze conference and pre/post discussions were all great! And so was our vacation!

I’m behind on posting and replying to comments here, my apologies! We were busy preparing for and then taking a much needed vacation to a gorgeous lake in Maine! Just home now, I saw a note to myself that I meant to share the following:

I wasn’t going to read this blog post from a fellow author and UK friend Michael (80s Metalman) re: The World Cup at: https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com/2026/06/14/world-cup-thoughts/ because I don’t watch sports, but I am so glad I read it!

I loved Michael’s points about leaving politics out of sports AND about sportsmanship!! People definitely deserve to play sports, music, have discussions and discourse about science, spirituality, health, etc. with respect and kindness and put political ideologies aside!

As for our lake vacation in Maine, yes, we all had a great time! We loved swimming in the cool water and the opportunity to watch our granddaughters (the twins are 9) fuss over snails their dad dug up from the lake sand. We had breakfast pizza one morning from the campground store, and did a LOT of walking. We had a big dinner out one evening too. I had brought filet mignon steaks and our son-in-law grilled them for all of us adults while the girls chowed down on hamburgers and hot dogs. (They don’t like steak, so no worries.) Thus we enjoyed several cookouts complete with homemade s’mores! Everyone at the campground (we all stayed in a cabin) were so friendly too!

The most memorable moment was when I happened to be only a foot away from one of the twins when she got scared while swimming and I “rescued” her–she really wasn’t in danger though. I got to hold her for several minutes and console her and tell her about how my mom taught me how to float on my back when I was about her age. Every child should know how to float! It could save many lives! She was so scared and I told her panic is what gets people in trouble. I explained water can feel scary but it’s also very relaxing if one will allow it. I totally understood her fear but hoped my calm reassurance would help ease her fear. She didn’t want to let me out of her site the rest of that day–and THAT was precious.

Dragon Dreamers Conference

The Dragon Dreamers Summer Daze all-day Saturday conference was fantastic! I gave the keynote presentation to set the theme for the day of Interconnectedness (and spoke about my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why). I know a few people didn’t want to pay full price to hear me speak, though it was well worth it. Now, you can watch the replay for $10 Canadian. So this time, your procrastination will save you money! Ha! How’s that for a deal?

I had a great conference experience on June 13th and think you might have liked it. I have been invited on another podcast, July 8th and am now conversing with others from Ireland and the UK. It’s starting to get very exciting!!

Here’s a pre-conference video: https://www.youtube.com/live/D0gMA35Ulag?si=1rKuZJXDw9p-FL-L

New video book review and conference reminder

I’m excited to share the second video book review I’ve done, though granted, I feel I could do a better job with these. This one uses a combination of video (I’m talking while turning pages, but I couldn’t see the page very well with the phone in the way). And it finishes up with a VoiceOver of me speaking in general about specific pages. I tried to keep it short, but it still came in at around 14 minutes.

Take a look/listen and see what you think. I’m open to suggestions and advice on how to do this better. I was also limited on time this week as I’ve been rehearsing my keynote speech for Saturday’s conference.

Dragon Dreamers Conference

The Dragon Dreamers Summer Daze all-day Saturday conference is about to begin! I’m excited to speak on the topic of Interconnectedness and my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why! I realize not everyone wants to shell out $40 Canadian to hear me speak, but it’s not only ME, there are other speakers who will be presenting and you’re sure to be impressed with them–at least with some of them! I’ve listened to each of them speak in other interviews with Julia Anchor Haven and with Gina Virginia Casella and I learned a lot! I am looking forward to learning more from each of them on Saturday.

Check the link to watch/listen when I was a guest on Gina’s Story Species-Story Medicine show recently: https://www.youtube.com/live/mDHSHSmZeZU?si=5aGUoM1k939mVTGS

The new podcast interview experience was GREAT!

I had such a grand time on Julia’s Anchor Haven Debrief podcast! I met Julia via Gina Virginia Casella (see end of this article for more regarding Gina’s Dragon Dreamers conference on June 13th). And I do hope some of you can join us all day on June 13th for that. Gina and everyone on the team, as well as us presenters have been working hard to ensure everyone will gain new insights and perspectives on a range of subjects, so I think it will be worth your time and $40 to watch/listen. I know I’m excited about it!

