While I have been sick, I have been analyzing Facebook Stories and whether I should continue creating Jiggle Butt videos (either focusing on only creating one-song short videos (Shorts) or the longer 10-minute videos plus a daily Short as I have been.
I don’t understand why most people see the first one or two Facebook Stories I share, but whether I share one or twenty at a time, the outcome of viewers usually goes something like this:
22 people see the first Story. 9 see the second. Only 2 see ALL of the Stories. This is disheartening. But seems to be a trend. So, why bother?
Does anyone know why the number of viewers drop dramatically on these Stories? I watch other friends’ Stories who share a LOT more Stories each day than I do!
22 views of this first Facebook Story (a meme I like)9 views of this second Facebook Story (a meme I like)5 views of the next Facebook Story (a friend’s health meme I like)2 views of this Facebook Story (my text about Jiggle Butt), and the same two friends viewed the rest of the Stories (I didn’t even share anything political in my Stories today)
I’m seeking friends who are open to learn from me and vulnerable enough to let me know. But I seek no praise or validation anymore. I am not sharing to people please.
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.)

About us
My husband is an award-winning illustrator, plus he’s a seasoned guitarist, bass player, and songwriter (with over 400 original songs). You can view some of his artwork and listen to many of his songs at: https://www.youtube.com/user/richardmurrey
So far, I’ve encountered a couple snags related to my new online offering, Jiggle Butt. But I’ve been getting so many great comments/compliments via my Facebook Messenger! Thus, while I didn’t do this to seek any kind of validation, I’ve certainly received a LOT! And it fuels me to keep going, even when I run into some challenges.
On the upload of the video for Jiggle Butt – Day 3, I got a notice (yes, immediately) that YouTube found two of the three songs were copyrighted to The Chevy Ford Band. Of course, that was one of my husband’s previous bands–but not just a regular live playing band with other members. The Chevy Ford Band was simply the name he used when he marketed his demoes online. He used music studio “session players” who were paid for playing on each demo. The copyright is all HIS. But YouTube doesn’t know that. And who knows if we’re even dealing with a person there. It’s probably all done by a BOT! Yes, I filed a dispute, but now, who knows when they’ll unblock my Day 3 dance video. Grrr. And yes, it’s true, I should be glad that YouTube is looking out for Richard’s interests. If anyone else used his songs to create videos, we’d want to know.
Here’s my Day 2 and Day 4 videos. I think I’m also going to post these, including Day 3’s video to Rumble! Ha! Might as well.

We handed a USB thumb drive to someone new the other day to get a gauge on how Richard’s songs are liked. We will ask the gentleman in a couple of weeks when we see him again if he liked the songs.
Richard wants to create stuff people want. If no one’s interested, he wants to start a new hobby.
And I am starting to create more songs on another AI song platform because Suno AI has totally wrecked my account (and I can’t access it anymore). (I have written them twice and put in a help ticket with them about it.)

The social channels where I am most active (after thoroughly testing out others in 2024, I’ve dropped a few. My stats revealed almost no one opened my blog posts from Substack, Locals, or Instagram. I still have accounts there but I won’t be posting to those anymore):
It’s December 31st, 2024; We’ve got TWO original fun songs for your New Year’s Eve and to finish out 2024 and this year-long self-challenge I’ve been on! Woo-hoo! We made it through the year! These two high vibe songs are big favorites of ours!
This is the three-hundred-sixty-sixth new music post for 2024! Adam Cunningham brings his fantastic vocals front and center on both of these original songs! Gonna Open a Bar is a rock country fusion and Tip Jar is a a bit more country song–but both are full of energy! And you get to hear both sides of his voice in these solid hits. Both of these hot original songs were recorded and mixed by the aWEsOMe team at Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
Gonna open a bar. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey
AND
Can you tell I’m excited to finish out this year-long, self-challenge? Haha! I am! I’m sooo excited! And new things are already beginning to happen…
Did you catch the blog article I published about an hour before this one? If you didn’t see it, here’s the link: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/12/31/new-years-eve-2024/ I’d been reading (I forget from which blogger) that if you put a frog outside your door it will bring good luck in the new year. So, I’d mentioned to Linda of Handmade Haven by Linda on Etsy, that she might consider making a frog when she started a new wood burning project. And she did! She’s so great, she went for it and sent me a picture so as soon as she posted it to Etsy, if I wanted (no obligation), I could buy it! Free shipping too! Woo-hoo! Score!
I think I forgot something else. I never posted my completed hairy coo from a few months ago! Ha!
Can you see that I’m trying to tie up loose ends?

