The watercolors I use now

Thanks to Walmart extending me the offer to become a Recognized Reviewer, I have been searching their 1,000 items list for the last few days and thinking about all the things we need, or want, plus what we might give as holiday gifts, especially to the granddaughters. I’m beyond excited to know that because I’ve freely given Walmart hundreds (I think it’s over 1,000 by now actually), mostly on food items we’ve bought from them in the two years we’ve lived in New Hampshire, that NOW, I will save us at least a few hundred dollars a year by getting free products just for reviewing said items. Yippee!!

Plus, I can order some items that have not yet been released on Walmart.com! So, I finally found a great watercolor set (and I had been looking and checking different stores online for a while). What a FUN retirement “job” to have now, right? And currently, I am an elite Yelp reviewer too, but I digress. I’m a writer, right? And a writer writes, as we say. So there’s that.

Screen capture of part of the email Walmart sent me about what it means to be a Recognized Reviewer. –Walmart

I had been wanting to try some watercolor painting for months, since my blogger pal, and artist, Linda, has been painting her sketches with watercolor paints. She suggested I get a children’s set of watercolors to begin with and that’s pretty much what I did.

I’ve already left my review of these watercolors on the Walmart site, so this is simply an extra post to show you all, my readers, the background on how I found these and what they are. And it’s all thanks to Linda’s encouragement. Aren’t I lucky?

You can get to know Linda too, if you’d like. And I’d highly recommend it. Here’s her site: https://creativeartworksblog.com

I’m so thankful for my new mantra: “Art communicates more than words, builds new neural pathways (in the brain), and connects us all!”

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. Doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling integrating ride to better health, doing with more ease and less effort-ing, to help us find and sustain the JOY in our lives! (Sprinkling Gratitude all around while we’re at it.)

One of my favorites: The Why Files episode on NDEs

My favorite episode of The Why Files to date is embedded next:

Proof of Life After Death. The Why Files

Background

Several months ago, my daughter and son-in-law turned us onto The Why Files—and not only have we watched every episode, but we look forward to each new episode each week (which we typically watch on Thursday or Friday night). We love it! It’s for high IQ or critical thinkers who care and like to have fun. Tin foil hats included! LOL

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and Shared Death Experiences (SDEs) are near and dear to my heart after meeting Krista and Ainsley and hearing their NDE stories, and after working with Dr. Raymond Moody’s correspondence team last year—and getting to read and respond to many people who wrote their stories and sent them in to ask his opinion or advice.

Though the experiences that I shared in Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection were not NDEs, the one after my dad’s passing could be classified as an SDE. I’ll share the link to that specific story too, in case you are new to my blog.

A surreal vision: soul departure

As for The Why Files, I have the Hecklefish talking plushy. And “Please say aliens, please say aliens,” is one of my favorite sayings of his.

Wrap up

Yes, let me know what you think of this afterlife episode after you watch it.

Thanks ALL

Big thank you to my beautiful daughter and best son-in-law for sharing The Why Files with us. And thanks to my son and his girlfriend for sharing YouTube Premium with us so we can watch commercial free!

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL.

Yours in expanding, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

Integrating the Spirals to calm fears

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are fearful (the MSM pushes a lot of crap at us to keep us in fear). (For more about 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.

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.

Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

Review Season 4: Westworld – “In a perfect world…”

I have begun many sentences with the words, “In a perfect world…” and after watching Westworld it occurs to me that I wouldn’t want a perfect world.

Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of Westworld were my favorites. And I had sooo been looking forward to season 4! But, UGH!

Link to the season 4 episode list: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/episodes?ref_=tt_eps_sm

After viewing the last episode of season 4, this will be the last year I watch Westworld.

I’m giving up on the series, as I feel the story has completely taken a turn for the worse.

If it were a perfect world lonely — Be happy no matter what!

Have you been watching? What’s your take on season 4?

Season 3 had introduced Caleb (played by Aaron Paul, whom you may remember from Breaking Bad), to our delight! Aaron really impressed us during Breaking Bad, and we’d missed him. His character started off quite strong in Westworld too! But alas, by season 4, though Aaron’s acting was intense, the story just didn’t hold up for him. I was disappointed right off the bat, actually, but I stuck with the season to see if there might be another twist. Nope! And I don’t care for what the writers did to the stories of other characters either! Evan Rachel Wood lacked the depth, and good-nature of prior seasons (perhaps that was the point?), as there’s no humanity left! And Ed Harris’ “new” character was even worse to watch.

I guess we continued watching mostly for Thandiwe Newton and Jeffrey Wright’s storylines. Both actors continued playing their roles, though even their stories seemed to be weaker in season 4 than in past seasons.

Series seasons should build and improve upon characters’ strength and resilience, not let them fall flat. Sad.

If Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to go anything like Westworld has, I don’t think I’m going to be interested in it either.

Anyway, I just wanted to sum up where I’m at with this series since I’d written a little about it before: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/01/22/what-love-like-and-westworld-have-in-common/

That’s a wrap!

Movie Review: Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody

I loved the many Bohemian Rhapsody movie reviews I’ve read from my WordPress community! I haven’t written any movie reviews until… now! 😉

The following are my notes, written from that emotionally charged place (the goal of all filmmakers–to get you in touch with your emotions), after leaving the theater yesterday:

Initial thoughts after leaving the theater:

The emotion of it just hit me. I need some time…

Just beautiful! Really. Go see it! 😭❤️🦋🌀

20 minutes after:

As a long time fan of Queen since my teenage years, I loved it! And hubby (a musician, but not a long-time fan) loved it too, from story, acting, digital production, musicianship, music business, band family, etc.

Bohemian Rhapsody the movie was sooooo well done. Wembley is so amazing! My heart went right out of my chest! Freddie, Rami Malek was aWEsOMe!!! ❤️❤️❤️

An hour after:

The reporter scene is haunting me. Why the need to focus on Freddie? Get into his head? Psychoanalyze him? Ugh! An important moment that I hope people pay attention to the effects of all that. The production of that scene, oh!

Obviously, still processing this. Just go see it. ❤️😘

Three hours after:

Freddie’s sexuality and disease were handled with care, empathy, and compassion, and not exploited. In fact, the interview scene continues to haunt me.

The Wembley stadium Live Aid concert was amazing!!!

The film was more than accessible, highly engaging, and ultimately a profound story of unconditional friendship and love (of which. I feel Freddie approves). ❤️🦋🌀
