It’s April 10th, 2024; Here’s an original country love song. It’s one of my favorite songs of ours. We rehearsed this a lot many years ago, so I carry the lyrics deep within my heart and mind. It ain’t much but an I love and I can’t go through life without kissing your sweet face. Ah!
Loving them every day
Here’s the one-hundred-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently offer one of our original songs for your enjoyment. This song is a melodic love song that grooves along with its slow-tempo beat.
Love runs deep
I’ve written a bit before a bit of love and relationship advice. And it’s funny. The more I try and simplify things invariably someone will ask for more details. My mind loves to distill complex ideas down though.
I’ve told you that ‘Love is eternal.’ Love is a phenomenon that science has yet to figure out. And the power of love bonds people together. Could it be that we carry love forward in our souls as we traverse the Universe, living life after life? It certainly feels to me that love binds and frees at the same time. Being in love is such a high. Conversely, when a loved one leaves this physical plane, we can feel so low when we miss them being in our physical reality–whether they move on or are taken by death.
Here’s a recent comment I wrote in response to someone’s post about love and romance:
Screen capture: “AbSOULutely it’s ‘more than just romanticism and sex, it’s two people who stand beside one another, who are committed to one another… through all the good and bad that life throws at you.’ Hollywood sold us a bunch of BS programming beginning in the 1950s about the romance and Happy Ever After. Marriage and love is work, even if the work is simply making the choice to stay in love.” –Sheila Murrey
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time.
May we all soar in ’24! Here’s to soaring, loving-all-around, and living FREE!
Yours in expanding, loving-wildly, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

It’s February 15th, 2024; This original is a song all about me! Haha! Blushing here. Oh, my goodness! Yes, this is one of several songs my husband wrote for me, and strongly hints at my name in the title and chorus. What a follow-up to Valentine’s Day, eh? There’s the expert saxophone of John Heinrich, vocals by our wonderful Bubba Hudson, and a vibrant production mix by Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN.
A snappy jazzy song
Here’s the forty-sixth new music post for 2024, as we carry on consistently with our one-a-day song share for the year. Let us know what you think about this snappy tune! It’s got a powerful sax riff in the bridge and an uptempo beat for dancing–one of my favorite things to do!
Ooh-la-la, yes!
What is ooh-la-la anyway? Haha! I think it’s nearly inexplicable. Much like how Richard and I met after both of us had nearly given up on love.
Cupid worked up a great romance of nearly twenty years for us though! Yes, this is a love song for sure. Am I lucky or what?
Whether you’re single or in a relationship, we hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day everyone!
As for our Valentine’s Day, I bought my own chocolates (some small batch chocolates with caramel and sea salt that was at the cashier stand at Publix–which I almost never impulse buy at the checkout) and I had previously ordered but hadn’t eaten yet, freeze-dried strawberries dipped in chocolate from Kroger. For dinner, I fried up some fresh catfish for Richard. I had a few bites to taste it and make sure it was done though. The fish was good, but I’m not a catfish fan. I made a little Indian meal of lamb saag for myself with some naan bread. (We have both really been into the naan bread recently.) So, we had a simple, but lovely day as we both allowed our bodies to heal from the crud that’s been going around. Cough-cough! UGH
Speaking of strawberries, this was us back in 2017 at the big Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. We’d gotten into the concert area early so I got a selfie pic of us with no one behind us. I think this was the last big concert we attended. I wrote yesterday of the Live performances we saw in 2019 when we went to Ireland, England, and Scotland on our Sacred Celtic Journey, but failed to mention that on our last day in Edinburgh, a jazz festival was going on (at the Grass Market where we’d stayed). We thoroughly enjoyed that as well. I must find some of those pictures to share!

