My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers goes LIVE tonight at midnight, March 18th, 2026 (the 600+ page paperback that dives into quantum science, spirituality, and personal stories about connection. The book explores questions like “Are we really separate individuals, or fractals of one whole?” and “What does it mean to live as if connection is real?” If that’s your kind of rabbit hole, I’d love for you to read it. I’m sooo excited!!!

The book is large in scope. 600+ pages! MARCH 18th, 2026 –> Is Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. And that’s why I wanted to launch my 5th book on THAT DATE as a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

I owe a huge THANK YOU to Lauren Scott, who’s comment motivated every day these last few months to complete, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. Yes, every author needs motivation to complete their work.
I had been procrastinating for a YEAR, as my fellow author and blogger buddy Michael (80smetalman: https://80smetalman.wordpress.com and https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com ) will attest! Michael and I have been meeting on Zoom calls for more than a year, as he’s completing a second follow up book to He Was Weird, and I had been sitting on the manuscript for my 5th book for months and months. I was uninspired to finish it since my previous books were not selling and I’d been convinced it was due to Amazon algorithms pushing them down in the list. Ugh. But Lauren, wow! This one comment of hers helped more than I’d ever thought it could:
I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.
p.s. I go back to the chiropractor next Tuesday to see what he says about my two numb toes. I hope it’s nothing serious (and maybe only related to the sciatica, which I also hope he’ll fix), so I can get back to dancing again.
Integrating the Spirals
I’m encouraging those “over 60” to observe and gently question their thought patterns, pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’ to ease grief and suffering, and gain new perspectives–that’s why I teach Integrating the Spirals. AND I also encourage all of us to move our bodies more consistently (most of us are stuck in our heads and physically unhealthy because of it). We can do better! We can become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. And it’s healthy to expand our consciousness and question EVERYTHING! Just observe, don’t absorb.
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 sprinkled throughout.)

My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers is now available for preorder (the eBook / Kindle version) with the publish date of March 18th, 2026 for the 600+ page paperback. I’m sooo excited!!!

The book is large in scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!
And yes, today, March 8th is the anniversary of the day of my daddy’s soul departure–see my previous post regarding that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/ I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since my dad passed away. But he was the first thought I had this morning, and nearly jumped up to check what the date was today!

I asked about twenty friends if they recommended a trusted source for someone to work with me on getting any future paperback books into Kindle Create / KDP for Amazon publishing, but only one actually knew a person, one knew someone who had recently published but that person was unavailable to answer yet as they are on a cruise, and another suggested a publisher. When I told her I wasn’t looking for a publisher, they suggested a new software tool, which I think is going to be like Scrivener.
I already use Scrivener and think it could have probably did more for me to improve the formatting of my manuscript, but I am not an expert in it. Thus, I’m not going to try another new piece of software before becoming expert in Scrivener. And by the time I become an expert in that, I will either start charing money to teach others how to use it, or I will start churning out more books myself! Ha!
Again, the paperback book publishing date is: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it (though I am not sure if the eBook purchases count towards bestseller status, but it sure helps me financially), or set a reminder for yourself to order the paperback on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon.
I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.
p.s. I just got Richard to dance with me and put a couple different videos of that on YouTube at the link below. One is a full view of his music room and the other is a “short” that I had to record from off my laptop, because I couldn’t create a short from the full view video. One has to create and upload a “short” from their phone. Go figure! Limited technology.

