‘Thrive in 25’ – Art class: Mugs back from the kiln

So, my daughter and I painted these big ceramic mugs (pint size) with glaze (all over), and then with paint. After the paint was partially dry, we etched/dug through the color layer just to the glaze layer (not all the way through). The etching/carving/digging is what I enjoyed most! And here are the finished mugs! Yes, she surprised me by making one for my husband, Richard, with musical note and symbols. I didn’t tell him either. I waited for the days for these to come back from the kiln, so she could surprise him. He was surprised! And of course, I did spirals on mine (for the most part, plus ONE snail… because as I’ve told you before, I follow a kind of snail’s spiral path when it comes to spirituality. Ta-da!

We go to a fused glass class tomorrow night.

Latest music video

I continue learning more about Canva to create new music videos. And I’ve been watching YouTube videos on how to release these to the public and garner more views. However, the latest tip did NOTHING to help this video get views, so… I don’t know. Ha! I think YouTube changes their algorithm often, and one can truly never know how to get more views. Unless you have ideas? Let me know!

I am working on four new songs, that all came from drop-in thoughts, recorded while in the sauna. I posted several of the lines in Suno AI (not all) because you are limited to the number of characters to begin with. So, I split these lines into two songs and from there, I got four different song lyrics to ‘play’ with.

Moonlit Odyssey. –Sheila Murrey

Moonlit Odyssey is ready for me to create a music video. Update: Moonlit Odyssey is now on my YouTube channel as of, March 20th, 2025.

I have other music videos in progress. Sometimes I love the output, but Suno screws up and cuts the song off somewhere in the middle or 2/3 way through and I delete it.

The rewritten lyrics for Moonlit Odyssey are included in the description on YouTube.

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s THRIVE in ’25!

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

The new song is back from Nashville!

This is the new song I shared ten days ago and now, we’ve got the studio production back from Nashville.

Take a listen and see what you think. The chorus all the sound the same to me. Here’s the post from ten days ago with my rough demo (me singing): https://sheilamurrey.net/2023/12/14/the-new-song/

I’m a process person

Integrating the Spirals can do more for you than ease suffering. (It helps in many ways–when you use it; find it at Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I offer this course to ease suffering and raise the vibration to extend hope and expand our collective consciousness. Using breath work and meditation, we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive new personal guidance we may not have otherwise received–since we’ve all been programmed.

Original Music For The “Thinking Person”

Welcome to the first article in my blog!

Friends coaxed me to write a blog – though I had designed, developed, and maintained two websites, joined Facebook, Twitter, and had begun to write a book. I didn’t have much readership, so I couldn’t understand why anyone would want me to write a blog. Nor did I want to spend much time promoting a free blog, when I thought my energies would be better spent writing a book.

CD cover Chevy Ford Band: Dogma

I hesitated to start this blog, because I thought it would distract me–and I really wanted to finish the book before starting anything else. I even quit Facebook for a couple of years so I could finish my book!

Anyway, after a workout session in the gym, and continuing to experience a nagging thought that wouldn’t go away, I started the blog.

Dumb and Dumber

People have talked about the “Dumbing Down of America” for many years.

Media, TV shows, and movies entertain in such simple words and stories that nobody’s doing much thinking anymore.

People seem to be going here and there in a mindless fog. Entertainment is used as a means of escapism, from the stress of work, family drama, or as a way to relax. Many are unwittingly being dumbed down.

Now, we’re thinkin’

Yet for years, this band has been circulated around on the internet called, The Chevy Ford Band. And they’re on a mission to educate the masses through music – maybe that’s why they haven’t caught on with the mainstream public.

The music is about politics, religion, truth, and even sex. The lyrics are intelligent and perhaps, not for everybody.

Take a listen (on my home page footer) to our original songs. We think the songs would work beautifully as music for films and motion pictures. Let us know what you think!

My favorite songs of The Chevy Ford Band are:

  • Crush them with Rock
  • Dogma
  • Energy
  • Over my Head
  • Sunset

The upbeat tempos are great to work out with or dance to, plus I love the lyrics! I love to move and dance to high energy uptempo music that motivates and encourages me to move my body more! I sit all day for the most part and moving helps me release tension and stress!

The controversial song, “Attention Deficit Disorder” takes aim at how the ADD disorder is impacting many around us. That song inspires me to do everything I can to help people learn the Hippocratic oath, “Let Food Be Thy Medicine, and Medicine Be Thy Food.”

I’ve worked with or known people who have children with autism, parents with alzheimer’s, or they themselves have diabetes, recurring acid reflux, high blood pressure, and many other chronic ailments and dis-eases.

Since I’m an empathic person, and reasonably intelligent, I’d love to help them, and their loved ones, find relief. So, I continue to research and share. However, I’m not a health care practitioner, so I share my findings as a friend, natural holistic and alternative health advocate.

Coming next

Future posts in this blog will be related to energy work and other holistic alternative healing modalities. My other site, Being Wholly Vibrant, will share about diet, real food, and easy healthy whole food recipes. As well as book and product reviews.

I’ll also write about original music, social media advertising, health, technology, designing marketing materials, finding our bliss, and other consciousness expanding stuff!

Stay tuned. 🙂

Namaste. OM
