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!

Below the line

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 to save a bit and funnel a bit to me too. Please and thank you!

I’ve completed the video where I share both of the new songs for our Falling Consciously conference and am really excited to share those! I’ve also created two new videos of both songs for later release on YouTube, but I really want to get LIVE reactions to the songs. I think that would be great fun!

News and new links

I’ve been busy updating links (both at the end of this article and on the WordPress menu of this site). Since taking on the role of ‘promoter’ for the Moves Method (along with a few hundred others), I’ve been quite busy for a couple hours each day, both doing my own mobility training, recording it, and then creating promo videos to share on Instagram and TikTok. I also share these videos to Facebook and my YouTube channel. I will be paid a commission based on views, likes, if a video goes viral, and any sales made via my link, and so far, I’m exciting watching the stats grow! I can’t tell you how MOTIVATING this has all been! Especially getting to be creative with Instagram and TikTok, learning Edits, Canva, and other such creative tools to craft professional videos for the Moves Method.

I’m continuing heal the nerve pain I’ve been experiencing for the last few weeks. I’m continuing to use my shiatsu massage pillow, though I’ve not felt any more release from the nerve impingement. And I did get another neck massage pillow and I’m not sure I like the way it provides massage (and it’s loud), but I love the actual pillow part of it and could sleep on it if needed, without the massage on–plus it offers heat and cold settings, which really work!

The shoulder/arm nerve pain is nearly gone now, and I am sooo thankful! The nerve tonic from Florida helped, though it did not relieve the nerve pain as quickly or as obviously as the first formulation had. Christina actually added to her formula (St. John’s Wort was added and a few other things) this time for me, but it was more expensive too. I’m not taking as much of it this time as I did the first time. Call me frugal. The DMSO gel was a disappointment–it didn’t really do much and smelled bad. But I used it daily for several days just to “try anything.” I do believe the Kailo, a reusable plastic pain relief patch has helped a lot! Initially, I got about 50% relief while wearing the Kailo and I continue to use it though I’m at nearly 90% relief. I’m sleeping all night now, finally! As we know sleep is necessary for healing. Thus, all the way around, I am feeling better! And I am down almost two inches on my waist from when I began doing the Moves Method mobility training. And THAT’S EXCITING!

Moves Method

Here’s yesterday’s long form video (7 minutes) that I made in Canva explaining why I’m addicted to the Moves Method (and how it’s been helping me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ANU0pFeRq8

I’ve completed the Barn sketch!

I have completed my most ambitious sketch yet! It is of my husband’s old pen and ink barn artwork. I must correct my previous post about it though. I’d thought it was of a barn that had been on his parent’s farm, but Richard said it was Mr. Hampton’s barn — near Richard’s old home place. Good enough.

The girls all went back to school this Monday, and one of the back yard trees has already started to get golden leaves, so summer is over I guess. Shoot. I didn’t get to do near enough outside this summer. At least, the ground is still warm enough I can get my bare feet on the grass. I’ve been doing some of my Moves Method videos out in the back yard and THAT feels great, so I’ve gotta simply BE happy with that, and enjoy the quiet of Fall and Winter here in New England.

The old barn

I enjoyed this, though it took me several days. Granted, I was in nerve pain through it all, so there’s that. I had NO IDEA how this would turn out, or even IF it would turn out!

Barn sketch progress. Going over the light brown pencil with black marker. –Sheila Murrey
Barn sketch progress 2.0 here. You can still see the light brown pencil. Richard began complimenting me at this point. –Sheila Murrey
Completed sketch of the barn. Richard’s art (left) and my version (right). I did stop short of filling in all the grass in the foreground, as it would take up too much of my marker ink. And I thought that using a black oil pastel would detract from it overall. –Sheila Murrey
Completed sketch of the barn. Richard has complimented me many times on this. He really liked how the stacks of wood turned out on the little wagon! I can’t begin to describe how that feels. He thought me leaving the grass out makes it look more like snow in the foreground. Maybe! –Sheila Murrey

Moves Method

My new venture, mobility training with Moves Method is going well. I’ve had over a thousand views on some of the shorts for it via my YouTube channel and the TikTok shorts are gaining a lot of attention too –here’s the most recent short: https://youtube.com/shorts/vtTQnmG6ptk?si=7yEnouTEOu3XRJcS I’ve figured out a pretty good way to create a short ONCE on TikTok (even using “creator” type templates, then simply forward that video to Instagram (and Facebook). Sort of a cascading method of sharing, which saves me time and makes me feel techie all over again! Ha! More of a plan coming together, I guess you could say.

