Ask Us: How do you identify emotional abuse in a relationship?

July 9th – Lost hearts inc

It’s July 9th, 2024; We have an original swingin’ rock song about love’s crazy ways. We’ve got twelve steps for relationships that have run aground. The first version of this song offers a rockin’ mix that includes some bluesy violin and a singer who gets the job done–with a deep, smooth voice; a wild pro demo from Steven Cooper’s music studio in Nashville, TN. 

Stories of despair

Here’s the one-hundred-ninety-first new music post for 2024, as I continue to impress you with a new original song every day this year–and meet my consistency challenge!

This song speaks about stories of despair without sharing any. The lyrics encourage the lonely, er, lost hearts, to meet once a week and commiserate, one with another, to heal their loneliness–albeit trading one source of misery for another if taken too far. But everyone has their own way of coping, I suppose.

This upbeat song gives us a new way of looking at ‘getting beyond’ (or getting over) relationship breakups or the bad memories of previous marriages.

Original version of Lost Hearts Inc. done at Steven Cooper’s music studio.

The second version is the wildly popular remake of Lost Hearts Inc, sung by Adam Cunningham and mixed at Beaird Music Studios in Nashville, TN. You can hear it on Richard’s website: http://listen4music.com/rock/27%20lost%20hearts%20incorporated.mp3

Two versions

Sometimes we feel a remake of our songs is in order to put a new voice on a song, rewrite a few of the lyrics, or just get a fresh sound in order to sell the song to a film or TV show. But you can listen to both and let us know which version you think is more marketable in the commercial space.

Speaking of versions, let’s gently influence each other to reveal our innermost, most soulful, greater version instead of “trying to change them”:

Meme: “I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.” — Dr. Steve Maraboli

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. Always seeking to uncover the greater version of ourselves for the benefit of ALL.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. May we all soar in ’24!

Yours in expanding, revealing, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

March 21st – Junkin’ it’s gone if it don’t last

It’s March 21st, 2024; Here’s an original blues song with catchy guitar riffs and a sizzling keyboard bridge. We love the fantastic vocals from Bubba Hudson on this tune. Plus, we greatly appreciate the extra attention to detail on the production mix by Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN.

Buy quality not junk

Here’s the eightieth new music post for 2024, as I consistently trek along on my journey to promote our original songs (and sell t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and more too). Yes, Richard did the lava surfin’ artwork on this music video and we have the matching designs you can buy on quality t-shirts, mugs, stickers, totes, phone covers, and more: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/45250989-lava-surfer?store_id=2646769 and https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/45250529-lava-surfer?store_id=2646769 – they are all on sale too, right now!

My parents and grandparents taught me a valuable life lesson. Buy quality. Simply spending a few more dollars for things reduces how much ends up in the landfill. And we get to use our stuff for a lot longer–I still wear some of the clothing my mom bought. Plus, I have a coat from my grandmother! On a metaphysical level, I can feel the love through the clothes I inherited. I’ve handed several pieces of clothing down to my granddaughters as well!

Fun fact: When Richard had the stroke Oct. 2022, his rehab nurse loved this lava surfin’ t-shirt he was wearing so much, that Richard took it off and gave her the shirt off his back!

Reuse or recycle before throwing stuff out

I don’t have to tell you that landfills the world over are filled to the brim and overflowing. We’ve all seen pictures of the junk pile in the ocean too. So, please reuse and recycle before throwing junk out. You may have known a hoarder in your life (I have), or watched the TV show about hoarders–it’s not pretty. And hoarding is a mental illness.

Speaking of junk, please honor your body and eat real food not processed junk food.

Meme: “We’ve consumed meat, eggs & dairy for thousands of years. Processed foods have only been around for about 100 years. But for some reason animal foods get blamed for all our health woes, & processed junk food gets a pass. Weird. –Dr. James DiNicolantonio

This song may also apply to those of us who have been in unhealthy relationships. Sit with it for a while and consider this ‘going inward’ advice by Shirley MacLaine:

Improve the soil

I was so excited to see Dr. Zach Bush last night when his replay became available on Gaia! He did not disappoint. I felt his whole speech was genius! I probably held my breath through the first few minutes when he explained how a baby develops!

I sat mesmerized and will watch it again today and take notes. His profound way of holding my attention, even when presenting science-type information, is incredible. Not to mention Dr. Zach’s compassion, and immense love for humans–from babies to the dying. Ahh!

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 our genealogy and environment, reusing more, throwing away less, expanding our consciousness, growing in discernment and wisdom, and living FREE!

Yours in expanding, always learning and sharing, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

March 20th – Working it out

It’s March 20th, 2024; Here’s an original pop song with a unique melody. Richard says the feels the guitar is a bit frenetic in this song. It is a song Richard wrote and produced many years ago. I think this original song is meant to be helpful to people going through this particular situation–the situation the song lyrics speak to. I feel the song intends to be of help when it comes to working out challenging issues within a relationship.

Relaying intention

Here’s the seventy-ninth new music post for 2024, as I intend to consistently share my husband’s original songs in a format that helps one hear each and appreciate his clever and well-intentioned songwriting and storytelling abilities. Often to my amazement, I find a lot of synchronicities in the various scenarios within the lyrics of Richard’s songs (such as is related in this song especially) that match up with events that happened in my own life (pre-Richard).

Working it out

I often say, “I love it when a plan comes together.” And while I mean it, I still get caught up in the feelings of irritation, annoyance, or frustration. I’m working on feeling those feelings less and less. So, I can listen to this song and believe the couple works out their challenges and stays together “for her”–for their child. And that very much aligns with how my parents worked things out and stayed together for me. Aww! I know.

But it could also be taken a bit lighter. How do you hear this song?

In looking for an image to add to this post, I found this cartoon meme from a sweet soulie sister. We don’t have a cat, but Richard used to have a cat named Cassie, (during his first marriage). So, if your cat makes a mess, it may have been time to clean out from under the couch anyway. Ha!

Cartoon by Mark Parisi of the mess cats can make, especially under a couch. Shared on Facebook from my friend and soulie sister, Terraell Hazlett.

This song may also be applicable when someone is facing a health diagnosis that seems insurmountable. They may ask why something like this is happening TO them. When I searched my hard drive for ‘work it out’ I found this screen capture:

Screen capture: My comments (on Facebook) about ‘working it out’ when faced with a challenging situation (health, relationship, or other). Life is happening FOR us. Go inward. It’s ALL an inside job. –Sheila Murrey

Try again

I learned the difference between the free will choices that my soul made (soul contracts) and the free will of my Sheila personality in this lifetime, from Regina Meredith this morning. Synchronistically, my daughter called me when I was about halfway through. I took the opportunity (after she called to relay good news about our upcoming move), to tell her that about 15-20 minutes into Regina’s talk, she offered some information that I felt applied to my daughter. And that Regina helped me notice the word, Relay, within the words, Relate and Relationship. I also told my daughter several other things I was learning from Regina as I listened. I’ll finish watching Regina’s presentation after I get this blog post out. Wink! 

I know I’ve told you for the last couple of days about this conference, but if you still haven’t checked it out yet, there’s still time for you to sign up and watch the replays during this Emersion Conference on Gaia:

https://www.gaia.com/series/emersion-conference

Enjoy (IN Joy) and have fun! Be Everything All the Time.

May we all soar in ’24! Here’s to loving ourselves more, understanding and maybe even honoring our soul contracts, expanding our consciousness, growing in discernment and wisdom, and living FREE!

Yours in expanding, always learning and relating, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
