Never Too Late
October 31st – You weren’t here
It’s October 31st, 2024; We’ve got a new original modern country song on this Halloween to honor our family and friends on the Other Side. And to ease the grief of those who have suffered loss. Our hearts go out to you. Pro Nasheville singer, Tim Buppert provided the heartfelt vocals on this melodic original song. A wonderful radio ready, full sound production from Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
This is the three-hundred-fifth new music post for 2024! Yes, one of the things I teach in my Integrating the Spirals, is how to honor our ancestors and relations who have Crossed Over to the Other Side of The Veil. So, this time of year is very special to me. And this song, is also revered in our house.
We’re thinking of doing a few new things next year to help you get to know us better. Would you like to hear audio from Richard? Perhaps the way I used to post audio from me? Or would you listen to a podcast with Richard and me? Let us know in the comments. I know everyone is busy and have short attention spans, so before we go putting out the effort or spending the money on a podcast, I want to know what our audience prefers.
Caregivers and taxes
When Richard suffered a stroke in October of 2022, I found myself having to continue working full-time (thankfully, I worked from home), but also I became my husband’s caregiver. No, he didn’t need help with restroom activities, but I did have to take over banking and bill paying, and do all the cooking (Richard had previously cooked some special dishes, which gave me a break, but I had to learn how to make those or we wouldn’t have them). After the stroke, Richard couldn’t wash any dishes, or even take out the trash. He couldn’t drive or even ride comfortably in the front passenger seat next to me (it made him dizzy). I had to do it ALL. And while he felt bad that I had more workload on me, I just simply had to do it to keep us living in the standard we had become accustomed to. I didn’t begrudge this. He wasn’t a burden. But a tax credit sure would have been nice. (I had somehow thought I could quit my job and receive some sort of caregiver financial assistance from Social Security, but no, it doesn’t work that way.)
Thankfully, my place of employment reduce their demands upon my time but continued allowing me to work, until I could retire. That was a huge blessing to us!
And also, thankfully, two years later, Richard can take out the trash and recycle items. And he can even ride in the front passenger seat when my daughter takes us out.
You see, I have always done our own taxes and every year, when I plug my numbers in first, the software shows we’d get a refund. When I plug in Richard’s social security and pension, we always owed. He never felt it was right that we’d have to pay taxes on what was owed to him, Now, this will be the first full year that I am retired. We’ll see what the software says when I only have social security and Richard’s pension to plug in. I believe President Trump when he says he’ll give us a tax credit. Not that I’ll need it so much now, since I am not working, but it would just be nice not to have to pay any taxes on what we’ve earned over the course of our working lives.

October 29th – Blame it on the hurricane
It’s October 29th, 2024; We’ve got a new original story song today, sung by a female pro studio singer. This is another beautiful production by Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
This is the three-hundred-first new music post for 2024! I’m so proud of myself (not something I say often, as I am the most humble and ego-less person you’d want to meet), for being so consistent this year. I’ve been able to say what I need to say, and share one of our original songs everyday. Woo-hoo! And speaking of making my voice heard, this song brings up so much for me!
Richard wrote this song (he began it before and finished it after) he experienced an ischemic stroke in October 2022! We were going through a hurricane in Florida and our power was out for 8 days! We’d already gone through so much, having had our power off there for one reason or another before (4 times total outages in the two years we lived in Bradenton, FL), and we’d only moved THERE (to a furnished rented condo), because we’d been living Off Grid in the northeast Florida woods for 17 months in our RV. Richard had all he could take of ‘roughing it.’ So, we picked the particular condo to rent because it was a mile from a hospital and was supposed to be on the hospital power grid, and because the power lines were all underground. But THAT didn’t matter. It was another situation where we had made the best decision we could with the information we understood at the time. And yet, we were still wrong.
Do you remember The Rainmaker?