I’m excited to tell you that I’m currently wrapping up the final touches on the formatting for Kindle Direct Publishing to launch this much anticipated 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I have been working nearly night and day the last several months to birth this incredible book and believe me, I’m beat! (I don’t think I have another book in me at this point!)
Meme: I created this in Canva. I actually do have a Visual Communications / Digital Design degree, from back in 2004. But though I have paid for Canva in the past, I didn’t want to pay them again and continue to have issues with the cover, so I hired a book cover designer on Fiverr. I’ll focus on making fun memes like this in Canva for free in support of launching the new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why, on March 18th, 2026!
If it doesn’t work yet, it will in a few days. I’m still making final page edits (to ensure new chapters start on the right hand side page, and that the headers and footers that KDP adds, will be removed, because I already have page numbers and book title on the manuscript that match the Table of Contents. Ugh! It’s such a process!
I’ve really been doing a juggling act (and I’m also learning juggling right now too, in another Zoom group I’m in), because I’ve also been on social media a bit more every day to market the book… here’s a few of my posts:
It’s a big scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!
Meme: My post on Facebook to announce the books launch date. –Sheila MurreyMeme: Earlier post to announce the launch of my 5th book, We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey
If I ever write another book, I will pay someone to do the KDP part. The older I get the less techie I want to be, though I did have to fix a book cover error that my Fiverr book cover designer couldn’t figure out today (and it didn’t help that KDP didn’t provide a REASON for the error, when it wouldn’t upload.) Ugh!
Screen capture: View of the book cover error in KDP. I still have no idea what was wrong with it.
But here you can see my comment to the Fiverr designer of what I did to fix the error and get the book cover file to upload successfully into KDP:

Another dilemma I have is that I wanted to print the paperback in color, that is, with a color interior so all of the images in the book will be in color. None of my other books had color interiors, and I really wanted that for this book. But it’s 630 pages in a 7×10 size. KDP will only print in color for books under 600 pages.
I will offer a Kindle version of the book (EPUB), and all of the images will be in color, so at least everyone will have that option. Plus, the ebook will be less expensive. I love ebooks to save trees! And searching through books for various things is sooo much easier too. Hehe!
Again, the book launch date as: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it or buy it on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon. I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.

