Going to be on a new podcast; plus a couple sketches and conferences

I’m going to be on a new podcast this Wednesday! I’m so excited!! I’m new to Julia and she’s new to me, having met through Gina Virginia Casella (see end of this article for more regarding her Dragon Dreamers conference on June 13th). And from what I’ve seen on Julia’s channel, I should fit right in! Ha! You’ll have to watch some and see what you think!

Julia’s based in the UK (check out her podcast at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dxSbUUxHo5XlWhf9G4ltQ

I particularly liked this episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfO14zHCLCE

I Am Infinite Awareness; a Fractal of Omniscience. And so are YOU. We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey

I’m working on a new video book review, part 1 for the daily devotional I’ve been reading (that was a gift from my best friend since 4th grade), Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Next, I’ll do a video book review, part 1 on The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. After that, I’ll get one done on Russell Brand’s new book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days. I’ll then circle back around to finish up the 2nd part of my review of Jennifer Carey’s book, Illuminating the Stories that Bind Us. The link to the part 1 video book review of it is: https://youtu.be/NtHNcOlCOMY?si=7ChQiP-m-6CXrKDM

New Movement – Vanja’s Moves Method

After prayer, I began seeing a LOT of video ads from a gal in Australia named, Vanja. Perhaps you’ve seen those ads too, where she squats, and hangs, does splits, and all kinds of things. She’s incredibly flexible and STRONG! Of course, she’s much younger than ME, but she says she’s taught people much older than me how to get their mobility back! Ha! I didn’t believe it at first, but after watching more and having a one hour discovery call (which I did NOT buy into their personalized training program).

I did spend $27 on Vanja’s “toolkit,” which is why they routed me to have that one hour discovery call, and that toolkit gives me the beginner movements to follow to see if I like how they train. If nothing else, I’m looking at this as a way to replace the Pilates class I used to go to when we lived in Florida. And other than buying one piece of equipment to hang on, I won’t have to make any other purchases. I’m building my belief in this because every day, I’m squatting more and for longer time (seconds still at this point), and I’ve lost an inch off my waist–in 5 DAYS! I don’t weigh myself, I measure. But when I get my blood labs done the end of June, I’m sure they will tell me how much I weigh. Ugh.

Here’s the first few video “shorts” of the training I’ve been doing:

Unsolicited Radio is now on Rumble!

Our Unsolicited Radio channel is still rolling along, though I have had some ridiculous arguments with YouTube, so I’ve began adding all of our videos onto Rumble! I won’t muck and mire about YouTube, but I am NOT happy with THEM!

Crossovers music show #1: https://youtu.be/tzc56nat5BM?si=rMNWOINYVH2Oto6H

Crossovers music show #2: https://youtu.be/ojn1hHglOGc?si=w3KUBqbwQhSPJnbt

Crossovers music show #4: https://youtu.be/8CPi63KtbLY?si=3DL3dPSRruQ9UnPj

Follow me on Rumble via link at the very bottom of this article and yes, all four of these radio shows are now on Rumble. I’m working on 6 more crossover shows and a couple of pop music shows too! So very busy!

Couple sketches

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: https://creativeartworksblog.com and this first sketch is one I liked of hers from a while back that I’ve shared a sketch of before but that I thought I could improve. So, I drew this again and colored in with the oil pastels. Now, the big difference is that there’s no line between her face and neck. LOL Yes, little things make me happy!

Next, I picked up this sketch at our local sushi mart and have no idea who drew it. But I was drawn to it and so, I took a photo of it and sketched it at home. I will show the employees at the sushi place next time we go and see if they like my version.

Attended 2-Day Better Way Conference

I’ll simply say that this entire weekend I was immersed in the Better Way Conference via a virtual ticket. The conference was held in Rhode Island and I’d learned about it via Dr. Bruce Lipton (though he was not a presenter there). People I’ve followed for YEARS were involved and the incredible information learned, both from the speakers and insights that dropped into my mind while watching and listening will become a SERIES of blog articles, so stay tuned!