Reflecting on the year
After the numbers are in for the whole year, I’ll post my WordPress stats. But suffice to say, my readership is up, WAY UP over last year… and I know that’s because of EACH of you, opening, reading, and joining me in the comments (both on my posts and on yours), all through 2024! I’ve taken more time to read more posts thoroughly and thoughtfully comment. People know when others are REALLY reading, not just skimming their posts. I’ve honestly enjoyed getting to know my favorite bloggers this year and dive in deep with them.
I took a cue from Max over at PowerPopBlog to list each of you and your blogs to give you ALL props for encouraging me this year! Your comments and well wishes really do keep a gal focused and motivated! For sure! I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, if so, know you are loved, and I will add you (let me know, please)! A few of you, I’ve only just begun to chat with, so I’ll be sure and do this again at the end of 2025, Omniscience willing we make it that far. Tada! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!
Gray Summers (all around kindred spirit, songwriter, photographer, retired nurse, grandfather, and my Wales connection–his wife co-owns a health food store!): https://graysummerstwo.com
If I haven’t chatted with you for a while, just know that I have you on my list and it will happen. 2025 is my year for focused attention, and making more conscious time for chatting with you! Oh, and finishing up my 5th book. Ha! Yeah, there’s still THAT.
Aaron Abke
Okay, I might become obsessed with Aaron Abke. I’m now listening to his podcast episodes and finding a lot of value in them. I have said many of the things he talks about and I kind of have felt like I was on an island! So, I’m finding it all very exciting and thrilling that we’re on the same page, spiritually-speaking. I wonder if he’s read all of Shirley MacLaine’s books too? LOL Here’s one of his podcast episodes to get you started: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-abke-podcast/id1551862919?i=1000654095882

It’s December 30th, 2024; We’re down to our last couple of original songs to share… can you believe 2024 and this self-challenge is nearly DONE? WOW!!! Today’s song is one of our favorites. It features Adam Cunningham’s clear and rich vocals, and gives one a feeling of what it’s like to perform on stage. The song was inspired by Richard’s former live performance singing partner, Roy. Richard still talks about Roy Hood and all the shows they did together at Whiskey Creek in Bishop, CA–near Las Vegas, NV. They met Charlie Sheen, Demi Moore (when she was working on G.I. Jane), and others. Richard says that was some of the best years of his life (before me, that is.) Wink!

Tune up the guitars… setup the tip jar… shot of El Tesoro. How many songs got all this and a hat tip to George Strait?!? Love it! It’s on my dance break playlist.
Adam Cunningham does a bang up job on this original song! Why it wasn’t use on the amazing TV show, Yellowstone, I’ll never know! But we can hope that whatever’s next for Taylor Sheridan and the cast of Yellowstone, that one of our original songs will be part of it!
Balancing perspectives
Balancing perspectives is another new category I’m adding to this blog for 2025. We’ll see how it goes. The thought came to me while looking out our living/bedroom window with the new, somewhat mosaic, magnolia window decal on it. I bought this to cover the crack in the glass, and to add a bit more color to the main room. Yes, we have Richard’s artwork hanging on every wall, along with a couple of paintings (one done by me and one done by our daughter), but this design ‘spoke’ to me, so there’s that.

