I think I’m addicted to daily blogging! Ha! I must say it felt really weird not to wake up and start thinking about needing to write the daily music blog post.
But also, it felt freeing. It felt light. I guess the two hours or so I spent preparing, writing, editing, and propagating the daily music blog post out on 11 social media sites was something I got used to in 2024. It still feels odd to day that it’s 2025. At least I don’t write checks anymore, so I won’t be writing the old year on any of those! Ha!
One thing is for sure. On the days I’m not blogging this year, I’ll be reaching out to sound engineers and others who are looking for new music, as my husband, Richard Murrey, has sooo many potential hit songs ready for commercial use (Please subscribe to his YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/richardmurrey
I’ll also be sharing his new music videos that he continues to create. He’s really diving deep into the AI tool he bought.
Exploring Consciousness Expanding stuff
Is this a topic you’ll be interested in? Or should I focus more on any of the other new categories more? Here are all of the categories that interest me (and a couple that I teach on):
Balancing Perspectives
Expanding Consciousness
Self Reflection
Kaleidoscope Method
Mirrorball Perspectives
Moral Ambiguities
Multifaceted
Multiverse
Perhaps I should explain each one of them and do a light dive before doing deeper dives into each? Let me know in the comments. And do remember to have a super nice Happy New Year’s Day!
Now, why do you think I am so fascinated with Expanding Consciousness stuff? Well, I think it started when I was about four or five years old! I remember my mom being shocked when I asked where electricity came from, as we were driving one day and I was following the electric wires along the poles! As well, I was extremely fascinated with The Amazing Kreskin:
Amazing growth in the stats!

It’s December 31st, 2024; We’ve got TWO original fun songs for your New Year’s Eve and to finish out 2024 and this year-long self-challenge I’ve been on! Woo-hoo! We made it through the year! These two high vibe songs are big favorites of ours!
This is the three-hundred-sixty-sixth new music post for 2024! Adam Cunningham brings his fantastic vocals front and center on both of these original songs! Gonna Open a Bar is a rock country fusion and Tip Jar is a a bit more country song–but both are full of energy! And you get to hear both sides of his voice in these solid hits. Both of these hot original songs were recorded and mixed by the aWEsOMe team at Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
Gonna open a bar. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey
AND
Can you tell I’m excited to finish out this year-long, self-challenge? Haha! I am! I’m sooo excited! And new things are already beginning to happen…
Did you catch the blog article I published about an hour before this one? If you didn’t see it, here’s the link: https://sheilamurrey.net/2024/12/31/new-years-eve-2024/ I’d been reading (I forget from which blogger) that if you put a frog outside your door it will bring good luck in the new year. So, I’d mentioned to Linda of Handmade Haven by Linda on Etsy, that she might consider making a frog when she started a new wood burning project. And she did! She’s so great, she went for it and sent me a picture so as soon as she posted it to Etsy, if I wanted (no obligation), I could buy it! Free shipping too! Woo-hoo! Score!
I think I forgot something else. I never posted my completed hairy coo from a few months ago! Ha!
Can you see that I’m trying to tie up loose ends?
Photo: My bedside table displaying hairy coo painting and ceramic figurine – plus crystals and handmade flowers from the twins. A few of you will see things you recognize here, daily calendar from my ‘Sis’ Doris, shungite pyramid from Sherinata, ocean jasper and dragon lace agate from Stacy Royal, and infinity ‘8’ card from Debra. Sooo many people and places to remember and hold in gratitude. –Sheila Murrey
Reflecting on the year
After the numbers are in for the whole year, I’ll post my WordPress stats. But suffice to say, my readership is up, WAY UP over last year… and I know that’s because of EACH of you, opening, reading, and joining me in the comments (both on my posts and on yours), all through 2024! I’ve taken more time to read more posts thoroughly and thoughtfully comment. People know when others are REALLY reading, not just skimming their posts. I’ve honestly enjoyed getting to know my favorite bloggers this year and dive in deep with them.
I took a cue from Max over at PowerPopBlog to list each of you and your blogs to give you ALL props for encouraging me this year! Your comments and well wishes really do keep a gal focused and motivated! For sure! I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, if so, know you are loved, and I will add you (let me know, please)! A few of you, I’ve only just begun to chat with, so I’ll be sure and do this again at the end of 2025, Omniscience willing we make it that far. Tada! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!
Gray Summers (all around kindred spirit, songwriter, photographer, retired nurse, grandfather, and my Wales connection–his wife co-owns a health food store!): https://graysummerstwo.com
If I haven’t chatted with you for a while, just know that I have you on my list and it will happen. 2025 is my year for focused attention, and making more conscious time for chatting with you! Oh, and finishing up my 5th book. Ha! Yeah, there’s still THAT.
Aaron Abke
Okay, I might become obsessed with Aaron Abke. I’m now listening to his podcast episodes and finding a lot of value in them. I have said many of the things he talks about and I kind of have felt like I was on an island! So, I’m finding it all very exciting and thrilling that we’re on the same page, spiritually-speaking. I wonder if he’s read all of Shirley MacLaine’s books too? LOL Here’s one of his podcast episodes to get you started: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-abke-podcast/id1551862919?i=1000654095882
Here’s to an ever-expanding, enlightening, brilliant 2025 everyone! I wish you ALL a very Happy New Year!