Holistic health information was shared, receipts proving studies and some of the former so-called conspiracy theories were brought front and center, and ways we can ALL work to find a better way through to resolve any health issues were discussed and debated. Shocker, NOT everyone agreed on EVERYTHING either. And that’s always true when it comes to health SCIENCE, but all ideas, perspectives, and philosophies were HONORED and RESPECTED and THAT’S why I LOVED this entire two-day conference and want to be more involved for the next ones… and there will be more as they are offering a FREE franchise!

Here’s the link where you can grab a copy of, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I’ve now sold several copies, even one to someone in Australia! So, I’ve made $40 from Amazon. I’m still working on reformatting the book though so hopefully the paperback version will print better. I’m still aggravated with how some people’s paperback copies had blurry print, even one told me the print looked like the printer had began running out of ink! Ugh. If that happens, get your money back from Amazon. I want you to have a readable copy!

I have restarted JIGGLE WIGGLE!

Yes, there are a couple of new video “shorts” on my channel now for JIGGLE WIGGLE, so be sure to check in there and check those out. I’m starting out S-L-O-W and incorporating the rehab exercises I’ve learned to work/stretch my back muscle (that runs from back up/around shoulder), the low back muscles that can cause sciatica pain, and the outer calf muscle in the leg that runs down and around the ankle and feeds he nerves of the toes!

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease 
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. 
  • And to question EVERYTHING!

Here’s where you can access my YouTube channel videos: https://youtube.com/@spiralsister

Building boundaries so we don’t absorb too much, especially for empaths; plus radio shows and sketches

Empaths are sponges and until we learn that we can either build boundaries to not absorb what we don’t want, yet, OR we come to know that EVERYTHING works FOR our good, either to grow us or glow us like a slow burn candle… well then, we may FEEL too much (too much emotions), or react inappropriately and turn others off. And when we turn others off, it may take us YEARS (if ever), to reestablish those relationships–whether friend or family, such as when adult children cut off their parents because their parents have come on too strong (even if the parents think they’re good intentioned). Ah!

I’ve been learning a lot while reading all three of the following books (at the same time, I rotate them on a daily basis, and study (not simply read) them. I’ll be doing video book reviews on each of them, per my notes in the margins, and already completed one (part 1) of this one by my friend, Jennifer Carey. Here’s the link to it: https://youtu.be/NtHNcOlCOMY?si=7ChQiP-m-6CXrKDM

As well, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche, and Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I’m also reading How to Become a Christian in Seven Days by Russell Brand. It’s enlightening and entertaining as well. I’m not sure I’ll do a video book review on it though–let me know if you’d be interested in seeing that. I’m reading it on my phone at night before I sleep, so I’ve not been taking notes. (I sometimes nearly laugh out loud though! I muffle myself because if I woke Richard up with my laughing HE would NOT be amused.)

Current happenings

I’ve been continuing to see my naturopathic doctor to resolve the toe issue, or should I say, toes plural issue, but that doesn’t sound right when I say it. And I tweaked my arm the other night when I went to our eldest granddaughter’s last choir/band concert of the school year! Ugh. Why didn’t I say NO to going? Why did I change seats TWICE at her boyfriend’s request? Apparently, my daughter was right when a day previous to this experience she told Richard that I (me) just cannot say, NO! Go figure. And then the Universe proved it to me. I don’t say NO nearly often enough! Lesson learned.

And here’s the update to a video I did two months ago, but I added screen titles to illuminate my lessons learned regarding these physical issues: https://youtu.be/DGpYUK4tqKA?si=9oTUpwsIEwhCTGi6

As well, I’ve been watching several of these Gina interview shows via her “Buy Me a Coffee” portal:

Now, we’ve got three more music radio livestream shows for you to watch/listen to, if you haven’t subscribed to our Unsolicited Radio channel already:

Country music show #2: https://www.youtube.com/live/LGUBBK45lG4?si=ij0iJ5XxOIVTl39C (The link to the first country music radio show was on my last blog article.)