It’s January 22nd, 2024; This original country song asks several questions. Why can’t I love you if he won’t? Does he really care for you or pretend? Does he light the passion in your soul? The man in the story is asking a woman he’s interested in, that if she’s not happy would she consider him.
A different angle on this love song
Here’s the twenty-second new music post for 2024, as I continue presenting one of our original songs each day this year. The story is asking if the woman is with the man because of a promise that was made, but if the fire’s gone out of their love, he’s letting her that he’s interested in loving her.
Loving from afar
This song is about something many of us have experienced–love from afar. We witness someone neglect or mistreat another and we imagine how we’d care for (or love) that person better. We may ask the same or similar questions as the protagonist in the song.
Why Can’t I Love You If He Won’t. Original country song by Richard Murrey
He wants to rescue her and perhaps offer her another option. He’s pretty sure she’s not happy with who she’s with.
Story songs
As I dig deeper into Richard’s treasure trove of original songs, I find that a good many are story songs. At least, that’s the term I’ve come up with to explain them. Most of his earlier songs are classified as Country Music. I get that not everyone enjoys Country Music and thus, if someone likes the lyrics and melody, it can be done in another style. I’ve noticed a lot of artists rework prior hit songs in other musical styles because they love the song. A great song can become a hit in multiple genres.
All the songs I’m sharing are radio-ready, sung by pro singers, and recorded by top music studios in Nashville, TN. We are songwriters currently based in Ocala, Florida. Scroll down for the Vimeo link, in the About Us section, if you’d like to see us perform one of our original songs.

It’s January 21st, 2024; This original soft country song is about dreaming. Where do your dreams take you? Do you go back to past loves? Do you visit other places? The singer is asking her love if they’re dreaming of another love interest.
A different kind of love song
Here’s the twenty-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently extend to you one of our original songs each day this year. This might be a love song or a vision of a love that is only dreamed of.
Dreams and fantasies
This song asks us to consider our dreams and fantasies. Was she just a twinkle in your eye or is her dream sleeping next to me? She’s heard her love call out another name and this sparks the whole purpose and foundation of the lyrics. Thoughts are deeds in the metaphysical space if you follow biblical or the ‘thoughts become things’ philosophies.
She asks her love to lie down with her in the dream. She wants to be her love’s fantasy.
Unless we control our dreams, say learning about Lucid Dreams, where we can assert some level of awareness within such dreams, how could our love judge us on the words we whisper aloud while we’re dreaming?
AI artwork posted on Facebook by Michelle Price of Healing World. I love the big S and yin and yang within this dreamy AI artwork. And no, I don’t really love or support AI for multiple reasons.
Thought control
As I ponder this AI art some more, along with the song, I ask myself, “How much of my thoughts can I control”? I know it’s a goal of meditation to observe my thoughts but control? I do gently guide my thoughts to a better feeling place when I become aware of worry, concern, and unwanted, or negative thoughts. I did not seek to literally control my thoughts though.
I love that Richard wrote this song years ago when he pursued this subject matter. It is fascinating to ponder. Ironically, I do talk in my sleep, though this has become less as I’ve grown older. Maybe meditation and letting go of past hurts have also helped me talk less in my sleep. Now, if I could simply talk less in life. Ha!
May we all soar in ’24!

It’s January 17th, 2024; This original song is a different kind of love song, perhaps it is a song about being jilted. Do you think ALL or most people live lives only to love and be loved? Or do you feel there are more undesirable, fake, cheaters in the world? Maybe those people have turned stone-cold toward the world.
A country song about a woman who has turned stone cold
Here’s the seventeenth new music post for 2024 as I consistently offer our original songs to everyone. This is a love story where one person has been jilted (he still burns hot for her) or maybe, they’re still together but she’s gone stone-cold (with a cold heart). I think they’re together but she’s a cold fish. She’s fallen out of love with him or has no love left for him. Let me know what you think.
Have you ever loved someone who had a stone cold heart?
Have you burned hot with love for someone but they didn’t love you back in the same way? Perhaps you felt they had a stone-cold heart. I think I’ve been in that situation before, but who can really know? Well, we know by their actions though, right?
A loving heart offers kind and gentle words
I bought several of these stuffed animals for our three young granddaughters a couple of years ago for Christmas. And I watch a lot of Justin’s mental health videos on Facebook. (You can too, just find and follow Chaos & Kindness. There’s about 66k members currently.)
I’m not saying you can win someone’s love by buying them things, but I am saying this was a gesture (on my part) to show our granddaughters how much we love them, as we support a small business that’s local to them (they live far from us). They can snuggle with these bears (or the other stuffed animals and dolls we’ve given them over the years) when we’re not there and think of us. Aww! A loving heart offers expressions of love to others–it’s the thought that counts.
I have had experiences when someone has mistreated me. And when I study the holy scriptures to figure out why, and to forgive them and “let it go,” I find that a loving heart produces kind and gentle words. So, I think the man in the song is living with a mean-spirited woman, perhaps one who has let the world turn her heart stone cold.
I love supporting those who are gentle, kind, and loving. I will put out all the kindness I have in my heart towards others, but if I am consistently hurt or ignored, I have learned to leave them be (leave them alone). I don’t need to keep rattling a snake until it bites me! Haha! Oh, yes, I have learned! If someone snaps once or twice, okay, but consistent bad behavior, wrong-doing, or inflicting intentional hurt is NOT going to win over my affections! I bet most of us feel the same unless you are the kind of person who desires to be hurt or abused (and it’s hard for me to imagine many people like that).
Treat yourself well. Show others that you respect yourself and expect them to treat you accordingly. Do not allow anyone to mistreat or abuse you. You can choose self-respect! The more often you respect yourself watch and see how the world begins to respond better to you.
May we all soar in ’24!

