On October 6, 2009, my 20-year-old son Erik, took his own life. Since that sad and tragic day, an overwhelming sense of grief and despair propelled me into a search for answers. Answers that would provide me and others with comfort and hope. Some of those answers came from the many books I bought, but many came from an unexpected source: Erik himself. Read more.

Erik shows himself to my sister

My older sister Nicole can see spirits in the physical, but she tries to suppress it (with no luck). She’s been very secretive about it all her life, and we recently started talking to each other about our abilities. I thought all these years that she successfully blocked it all, but she says that she...

More on ET

Well, we finally have the new Erik Encounters page up and running. Each story will become its own post. As you may have noticed, the first one is about a missing cell phone. I encourage you all to share your own stories whether they’re about Erik punking you, visiting you or more. Many of you...

Prez G.W. Tells it Like it is

I had such an amazing birthday dinner Saturday. My sister and niece flew in Friday from California to be a part of it and, poor things, experienced some “Holy crap, are we going to crash” type turbulence coming into Houston. Not only that, they had to plow through 1-3 feet of floodwaters to get to...

Give me da Mulah!

This is a “Best of Erik.” I felt bad not posting today. 🙂 Me: Erik, why do so many people have so much money while others starve? Jamie: I know! Isn’t it unfair? Me: Yeah. What’s that all about? Erik: We can chalk that up to lessons. It’s all about fear of abundance. There’s enough...

The Map of Piri Reis

I’m outside, enjoying another beautiful, sunny day. Soon, my sister and brother-in-law will be here for a 4 day visit all surrounding my upcoming birthday on the 21st. We’re having a celebration Saturday with about 16 family members and friends–17 if you count Erik. It should be fun. That being said, I won’t be posting...

Run for Cover

Here I am again, outside with my laptop soaking in the sweet smell of lugustrum and basking in the sun like a lizard. Unfortunately, as I get older, my skin is looking like one’s, but as long as they don’t start flirting with me with that big pink gross little bag they puff up, I’m...

Channeling Alexander McQueen

Argh! I’m so frustrated! I’m still trying to work on the audiovisual quality of the YouTube videos, and it seemed like it was all fixed the last session, but today after the first 15 minutes or so the frame rate went down. A popup on Call Recorder, which records FaceTime and Skype video calls, said...

We Can Always Hope, Right?

After a drizzly, rainy weekend camping in the Texas Hill Country, the sun is now out. Dammit. Oh well, we toured three wineries and after a while weren’t too worried about sobering things like bad weather. It’s funny when you tour these wineries. By the time you get to your last one around when they...

My Life After Death: A Memoir from Heaven

As promised, here are two excerpts from my new book. Actually, it’s Erik’s since he’s the author and I’m just the transcriptionist. Note that the book has not been proofread yet! The first is his goodbye to me right after his death. It’s poignant and heart-wrenching. I cry every time I read it. The second...

Are You a Turtle, Part Two

Great news, guys. One spot just opened up for the Channeling Erik Weekend of F-ing Enlightenment this April as well as the hotel room reserved by the person who canceled. Unfortunately, she’s canceling due to illness so please send her healing energy. If you want to snap it up, click HERE. Another announcement: I don’t plan...

Are You a Turtle?

I know Erik’s covered this topic before, but given the fact that I see so many blog members struggling with this, I decided I needed more details. Pushy, pushy. I’m one of those people who’ve straddle the fence all of my life. I never felt comfortable here. I think being so clumsy and easily distracted...

Does Terrorism Terrorize You? Part Two

Long time blog member, JoAnn Nichols, has passed away. I’ve asked Erik to smooth her transition and show her the ropes. Please send prayers and love to her family and friends.  The weather here has been stunning, perfect for our camping weekend in Austin with my six year-old grand daughter, Arleen. We only had one hiccup....

In doing so you can follow my journey just as I did, through the inexplicable, inconceivable, and yet utterly undeniable surprises that I have encountered since my son''s death. Welcome.