Rock music show #1: https://www.youtube.com/live/2E-0gl-9x7I?si=CtqOFGtcmeZR7ZNq

Blues/Reggae show #1: https://www.youtube.com/live/_wIhuVPJP-4?si=e3NfsIhrcm_I9t68

AND

Country music show #3: https://www.youtube.com/live/H9QuCVygbWo?si=n7wXukdFW37R21ia

Richard is several shows ahead of me and I am working feverishly to get all the parts and pieces together in iMovie on my now, very overworked, MacBook Air, to livestream all of these shows. Sometimes my MacBook will spontaneously shut down and reboot in the middle of a livestream and the show ends abruptly! Not good when one is trying to launch a new YouTube channel and gain subscribers! But I suppose that’s a “first world country” kind of issue that no one really wants to hear about. I might have to buy a new laptop soon…

My last sketches

As you know, I continue to use my friend, Linda Lewis’ sketches as models–follow Linda at: X Yes, I continue to practice sketching. And yes, while I’m monitoring our livestreams of the radio show, that’s when I do my sketching. I can’t work on my laptop while the shows are live-streaming, so it makes sense. And I enjoy these. Richard also asked for one based on one of his artworks too, and he surprised me by using Photoshop to integrate my sketch INTO his art! Wow!

My “shrines” sketch, based on Linda Lewis’ sketch model.
And after coloring my sketch with oil pastels and black marker. I did use my laptop to show this model from Linda as I worked on it over several days. I typically use my iPhone to view the model sketches. – See Linda’s blog article: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/05/07/thursday-5-7-2026/
I’m very happy with this “shrine” sketch all colored in. Thanks so much to Linda for the original Thailand shrines sketch! See: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/05/07/thursday-5-7-2026/
A Linda Lewis original sketch from her post: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/04/29/wednesday-4-29-2026/
My copy or version of Linda’s cowgirl hat sketch. That white spot within the green thing is supposed to be her right hand. I know. I’m not good with hands. But I’m learning. I nearly didn’t leave room for her feet either! LOL I did enjoy trying to do this sketch though, and Linda always tells me that’s what is important.
Richard gave me one of his wolf art prints and asked me to “draw it like a child would.” Well, THAT was easy. Ha! LOL! (because I do draw like a child!) This is what I gave him.
Richard incorporated my wolf sketch INTO his wolf artwork! Ha! I think he’d had someone complain about his original wolf looking too much like their photographer’s work, so he removed the offending wolf, but I’m probably not supposed to talk about that story… so shhhhh! Haha!

Now, whew! How’s THAT for balancing perspectives?!?

Integrating the Spirals: Marker and oil pastel sketches to honor our connections

I’m sharing two more sketches my soul-sister, artist, and connected friend, Linda Lewis of Thailand (previously from Arkansas) has shared on her blog. Linda and I continue to uncover more ways in which, We Are All Connected. And sometimes it’s almost scary how many levels and ways we DO connect! I will continue to share sketches every so often of the ones that I enjoy drawing and coloring, as Linda is always encouraging me to find the JOY in each and every artistic endeavor I take on. Thank you sooo much, Linda!

See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – as I read Linda’s articles about her daily life, her visits with her dear husband (who’s in a nursing home), and their son, who’s been so brave and steady in the face of the changes his parents have had during this last year or so–taking on the task of moving them from Arkansas to Thailand and all the minutiae of paperwork, organization, and care that has went into that! I honestly believe he’s provided a herculean effort that most wouldn’t even consider much less accomplish with so much love and compassion that I’m taking a big breath just to imagine!

I want to honor our connections on this lovely Mother’s Day. It could be any day though. Because after reading four exceptional articles from The Realist Juggernaut this morning, I am finding that honoring our connections (both current and past from our lineage and family ties), is what’s most important in life! Thank you, John, for these articulate and deeply profound posts that certainly, I will be reading again tonight and sitting with for a long time. I hope others will find them validating and valuable as well:

Health update

The naturopathic doctor used myofascial release and other soft tissue releases to continue working on my left foot, knee, and hips. I’m getting a bit more range of motion when attempting to lift my big toe, but we’re not there yet. I wonder, but hope, I’ll get full use of it again. I’m in no pain with it, so there’s that. It is numb on the inner half of big and second toe. But the sciatica is nearly gone in my back, thus I cannot complain. I have not resumed dancing yet, though I plan to soon!

