I’ve been soooo heads down in writing this 5th book that I completely forgot I was supposed to edit this video and send it to my friend and fellow blogger, Linda! See her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com My apologies for my lateness, but here’s the link to it on YouTube (as WordPress won’t let me upload videos here without paying more money).
Also, WordPress is not embedding my YouTube links correctly, so yes, you’ll have to simply click or copy that link to go watch the video. Sorry! I don’t know what’s happening lately on this platform. Ugh.
I’ve got a couple other blog posts in draft to follow this one, so hopefully, I’ll get those pushed out in a couple days. Thanks everyone! This has been an exciting time around our house!
Integrating the Spirals
I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently 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!
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.)

It’s July 8th, 2024; We have an original traditional country music song about finding someone who’s more than a friend. How many of you have wanted to find true love? You’re not alone–I think most people want to be in love with their true love or soul mate. This is a traditional country mix with a singer who reminds me of Dwight Yoakam. And again, this is a pro demo from Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN.
To start off our week
Here’s the one-hundred-ninetieth new music post for 2024, as I continue to trek along on putting out one new original song for you, each day this year–and feel good about being consistent!
I know I’m putting this out a bit later in the day than usual, but I slept in and then went outside to sit with my daughter and the twins (while the twins played in their kiddie pools). I love the dry air here in New England. Heck, I just love saying New England! Ha!
My daughter usually works on Mondays, so I have enjoyed her being home last Monday and then again, today! We’ll go out to the store in a bit too, which will be refreshing. We are making up for lost time (if one can ever really do that).
Give Time, time
Speaking of making up for lost time, I found this old Facebook post of mine from 2017; It gives you an idea of what my mindset was back then. I have always desired to be closer to my daughter and granddaughters, since she had the first baby, and now, yes, it feels like a dream come true to be here, even though the reason was to be able to help us as we age (and after Richard experienced a stroke in Oct. 2022). So, here we are, and I feel so settled.
My comment: To help ease my mind… when I had been looking for a monthly AirBnB rental (an example of my desire to be able to visit my daughter and granddaughters more, never thinking we’d actually move to New England but happy that we did). — Sheila Murrey (2017)
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason 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. My children have always been my heart, but thankfully, even after two failed marriages, I had more room in my heart to love my soul mate, Richard.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. May we all soar in ’24!
Yours in expanding, always open to love, spiraling consciousness,

It’s March 25th, 2024; Here’s an original country song about leaving someone, something, or a place you love. The song gives us a feeling of return. When you love someone, something, or a place most of us at least have a dream of returning even if we doubt we ever will. That seems to be built into our human nature.
Leaving a love
Here’s the eighty-fourth new music post for 2024, as I plug along at a consistent pace to share our original music for you to hear and enjoy. This is a smooth country tune that invites you to hum or sing along. Almost everyone has left someone, something, or some place they loved. Leaving a love isn’t easy.
Richard left Kentucky over forty years ago. I don’t know how difficult it was for him then because A) we didn’t know each other, and B) he had a great desire to live in Florida. I think when we have more of a reason (or energetic pull) to move somewhere new, it makes it easier for us to leave our current home place. What do you think?
Music helps to soothe the savage beast as the old saying goes. And that’s our hope with this song. I also think this is a point of convergence in this blog and why our original songs marry nicely in the whole kaleidoscope of my Integrating the Spirals spiritual message, philosophy, and mission.
People, things, or places
Is it easier to leave people, things, or places we love? We’re preparing to leave a place (the state of Florida) that we’ve loved for decades. We have to focus on the wealth of good things ahead for us in New England to dissuade us from fretting over leaving the state Richard and I have both loved for so long. I think it may be easier to leave things (because a lot can be gotten again if it’s really needed, unless it’s a priceless memento or such), than it is to leave people (though we can, via technology, see and hear them whenever we want. So, perhaps leaving a place is the most difficult, but let me know in the comments.
In speaking about our upcoming move north, one of my dear Facebook friends offered, “Florida will always be here.” Suggesting we can always come back, or at least visit, etc. And I am sitting here in Florida thinking that once we leave, we’ll never come back. So, taking my friend’s thought to heart, it can help me leave and feel better about it.
I think ‘Letting Go’ in general is difficult for people who are hell-bent on ‘Hanging on’ to anything. So, perhaps ‘Letting Go’ is a skill we can work on? I think there’s value in learning how to gracefully ‘Let Go.’
Picture of a refrigerator magnet I bought decades ago that I look at and meditate upon when I feel the need to reach for a better feeling thought about leaving anything or place I love. It says, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.” It is a proverb.
Enjoy (IN Joy) and have fun! Be Everything All the Time.
May we all soar in ’24! Here’s to loving ourselves all the way through, expanding our consciousness, loving ourselves through it ALL, and living FREE!
Yours in expanding, loving, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

