MiGi's now selling artwork by Ashley Murphy


Nearly four years ago, I had a vision, one I did not speak of audible. Only whispers among Gods presence, prayers, my mind and heart. The vision slowly disappeared. As, I finished writing my second book, publishing it and hosting two years in a row a silent art auction in the month of October raising money for liver cancer research. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, scrolling Facebook, I read a status in my feed. The status read specifically the "vision". The owner of MiGi's was looking for someone to place their artwork in her store. I typed my name as fast as my fingers could type in the comments (as if my name popped up first she'd pick me-I clearly was like the 10th person to comment), sent her a inbox message as requested and sought out my prayer warriors if this was Gods will He would complete it! I am honored to share with you, it was His will! This is the shortest version of this story to tell you, "MiGi's Boutique in Dogwood is now selling Ashley Murphy's artwork". I'd be happy to tell you the full version sometime. This is all His! His timing. His will. His work. He is worthy of praise. Praising. Rejoicing. "Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness." Psalm 145:3 #shoplocal #migis #ashleymurphy #ashleysartcloset #remoteworking #allHis #migisgiftguide #willship #aliciapowell #stopbytoday #pleaseshare

Why I Started A Youtube Channel

Today's video is dear to my heart. I filmed this earlier this year and due to summer break, I am now getting it editing and post for you. This video houses the main reason I started a Youtube channel. It excites me for what the Lord is doing by allowing my voice to be a light through this channel, You Were Made To Shine. Also, I am excited for what He is going to do in your life as you hear messages from me He has placed I my heart. My hope is you will visit often to hear what He has to say to the both of us.

More than anything, I love how He inspired me by showcasing two other wonderful Youtubers, Roman Atwood and Charie Marie, in my path. This is a beautiful God story to me. Please tell Roman and Charli you saw this!

Happy Fourth Of July

If there is one thing I've taught my children, it's creating things at home to do. They may not be film worthy, picture worthy but they can be great times if that's what you set out to make them.

I hope you enjoy today's video shooting BB guns at red solo cups. May it inspire you to think outside the box. We used this time in the yard to create something fun. Make memories. As Albert Einstein said, Creativity is intelligence having fun.

What is your families favorite things to do around the house?

How To Cook Brussel Sprouts On The Stove Top

Welcome back to my channel, Ashley Murphy-You were made to Shine. If this is your first time, I am so grateful you stopped by. I hope this video finds you happy. My time in the kitchen is often. As I try to prepare meals for my family as often as possible.

Do you like to cook?
Have you ever cooked Tuna Steaks?
Brussel Sprouts?

When you are cooking pray for your family! Let the love you have for them inspire you to get in the kitchen. Don't panic looking at all the fancy recipes say on Pinterest. Give it your best and remember no two people cook alike. Just like no two people write, paint or sing alike.

Here are some of the items I cooked with:
McCormick Montreal Steak Season http://amzn.to/2sbGVNw
Kona Coast Ginger Wasabi Teriyaki
Bertolli Extra Lite Olive Oil http://amzn.to/2tbs6PL
ZATARAIN'S Diced Onions, 4.75-Ounce http://amzn.to/2s79LTT

Did He Really Dunk The Basketball?

Seeing you come back week after week to view my video up load here on my channel is awesome. This journey learning the ropes of Youtube what works, what doesn't, what looks good, how to delivery a great story line, edit video etc. has been a great learning curve. Me personally, I love learning new things. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being loyal returning week after week. My hope is you find truth, wisdom, community, friendship and a safe place.

This weeks video is from a day spent at the MAIS Overall Tournament 2017 at Mississippi College in Clinton, Mississippi. The game was a joy to watch. My wish is each of those players on the floor had an awesome time. May their time on the floor be a guidance for their life ahead.

If you missed the first round on Monday of the MAIS Overall Tournament here is your chance to see many clips from Hartfield vs. Sylva Bay Academy.

How to Clean API Filstar XP-M Canister Filtration System

Before making the purchase of my API Filter, I did research to see which filtration system would best fit my needs. The API Filstar is little pricey at $100.  As a child, I had a small turtle, name Fred who lived in a small bowl in my room never using any filtration. Now, I have 4 fairly nice size turtles. The water would get extremely nasty. The decision to purchase this filtration system was the best investment.

The API FILSTAR xP is powerful, easy to use and maintain. It's prefect for any place in your home, although I use mine in the garage, it's so silent. The water stays near perfect crystal clear when the filtration is cleaned properly. It's very easy to maintain.

Let me show you today how to clean a API Filstar XP-M Canister Filtration System.

Things I like about my API Filstar XP-M Canister Filtration System:

Quick Disconnect
Leak Free
Fast Cleaning
Self-priming
Easy start-up-One-time self-priming system in seconds, no hand pumping or manual siphoning.
Anti-Airlock System prevents overheating & eliminates re-priming.
Bypass-Free Circulation.
Long-Lasting, heavy-gauge construction stands up to everyday use.
Easy Access-immediate access to media baskets, impeller, and shaft.
Large Rubber Base keeps filter in place.

My hope is this helps you clean you system you may already have or help in your purchasing decision. If you have any question please ask. I'd love to help you.

Conversation with Jeff Goins: Real Artists Don't Starve Poster Child

In 7th grade my art teacher ask us to create an art piece by looking at another artists work. The Bedroom by Van Gogh stood out. This was a very magical process for me. Although prior, I sat many days on my bed, at my desk and even our living room couch creating. I'd doodle with markers from a large green bucket next to me. It was in that moment creating The Bedroom, I was in love. Not sure what happen to my actually painting of The Bedroom, but I do remember wanting to major in art while entering my college years. My mother encouraged me to take a different path.