Continued Forward Motion

I’ve been busy getting ready for Gina’s conference. I’ve done everything on the checklist for her, but I am continuing to refine and practice my keynote speech. I’ve also been building connections with the other guests she’s had on her podcast and previous conference, as well as the other guests on this upcoming June conference. Be sure to follow Gina’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella

We’ve been watching the three Lord of the Rings films and now, the three Hobbit movies. I must say, my husband and I stay entertained! And I’m nearly complete on reading Russell Brand’s new book and I’ll review it in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

Continued prayers for a Facebook acquaintance (her sister, sister’s husband, and niece were in a head on car crash). The crash killed the unobservant driver. Her sister is an organ donor and being transferred to another hospital to keep oxygen flowing to her body–it’s been a traumatic last few days as she’s asked her readers to pray for a miracle, but now, it seems as she’s found some peace in knowing her sister’s organs will aid 8 other people to live more fully. She’d been angry at the hospital at first for not following the family’s wishes–they did NOT want the brain test to see if she was brain inactive. And you know me, I do not give up hope for anyone until we’re in the ground. She’s now simply asking people to stay more present with family and friends. And aware while driving. I agree. None of us know when our end will come.

Also, continued loving vibes and prayers to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael and his family in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com), as his half sister is recuperating from an incident in Idaho. We know physical distance makes things more difficult.

Integrating the Spirals: More brush tip marker and oil pastel sketches to usher in Spring in New England

I’m continuing to play and sketch per my soulie sister type friend, Linda Lewis from Arkansas, who now lives in Thailand–she’s a lifelong artist. And we connect on many levels. So, I’m sharing two sketches I did, following her painted sketches as models.

See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – Each of her blog articles that I used as a model are included below the images:

Per my husband’s suggestion, I used dual-tip brush markers to fine line some details and color in the darker portions. I began the sketch and colored in using oil pastels, so I changed up my process a bit. I think it worked better. Linda suggested I sketch with a pencil and use an eraser as needed. I may do that soon, as I goofed on the second sketch and had I drawn it with a pencil first, for sure I would have fixed that elbow! Ha! But I’m not aiming for Perfection, so there’s that.

Happy Spring! We’re enjoying one of our first 60+ degree days here in New England (New Hampshire, USA). And it’s been sunny too! We had some warm days before this but then they were rainy days. Ugh.

Classes

I did a two-day online class with Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi this week on AI. I learned a couple things but mostly, it was a waste of time. I did a lot of chatting during the presentations though (they streamed it with canned applause, which I don’t like), but when they got to the sales spiel, I turned it off. I went to try the first thing “animate this” on Google Gemini and it wanted to charge me $3.99 a month (for the first two months, then it would cost $7.99). No. There’s too many AI apps to choose from for me to pay anything of them–and hubby pays for ChatGPT so if I really need something that badly, he’ll use that to create it for me. I just wanted to test what I’d learned and wanted to animate my book cover to see what it would do. I wasn’t going to pay Google (of all companies) to test the new prompt. Ugh.

I then also took a five-day online class with Dr. Sue Mortimer. She sort of does what I do in Integrating the Spirals, and so it was neat to get a new fresh take on the whole breath work thing. And she is an excellent presenter. I simply have my hands into too many things to sign-up and pay for anything right now. Thus, I took these free classes to sort of see how I align with them. I liked Dr. Sue, but I am sitting with a couple of things she said as I wouldn’t present “the soul” the same way she does. And that’s okay. Just different. Dr. Sue has great things to say to us, heady people. And as you know, and as many of you are too, when one is an analyst, writer, researcher, philosopher, and/or intellectual, we sit a LOT! And she did a good job of explaining how we need to bring our breath INTO our bodies (using central channel breathing). Again, her presentations were worthwhile. I’m thankful for the ripples she puts out into our world!

As for Tony Robbins though, I’m thankful he feeds so many people. But I think he’s off my radar now. I put some opinion on Facebook. I don’t know if I should post it here. But let’s just say, bottom line, he’s a trans-humanist. And I am NOT. I do not want nano bots injected into my body. He’s for that. You may wonder why he brought that kind of thing up while talking with a worldwide audience of something like 800k people, yeah, when it was an AI class. I wondered that too. It didn’t leave me with a good feeling. Sorry, Tony!