It’s January 16th, 2024; This original song is of a type that I haven’t yet shared for this year, a duet! Have you noticed people don’t tend to record duets anymore? Or, maybe you know one? If so, please share it in the comments. Maybe (in the cosmic scheme of things) duets are less common in this current timeline where we are attempting to unify and release duality?
A country duet love song
Here’s the sixteenth new music post for 2024 as I consistently present our original songs to ALL. This is a love story about a couple who meet in a bar.
Have you met someone at a bar?
Have you met anyone in a bar, whether you met online and then at the bar in person (because it’s a public place), or simply noticed them by happenstance? Or maybe you prefer meeting at restaurants or coffee shops.
First meeting songs
Perhaps this is a specific kind of love song. In fact, I think it’s a precursor to our song, Wonderin‘. That thought just occurred to me this morning when I listened to this again.
Paul’s Smokehouse, Titusville, FL (now, Shiloh’s)
I have met people by happenstance in a bar and so have both of my adult children. I can’t say that ever works out well. But meeting online and getting to know someone well first, then meeting in person, well, that happened with Richard and I. We met at a restaurant bar called, Paul’s Smokehouse in Titusville, Florida (when we met for the first time in person, after talking online and via phone for months). And we’ve known each other well over 20 years now–married for almost 19 of those years!
A good “soulie sister” friend of mine called me yesterday and I relived some of my single years while discussing her search for her forever ‘soulmate’ love. I told her I’d made a list and then quit looking. Richard actually found me! Yes, I put my list and a few modest pictures of me on a dating site back then, but only to get a couple of girlfriends off my back about it, because before then, online dating had NOT worked out for me–guys ‘only wanted one thing’ so to speak. So, I put myself out there in the cyberland again, but had totally let go of the outcome. Only three men wrote to me from that site and Richard was one of them. That’s how limiting and blunt my ‘list to the Universe’ was! LOL And yes, Richard checked off all the boxes, even though a few were not in the way I’d expected. But it worked! God (or the Universe) gave me all I had dreamed of in a man and love relationship with Richard. Aww. Wink!
The biggest lesson I learned in that experience was to LET GO OF THE OUTCOME. I let go of the ‘neediness’ to find someone. I lived my life for myself, my work, my dogs (at the time I had two shih-tzu’s–I’ve written about them years ago, as well as a eulogy for, our Beau), and to buy a house as an investment since I was traveling for work at that time. And that was my advice to her. Focus on improving herself. Work. Pay off bills. Buy what you need for yourself and your future. Put your desire for a soulmate out to the Universe and let them find you–no rush! You’ve got to drop the neediness. When you see other couples around you, give thanks to the Universe for THEIR happiness, without any thought of “Where’s mine”? Yours will come when and how you least expect it.
May we all soar in ’24!

It’s January 15th, 2024; This original song, when I dream, takes a happy little guitar and lyrical stroll (alongside a sweet saxophone melody too) and offers us respite from the everyday. It lays out a wonderful place and dreamy space for us to relax, unwind, and love a special someone. It’s so beautiful when I dream and life is always good.
A pop song
Here’s the fifteenth new music post for 2024 as I aim to consistently offer our original songs to the public. This is a story of a man in love with a woman, from spending hours touching her face, dreaming perhaps, but enjoying the wonders of her. No fears chasing him, no drive for riches, but dreaming of a place to simply BE. When he dreams he commands space and time.
Have you been in love? Did it feel like a dream?
The gentleman in the song sings about his beloved, whether she’s real or someone he’s dreaming of, and his feelings of enjoying being in this state with her. A state of bliss. He sings of the luscious wonder of her. Have you been in love? Did it feel like a dream? That’s been my experience. It’s almost like an out-of-body experience at the height of blissful love.
Dreamy songs
I think dreamy songs can settle us and put our minds at ease. In fact, last night my cousin’s wife reached out to me with a poem my cousin wrote to her about the very state of loving bliss this song describes. We’re going to work on getting some music together and work out the phrasing to record a song just for her. She’s not sure she will want it to go public, as the poem is very intimate to her–not that it gives away specific details other than their length of time together, but it is their unique love story, thus we will honor both of them by keeping it under wraps.
The best gifts are the ones you don’t expect. –Sheila Murrey
I never thought about offering to take loved ones’ poems and turning them into songs, but now that I am retired and we have more time, we’re going to do it this once and see how it goes. If anyone is thinking about having a song commissioned, let me know in the comments or write to me at my email found later in this article. I love that we have the time and ability to do this and bring comfort to others.
May we all soar in ’24!

