January 4th – Examining who we know

It’s January 4th, 2024; I’m thinking about my son (who happens to be in the hospital at the moment) and what it means to give birth to a son and daughter (I have one of each).

I started my day off reading about Charlie Rich and how his hit song, Behind Closed Doors, made him a household name for a time. I always loved his voice, but that was a groundbreaking song during my childhood and helped me form an early opinion on the fact that “We never really know someone.” Decades later, I’d see that emerge again on one of my favorite pay TV shows ever, Six Feet Under, when the character David espouses the statement, “You can’t ever really know a person. If you think you can, you’re living in a F…ing dream world.”

Six Feet Under quote–Credit: HBO

I also read a very stirring account of a person confined to prison (for 27 years) and how I cannot begin to imagine the isolation they feel and how glad I am that (in their words) writing reconnects them with their humanity.

An original song that furthers this topic

Here’s the fourth new music post for 2024. I chose to do a self-challenge to share one of our original songs each day of the year, to see if it helps any gain some traction. Radio stations feel free to play! Also, filmmakers, podcasters, and the like can also use these songs. I’m sharing the songs here first, then promoting the blog articles over to Tumblr (automatic feed from WordPress), Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, and Alignable (in that order).

We have over 400 original songs and most folks haven’t heard them! If you love a song, please share the song (or this post) with your friends.

This song is about observing and asking ‘Who do you know’? In particular, in this age of gender acknowledgment, pronoun selection, and body autonomy/sovereignty. No judgment here either, just a way to help some of us old farts flow with this ‘ever-changing world in which we live in’ to quote another one of my favorite songs from Wings.

Who Do You Know, by Richard Murrey

Quotes I’m known for

Carry your Karma lightly. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

January 3rd – Time for James Bond

It’s January 3rd, 2024 and I’m thinking about James Bond. Why? Oh, I am enjoying retirement and scanning the streaming services to see if I’ve viewed every James Bond movie ever made. Haha! No, I’m not bored already, just investigating to see what’s available. It also helps to introduce today’s original song!

Original Song

Here’s the third of my new music posts for 2024. This is how I’ll share more of our original music for you to get to know us better and hear songs you’ve never heard before. I’ve figured out a good strategy for sharing the songs in my blog first, then sharing the blog articles over to Tumblr (automatic feed from WordPress), Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, and Alignable (in that order).

I’m aiming to get more eyes and ears on our songs–since we have over 400 originals and most of you have never heard them! If you find some you love, we would love it if you’d share the song (or this post) with your friends.

Here’s a song that pays tribute to many (not all) of the James Bond movies. Perhaps, if we’re lucky, it could get picked up and used in the next Bond flick! Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

Be my James Bond tonight, by Richard Murrey

January 2nd – New music as you return to work

Happy January 2nd, 2024! Oh, I am enjoying retirement already–no Sunday night anxiety, no ‘back to work’ anxiety after the holidays, and no thought of who needs what from me at all! I’ve been waiting my whole life for this! I’ve worked nearly every year of my life since I was 15, only having taken two years off when I had my children 22 months apart when I was between 18-20 years of age.

2023 can be left in the dust

2023 was fairly memorable for us, as it’s when we left South Florida and moved north to Ocala, FL. But still, now that we are here, we’re thinking we didn’t move far enough north! Ha! So, this summer, we’ll move again and be near family. We’re settling into that idea after living in hot Florida for about the last 35 years (since Dec. 1985 for me, and Richard had lived here even prior to that–we didn’t know each other back then).

Original Music

Here’s the second of my new music posts for 2024 as I wrote about yesterday. This is how I’ll share more of our original music for you to get to know us better and hear songs you’ve never heard before. I’ve figured out a good strategy for sharing the songs here first, then I will share this post to Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Alignable (in that order). I’ll share videos to TikTok and we’ll see how that goes. It doesn’t seem people see stuff there unless I’m on TikTok and using it to watch videos or scroll through people’s posts.

My goal is to get more eyes and ears on our songs–since we have over 400 originals and most of you have never heard them! Of course, if you find some you love, we would be thrilled if you’d share the post with your friends.

Here’s one of our Christian/Spiritual songs, ‘I return’ that my ‘sis’ loves so much. So in her honor for her birthday, I will share it:

I return – YouTube, original song and art by Richard Murrey

Happy birthday to my ‘sis’!

I’m excited about this new year–and January 2nd (as it’s my best friend’s birthday). Happy birthday, Doris Lee! We couldn’t wait to turn 18, then 21, and after that, I think both of us wanted the years to quit clicking by! We both got married and had children, and then our lives diverged with my moving to Florida when I was 22, but we always stayed in touch and in many ways are more like sisters than most blood-related siblings! I hope you have the Best Day Ever, ‘sis’!

My best friend since school days, Doris Lee and I–when we visited them during Aug. 2022 (Both wearing our Integrated Spirals t-shirts too!)

My current project and new email address

I’m working on my 5th book, We Are All Connected. It’s getting really interesting as I put the pieces together and think about a book cover. Of course, I’m also ramping up my email list to be able to communicate personally with y’all. (If you aren’t a follower of my blog but want to be on my email list, you can let me write me and let me know (shhh, here’s my new email address: info@sheilamurrey.net)

I’m eager to continue expanding my consciousness, and yours, and Connecting with many more of you–now that I’m retired! LOL YIPPEE!!!

Yours in expanding, celebrating-retirement, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY!

What I am known for

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

New song: Be my James Bond tonight

We chose a sultry voiced singer to sing this one, let us know what you think:

Original song: Be my James Bond tonight

Fresh from the studio

We don’t usually get a video up as soon as a song comes back from our Nashville TN studio, but this time, hubby was ready (he had the images ready to go). No time to waste! Ha!

Do let us know how you feel when you watch and listen. It would be so cool if we could get a bit of this song in the next James Bond movie.

Here’s the post that contains the rough demo we sent to Nashville with me singing: https://sheilamurrey.net/2023/10/07/expanding-consciousness-all-the-time/

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