Health update

I’m done with the chiropractor, at least for now. The naturopathic doctor has helped me immensely just from ONE visit! I really must leave Dr. Paterson a Googe review because I am still amazed at how much better I feel, again, after just my first visit. I go back to him in a little over a week. He did something called myofascial and positional release (I think). At least I know he did myofascial release and then I looked up the last two words. He’s also a DOM, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and I’d thought he might use acupuncture on my left foot, but no, at least not yet. He was much more gentle than the chiropractor too, so there’s that. It’s almost like he must work on people who have rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia or such and can do so much good, even using a gentle approach.

I have movement in my two toes (big toe and second toe), though the inner portion/side of each is still numb–but there’s no pain–on the left foot now (I estimate about 40% improvement), and the sciatica pain has reduced about 75%! Plus, I ran out of nerve tonic and I noticed I don’t have nerve pain from the shoulder situation anymore. YAY! I plan on resuming dancing soon, maybe even, (gasp!), tomorrow!

In Progress

I’m also in the process of putting together a keynote speech for new friend, Gina Virginia Casella’s upcoming conference. I’m thrilled to do it and it’s been fun thinking of ways to explain Interconnectedness along with introducing my new book.

The podcast conversation we recorded the other day should be Live soon–I’ll keep you all posted. And I enjoyed the gemstone reading Gina gave me. You can see examples of how she does those, as well as find the last conference recordings at: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/

We finished the 8 Harry Potter movies and I’m drafting a review of these with a great title that just dropped into my head last night. I should have it out tomorrow.

As I said, I have my hands in a lot of things right now. Ha! Apologies as always for my lateness in responding to your comments. I do love reading your comments though!

I’m still reading Russell’s book and others, the new Tarot book came in and I’ve already been taking a look at it.

And let’s continue sending prayers and loving vibes to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael and his family in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com), as his half sister is recuperating from an incident and she lives far from him. I sure know that feeling when we lived so far from my daughter during that time in 2022 when my husband had a stroke. Distance makes things harder when there’s serious injury or illness within a family.

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body.
  • And to question EVERYTHING!

Integrating the Spirals: Easter sketch using brush tip marker and oil pastels

My award-winning artist husband suggested I use one of our dual-tip brush markers to do my sketch and then color in with the oil pastels, so this is the sketch project I worked on the other day for Easter. I am still learning so, be kind in your comments. My sketch is the second image that follows, Linda’s is the first (because it was the image I used as my model).

My friend, Linda Lewis from Arkansas, who now lives in Thailand got me started drawing/sketching) as a new hobby, and I’m really enjoying it! See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – This is the blog article that held the specific model I used for my sketch: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/03/15/monday-3-16-2026/

Happy Easter everyone!

Health update

My chiropractor said the numbness of the inner parts of two of my toes was due to the Extensor Hallucis Longus tendon. I have been able to get a bit of flex upward out of the toes since daily fascia blasting, massaging them and the foot with essential oil (Balance from DoTerra), as well as performing acupressure and red light therapy on it, AND using the tuning forks on it nightly before bed. I continue doing heel raises (sometimes called, toe raises or ankle raises), which I believe are helping too!

If you’re very curious, I found this link from the Mayo Clinic about the condition, but since I have no pain, only numbness and inability to lift those two toes, I’d say, thankfully, I must have a very mild case of it: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23126-extensor-tendinitis

The pain in my shoulder and down my arm has subsided again, thankfully! And yes, I had to take the herbal tincture again. But also, I found that my Therasage red light heating pad also has a TENS option and I had not ever tried that before. So, this last week, I’ve been using that! Wow! It really feels good and eliminates the sciatica pain for at least an hour or two afterwards. I can’t believe I didn’t try it for my shoulder! Just goes to show we can have solutions right at our fingertips and overlook them for one reason or another!

All of this DIY health stuff is only one example of the philosophy I teach and share in Integrating the Spirals. My motto is “Use what you have and what you know, and integrate into your daily routine in any way, preferably the easiest way possible.” Ironically, had I been talking about that Therasage pad more often, even in a Zoom session, I might have thought about trying the TENS option on it months ago! Alas, I am a student of my own philosophy for sure!

I offer Zoom sessions to talk through situations like this and give you ideas on when/how to integrate the physical tools and techniques, even software tools, for whatever challenges you’re facing–if you’re interested and open to it. Let me know in the comments.

Integrating the Spirals: NEW Drawing with oil pastels!

