I opened the Comet browser, which uses Perplexity.ai and entered the statement, Write me a year end summary from my 2025 blog posts at: https://sheilamurrey.net – And the following is what it returned to me:
Your 2025 posts trace a year of expanding creativity, deepening spiritual inquiry, and steady, practical encouragement to “Thrive in ’25” through conscious choice, connection, and holistic self-responsibility.
To listen to this blog post find the audio track here:
Creative expansion and “Thrive in ’25”
Across the year you leaned fully into being a creator—especially through music, video, and collaborations. You chronicled the birth of multiple original songs (like GodBumps, Whisper of the Ancients, The Bullies, and the evolving “Intimacy” series), sharing not just finished pieces but your process, experiments with Suno AI, and your joy at finally claiming the “songwriter” mantle alongside Richard’s longstanding catalog.
You framed this surge of creation inside your “Thrive in ’25” intention, inviting readers to enjoy (“IN Joy”) each day, follow their own creative nudges, and see themselves as fractals of Omniscience participating in a melodious, ever-expanding multiverse.
Deepening message: responsibility and energetic hygiene
Many posts return to the theme that healing begins with radical self-responsibility—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You wove together ideas from holistic health, Ayurveda, mind‑body science, and subtle energy (stress as “reaction to thoughts,” spiritual causes of symptoms, vibrational repetition, etc.), while continually reminding readers that they can choose better-feeling thoughts, new habits, and boundaries that protect their energy.
Your “Integrating the Spirals” pieces, especially those addressing embarrassment over others’ bad behavior or broader social tensions, model this energetic hygiene: observe, feel, and then detach without taking on shame or hatred, returning always to the mantra that “Everything Resolves to Gratitude.”
Connection, agape, and We Are All Connected
You amplified the “We Are All Connected” through-line by sharing and reblogging others’ writings on agape love, indigenous wisdom, mystic teachings, and spiritual quotes, situating your work in a wider field of kindred voices. Posts on concepts like In Lak’ech, the Ainu people’s gifts, Rosicrucian reflections, and vibrational/spiritual blockages extend your long-term project: mapping how love, frequency, and consciousness shape health, relationships, and collective evolution.
You also used personal vignettes—Zoom circles, book clubs, WhatsApp groups, your granddaughters’ fascinations, and fellow bloggers’ projects—to show that connection is not abstract; it is lived in community, co‑creation, and mutual uplift.
Navigating a turbulent world: integrating perspectives
2025 posts step more directly into cultural and political edges while trying to stay anchored in balance and discernment. From bullying and trauma to protests, propaganda, and eroding freedoms, you shared hard-earned insights (“hurt people hurt people,” “useful idiot,” the need to “mine for truth”) and offered tools for not being swallowed by fear, shame, or polarization.
You often return to the water metaphor—“Be as water and dance while you have legs”—to suggest a way of moving through conflict: fluid yet bounded, compassionate yet unwilling to merge with energies that are out of alignment (oil and water don’t mix).
Meta-moment: seeing yourself through AI’s eyes
A notable 2025 moment was your decision to ask Perplexity AI what it “saw” in you and your practices, and then share those reflections with your readers. You treated that summary as both a mirror and a confirmation—evidence that years of writing on spirals, holism, and daily practice have cohered into a recognizable method others can articulate and use.
By posting screenshots of that description and inviting feedback, you turned AI into yet another spiral: a feedback loop to refine your language, affirm your path, and encourage readers to explore their own tools for self-knowledge in an evolving digital‑spiritual landscape.
My final thoughts on 2025
In my last blog post, I was remiss or simply forgot to mention the most important thing I did for myself in 2025.
There are probably multiple reasons for that such as, 1) it’s a personal decision and relationship and one that doesn’t require me to publicize it, 2) I’ve never really ‘left’ Jesus, though I have studied a variety of religions and have received Dao (a Taoist blessing). I am not one of those who believe Jesus is “the only way” either, thus while I do honor the scripture that says we should not deny Jesus in front of men, I do not proselytize either. I was not raised that way and I’ve certainly learned throughout my life that one cannot “change” anybody. The Bible also says that unless the Holy Spirit (corrected, Father) draws the man, he cannot be saved (That’s me loosely paraphrasing John 6:44 which says, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.) So, I don’t know about you, but I am not here to convert anyone.