The episode of Anchor Haven’s Debrief I was on can be found at: https://youtu.be/pBlP6SFGKWA?si=OdBt-aewcR9hBTnQ or at: https://www.youtube.com/live/qQZZBdXNYRw?si=ff3HJwmesamPb9q-

Not sure why it’s there twice, with one having 112 views as of today and the other having 41 views. The time is the same, so I believe the videos are the same, only the thumbnail is different. I’m including both links so choose whichever works for you.

New Movement – Vanja’s Moves Method

After prayer, I began seeing a LOT of video ads from a gal in Australia named, Vanja. Perhaps you’ve seen those ads too, where she squats, and hangs, does splits, and all kinds of things. She’s incredibly flexible and STRONG! Of course, she’s much younger than ME, but she says she’s taught people much older than me how to get their mobility back! Ha! I didn’t believe it at first, but after watching more and having a one hour discovery call (which I did NOT buy into their personalized training program).

I did spend $27 on Vanja’s “toolkit,” which is why they routed me to have that one hour discovery call, and that toolkit gives me the beginner movements to follow to see if I like how they train. If nothing else, I’m looking at this as a way to replace the Pilates class I used to go to when we lived in Florida. And other than buying one piece of equipment to hang on, I won’t have to make any other purchases. I’m building my belief in this because every day, I’m squatting more and for longer time (seconds still at this point), and I’ve lost an inch off my waist–in 5 DAYS! I don’t weigh myself, I measure. But when I get my blood labs done the end of June, I’m sure they will tell me how much I weigh. Ugh.

Here’s the first few video “shorts” of the training I’ve been doing:

Day 2 of squatting: https://youtube.com/shorts/er0HbE2-Rxg?si=gPiWTStX14dLmH5l

And then I progressed to: https://youtube.com/shorts/n0a84v57Dc0?si=2aOrfzwSGuByzXom

And compared to: https://youtube.com/shorts/zRk0SngiwEg?si=MKiUwNbOxcDO8Mqd

I’m really getting to the point where I look forward to hanging and squatting as soon as I wake up in the mornings! Today is Day 13 of doing the Moves Method and as I told my naturopathic doctor yesterday, I’m a believer! I feel better overall and getting a bit of zest for life back! Ha! Oh, and he found the root cause of my numb toes issue yesterday… so I can continue working on the bottom of my left foot, doing a cross-fiber massage on it while holding my toes back with the other hand! I’d never held my toes back before while massaging my feet, so there’s that. Go figure!

Video book reviews

I’m almost done creating a new video book review, part 1 for the daily devotional I’ve been reading (that was a birthday gift from my bestie since 4th grade), Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I have been getting a LOT out of it, though I am often several days behind in my reading and so the “daily” part of it has been the most challenging. This is definitely getting me into the habit of spending time with Christ Jesus every day… I believe that’s what the word, commitment is all about too! Spending the time.

Once that’s on my YouTube channel, I’ll start working on a video book review, part 1 on The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche that my Theosophy/Buddhist book club is reading and discussing. It’s DEEP and so rewarding! . Then, I’ll review Russell Brand’s new book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days. Finally, I’ll circle back around to finish up the 2nd part of my review of Jennifer Carey’s book, Illuminating the Stories that Bind Us. The link to the part 1 video book review of it is: https://youtu.be/NtHNcOlCOMY?si=7ChQiP-m-6CXrKDM I’m almost finished with Jen’s book too, and will begin putting together a video review for it in July.

Unsolicited Radio is now on Rumble!

Our Unsolicited Radio channel is still rolling along, though I have had some ridiculous arguments with YouTube, so I’ve began adding all of our videos onto Rumble! I won’t muck and mire about YouTube, but I am NOT happy with THEM! I’ve been creating a new music show daily and adding it to YouTube and Rumble. Most premiere about 11am eastern time each day. I’m not including each link below, but here’s a few to get you started and you can check out the others on your own:

Crossovers music show #1: https://youtu.be/tzc56nat5BM

Crossovers music show #2: https://youtu.be/ojn1hHglOGc

Ohno! Haha! Yes! music show is at: https://youtu.be/Qq0rRk_nGFo

Various music show: https://youtu.be/QRvNhR9wJVc

Follow me on Rumble via link at the very bottom of this article and yes, all four of these radio shows are now on Rumble. I’m working on 6 more crossover shows and a couple of pop music shows too! So very busy!