In this video, you will hear me trying to crush a myth for small artists, "we have a voice too". You will also hear my story of art. Jeff doesn't get a word in before well, watch till the end. I promise you will gain insight, know more of my heart and want to dive in reading Jeff's newest book, Real Artists Don't Starve. His myth crusher of Real Artists Don't Starve is top notch. You will soon forget I was trying to crush anything.

Were you ever told you shouldn't seek your art passion?
Would you like to hear 12 real rules of a thriving artist?
Are you hungry?
Starving?
Or are you thriving?

My guess is when you finish reading Jeff's newest book, Real Artists Don't Starve, you will be on fire to press forward on your current jobs, start new ones or both. You will have all the right answers the next time someone says "you'll starve". Or silently you may smile thriving on because you will know the real truth.

If any part of this video touched your life please give it a thumbs up, comment, share and subscribe.

A Morning Treat: Annie's Cinnamon Rolls


So often we get busy in the hustle of life we forget ourselves. Now, I know we are not called to over indulge as self centered beings, but we must remember to treat ourselves. This can be by the simplest things, like such in this video. On a regular day serving my family, I tossed a pan of Annie's Cinnamon Rolls in the oven. Treating ourself isn't just by food. Other ways could be by a walk at a nature trail, listening to the birds from our front porch, watch a youtube video, spending time in the word or even a hot bath, etc. This keeps us present, creating us into well rounded self discipline, balanced servants. Here's to your day doings all for His glory.

A Day of Work in the Life of an Artist


work day artist


This vlog provides a small glimpse inside one of my work days. From school drop off, getting ready for the day, book reading filming, creating the "you were made to shine" for this channel, tending to the elder dog-my co worker, watching the rain and school pick up. The absolute inside look of a flexible artist life. May you be inspire for what your work day looks like. We all have them being a service to others. Be inspired. Be you. Shine.

Are you an artist?
Do you work from home in any manner?
How do you stay encouraged?

Much love,

Unicorn Frappuccino

unicorn frappuccino

Calorie Free! Unicorn Frappuccino! You guessed it, another watercolor. Come with me as I show you this creative process. I hope you enjoy watching this process and enjoy the freeness of it. May you be inspired to create your very own. So often, I am told "you are so talented" "I could never do that"! I am here to tell you, "yes, you can". Countless times, I sit down with friends and family to create something as say this project. By the end, I am surprised and so are they at what they are able to create. We are all different and meant to be. Therefore our creations are all going to look slightly different. Believe me it took me years to get where I am. Art has been my passion since a child, in more then one form or another, but I will be honest. Not always have, I like what I create. Often, I see someone else's creation I love more. And even tried to duplicate others work. It just doesn't happen that way. I've learned a lot about myself and others though the years of creating. One being of myself, once I accepted, say my hand writing in my artwork, I could move forward enjoying the process. One of others, they can create artwork too, really well actually. I encourage you to get an art journal, color pencils, watercolor or markers and create you a Calorie Free Unicorn Frappuccino. Don't stop there. Continue creating other things you feel inspired by, but remember yours will not look like the person next to you. Embrace the process watching how free you are.

Please like, comment, share and or subscribe. I am very thankful for your time viewing this process. And would love to hear from you about your own creative process.

Have a wonderful day and remember to shine,
Ashley Murphy

How I Created My Intro: Watercolor TV

When I set out to start vlogging on youtube. I knew a tv would be involved. Since technically speaking posting videos on youtube is creating your own channel, tv channel. Most of us, watch tv from our devices these days. So here you have it, my tv for my channel. Sharing this process with you is to shine a light on the journey you are on, creating your channel, starting a BBQ team, working on a book cover, decorating your home or some other creative process. We all gain inspiration from each other no matter what the task.

How many leftover plastic Easter eggs do you have? Watch this quick tutorial below on making something with those leftovers. You will have something created which will last years to come.

Book Reading: Listen Free

book reading


You guessed it! Today, I am reading from my very own book, Under Contract: Life in the Middle of Dreams, a verse novel. The first Christian verse novel to my knowledge. Have you heard of a verse novel before? An example of authors such as Ellen Hopkins, Sonya Sones and Lisa Schroeder write verse novels. Enjoy your viewing while listening to this book reading. I am super excited sharing this with you. This is probably one of my favorite recordings for my youtube channel so far.  If you need to purchase a copy, you can do so here http://amzn.to/2lqxgUP . Tell a friend, share this video, write a book review on Amazon, watch the actual video on Youtube and/or comment below. All of these help me as an artist not starve.

Homemade Signs Are The Best


I am starting to get the hang of sharing a video weekly on Youtube. Then sharing it on my blog for you. This week I am sharing something from a few weeks ago. My oldest daughter turned 21. On one of the weekends closest to her birthday she came home from college for a weekend stay. I ran out of time to purchase a sign/balloons as we would be celebrating her birthday. My wheels begin spinning. I worked with what I had on hand creating this very simple handmade/hand painted sign. Hope you find this encouraging to make use of things you already have on hand to simplify life. It does't need to  be a big fancy production. What ways do you try to simplify?

I hope you have a wonder day.

I'll see you next time.

What's In My Trunk: First Vlog

At the beginning of the year, I begin praying for the Lord to show me where I am at in this current season of life. I was looking for His guidance for outlets to just be me. Me as a child of His to shine love and creativity among everyday normal life. Aiming towards several different outlets, vlogging on youtube came before me. Something I'd not considered possible. So thankful for His guidance, see my first vlog below, comment, like, and or share the video. Check back weekly as I get in the groove of this new journey! I think you are going to like it. Remember you were made to shine. You are loved. You are His. Have an awesome day!