What a year it’s been
We’ve mostly adjusted to moving to New Hampshire, after living in Florida for nearly 40 years. But there are still things we haven’t seen yet, so we are looking forward to Spring. I want to take a train ride or two, and we may take a road trip this summer. I always consciously focus on the future, when saying goodbye to the past. And in the last 20 years or so, I’ve learned to ‘let stuff go’ with grace and ease with love and forgiveness attached!
President Jimmy Carter crossed over. I thought he was a good president, but I know some didn’t. It’s okay. He lived a good life though, and did so much in his later years with Habitat for Humanity. What a guy! This is a screen capture from the news I read this morning on 1440 news email. It’s the only news source I look at on a regular basis. We get most of our news from YouTubers. And most of those folks are in/near the places we’re we’re interested in and no mainstream media (MSM)!
Go figure! Glad the last four years are over. UGH!

Have you heard of Aaron Abke?
This is one of the new thought leaders I’m following, Aaron Abke. Have you heard of him? he’s doing something very much like what I’ve attempted to do with Integrating the Spirals, but since few have been interested in my ‘work,’ I figured I’d sit in on his meetings–at least he’s already gathered a like-minded tribe!
If you haven’t heard of Aaron, here’s how I found out about him:

It’s December 29th, 2024; We’ve got another tribute song today, this time, for Patsy Cline. I feel like Patsy Cline tonight takes on all her biggest song hit titles and weaves them into a tapestry of lyrics to tell a story and shine a light on a grand voice. While Patsy didn’t write her hit songs (from what I learned in my research, she did co-write a few songs), she had a way of taking a song and making it her own to the point where the masses sure thought she could have written the song.
This is the three-hundred-sixty-fourth new music post for 2024! Similar to yesterday’s song, this original song pays tribute by listing the many acclaimed accomplishments of someone. Today’s song honors the wonderful singer, Patsy Cline. This original song was sung by Lisa Brokop recorded at Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN.
As a writer and a singer, I have such a heart for the writers and admiration for wide, vocal-ranging singers. I can’t imagine Crazy being such the hit it was without Patsy singing it though. And yes, I do love Willie Nelson’s version of Crazy too.
My mom always told me that her dad, my maternal grandfather, James, always loved Patsy’s song, Walkin’ After Midnight. I sing it sometimes too, just around the house, whenever I want to feel close to him.
Speaking of spirits
I was on a tare last night! Actually, for the last several nights, I’ve experienced odd dreams. One of my first cousin’s, Laurie (sister of Greg and Josh) lost a beloved partner, John, a few days ago. What was really weird was that John passed away 8 years and one day apart from the date Laurie’s husband, Craig, crossed over to the Grand Beyond! The timing of the losses gave many of us pause. How and why do such things happen like that? And though I didn’t know John, she only told us about him and her living together when we went to Josh’s memorial in 2022, I’ve already dreamt of him. And I immediately awoke from that dream and wrote his exact words down so I could send them to her. She said, “that sounds exactly like something he would have said.” So, I have been feeling a lot lately.

Maybe it’s the end of the year that’s got me in this mood
Yesterday, Richard and I had to go to the post office to get a money order (we never got checks when we opened our new accounts here in New Hampshire and we nearly never have need for them). Richard wanted to join an arts association here in order to get his art seen. After that, we decided to go to lunch at the restaurant next door to the post office, which we love. We had not been out (and I’d said I wouldn’t) since it had snowed. Well, except when I go out with my daughter to do the weekly grocery shopping, but we don’t always get out of the car, since we have the groceries brought out and loaded for us–spiral thought there. Ha! Point is, Richard surprised me at lunch! He’d brought a CD with him to give to the restaurant manager! He said, “I’ve made a decision.” It’s not always good when he tells me that. But this time, he followed with, “I want to perform again, this Spring. Might as well start giving out my CD to see if we can get a gig.” Ha! No way! I mean, I can visualize it and work toward doing such a thing, but I was simply struggling to walk outside in this cold. Right. Spring. We’ll see. But if we are to do it, he’s right. We’ve got to give them an early opportunity to hear his original songs. That, prompted this:

Our Christmas picture
I always like to snap a picture of Richard and me with a Christmas tree when I can. And while my daughter has a lovely tree up in their house, and with all the people we celebrated Christmas with this year, no one took our picture! Ha! So, here’s the selfie of us that I took at lunch yesterday. My natural spiral curls didn’t show in this picture because I keep my hair pulled back in a pony tail most of the time (think, static), and also, wear my wool knit cap from Ireland when I step outside at all. I plan on cutting my hair this Spring too (I just cut two inches off of it a few days ago), so there’s that.