Couple sketches

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: https://creativeartworksblog.com and this is not a sketch of hers but a picture of a piece of driftwood that I thought I might be able to sketch:

Driftwood face photo – original artist unknown but found on Linda’s Creative Artworks blog.
My driftwood face sketch with markers and oil pastels on poster paper. –Sheila Murrey
This is a trinket dish I made from clay at the art studio and after it was fired once, I went back to paint it. I chose to antique it so that’s why you see more of the color in the crevices and lighter on the rest of the plate/bowl. I love how it turned out! –Sheila Murrey
And this is a flower casting made from a clay imprint I made and then poured plaster into, to turn out this casting. Unfortunately, the plaster wasn’t measured properly, so the flowers didn’t come out the way we expected. The studio has offered I come back for another class gratis. I don’t know if I will. I simply filed down the rough spots on the flowers and painted it. I probably could have done a better job of painting it, but plaster soaks up a lot of paint. –Sheila Murrey

I’m working on one now that my daughter sketched and then painted on canvas at the art studio where she works. I’ll have it ready to show in a few days, but I am busy practicing my keynote speech for Saturday’s conference, so I may not post again for a week. You know how it goes!

Here’s the link where you can grab a copy of, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I’ve now sold several copies, even one to someone in Australia! So, I’ve made $40 from Amazon. I’m still working on reformatting the book though so hopefully the paperback version will print better. I’m still aggravated with how some people’s paperback copies had blurry print, even one told me the print looked like the printer had began running out of ink! Ugh. If that happens, get your money back from Amazon. I want you to have a readable copy!

JIGGLE WIGGLE and the MOVES

Since hurting myself in January, I’ve been taking it slow like a snail on the dancing, and instead focusing on rehab exercises for strengthening the big muscle that runs from one’s back up/around the shoulder, the low back muscles that can cause sciatica pain, and the outer calf muscle in the leg that runs down and around the ankle and feeds he nerves of the toes! Thus, you’ll be seeing more Vanja Moves Method “short” videos on my channel before anymore dancing.

Currently, I’m challenging myself to use the $27 “toolkit” series of movements from Vanja for the next 4-8 weeks and take it from there. Our son-in-law just setup and put together my pull-up bar equipment I’d ordered from Walmart so I could do the hang movement properly. People were getting concerned that I was going to hurt myself more by trying to hang from the backside of a door, or from the edge of the 2nd story floor that runs above the stairwell. I know that’s hard to visualize and it was even harder to film. I have videos of all the ways I’d tried to hang around this 140-year old house. None of which were safe! So, I took it upon myself to buy a special apparatus for hanging. Hanging decompresses our backs! Who knew? Plus the granddaughters LOVE it! They want one for their room! LOL I told them they can come over any time and hang out with me. They are naturally very good at hanging and doing all kinds of gymnastics type moves on it and no one trained them! Ah, kids!

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease 
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. 
  • And to question EVERYTHING!

Here’s where you can access my YouTube channel videos: https://youtube.com/@spiralsister and I have been linking to Vanja too, in the description of my video shorts, in case you are interested in who I’m learning this stuff from re: mobility and movement to rehab my body.

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Going to be on a new podcast; plus a couple sketches and conferences

I’m going to be on a new podcast this Wednesday! I’m so excited!! I’m new to Julia and she’s new to me, having met through Gina Virginia Casella (see end of this article for more regarding her Dragon Dreamers conference on June 13th). And from what I’ve seen on Julia’s channel, I should fit right in! Ha! You’ll have to watch some and see what you think!

Julia’s based in the UK (check out her podcast at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dxSbUUxHo5XlWhf9G4ltQ

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: https://creativeartworksblog.com and this first sketch is one I liked of hers from a while back that I’ve shared a sketch of before but that I thought I could improve. So, I drew this again and colored in with the oil pastels. Now, the big difference is that there’s no line between her face and neck. LOL Yes, little things make me happy!

Next, I picked up this sketch at our local sushi mart and have no idea who drew it. But I was drawn to it and so, I took a photo of it and sketched it at home. I will show the employees at the sushi place next time we go and see if they like my version.

Attended 2-Day Better Way Conference

I’ll simply say that this entire weekend I was immersed in the Better Way Conference via a virtual ticket. The conference was held in Rhode Island and I’d learned about it via Dr. Bruce Lipton (though he was not a presenter there). People I’ve followed for YEARS were involved and the incredible information learned, both from the speakers and insights that dropped into my mind while watching and listening will become a SERIES of blog articles, so stay tuned!