It’s November 28th, 2024; We’ve got a vibrant and fun original song for you today! Adam Cunningham rocks this hot new modern country song with his rich vocals. An aWEsOMe song to go with your feast! Fantastic song production quality from the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
This is the three-hundred-thirty-first new music post for 2024! Please hug those near you and be thankful all day today!
I went to the movies last night with my daughter, Marie, and eldest granddaughter, Jenn. We saw Wicked. WOW! It did not disappoint! (Well, maybe a bit in the beginning when I thought we were watching Barbie instead of Wicked. Ha! And that it was only PART 1 and was still 3 hours long–yes, I’ve seen the Broadway play version too, so the movie expanded the story.) But Jeff Goldblum delivered the best line, “The Best Way to Bring Folks Together Is To Give Them A Real Good Enemy.” That immediately brought to mind many things that have happened in the last four years! I couldn’t believe it and I gasped! For more spoilers: https://screenrant.com/wicked-best-quotes/
I got to have a nice long phone conversation with my son, Matt, last night while I took a sauna. He was concerned for us, since we got our first snowfall last night and it’s about to get a lot colder in the next few nights. But he was also going through stuff, so we talked heart-to-heart. He misses me, and I miss him. But thank Omniscience we have technology and he can always read my blog to learn what’s going on with us. It felt like a warm hug for sure, though I did get emotional.
After that, I checked my email and replied to a soulie sister regarding family issues and more. She knows who she is. Wink! I’ll keep private things, private. HUGS! Today’s going to be an emotional roller coaster for many, I’m sure. But I am practicing what I preach. I’m hugging myself (inside and outside, wrap one arm over the other and hug–then switch so each arm gets a hug on top of the other). Don’t forget you’re aWEsOMe, no matter what happens. And don’t cry for things that can’t cry for you! That’s something my wonderful husband, Richard, has taught me over the decades. HUGS!
The turkey is almost done. My FIRST rotisserie turkey–ever! Whew! And I’m contributing Southern Baked Beans, Holiday bacon, cornbread, turkey gravy, two pumpkin pies (one spiked with bourbon), and banana bread. Also, two cheese balls and crackers. We sure have a LOT to be thankful for!
Thankful for our ancestors

Happy New Year, everyone! Oh, I sure hope this is going to be the year that turns life around for ALL of us–in a good way!
2023 is now behind us
2023 is now behind us and we can set some new intentions for this New Year of 2024!
Who do you want to hang out more with? Where do you want to live or visit?
What new things do you want to see or do?
Blessings!
Since we’re still here, still alive, we’re ALL blessed!
I’m working on my 5th book, We Are All Connected. It’s getting really interesting as I put the pieces together and think about a book cover. Of course, I’m also ramping up my email list to be able to communicate personally with y’all. (If you aren’t a follower of my blog but want to be on my email list, you can let me write me and let me know (shhh, here’s my new email address: info@sheilamurrey.net
News!
I’m deciding today on some new types of posts for 2024 and have decided to focus on posting about our original music each day! I’ll post here, and to my Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn to get more eyes and ears on our songs–I posted a song each day in 2023 on my Facebook page, but I’d also been working and caregiving for my hubby, so life got busy and I didn’t always post a song daily and ended the year by doing weekly or bi-monthly with a song for each day within one post. But I met my self-challenge at least! And since we have over 400 originals, I still haven’t gotten all of the songs posted to Facebook and will continue sharing there too, through January. Wink!
Speaking of a new year, let’s start it off with our newest song, A man:
Thank you! My blog stats have increased by 72%
Thank you, ALL! My blog stats have increased by 72% over last year and it’s all due to ALL of you reading and sharing my posts–and because you were kind to let me reblog and share your posts! What a difference a Connected life brings!
My blog stats have increased by 72% over last year!
I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled I was to note the increase in readership and participation! Whether you read a few words or an entire blog article/post or listen to the ones I’ve added the audio to, I’m humbly grateful you are here. And from sooo many countries all over the world!
I’m excited about this new year that begins today. I’m eager to continue expanding my consciousness, and yours, and Connecting with many more of you–especially now that I’m retired! LOL YIPPEE!!!
Yours in expanding, celebrating-the-new-year, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

What I am known for
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.
Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.
My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through 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.