One of my favorite living things
I received my Yew tree calendar the other day! I was so excited to receive a package in the mail from Scotland! I put this in a prominent place in the kitchen so I can see Yew trees every day! Perhaps I’ll use it to mark our Live music play dates this year!
I know you’re getting tired of hearing about it, but

It’s December 28th, 2024; Speaking of unusual things yesterday, we’ve got a tribute to Stephen King for you today. I feel like Stephen King tonight would have probably been a better song around Halloween, but somehow I missed it. Better late than never! Ha!
This is the three-hundred-sixty-third new music post for 2024! This original song covers a lot of ground. It includes many of the book and movie titles from Stephen’s work. When Richard wrote this song, he sent it to Stephen King and got a nod of permission–but no other acknowledgement. So, we’ll never know if Stephen liked it or not. The music is fantastic on this song though. The saxophone of John Heinrich gives this tribute song a lot of flair and soul. This original song was recorded at Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN.
Now that we live closer to Stephen King, perhaps we’ll run into him somewhere! I know he’s a raging Democrat, but I’d still love to meet him one day. (As you know, I used to be a Democrat too. I’ve been an Independent for nearly twenty years, which is why I don’t get so bent out of shape that President Trump won, and I actually think he’ll do a good job for the country.)
I really think and feel that getting bent out of shape about ANYTHING is one sure fire way to lose your health and vitality. I don’t know about you, but I want to live FREE and not be CONTROLLED. Or at least I can say, that’s what I want. But as The Rolling Stones sang, You can’t always get what you want, you get what you need. Ah, yeah. Haha!
Speaking of good leaders
I posted the following on LinkedIn as a comment/reply to a lady who had a post about CEOs and how many company employees don’t want to talk with their CEO, or their CEO wasn’t approachable/accessible:

It’s December 27th, 2024; Did you receive anything unusual for Christmas? Unusual things is quite the unusual song! I thought it would be a great time to share this with so many unusual things taking place in the world.
This is the three-hundred-sixty-second new music post for 2024! This original song features our friend, Jim Merrilees from Scotland on vocals. Jim heard the demo of the song and asked if he could sing and record it again (singing over the original music track). Richard agreed, and this was the result! The music track was recorded at Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN. If you watch all the way through the music video, you’ll see everyone’s name and picture that was involved in the music track on one of the slides.
We met Jim in person when we visited Scotland in 2019. Jim sang us another song while we were there and we even danced! In fact, it was the last time I went out dancing. I had the opportunity other times, but for one reason or another didn’t dance. You can read that blog article I wrote about our time in Scotland at, https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/11/24/a-sacred-celtic-journey-part-3-scotland/
I would like to learn some new dances and am hoping to do that in the New Year, as we live a block away from an Opera House where they offer dance nights occasionally.
I finished reading a book last night
I finished Shirley MacLaine’s book last night, Wall of Life. I was surprised with a few of her statements, such as when she said Barbara Bush was the nicest Republican she ever met. And how she thought Donald Trump eyed her up and down once (years ago) like he was undressing her, and himself. All because he straightened his tie when he walked into the room and spotted her. I wondered why she thought she could read his mind. I could tell when a man eyed me up and down but never had all those thoughts. She must be much more perceptive than I am! On the page where she shared a photo of herself between the Obama’s, I noticed she complimented Barack (saying he was nice) but made no mention of his wife! I found that omission interesting.
Did you know… Christmas was once banned in Massachusetts USA?