I got aggravated with my fountain pen the other day and jumped on Amazon to order some oil pastels and sketch pad to continue drawing and sketching without the mess of a pen that leaks ink all over my hand. And yes, I probably did something wrong with the pen that caused it, but for less than $20 I have easier tools to work with. Thus, I’ll probably sketch MORE! And isn’t that what we want? More doing and less aggravation? Yes!

My friend, Linda Lewis from Arkansas, who now lives in Thailand got me started drawing/sketching) as a new hobby, and I’m really enjoying it! See Linda’s painted sketches over at her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com

Last fountain pen sketch (using one of Linda’s sketches as a model); my husband really liked this even though I messed up on it a bit (line from neck to chest didn’t connect). –Sheila Murrey

Here’s a few of my oil pastel drawings:

Yin and yang symbol, butterfly, and spiral (all done from memory). –Sheila Murrey
Sky, water, land project using spirals. –Sheila Murrey
Hearts project. –Sheila Murrey
Sketch of the girl (Linda’s model I sketched with fountain pen earlier); I’m not very happy with it, but this is from memory using the oil pastels. I will improve! –Sheila Murrey

I’ll post another update on Tuesday or Wednesday to let you know what the chiropractor says about my two toes. I continue to do fascia blasting, and massage with essential oil (Balance from DoTerra), as well as use acupressure and red light therapy on it, and a bit of feeling is coming back. I also do heel raises (sometimes called, toe raises or ankle raises), and that may be helping as well.

That’s what I teach in Integrating the Spirals. Use what you know, and integrate the various techniques into your day. I think it’s easy, but some people need to talk this stuff through, and that’s why I offer Zoom sessions. More to come on that, but if you’d like to begin right away, let me know in the comments.

Integrating the Spirals: More Drawings

As I wrote previously, my friend, Linda Lewis from Arkansas, but now lives in Thailand has gotten me started drawing (or sketching). Linda’s much better version of this first sketch can be seen on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com/2026/03/08/sunday-3-8-2026/

I colored this in a bit after I completed my second drawing, which is next. And I used my fountain pen to draw all of these next images and markers to add the color:

Hamster / Beaver / Mouse / or Bunny. –Sheila Murrey
Apalala dragon wrapped around yin and yang symbol. –Sheila Murrey
Yin and yang symbol. –Sheila Murrey
Letters and little hand drawn items from memory. –Sheila Murrey
Neural map with heart and spiral. –Sheila Murrey

I don’t know how much more dancing I’ll be doing because now, I have an issue with two of my toes on my left foot. I don’t know if chiropractic will resolve it or not, but I am thinking it’s all due to the sciatica issue in my lower back. I checked on AI and have had several good comments about what it might be (from friends on Facebook), but I will go to see a podiatrist if the chiropractor can’t help it. It has me a bit concerned.

I must tell you that my dear husband has tried to take my mind off my foot by finding some intriguing movies for us to watch lately. Here are a couple of the best ones if you’re looking for something different:

The Life of Chuck:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12908150/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_0_in_1_q_life%20of%20

Cult Killer:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21151212/?ref_=fn_t_1

I can’t say too much without giving away the plots. But The Life of Chuck still has me thinking about it, all the little pieces that fit together, days later. It’s a Stephen King story, so there’s that. It’s very well written though in the beginning I was scratching my head because it begins with Act III. But I was crying by the end. It’s going to go down as being one of my favorite movies, if for no other reason than the dancing. You’ll see.

And Cult Killer is very timely with what’s been going on related to the Epstein Files. It stars Antonio Banderas, and that’s reason enough to give it a watch. I think it could have had a better name, but if you watch it, let me know in the comments what other name they could have given it.

My book comes out in paperback form in 2 DAYS, and yes, I’m very excited about that! I hope it does well. I would really like to pay off my credit card. Here’s the link.

Juggling for Exercise

A friend who lives in Indiana and travels regularly to Colorado is a juggler and also musician. He has recently began teaching juggling via Zoom! Our first class was loads of fun, and exercise! I hope he will continue to offer these classes. He’s working on his syllabus and researching the mind-body benefits, which I believe will be vast! I felt totally invigorated after my first lesson and am excited to learn more!