It’s January 11th, 2024; For many reasons, I’ve been reflecting on the past and my ancestors these last few days.
Yesterday, I gave thanks to my parents and grandparents for being born and getting the opportunity to LIVE this fascinating life! One of my uncles passed away on Jan. 9th in the evening. We weren’t close, but I feel for my three cousins who’ve ‘lost’ their dad (in this life).
I also just signed up for a new ladies’ circle for the year (with Gloria Grace Rand–I’ll link later to this), because of the kinship I feel with her and to honor all of the business support she has provided us in her book and podcast! I wanted to join her Zoom calls last year, but they were for entrepreneurs and done on a weekday from 11:30 am-1:pm; I was “always working” though, and instead of prioritizing it, I deferred until I retired. So, yes, I treated myself (her Richard gifted me, whichever way we want to look at it), with a one-year subscription to her circle.
A song about reflecting
Here’s the eleventh new music post for 2024 as I consistently share our original songs. This is a song about a man who was friends with a woman, and probably hoping for something more, but she was in love with another and ended the friendship to pursue the other man. The other man passed away but she was still lost in the “what could have beens” and thus, no other relationship would do.
Honoring past relationships
I think it’s fine to honor our past relationships for helping us learn lessons and help us become the people we are today. But ruminating or wishing we could have a do-over isn’t so good (IMHO). I know some people who have rekindled their previous relationships, even remarried, and a few have gone to live happier the second time around. But there are probably just as many maybe more who weren’t happy the second time around and split again (which is what happened to me with my second ex-husband–gasp–even after he’d fired a gun in my direction! What an idiot I was at that time to EVER go back to him. UGH!). And no, I am hardly ever triggered (yes, I know, there’s that word), when I think or speak of that relationship because it really taught me a hell-of-a-lot, and that I could honestly rely on myself and God to get me (and my children) through anything!
What past experiences do you ruminate on or cherish?
I love this memory (referring to the photo). When you have wonderful memories, do some reflecting on those too! Maybe ruminate on the times you treated yourself to something you felt was extravagant, like that vacation your soul yearns to take, meeting a relative you’ve never met, or whatever! Maybe this is something you perceive as being out of your grasp–like my desire to go to Arkansas and dig for diamonds in the dirt! Haha! It’s high on my list of things to do this Spring.
I had such life-enhancing experiences on the Sacred Celtic Journey that Richard and I took to Ireland, England, and Scotland in 2019 that I reminisce about it often. And though he “just went for me” he’s always remarked how glad he was that he went too! My Integrating the Spirals course was born from the insights I received from God, the Universe, my Higher Self, ancestors, and ALL whilst on that trip (18 days in total with a second return trip for Winter Solstice at Newgrange in County Meath again in December of 2019)!
In 2019, Richard took the picture. Patricia McGivern always posts it on Facebook for my birthday! Our Sacred Celtic Journey meant so much to us!

It’s January 10th, 2024; We’re celebrating my birthday and I have a couple of songs for you! the first song, Wonderin‘, was supposed to be included in one of the episodes of the TV show, Ozark. This is the first song Richard and I wrote together (he wrote the music and I wrote the lyrics) when we were dating long distance over 20 years ago! I was in a travel trailer out in Missouri and he was working at the Space Center in Florida. We’d never had a physical date at this point, hence all the wondering I’d been doing. But my daughter said I was already in love with Richard before we even had our first in-person date! Haha!
The second song, Madly in love, is one of several he’s written for me, with loads of photos of me throughout the years (and yes, some that were taken long before we met that he’s always loved). Eye-feasting or whatever! Ha!
Love this ‘new love’ song – Wonderin’
Here’s the tenth new music post for 2024 as I consistently present our original songs.
This is video #1 of Wonderin’ – Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.
Our original love song, Wonderin’. I think it would have been sooo good for Laura Linney to sing on Ozark! This is video #2 of Wonderin’ – Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.
This is video #3 of Wonderin’. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey.