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse and there are 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 soar in ’24! And let’s (are you ready for this?) THRIVE in ’25! or just be… Alive in ’25.
Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), spiraling consciousness,

It’s December 26th, 2024; Did you survive or even enjoy Christmas yesterday? Well, today we’ve got an original song that questions ALL narratives. Dogma turns the beat around and the stuff we’ve heard/been taught! It’s one of my favorite songs too. So, there’s that.
This is the three-hundred-sixty-first new music post for 2024! This original song features Bubba Hudson on vocals and the magnificent John Heinrich on the saxophone. It was lovingly recorded at Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN.
Dogma. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey
No matter what you believe, you can enjoy the holidays. Don’t buy into dogma. Don’t play their game. I wrote an article about Dogma (the artwork and such), but at that time, we didn’t have the music video out yet. I go into more of the details as to why I love this song so much in that post from 2020. You can read that blog article at, https://sheilamurrey.net/2020/05/02/no-dogma-required/
My gift to you
We’re working on getting this ‘healing audio‘ / spoken words into a video for YouTube. When we do, I’ll share it again. For now, my prayer is that it helps you heal.
I should have included this in my blog article yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling good and forgot. I’ve been reading a couple of books lately, but this one is easier to get through since it’s mostly photos. Also, did you know Dean Martin was funny? I mean, Shirley says Dean was more funny than Jerry Lewis! (She didn’t think much of Jerry, but Dean kept her in stitches!) I love Shirley MacLaine. In ALL ways.

It’s December 25th, 2024; Merry Christmas! We’re bringing you a fun original song to go hand in hand with your merriment! Presley the elf frolics and rocks into your living space to add joy, while paying tribute to the one and only, Elvis Presley. We hope everyone’s had a jolly morning, full of love and surprises.
This is the three-hundred-sixtieth new music post for 2024! The music for this original was recorded several years ago at Steven Cooper’s studio in Nashville, TN. But when Richard wrote new lyrics, he wanted a realistic voice (like Elvis) on the vocals. Matt Dame does a great rendition, even mimicking Elvis at the end. Great job! And many thanks to the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN on the remix. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
Presley the elf. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey
I woke up too early and then fell back asleep and missed the girls’ opening of their ‘Santa gifts’ and emptying of their stockings. But our son-in-law, Mike, recorded it, so I got to see that. Unfortunately, both of the twins have had a stomach bug, so one went to bed early last night and missed the family Christmas movie, Home Alone. The rest of us enjoyed that together. And I had forgotten how touching that movie was (at the end). Yes, I cried a bit too! I was glad that while we had not put our nativity up, there was a nativity scene (twice) in the movie and I didn’t miss my opportunity to comment on it! Ha! We also agreed that ‘everything happens for a reason’ was loudly proclaimed in the story line. Had the 8 year old not been left home alone, the elderly neighbor wouldn’t have been reunited with his family! Aww!
My gift to you
I hope you got to hear my gift to you in yesterday’s daily music blog post. But if you missed it, here it is again. As it came back to me this morning as I came back home to lay in bed, both because I was tired, and because I felt a twinge in my stomach too! (I hope I’m not picking anything up from the girls, as both my daughter and Mike are sick too.)
Here’s my gift to you: a ‘healing audio‘ / spoken words turn to singing (no music). I would like to put it on a video at some point. Suffice to say, my prayer is that it helps you heal.
Always integrating
I also hope you enjoyed the Jordan Peterson and Dallas Jenkins interview within the previous Integrating the Spirals post I presented for Christmas. They speak about several things near and dear to my heart. I’ll highlight a few: 1) Storytelling without propagandizing, 2) the FREEDOM we can feel and success that can find us when we surrender our Ego, 3) the synchronicity of the miraculous when we’re humble or feel we’ve failed (even while doing big things), and 4) the humanity and divinity within Jesus and perhaps ultimately within each of us.
Meme: “When we don’t trust in God we try to be God. We try to control everything and everyone and become miserable in the process. Sure we look busy and productive but inside we are fearful and taking on burdens we were never meant to carry. Trust. Prayer. Surrender will give you peace.” –Jon Gordon