Holistic health information was shared, receipts proving studies and some of the former so-called conspiracy theories were brought front and center, and ways we can ALL work to find a better way through to resolve any health issues were discussed and debated. Shocker, NOT everyone agreed on EVERYTHING either. And that’s always true when it comes to health SCIENCE, but all ideas, perspectives, and philosophies were HONORED and RESPECTED and THAT’S why I LOVED this entire two-day conference and want to be more involved for the next ones… and there will be more as they are offering a FREE franchise!

Yes, there are a couple of new video “shorts” on my channel now for JIGGLE WIGGLE, so be sure to check in there and check those out. I’m starting out S-L-O-W and incorporating the rehab exercises I’ve learned to work/stretch my back muscle (that runs from back up/around shoulder), the low back muscles that can cause sciatica pain, and the outer calf muscle in the leg that runs down and around the ankle and feeds he nerves of the toes!

Building boundaries so we don’t absorb too much, especially for empaths; plus radio shows and sketches

Empaths are sponges and until we learn that we can either build boundaries to not absorb what we don’t want, yet, OR we come to know that EVERYTHING works FOR our good, either to grow us or glow us like a slow burn candle… well then, we may FEEL too much (too much emotions), or react inappropriately and turn others off. And when we turn others off, it may take us YEARS (if ever), to reestablish those relationships–whether friend or family, such as when adult children cut off their parents because their parents have come on too strong (even if the parents think they’re good intentioned). Ah!

I’ve been learning a lot while reading all three of the following books (at the same time, I rotate them on a daily basis, and study (not simply read) them. I’ll be doing video book reviews on each of them, per my notes in the margins, and already completed one (part 1) of this one by my friend, Jennifer Carey. Here’s the link to it: https://youtu.be/NtHNcOlCOMY?si=7ChQiP-m-6CXrKDM

As well, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche, and Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I’m also reading How to Become a Christian in Seven Days by Russell Brand. It’s enlightening and entertaining as well. I’m not sure I’ll do a video book review on it though–let me know if you’d be interested in seeing that. I’m reading it on my phone at night before I sleep, so I’ve not been taking notes. (I sometimes nearly laugh out loud though! I muffle myself because if I woke Richard up with my laughing HE would NOT be amused.)

Current happenings

I’ve been continuing to see my naturopathic doctor to resolve the toe issue, or should I say, toes plural issue, but that doesn’t sound right when I say it. And I tweaked my arm the other night when I went to our eldest granddaughter’s last choir/band concert of the school year! Ugh. Why didn’t I say NO to going? Why did I change seats TWICE at her boyfriend’s request? Apparently, my daughter was right when a day previous to this experience she told Richard that I (me) just cannot say, NO! Go figure. And then the Universe proved it to me. I don’t say NO nearly often enough! Lesson learned.

And here’s the update to a video I did two months ago, but I added screen titles to illuminate my lessons learned regarding these physical issues: https://youtu.be/DGpYUK4tqKA?si=9oTUpwsIEwhCTGi6

As well, I’ve been watching several of these Gina interview shows via her “Buy Me a Coffee” portal:

Now, we’ve got three more music radio livestream shows for you to watch/listen to, if you haven’t subscribed to our Unsolicited Radio channel already:

Country music show #2: https://www.youtube.com/live/LGUBBK45lG4?si=ij0iJ5XxOIVTl39C (The link to the first country music radio show was on my last blog article.)

Rock music show #1: https://www.youtube.com/live/2E-0gl-9x7I?si=CtqOFGtcmeZR7ZNq

Blues/Reggae show #1: https://www.youtube.com/live/_wIhuVPJP-4?si=e3NfsIhrcm_I9t68

AND

Country music show #3: https://www.youtube.com/live/H9QuCVygbWo?si=n7wXukdFW37R21ia

Richard is several shows ahead of me and I am working feverishly to get all the parts and pieces together in iMovie on my now, very overworked, MacBook Air, to livestream all of these shows. Sometimes my MacBook will spontaneously shut down and reboot in the middle of a livestream and the show ends abruptly! Not good when one is trying to launch a new YouTube channel and gain subscribers! But I suppose that’s a “first world country” kind of issue that no one really wants to hear about. I might have to buy a new laptop soon…

My last sketches

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: X Yes, I continue to practice sketching. And yes, while I’m monitoring our livestreams of the radio show, that’s when I do my sketching. I can’t work on my laptop while the shows are live-streaming, so it makes sense. And I enjoy these. Richard also asked for one based on one of his artworks too, and he surprised me by using Photoshop to integrate my sketch INTO his art! Wow!