It’s March 1st, 2024; Here’s an original traditional country song for you today. It’s a story about young ones playing games and then later, adults playing games again. Great times!
Our big announcement is official!
Here’s the sixty-first new music post for 2024, as I consistently share an original song each day this year. Have you ever played this game with anyone, Rock, Paper, Scissors? I’m so looking forward to playing games like this, board games, and such with our three young granddaughters when we move to New Hampshire by the end of June this year! Yes, it’s now official! That’s our big announcement! We’re leaving Florida and moving to New England (over a thousand miles away)! Woo-hoo! We’re excited about it!
We’re moving north!
A fellow Facebook friend posted the following one day in his Facebook Stories and I grabbed it (I save a LOT of these as screen captures). It spoke volumes to me at a time when I felt low (“down”) about friends who never visited, never invited us anywhere, and so on. I felt like we always had to drive TO see everyone and then NO ONE was there for us after Richard had a stroke (Oct. 2022). I thought once we moved to Ocala and left Bradenton, I could get over it and get on with life, but unfortunately, the friends we moved here to see have not visited either. So, I give up.
We are thankful that Richard’s sister and her husband have visited us, and two of our friends we’d not seen in decades. So, there’s that. We sincerely appreciate that they chose to take the time to visit us here in Ocala, FL!
It’s time for us to make the move
After Richard had the stroke, my daughter had mentioned several times that perhaps it was time for us to leave Florida. She genuinely wanted to come and help us, but she has three young daughters, a job, and a husband who works too. They are also landlords. To say they have a LOT going on would be an understatement. My daughter has a LOT to juggle. Thus, I know we were on her mind, especially when her brother, my son, left Florida and moved to North Carolina.
When my son left Florida, I felt so alone here. I mean, we used to have friends we thought cared for us–we certainly cared for them. And I don’t want to be bitter. Some of our friends have passed away in the last few years too. So, I just don’t feel there’s anyone left here to help us as we get older. And my daughter wants to help us.

The more I walk my talk and work on my Integrating the Spirals processes, tips, and tricks, the more I understand why people have shied away from us. They are busy in their own lives and we just don’t rate high enough on their list of priorities to try and come and see us. One has tried, but I was sick the day she was going to drive two hours to visit with us–I am hopeful we’ll see her again before we move.
Though I do look back, I’m always reaching for the better feeling thought, as Abraham-Hicks says. I am always working on myself, and am currently taking a class with a Theosophy group of about twelve people. I am grateful for them, otherwise, I’d feel quite left out. As an only child, feeling “left out” was always the worst feeling I had. I would even force myself to sit at the dinner table with my parents and watch them eat whenever I was too sick to eat (as a child). That’s how much “joining in” meant to me as a child. And the community has meant just as much to me as an adult. It must be because my soul has always recognized that, We Are All Connected.
I will sit with my feelings and meditate on the external sounds that I am unattached to. This always helps me heal and balance my mind because it’s all frequencies), and God only knows what others’ motivations are. All I know is, I’ve tried. And as Richard often says, “The road runs both ways.” If we mean that much to our friends and family, they will make the effort to come and see us.
All I can ever do is, mind my own Energy. Just as my t-shirt/mug/sticker design says, Minding My Energy. If I didn’t get down once in a while, I wouldn’t appreciate ALL the times I’m UP! And I’d rather laugh than cry. Wink!
My meme: The planet has ice at both poles. If you want to get warmer, move closer to middle ground. Polarized people are often colder (bitter).
Years ago I had rented a condo on the lake in New Hampshire and invited friends and family to visit. Dad didn’t think he could even make the trip, though he said he would have liked to, and I understood because of all he had to do with caregiving for Mom. But it was the first time in my life that he didn’t visit me in a new place. And cousins who didn’t live that far couldn’t find the time to visit. But one of my coworkers from a few years prior found the time and inclination to visit me there, and she got to meet my granddaughters. I was thrilled! I will never forget her choosing to visit me–it meant the world.
Of course, I was primarily there (for a month in New Hampshire) for my daughter and granddaughters, and I got to see them after work, and on weekends. We had a blast! I also began developing my Integrating the Spirals back then (while staying at the lakeside condo). I couldn’t fully realize that then though. I’d begun bowing to the four directions each day because of a wood plaque that was hung on the living room wall of the condo. The words on that wooden sign fed my soul daily. Later, when we went to Ireland, England, and Scotland on our Sacred Celtic Journey, the seed those words had planted within my psyche and soul resonated with the uplifting and empowering vibrations I experienced at Newgrange, Stonehenge, and with the Yew tree at Rosslyn castle. Aha! Time spent with friends, family, and sacred places matters.
May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! Always planting new seeds and integrating the processes that help me and ALL of us balance and find ease, and JOY!