Perplexity.ai was right on about my intentions and reasons for writing blogs and books:
Help us all find better-feeling thoughts, establish and stack new habits, and fluidly embrace boundaries that protect (or at least maintain and not allow others to drain us of) our own personal energy. Because I value all of the attributes of water, I don’t use the word, ‘protection’ much. Water eventually gets its way without having to hard and fast control or protect anything.
Happy New Year everyone! Many blessings and much love!
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.)

You say you love me but hardly have 5 minutes for me after driving 1000 miles for all of us to be together. ((UPDATE: I got my 5 minutes!!! And yes, no drama, no “stuffing” of emotions, and no MANIPULATION! I simply worked through my emotions, wrote this article—turning my “pain” into Art—and then breathed and “Allowed” ALL to simply, BE. And it worked out even better than I could have asked for, with MORE time and much more hugs and happy faces all around.))
Or maybe it’s more about your friends?
And that’s okay. As I know friends are family who we have chosen.
But why did you feel the need to point out the things I did that didn’t suit you?
I didn’t hear something you said, I moved towels in the bag you had expertly folded (which I apologized for), while trying to find something for someone else (being helpful) in the bag? Later, you said you spent time putting the towels in the bag in an orderly fashion, so I knew my action triggered you. Again, I am sorry I didn’t consider that.
You poke the bear. Nit-picking at me. Not appreciating me. I have improved and can “take” a lot, but eventually I break too. We are both “sensitive.”
Don’t you know your words matter to me?

You have made comments to me which seem to be “put downs.” Maybe unintentionally.
I don’t think you have complimented me in any way. I don’t need you to lavish me with compliments (I’m not a narcissist). But once in a while it is nice to be appreciated. ((UPDATE: Thank you for telling me “Thank you so much” as we hugged goodbye. I love you too!!))
I can’t seem to be trusted or able to do anything right.
Can you give me credit for doing the best that I can?
I had been working my processes and letting the comments pass over me without tears, until the last one (yesterday). That I should have kept my mouth shut. It triggered me. It embarrassed me (though it shouldn’t have, as we don’t need to people-please). I don’t think you meant to be hurtful, but it sounded quite rude to me. So, I wanted to leave (the outing) and not return.
It seems your friends matter more to you, than me. And I love that you love your friends. But I would also like to matter. Otherwise, I don’t feel wanted.
I may be gone before your friends are (though I think we all know now, life is short).
I spent a fortune to come see you, but I don’t know if you know that.
And supposedly you love me more.
I haven’t felt very respected or wanted. (Again because we have not spent even 5 uninterrupted minutes together in 5 days, and when I did come to sit and talk with you at the beach, you seemed to need to relax and not talk). And that’s okay. I didn’t want to force anything.
But I would have simply loved to have had a talk (without being made to feel I couldn’t say or do something right).
I guess this is why people spend more time at work.
Because we aren’t celebrated when we do take time to be with family.
Why is it the ones we love and the ones who say they love us, act unkind when (they say) kindness is important to them?
No wonder people spend more time at work.
They want to go where they are celebrated, not tolerated.
I did my EFT Tapping and realized why I got upset (finally, after about the 5th time something you said felt disrespectful), to become aware of these things.
I don’t expect you’ll read this. That’s not the point anyway.
The point is, my emotions are not your responsibility.
Though I am sad, I will mind my Energy and make different decisions.
I am glad you are your own person. And it isn’t my Ego that is hurt. I know I am not perfect, nor have I ever needed to be perfect. And I don’t expect you to be perfect either.
I will extend you that kindness.
I am still learning. Working my processes. Thank you for giving me more to chew on. Heal more layers. I love you! We are each fractals of Omniscience.