Did you ever that old movie with Matt Damon, Mickey Rourke, Jon Voight, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Mary Kay Place (one of my favorites), Virginia Madsen (whom we loved in Sideways), Roy Scheider, and even Randy Travis? It was called, The Rainmaker. Here’s more about the film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119978/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_2_cred_t_87
Watching that movie this morning, really got me thinking of how big money corrupts. And that a person can spend their whole life swimming upstream, fighting the ‘big bad companies,’ like the insurance companies, banks, chemical companies, and so on, and even if you win, you lose. I won’t ruin the end of the movie for you if you haven’t seen it. But I cried because it so closely resembled the fight my parents had in the early 1980s with the banks. I could write a script for movie about that, but who would care? What good would it do?
We see the evidence, or at least hints, of what’s going on all around us, but do we pay attention? And does it change anything?
I’m tired of ‘leading the horse’ to water. I’ll just leave the following right here, without explanation, and as each of us do, we can decide whether to believe or not. And if we ‘connect the dots,’ what then? What action do we take?
I gave up on Big Pharma after Western Medicine let me down in 2005. Actually, they let me down years before that, but 2005 was the last straw for me. I wrote about it in my holistic health book, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life. We tend to only open our eyes and see the truth of what’s going on when things hit home for us. When things impact us personally. It was after I began eating a raw vegan diet, and listening to people in the raw vegan movement, as well as, health practitioners who got slack from people in their churches for practicing Acupuncture, and massage therapists who studied World Religions, that I began to become aware that the world of health was sooo much bigger than I’d ever realized. And how much money my asthma specialists doctors had made off of the asthma I’d had from age 6 to my 40s. But I chose to say, NO MORE. They’ll get no more money from me.
Shocking – not to me!
Why does this NOT surprise me??? From 1440 News: https://join1440.com
And my comment follows this post:
And as far as research goes, that is even CONTROLLED by the Dogma of Science:
I don’t think President Trump will go far enough. Even with RFK Jr and Elon Musk. I think our country has already gone over the edge. And it’s so sad.
I always come back around the BALANCING though. For my own mental health. Don’t worry, tomorrow’s blog post will be lighter. I think! Haha!
Art class projects from Friday night and Sunday
My daughter and I went to an art class Friday night together and designed another ceramic bowl. She did a small one and gifted me a large bowl for my Christmas present. I chose lapis blue this time. You can’t see the blue yet though, until after it is fired in the kiln. And then Sunday, my son-in-law, daughter, and their twins (our twin granddaughters) went back to the art studio and painted molded ceramics. It was the art studio’s Halloween party, and the owner even dressed us an Axolotl! She went outside and waved at passing vehicles and offered to hand out candy too. Most people smiled at her and honked their horns, but I didn’t see anyone stop for the candy. She danced though! And I thought to myself, “How great is this! She can have fun no matter what”!

MSG and low sodium diet
My friend and WildFit coach, asked me to give a rundown on all the many names for Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) some time back and I promised it would be the next blog article. Then I buried the request in my TO DO blog folder and completely forgot about it. But I opened that folder this weekend and decided, girl, I had better get on THIS! Ha!
If this is a controversial subject for you, I offer my humble apologies in advance. I had NO IDEA the topic of MSG was considered racist at all! So, I am not offering this information to be racist and please don’t take it that way. Of course, I cannot control how you will read (or listen) to this article, as we each see life through a unique lens and can choose which Science to follow–yes, there’s more than one school of thought and dogma in Science.
If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a couple BONUS comments on the audio):
My (FDA) Analysis
Turns out as I began reading the first article to dig into the research, I knew what I was reading looked familiar. So, I jumped over to my other blog and sure enough, TA DA! I’d already written a blog article on this a few months ago! https://beingwhollyvibrant.wordpress.com/2023/07/21/all-you-need-to-know-about-msg/
I love it when a plan comes together. This is why I blog too, so if/when I forget, I can simply do a word search on my blog to find out if I’ve previously researched something. And in this case, go figure, I had! So, let me take the opportunity to tell you what foods we no longer consume anymore because they raised my hubby’s blood pressure too much.