Prayers for Nepal

Continuing to pray for the people in Nepal. I have not been looking at the photos from Nepal. It’s enough for me to know what’s happened. I am not “hiding my head in the sand” either, I just feel that continuing to offer prayer is the highest and best I can do for them at this time, versus filling my mind with pictures of devastation. I’m also beginning to think I should apply that same idea to other negative/sad subjects.

Have you ever made Tepache? Life advice from Dolly, and Barn sketch in progress

I was shocked but not really sad about Dolly’s passing the other day, and Tim Curry’s passing. I think that’s because I simply don’t get that sad anymore about anything. So, not to worry, the rest of this post is going to be kept lighthearted. I’ll get into making a new fermented drink from Mexico, new job (that’s a joy), and show you a new sketch (in progress that I’ve been working on) the model of which, is my husband’s old pen and ink artwork. It’s an image of a barn that had been on his parent’s farm for years.

Good interview of Dolly with Reese: https://youtu.be/kuWmJjd0J7o?si=A9kzRlkv_EB3kuNY

I’ve been busy sketching, doing mobility training, checking in on our twin granddaughters during the days when both their parents are working and the eldest is over at her boyfriend’s house. Thus, I have been staying busy, though I enjoy my quiet times too–after all I am retired. Ha!

A few days ago I was asked to take part in a new venture, one that I had already been doing a lot of–sharing about the Moves Method on my YouTube channel –here’s the short from Day 1: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NZ_ihXF9sb0 so you can see what I’m doing. And this will get you started if you want to join me. I’m also posting on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok! I’m super excited about this because I will actually get paid on any sales that come through my link!!! And I get to learn a LOT more about the program for myself, as well as, how to be a REAL social media influencer on TikTok, Instagram, and so on, which is all knowledge I can use to help me promote our original music and artwork. So, it’s a win-win situation all the way around for us. And “I LOVE IT when a plan comes together” as the movie line goes! Haha!

The old barn

This is taking some time, but I am enjoying it.

My husband’s original pen and ink barn artwork under glass. I sit with it on my lap and sketch pad next to it to attempt to get my sizing correct. –Sheila Murrey
I’m a little farther along now, but this was how it looked when I began. I used a light brown pencil to rough it out. I’ll show a couple more steps in my next post. –Sheila Murrey

Tepache

My master herbalist friend is from Mexico and she makes a fermented pineapple drink called, Tepache. She did a little tutorial of how to make it (in the free group she and her husband run on the Skool platform–you can join if you want to). I’ll add the link in a moment. Anyway, I made this last week and it turned out to be delicious and very good for my gut! I have been eating a LOT more fermented foods this week too. All in an effort to heal my gut, whether I actually have “leaky gut” or not. Here’s a couple of photos and link to Christina and Michael’s Skool group: https://www.skool.com/herbalcottage/

Pineapple rinds in both a ceramic pitcher and glass jar. You have to keep it dark for it to ferment so my ceramic pitcher worked well, and I covered the glass jar. –Sheila Murrey
My bottled Tepache. –Sheila Murrey

Prayers for the people in Nepal. My qigong/dao teacher and healer, Lama Nicholas Packard used to live there for about 20 years. He’s passed now too, but I always think of him when I hear anything about Nepal. I also think of my friend Maria (in Florida) who travels to Nepal often. The people we’re connected to in this life make it special, don’t they. I don’t know what life would be like without them. But I know they would not want us to be sad.