It’s March 18th, 2024; Here’s an original funky pop song with a hook about loving ourselves–in that way. This is one of Richard’s favorite songs and the more we listen to it the more we smile! Haha! Are you curious? Buckle up, Buttercup! This is going to get loosey-goosey and a bit woo-woo!
Celebrating the story
Here’s the seventy-seventh new music post for 2024, as I consistently place an original song from Richard’s 400+ song catalog in front of your eyes and ears each day. This funky pop song takes me right back to Ireland and the tour bus ride out to Newgrange for the Winter Solstice event of 2019 (the last public event too, until last year–due to COVID).
I remember exactly how I felt when Edel (of Eriu tours) told me the captivating Sheela Na Gig story after asking if I knew the Celtic history surrounding my name. And no, I had never heard of the Sheela Na Gig before. Here’s a link to a previous post where I discuss it.
You can check my Pinterest page: https://www.pinterest.com/spiralsister1/sheela-na-gig/ if you have no idea what I’m talking about. I have even had a couple of the images shared on that page removed by Pinterest because they said they were explicit! Ha! So, there’s your warning. LOL
Lovin’ self and our connections
There’s a lot of talk out there in the coaching, self-help, and personal transformation world about self-love. And of course, we’re poking fun at that (a little bit), by putting Lust for Myself (the song) out into the world. But we love to laugh and have fun, so there’s that. Take it as you will.
The day following St. Patrick’s Day will be special to me because it’s Sheela Na Gig Day but also because it was the day my dad and I were to meet up (he’d asked me to put him on my schedule–a word he never used, but because I was always ‘busy, busy, busy’ (his words), we’d set a day aside for a visit. Unfortunately, Dad passed on March 8th, 2019. UGH
Meme: The only questions you need to ask yourself when you are feeling defeated or lost is, “Where am I not loving myself” How can I value myself more?” — Anita Moorjani (shared as a Facebook story from James Young)
I continue learning about my Irish heritage, Celtic Spirituality, and meditation. As an empath, spiritual teacher, advisor, minister, and confidante I love connecting with Omniscience God, Source, daily. It’s the highest and best use of my time and must always precede my writing.
I do take time every few days, to check in with enlightened others, and I switch them up as new ones cross my path. About a week ago, I was attracted to listen to Bashar. I knew I was being spiritually led to him because he also showed up on a Gaia event I’d registered to watch (for free). You can register and watch for free too, until March 26th, 2024 if you feel so inclined:
I listened to Darryl Anka who channels Bashar, last night. And then this morning, I watched Anita Moorjani’s presentation. I love her! I’ve followed Anita’s work since 2020 when we lived off-grid in the woods. I came to know of her as I was finishing up. Blue Eyes. I was stunned and thrilled at how much our stories aligned, though I’d simply had hypnosis and past life regressions–I didn’t have to die and have a Near Death Experience (NDE) to learn what she learned. I do teach different practices than she does, but our messages dovetail beautifully.
As for my take on Bashar, his style is a bit abrupt, but I learned some things from him last night. I connected with him immediately when he said, “If you feel alone, add an L. All one.” Aha!
I’ve said and written many times here in this blog and my books that loneliness is a lack of purpose. He seems to agree with that as he presents his guiding principles for living. The more I listened to Bashar, the more I felt the energetic rise in my vibration. I told you this was going to get loosey-goosey and woo-woo! Ha! I felt my consciousness expanding. I can’t judge you to say whether you’re ready to hear from him yet, but as Abraham always says, “For me right now, this is of value.”
Why I teach Integration
Meme: Sheila teaches: Breathwork, Meditation, Alternative Health practical at-home methods, Energy Medicine, Minimalism, Qigong, and how to appreciate being an empath and rediscovering ancient ways and the purpose for visiting sacred sites.
No one can change anyone. But we can offer guidance, inspiration, and hope! If someone is tired of being ‘sick and tired,’ they may be ready and open to change. I teach Integration because it offers ways to change while living our daily lives. It requires awareness and willingness. I began teaching Integration even before developing and codifying the practices into what is now, Integrating the Spirals.
I had to begin this work on and for myself–and you see? Now, we’ve come full circle to the song! Ha! I love it when a plan comes together.
My Stairwell story
One of the first things I integrated for myself was learning and using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). A few years after teaching that at a wellness center on the weekends, I learned Qigong. I was in a group class taught by a master lama. It was wild! It was a lot of work, but he taught our group in a bit easier way than how he’d learned it from the monks (whom he said could be brutal)!
And I learned why I needed both EFT and Qigong (and Pilates too, but I’m trying to keep this story short). I was working for a corporate company at the time and my work could be challenging and stressful. I used to go to the restroom to do EFT (where I had privacy in a stall). But one day, one of my coworkers mentioned that he would take breaks and climb the stairs. That gave me the idea to also go into the stairwell (not at the same time as he was climbing), and integrate my Qigong into my day–at the times when I was feeling the most stress. I now call this my ‘Stairwell story‘ and I don’t think I’ve ever written it up before, so thank you, Vicki (of Victoria Ponders) for reminding me to write it.
My soulie sisters
I’d love to send Happy Birthday wishes out to one of my first best friends, Susie. We don’t talk often, but when we do, it’s like no time has passed. We live many states apart, but I always feel connected to her. Our dads were friends, and we used to spend the night with each other when we were young. Oh, the memories. The favorite bands, songs, jeans, dolls, running from the bull (really!), and Susie teaching me stuff by writing on her chalkboard (I was always surprised she didn’t become a school teacher). I didn’t realize today was her birthday until I noticed her on the Facebook birthday list, and now I am sitting with this incredible synchronicity! This is a ‘full circle’ moment for me.
Another synchronicity today with Victoria Ponders. Screen capture of a Facebook post I wrote on this day, 8 years ago about birth being only the beginning!
I’d also like to take a moment to wish a dear ‘soul sister’ friend a very Happy Birthday. To Jacqueline: I’ll always remember our drive to Gainesville, FL when you told me that March 18th was your birthday, as I told you the Sheela Na Gig story and why it meant so much to me (since it was the date my dad and I had planned to visit, but he passed before we could). I remember feeling like I needed to stop the car! I felt the GodBumps! It was such a profound moment that it forever cemented our soulie sister Connection. Happy Birthday, Jacqueline. Discover Jacqueline and her ministry on Facebook with C.O.R. Center 4 Divinity.
Enjoy (IN Joy) and have fun! Be Everything All the Time.
May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! Here’s to loving ourselves more, choosing, growing, and living FREE!
Yours in expanding, loving self to love the world more, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