My “shrines” sketch, based on Linda Lewis’ sketch model.
And after coloring my sketch with oil pastels and black marker. I did use my laptop to show this model from Linda as I worked on it over several days. I typically use my iPhone to view the model sketches. – See Linda’s blog article: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/05/07/thursday-5-7-2026/
I’m very happy with this “shrine” sketch all colored in. Thanks so much to Linda for the original Thailand shrines sketch! See: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/05/07/thursday-5-7-2026/
A Linda Lewis original sketch from her post: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/04/29/wednesday-4-29-2026/
My copy or version of Linda’s cowgirl hat sketch. That white spot within the green thing is supposed to be her right hand. I know. I’m not good with hands. But I’m learning. I nearly didn’t leave room for her feet either! LOL I did enjoy trying to do this sketch though, and Linda always tells me that’s what is important.
Richard gave me one of his wolf art prints and asked me to “draw it like a child would.” Well, THAT was easy. Ha! LOL! (because I do draw like a child!) This is what I gave him.
Richard incorporated my wolf sketch INTO his wolf artwork! Ha! I think he’d had someone complain about his original wolf looking too much like their photographer’s work, so he removed the offending wolf, but I’m probably not supposed to talk about that story… so shhhhh! Haha!

Now, whew! How’s THAT for balancing perspectives?!?

I have restarted JIGGLE WIGGLE!

Yes, there are a couple of new video “shorts” on my channel now for JIGGLE WIGGLE, so be sure to check in there and check those out. I’m starting out S-L-O-W and incorporating the rehab exercises I’ve learned to work/stretch my back muscle (that runs from back up/around shoulder), the low back muscles that can cause sciatica pain, and the outer calf muscle in the leg that runs down and around the ankle and feeds he nerves of the toes!

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease 
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. 
  • And to question EVERYTHING!

Here’s where you can access my YouTube channel videos: https://youtube.com/@spiralsister

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Our NEW music radio show: Unsolicited Radio

Our NEW YouTube channel where you can see/listen to our music radio show, “Unsolicited Radio” (showcasing Richard’s original songs) is GROWING! We’ve got more than 60 subscribers now! We’re reaching for 500 subscribers so… help us out! Okay?

We’ve put a list of our original songs together in a format that marries the songs with some of Richard’s humorous (quirky, wacky, zany) ads in between a few songs to break it up! Don’t worry, the ads are for fictitious items. We’re not selling anything, yet, by doing these radio shows (other than the songs). It’s our way to help get the songs out to more people, and perhaps, even the “right” people, such as filmmakers, TV show producers, sound engineers, up and coming musical artists who are looking for original songs to sing/play, etc. We’ve never sought the limelight to be performers, simply songwriters.

I hope you’ll subscribe to our new channel and help us go viral! It’s FREE! And it means the world to us to get our 1,434 original songs out into the world! Thank you ALL so much! I’m excited about this!! Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/@Unsolicited_Radio

Our FIRST livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/DqyE9js0Fnc?si=WB-9a61B9Srefk0l

I’m working through my self assessed peeved energy. And I know that’s what caused me to wake up at 1:30am last night due to a nightmare. (I dreamt I got hacked and lost all the money in my accounts!) Ugh! Nightmares can be terrifying! I’ve simply had so much going on with the need to rehab my body–okay, thankfully only a few parts, and Amazon printing issues with the 600+ page paperback. The YouTube copyright issues. Even the art cast not turning out the way I’d worked so hard on to make my first attempt at that be pretty! Why did I have such high expectations? Whew! See? I’m working my Integrating the Spirals process, so I can let this “peeved-ness” go!

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Integrating the Spirals: Self assessment and upcoming book reviews

I had a bad night last night. Wait. Let me reframe that. I had a restless night last night. I woke up about 1:30am after not going to sleep until around 11pm.

We’d had a fun evening out with our daughter and son-in-law, which is rare for us because they have a 14-year old and 9-year old twins. But I do think we’ll get out a bit more often because the girls all get along well and the eldest doesn’t have to do much for the twins–as long as they’ve all eaten something first. LOL

So the four of us adults walked two blocks to our neighborhood Italian restaurant (if you follow me on Yelp and read my food reviews there, you’ll know where we eat). We had drinks and delicious food and lots of lively conversation! Then we all walked home. Yes, we WALKED, not crawled. So, there’s that. None of us over imbibe, which is a good thing. Now that our daughter and son-in-law are in their 40s, they’ve learned, as we did years ago, that drinking to the point of crawling home (or to a hotel), or needing to sleep on the bathroom floor, isn’t fun. And it isn’t healthy. Of course I know many of you would say no amount of alcohol is healthy either, and you’d probably be right–though Guinness beer has been brewed since 1759. And no, I didn’t drink Guinness beer last night, I got a rather mild “mule” cocktail in a copper cup (a favorite drink to get “out” since I’m still debating buying some old copper mugs at our local consignment shop). I digress.

