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,...
Best of Erik: EFT
I’ve had EFT and have gone to a professional for it, too. Erik was the one who recommended it to me, and I know he’s recommended it to others, including some of my family members. I’ve never seen it not work. Our energetic body has a certain pattern of meridians that the tapping changed. I love...
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...
Teaching Children How to Feel

That makes it a safe place to share subject matter like this. The group is wonderful: caring, insightful and funny. About this post: having raised five children, this is...
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...
Dario and Erik
As you may already know, Erik often visits and pranks blog members, and they very kindly post their experiences on the “Erik Encounters” page under the “About Erik” tab on the top of the homepage. Well, Dario, who I already adore after reading his story, is one of those sharing people. Enjoy his post, and,...
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...
Why Are We Here?, Part Two
One of you guys very astutely brought to my attention that I typed, “What” instead of “Why” in yesterday’s title. Oops. My mind isn’t what it used to be! Also, I have a brief announcement: I’m going to be out of town on a cruise (yay) from this Sunday until the following Saturday, so unless...
Best of Erik: Outta Control, Part I
Here’s another “Best of Erik” post. Just as a reminder, the only reason I’m doing this on Tuesdays and Thursdays is because all my transcripts until sometime in the fall will be devoted to the material for the book, and don’t want to run out of regular blog material! **************** Today, I woke up to...
Why Are We Here?, Part One
Looking back on my life, I see the wreckage of tragedy in its wake with only small islands of peace and joy. As I reflect on the dark side of life, I ask myself, ‘Why are we here if only to suffer?’ Is the human experience just some random affair? Is it the cruel joke...
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...