High sodium foods (or ones that contain too much MSG) we no longer eat
Veggie fried rice from a restaurant – Lesson learned awhile back. We thought limiting Richard’s portion of this would allow him to be able to eat it without an issue. But after he ate 1/2 serving on one day and the other 1/2 the next day, we had to take a trip to the Emergency Room. I’m not sure exactly what was in the vegetable fried rice, but we decided not to chance it anymore. It’s not something I usually eat either, so this really only means he can’t order it anymore. I do make plain rice at home and I use coconut aminos so he can have a bit of that umami flavor. And I can stir fry some vegetables too.
Canned soup – The sodium of canned soup is simply ridiculous. I do NOT understand why it has to have so much salt in it, but it was one of the first foods we stopped buying after hubby had a stroke.
Condiments – We stopped buying regular soy sauce, barbecue sauce, ketchup, and mayonnaise some time ago, mostly due to the sugar content, but we even stopped by low-sodium soy sauce due to the sodium and MSG in it. Plus, soy in general has been so bastardized (affects hormones) that we quit buying it YEARS ago. I do buy Primal Kitchen sauces but not regularly due to the cost and that we can live without these, so they are a treat when I do buy them.
Frozen meals – This had been something else we had went a bit overboard on after we moved from the Off Grid property and had an oven and microwave again. I will always feel these contributed to Richard’s stroke, even in some small way.
Packaged noodles – Richard loved Udon noodles and I used to buy them once or twice a month for him. Not anymore! Again, most of the salt comes from the seasoning packet, so if you buy these, just throw the seasoning away.
Seasonings – We switched to Mrs. Dash and a few other smaller companies that make and sell no salt herb seasonings in a jar. I sprinkle it on foods while I cook and use these sparingly. Everything else we used to use, like Cajun Creole seasoning mixes, we quit buying.
Dining out – Yes, we also limit which restaurants we go to as well. We learned that our nearby diner has a brown gravy that is loaded with sodium, so we never order it. We don’t order any casseroles either. We stick to foods we can identify and ask for the low-sodium option like, marinara sauce. We limit our cheeses, and say no to parmesan, but we know eating at restaurants can be dicey.
We simply limit how often we go out. And of course, now, we walk everywhere so that helps a lot!

Oh, it’s gonna be a great day! Meaningful numbers
This post describes my feelings when I encounter meaningful numbers. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
I opened my WordPress (Jetpack) app a few minutes ago to this happy synchronicity:
Those are meaningful numbers to me.
And then…
I just taught a stroke survivor (my dear husband) how to copy an email and send it as a reply to someone via text on his iPhone!
YAY for an accomplishment!!
On my day off.
And before I was out of bed.
Before setting out to shower.
Before grabbing my laptop to work on getting my book finalized for print and ebook in Kindle Create. Because that’s what I intend to do today/tomorrow.
I worked 99 hours in the last nine days. Ugh.
But my boss told me, “take the rest of this week off” at 1pm yesterday after my very small team and I got a federal government contract proposal submitted ON TIME 4 minutes before the government deadline! Talk about cutting it close!
I have learned there’s no such thing as “catching up on sleep.” My body is still exhausted.
But I am getting my laptop now. And I will take a shower in a little while. Oh, and make breakfast.
p.s. WordPress sent me this the other day as I was editing a post on Grammarly. Aww! It’s my 11th anniversary on WordPress! WOW! I’m celebrating!

Disappointed in FPL Response to Hurricane Ian
First, for a bit more background read my previous article: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/09/30/aftermath-from-hurricane-ian/
On 9/28/2022 we lost our electric power at 11AM in the morning, just a few hours after hurricane Ian brought the first bands of wind into Bradenton, Florida.
Our 55+ community in Bradenton, Florida has underground utilities (no power poles or lines) and sustained no building damages from Hurricane Ian, except some broken tree limbs and a few trees downed from high winds.
Would you think we would be out of electricity for 8 days by looking at these images???