Loving relationships
As I explained yesterday, I am Richard’s third wife and he’s my third husband. When I introduced Richard to my parents my mom shrieked, “He’s been married twice before?” And then I calmly told her, “So have I.” Ha! That stopped the judgment right in its tracks. Mom never said any more about it, nor did my dad. They loved Richard though and now, all I choose to dwell on were the words mom said to Richard just prior to her going into her final years of Alzheimer’s disease, “Take care of my baby.” And he has. In turn, I am doing my best for him post-stroke. Just because the body breaks down in later years is no reason for the romance to end, even if all you can do is hug, kiss, and hold hands! We feel that is vitally important too!
Speaking of mom and dad
Even years before my mom passed, my dad would be the first to call me on my birthday and sing, Happy Birthday, to me–and if I didn’t answer the phone, he’d sing it on voicemail. And yes, I still have one of those recordings. I loved my dad’s voice (well, mom’s too, but sadly I don’t have much of mom on those voicemail recordings).
So THIS happened today and I call it my little Wink from the Universe, or in this case of synchronicity, Wink from my dad (he passed in 2019, mom in 2017 their eulogies are linked).
A cool thing that happened this morning, even if it was a scam/spam call.Sheila on her birthday – Happy 62!In 2019, Richard took the picture. Patricia McGivern always posts it on Facebook for my birthday! We enjoyed our life-enhancing Sacred Celtic Journey so much!
Cake! Cake! We love the cake! Haha!
I’m having so much fun today, and writing this blog article is part of it. We walked to our local diner for breakfast and then to the grocery store to pick up my free birthday cake. If you are near a Publix store, they will gift you a cake or ice cream on your birthday if you sign up for their loyalty program, which I highly recommend. I’ve been getting their delicious carrot cake every year on my birthday for the last several years.

We don’t eat dessert often, but when we do, we go for the good stuff! And I had to quote one of our favorite lines from the TV show, Little Britain. Always seek to live IN Joy with no guilt or regrets.

It’s January 9th, 2024; I’m glad we had fun yesterday as today’s song is all about a woman choosing to leave her relationship and then questioning it, perhaps with regret and guilt–at least it sounds that way to me. What do you think?
Leaving someone you love
What happens when we leave someone we love? Do we tend to look back and ask why? Do we wonder what we did that for? That’s the timeless question expressed in this song. It’s a twist on the old ‘love lost’ or “love ’em and leave ’em” situation with this woman having regrets over leaving.
Here’s the ninth new music post for 2024 as I consistently offer up our originals (music and lyrics by my loving guitarist/bassist and songwriter husband, Richard).
What for – a different kind of love song, by Richard Murrey
Romantic relationships
I’m Richard’s third wife and he’s my third husband. Richard’s first marriage lasted 16 years and she went on to marry and have children. My first marriage lasted about 7 years (but I knew it wasn’t “good” after the first year–it just took many years for it to end). My two children were the best outcome of that relationship.
I’m telling you this because Richard and I know a LOT about romantic relationships! And how to have a great one! Above all, we respect each other, our beliefs, and our diverse interests. We support each other’s growth too.
Keep your love alive
Richard and I have been married for almost 19 years and have learned from our previous relationships what it takes to stay ‘in love’ every day! We dated for a year and lived together for a year, so after 21 years we know how much kindness and compassion mean to a relationship. We’ve yet to have one argument. Yes, we disagree on some things now and then (but rarely), and we have learned how to give ‘Time’ time and allow each of us the space to breathe, think, and reconsider what’s most important. Perhaps that comes with maturity and keeping a ‘cool head.’ Or perhaps we just appreciate being ‘in love’ more than whatever we might disagree on. We almost never disagree on anything important.
When issues arise it’s because one of us is tired, hungry, emotional over something else, etc. And each of us knows our relationship is what matters most. If one of us feels very strongly about an issue or choice to be made, we sit quietly or do something else for a while until we calm and resolve our own emotions. We take ownership of our own emotional state, underlying programming and conditioning, past experiences, and so on, and don’t “take it out on” the other.