About us
My husband is an award-winning illustrator, plus he’s a seasoned guitarist, bass player, and songwriter (with over 400 original songs). You can view some of his artwork and listen to all of his songs at: http://listen4music.com
I would love to speak at your bookstore, crystal shop, acupuncture/chiropractor office, natural health foods store, art fair, music, or yoga festival. I support healthy lifestyle businesses.
I’m an Amazon bestselling author of two co-authored books: “Transform Your Life Book 2 Inspirational Stories and Expert Advice” and “Energy of Receiving” available on Amazon.
I’m singing along with The Greens. Singing Mercy Found Room For Me. Mercy found room for me. That’s right. Mercy is how I describe, when I was so emotional, I just felt like it was my dad talking to me and mercy found room for me. Mercy found room for my dad and mercy will find room for each of you.
I had to stop and pick up my nettle tea which is fantastic for any breathing kind of issues that you have going on. Or even if you have a cold or something or allergies, and the other one I love is Pau D’Arco. This is for you, Mama. I love you so much. My mom was drinking Pau D’Arco tea years and years before she passed. She had found it so detoxifying and cleansing for the body and helpful. It wasn’t until a couple years ago, maybe even in within this last year, I found it to be so helpful though.
Oh! I’m always open to receive; I’m open to see from mom, dad, and my ancestors whose blood runs through my veins. I hug myself and I honor you. I thank you for all the gifts that you’ve given me and continue to give me and some of you I’ll see you soon. So, I love you. Love, love, love, love is what it’s all about. Let’s not spend a moment more in sadness or grief or arguing or disagreeing. Okay?
Love is everywhere. Love is where it’s at. From what I’ve seen in my experiences, when our human body dies, we meet our creator. And in that moment the only words I’ll want to say is, Thank YOU!
I’ve seen it in my visions. Those two words are ALL I say! Thank YOU! I’ve told you this before. But they mean so much. We say them so flippantly and so easily to people and we say this phrase without meaning it but when we face our Creator and when I face my Creator I know what I’m gonna say. Those two words. Thank you. Thank you Thank you for EVERYTHING.
Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

The following list of helpful and easy ways to reduce stress, is ordered from activities that require the least physical effort, to the most. For the most part, this is a list you can reach for during your workday break times (as there are many more ways to reduce stress when you’re home).
Give one or more a try, especially if any are new to you! You may be surprised with the results!
My favorites are:
Prayer
Meditation / Mindfulness
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT “Tapping”)
Jin Shin Jyutsu
Pranayama breathing
Sniff some essential oil
Gentle stretching
Get up and walk around
Swaying to music
Mindful stair-climbing in conjunction with EFT / JSJ
Yoga
Pilates
For a bit more information on these, I like the following links:
Or, my favorite prayer is simply, “Thank you“. If there is time, you can think of and add anything you’re grateful for. You just cannot be grateful and upset at the same time.
Meditation and yoga teacher Dr. Alison J. Kay offers weekly group telephone calls, online video-conferencing (Google Hangout), and private sessions where you can learn about meditation techniques. She teaches yoga classes too! Alison’s yoga classes are designed for specific issues / needs; i.e., yoga for triathletes, yoga for runners, yoga for hockey players, yoga for teenage girls, etc. Her group fitness classes include: yoga, mind-body, and core-strengthening. Check out my blog post about her here.
My wonderful Jin Shin Jyutsu teacher, Michelle Giambra offers classes at her studio in Sarasota, Florida and she has a Facebook page here.
Find someone who sells Young Living essential oils and buy Stress Away, a beautiful blend of Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender.
Gentle stretching might involve a few chair yoga moves, or just raising your hands and arms as high as you can and slowly lowering them out and down to your sides while breathing with purpose to slow down. Click here to find some chair yoga videos.
It’s amazing how just breaking your attention, even for a few moments, can ease stress and anxiety! Get up and walk around. A few minutes of walking around will help you to calm, breathe, look at other things, and change your focus. Yes, even just going to the restroom counts!
I like to sway to some original music when I come home after a work. Who wants elevator music? If I could do this at work, life really would be a breeze! To find some exciting new music, click here.
Mindful stair-climbing is something I’ve sort of invented for myself. Well at least I thought so, until I Googled it and found this. I do all sorts of meditation while climbing 8-10 flights of stairs, twice a day. I do it for exercise, and to relieve stress. It clears my head and I can return to work in less than 10 minutes – refreshed. I climb sideways, count backwards from 100, count by 3s, or 4s, etc. and sometimes I just focus on a mantra. It works for me!
Pilates has been the best new class I’ve embarked on in the past year. It’s given me increased range of motion, taught me to breathe more deeply into different areas of the body, and motivated me to eat less and better so I could lose weight (down 13 pounds so far!). Guess I’ll have to keep updating this page to tell you my progress, huh? If you’ve never tried it, check it out. I go to Blue Sage Pilates in Bradenton, Florida. If you live in the area, you may want to give Karol a call and schedule a session! If you can’t find a Pilates class near you, check this out — click here.
Ah, now doesn’t that feel better?
