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.

Water Off of a Duck’s Back

I’m happy to announce that shortly after the contest was posted, Gregorio Keiser got it right:  Feel first, think second. Many of you guessed being emotionally honest and the importance of vulnerability, but these are both roots of his main motto. Congratulations, Gregorio!  Here’s a lovely image that Helene Ramøy created for the motto. This...

Loss, Part Two

Of course I still struggle with Erik’s death. I know I haven’t written about it very much for a long time, but I do. There are things that make me cringe like gunshots on TV shows or movies. For instance, I was watching a Netflix original series called “Damages” a while back and, without warning,...

Loss, Part One

I want to remind everyone about  Jamie’s next webinar class. Personally, I think it’s one of the most important subjects in all things spiritually because so many ailments, physical or otherwise, can be healed through crystals. Like I said earlier, each one has their own vibrational frequency, and, since we’re energy too, they can affect our...

The Re-Balancing Act

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Patrick and his “substitute committee,” but it’s worth the wait! For those interested, Patrick’s site is HERE. Check out his celebrity interviews there, too! ST:       Erik, you jumped into a session of mine not too long ago and mentioned cats evolved into the...

Best of Erik: To Be or Not to Be

Since Robin William’s death, a lot of people have been wondering about why he made the decision he did. Personally, I think a lot of comedians, including Robin, Richard Jeni and others, have their dark side, and feeling lost and sad compels them to balance their lives with humor. Let’s revisit the suicide issue again....

Channeling Etta James

This next celebrity is one of my favorite singers even though she was well before my time. (Finally, someone who is.) My son, Lukas, has recently stumbled upon the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald, and loves her voice. It’s so velvety smooth. Because of that, my interest has been rekindled. I remember, when I was no more than 12...

Crystal Healing

Good news! The site works. I decided that if it does go out again, I can always go to Starbucks to post things. It seemed to work there. Liquidweb, the hosting company, says it’s not from their end. They says it’s a worldwide problem. The Internet itself is suffering with hardware failure in areas. That’s...

Disaster!

I can only post this through my iPhone with wifi off so this is cumbersome, but I have a problem accessing the blog through Wi-Fi. I can load any other site though. I’ve tried rebooting my router and my computer, and I’ve tried multiple browsers. I don’t know why my router is cherry picking just...

Are We Schtupid?

Sorry the site has not been accessible to Michael. He intended to post something every day, but he couldn’t get the blog to cooperate. I’m not sure why. He tried on all sorts of devices and nothing. I do thank him for his efforts. I don’t know what I’d do without him! Hopefully, I can...

Channeling John Ritter

As promised, here’s the first celebrity post in a long, long time and the last post before I leave. Bon Voyage, peeps! I’m going to miss you. Good thing we’re in the more than capable hands of Michael Hulse! Thanks, Mikie-poo. Remember, no emails or Facebook messages until I get back, please! 🙂 Me: I...

Best of Erik: Outta Control, Part Two

Enjoy Part Two! Sorry it’s so short and that I haven’t posted an intro. Getting ready for the trip! I’ll try to post a celebrity interview tomorrow, though. Me: What about losing control of a situation? Erik: Let’s take sickness. Say you have cancer. You can’t change that fact. You can’t control what’s going to...

More on Forgiveness

I need to say a few more words in response to the comments on my last post. I love you guys. You engage with and support me and each other, and that’s the important thing. This is a cozy little community traveling a very exciting road. I agree that people who need to be here...

Where to Begin

If you're new to Channeling Erik, I recommend you read the backstory first. Then, I suggest you start with the very first post. 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.