Instead of merely complaining, I offer some questions and potential solutions to improve Florida Power & Light (FPL) customer relations.
55+ Communities deserve priority
Why FPL should prioritize 55+ communities
One reason people buy into 55+ communities is so we have LESS WORRIES about exterior building maintenance, lawn care, utilities, and so on. The people who bought houses and condos in our 55+ community in Bradenton, Florida did so in part because the neighborhood is a half mile away from a trauma center hospital and is supposed to be on the hospital power grid, as well as because the community has underground utilities, no power poles and lines to detract from the beauty of nature we all enjoy while walking, swimming, playing tennis, and such. Most of us have worked our butts off to enjoy a few twilight years!
FPL has a monopoly on providing electricity in our county and many other Florida counties. Free country, right? Believe that if you want, but it sure doesn’t seem to be. And free speech? LOL Oh, that’ll have to be another post. I went on the Facebook FPL page to express, not just our disappointment but to offer potential solutions and more people called me names than supported my statements. What kind of world do we live in now? I’m trying to raise awareness and fight for what’s fair and right! Where’s FPL’s honor to its elder customers? My husband says he will NOT be paying our bill the day it comes out anymore. We will wait until the DUE DATE from now on. (That’s one way to get FPL’s attention, I guess). They sure don’t prioritize power restoration based on who pays their bills first!
FPL must improve their communications to customers
FPL must improve their communications so people can learn when their power (within 2-3 hours) will be restored. Don’t fail us by taking FIVE DAYS to tell us anything and then overestimate by five MORE days! Come on!!
FPL must improve on restoring power to those with underground utilities
Speaking of those underground utilities, how can a community with underground electricity lines lose power? And for 8 days? I’d love FPL to answer that question. Did they turn it off intentionally??? Did a power station have an issue that fed electricity into our grid? And why is only a small part of our community on the hospital grid and not our WHOLE community?
Did FPL “harden” their equipment to help prevent power outages, as they were supposed to after the hurricane Irma lawsuit? FPL was charged with providing their customers continuous service even during foreseeable wind events by implementing storm hardening improvements. Are underground lines considered part of that plan?
The four bulleted list action plan on the FPL website is sorely lacking. And we all know, even if a company has a plan and processes, it doesn’t mean employees and staff are following them!
Why we took action
We wrote to FPL, many state legislators, our community association (because they were inept!), and other civic leaders to express our sincere disappointment and frustration with FPL, as well as our community association (who could have done more, in the ways of notifications, buy a deep freezer just for these occasions so residents can freeze food, etc. have a hotline to FPL, or such). And I’ll be sending this to the Florida Public Service Commission.
Our homeowners association didn’t notify residents that power was on in the community clubhouse building–we had to learn that by stopping in to the office to ask if THEY may have had an update from FPL (more than the nothing kind of messages on the FPL website and app) or put in calls to them because FPL gave NO INFORMATION on when our power might be restored for FIVE DAYS!!!
Our Florida state governor stated multiple times in Live videos we saw prior to the hurricane, Florida was getting 20,000 additional linemen. However, we didn’t see ONE power truck in our neighborhood for FIVE DAYS! Nor do we know when they arrived because once we finally got the news from the FPL website that we wouldn’t have power for an additional five days, we left and went to a hotel that had power in St. Petersburg, FL! We had to wonder if they drove right by because all our utilities are underground! We’re also disappointed because this was our FOURTH power outage within a year of living here (and we were somehow led to believe when we rented this condo that we were on the power grid with the hospital), which we’re NOT!
Someone isn’t doing their job at FPL (and at our community office). And yes, many of the 600+ residents here aren’t happy about it.
When we went to our 55+ community clubhouse building to charge medical devices and other necessities, every available power outlet was in use (many elderly ladies were charing their phones, iPads, tablets, and more because their whole building had the power out). But here’s the thing. Every month someone comes around to hand deliver a community calendar to us, and each resident, but NO ONE came around to see if residents were okay, or tell us that the clubhouse had power! I can understand they only have one fridge and it was full (so they put a note on it to tell people not to cram in more–imagine!) BUY ANOTHER FRIDGE or DEEP FREEZE!!!