A lot of my herbal tinctures are made with alcohol, so again, I default to my saying of “levels, layers, doses, and degrees.” And a splash of cold water on the face, or turning the water on COLD at the end of a shower is sooo invigorating–and healthy! But that makes me think of my holistic health book, and not the point of this blog article.

So, what is the point of this blog article?

Book review videos

In the middle of the night, while praying, and shedding some tears over several poignant memories I had of visits with my mom and dad (before their passing), and then reminding myself that I know where they are as explained in my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection.

After the tears passed, I went into meditation and BOOM! A great idea dropped IN! I am reading multiple books and just did that video about the art class… soooo… I’m going to start doing book reviews on VIDEO! Ha! Here’s a taste of what I’m going to put out: https://youtu.be/-H3YrlxZN7U

Exercising

I also decided that exercising first thing in the morning, like my friend Linda Lewis does, is NON-FREAKING-NEGOTIABLE! Today is the third day that I’ve exercised with Dr. Kristie Ennis (who is local to us, but she only offers Zoom classes). And she’s on YouTube – here’s her link: https://www.youtube.com/c/kristieennis I put one or two of her videos on and workout. Tada!

I just must do this as soon as I wake up, either in bed or next to the bed, or it’s not going to happen. Then, I can add some more movement like the JIGGLE WIGGLE later on and record it for my channel, etc. after I get the back/shoulder/toes in good shape again, as every time I’ve tried lately to do that again, I’ve hurt again. Ugh!

Upcoming metaphysical conference

Grab a ticket if you want to see my keynote speech and full day of metaphysical speakers on Gina’s upcoming Dragon Dreamers June 13th full-day conference. Here’s the link for that: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

To get to know Gina first, before you commit to a conference ticket, check out her YouTube channel interviews. Of those, I highly recommend her interview with Missy Hill #17 at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUexA69x4O0 and the interview with ME, Sheila Murrey #18: https://www.youtube.com/live/mDHSHSmZeZU?si=vpFP9tL-7mnW-fw3

While listening a second time to Missy’s interview with Gina, I left the following comment:

“Epigenetics matters” is sooo tweet able, Gina! Yes! Empaths are sponges and until we learn that we can either build boundaries to not absorb what we don’t want, yet, OR we come to know that EVERYTHING works FOR our good, either to grow us or glow us like a slow burn candle… well then, we may FEEL too much (too much emotions), or react inappropriately and turn others off. And when we turn others off, it may take us YEARS (if ever), to reestablish those relationships–whether friend or family, such as when adult children cut off their parents because their parents have come on too strong (even if the parents think they’re good intentioned). Ah! There’s so much great stuff here! And Missy, I was certainly a “run-on sentence writer” when I was in school. I also tend to talk too much and over share. But I’ve come to embrace it, and breathe through some of it after realizing “We each learn at differing rates of speed.” I love your self assessment too, Missy, on how good of a singer you are–though you’re probably better than you think! Remember even the pros have people talking over them when they sing! I’ve noticed this in small and large venues. I could talk for hours with you on the moon landings too (having worked at Kennedy Space Center for 6.5 years! Ha! Love this conversation and I get more out of each listen! Kudos to you both!

She even gets into talking about her time out west, Joseph Smith Jr. ghost stories, the Biltmore mansion and hurricane Helene and how it changed the landscape of Asheville, NC and PLASMA! I definitely want to hear more, or even have a conversation or two with Missy Hill!

Our FIRST livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/DqyE9js0Fnc?si=WB-9a61B9Srefk0l

I’ll attempt another livestream at 3pm eastern time TODAY! So, go ahead and subscribe and YouTube will notify you a few minutes before the show goes LIVE. If for any reason it doesn’t work, I’ll try again around 6pm. I think both of those are good hours to livestream, so if today doesn’t go smoothly, I’ll try again tomorrow and each day thereafter. Deal?