We are certainly glad we didn’t experience the horrific damage that cities and areas south of us, or all the way across the state over to Daytona Beach where they had flooding (friends of ours house flooded in Port Orange), and of course, we’re sad that more than one hundred people have lost their lives to hurricane Ian. It’s all tragic. All we can do is learn from this experience.
Potential for Lawsuits
After reading this: https://www.wlrn.org/news/2022-01-04/judge-says-hurricane-irma-outages-qualify-for-class-action-lawsuit-against-fpl
I believe there will potentially be lawsuits surrounding the poor communication and length of power outages after hurricane Ian. FPL makes millions of dollars off the backs of the people. Had Edison not beat out Tesla back in the day, we ALL would have had FREE POWER a hundred years ago! So, the people are mad. The people are frustrated. And especially us Boomers (Baby Boomers) who have a memory of past hurricanes and did our best, we pay attention, and we take ACTION when we know we’re being taken advantage of. I’m quite sure our neighbors will be voting in new board members soon in our 55+ community association. Unfortunately we can’t vote on who runs FPL.
Do you agree? If you don’t, call me what you will, but I am not simply complaining, I’m taking action because I can, for our elder neighbors. I believe in education and sharing.
There was really no excuse for FPL’s lack of communication and getting it so wrong, telling us five days after the hurricane we’d have to wait another five days, then surprisingly turning our power back on in a couple more days, which caused us to have to leave a hotel a day and a half after checking in and carrying belongings in/out etc. And THAT stress and over exertion brought on my husband’s stroke on 10/6/2022 (more in next article about that).
We suffered mental duress and physical strain, again culminating in my having to call 911 two days after returning home from the hotel, because my husband couldn’t walk or talk properly. At the hospital we learned he suffered an ischemic brain stem stroke. I maintain that happened due to the stress and extra physical exertion lugging stuff in/out of the community clubhouse to recharge things, and then to a hotel with a day and a half (we would have stayed at home had FPL told us they would restore our power by Monday evening instead of 11:45PM on the Wednesday following the storm. I think a class action suit should ask for pain and suffering damages as well as lost profits (I had to take vacation time when the power went off, as well as to be in the hospital after my husband’s stroke), loss of perishable foods, hotel cost, gas, and more. FPL has collected money from customers to strengthen power systems, I’d sure like to know if that happened because it didn’t help us.
55+ communities need power restored first with care facilities and hospitals!!! It was unacceptable for our neighbors to be without power 8 days (FPL had said it would be 10 days)! These folks paid more for their condos because they have underground utilities! That and the fact that someone said or inferred we were on the hospital grid is why we moved to this particular community. One thing is for sure, we’ll be moving to another town, probably in the northern Florida area by August of 2023. I’ve already got a couple of realtors looking for something small for us.
Book progress
I have a NEW metaphysical book coming out SOON! Stay tuned. I’m in the final formatting process of the book, but was slowed due to my “love of my life” husband’s stroke and needing to be with him at the hospital because I love him and to be an advocate for him since it affected his speech. But I’ll post another article when it’s ready, be sure of it.
I have a passion for WORDS and Connecting people. In particular, I love speaking and writing about spiritual and consciousness raising topics, holistic wellness and simple healthy living. I am empathic, intuitive, compassionate, and kind, with a keen and unified wisdom about life.
I am passionate about
Conversations surrounding emotional balance, moral ambiguities, and deep spiritual truths (such as We Are All Connected, and Put Your Hands Together When You Pray), are what Sheila is most passionate about.
Sheila feels a profound empathic Connection with people and what they’re going through by merely sharing her own truth, speaking freely about her personal struggles, and shares authentically about the challenges she continues to overcome. Sheila strives to ease lonelines, strengthen the will of those exiting toxic relationships, remind us all that we are stronger than we think we are, and that eventually, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.
