The roofing horrors have almost come to an end. I can’t wait until the incessant hammering stops! The bad news is that they found my chimney to be in horrible shape. The leaks have destroyed its plywood framing so the entire structure has to be rebuilt. I guess putting buckets in the attic to collect...
Erik’s Favorite Subject
Lately, I’ve been wrestling with conflicted feelings. As I’ve shared Erik with the world more and more, I feel like I’m losing a subtle part of our mother-son connection. It’s as though he’s no longer “my Erik.” Instead, he’s this idealized version of himself. No pain, no flaws, no humanness. I can’t reach him out...

Channeling Billie Holiday
For the last three days, I’ve been in roofer hell. Starting at 6:00 AM, here comes the relentless hammering. But, because our roof is 22 years old and leaking like a sieve, it was time. So bad was the leaking that two of our bathroom ceilings are destroyed. Rune has had to pierce one of...
Best of Erik: Erik’s Death, Part Two
Blog member, Daniel Lucas, created the masterpiece below. How, I don’t know, but it gives me such a sense that we’re all family, connected. If you’d like a picture of yourself in the image, please send a good quality, bright photo to him at daniel-lucas95@hotmail.com. Thanks, Daniel! This is the continuation of Erik’s description of his...
Forgiveness, 101
As I type, I glance up at the beautiful urn in the room filled with the ashes of my father, my mother and my sister. I can’t imagine now not believing in consciousness survival and the afterlife because how can one digest the fact that a person whose life was full of joy and pain,...
Best of Erik: Erik’s Death, Part One
This part of the channeling transcript was not at all easy for me. The graphic memories, the heartache, the sense of loss, it all flooded back to me like a tsunami of dread and despair. For that reason, I’ve transcribed just a portion of Erik’s description of his death. The heart can only endure so...
Magic!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was very busy because my little grand daughter had her 6th birthday party and everyone and their mothers must have been there. Maybe their cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, plumbers, hairdressers, and and neighbors, too. I lost count. It was wild and fun, more so because my...
After You, Bitch
Happy Friday, everyone. As you notice, I’m not posting a celebrity interview today. I don’t want to run out of them before I finish getting all the materials for the book. Nonetheless, I’m hoping you’ll find this one enlightening. Very soon after announcing the contest yesterday, someone answered the question correctly. Physics. Can you believe...
Best of Erik: Last Night’s Dream
First, I want to say how sorry I am that a truly wise woman has left the earthly plane. Maya Angelou was an inspiration to millions, me included. I now have her on the (long) list of people to interview, but since I won’t be using sessions for anything except gathering information for the next...
Erik and Our Deceased Loved Ones
As I was sitting outside in today’s drizzly, cozy weather clacking away on my keyboard, I look out of the corner of my eye to see my little 3-pound Yorkie, Bella, wrestling a squirrel to the ground. She’s an avid squirrel hunter, but has never caught one in her almost one and a half years of...
Channeling Walt Disney
I’m sad to announce the death, this weekend, of blog member, Kris Abrams. She was always so active on the blog and the Channeling Erik Facebook group. She was also very generous, recently offering to pay for someone to join the trance channeling event tomorrow. I’m just crushed for her and her family, but I...
Best of Erik: Trance Channeling Grace
I know i’m supposed to post a celebrity interview, but, for whatever reason, I feel compelled to post this instead. Even aside from Erik’s death, life, for me, has been a string of hardships and tragedies. One day, when I have the courage, maybe I’ll share my story if I come to the conclusion that...
Best of Erik: Dying to Live
After I told my daughter, Michelle, about Erik’s visit to Mariana, she felt happy for yet another sign of his continued existence, but she also felt a little sad that he had not given her a sign in such a long time. After all, Michelle and Erik were very close. They did nearly everything together....
Best of Erik: First Channeling Session with Jamie
Thanks for letting me publish only “The Best of Erik” for this week, guys. It’s been crazy. Soon, we’re going to have to manage estate-related matters, clearing his belongs, selling his condominium, slogging through his paperwork (He had a horrible filing system. Come to think of it, he had none!). And that’s only the tip of...
Best of Erik: How to Channel
First of all, I would like to thank you all for your condolences. I wish I could have answered all of them with my appreciation but there were so many, and I’m so physically and emotionally spent. I do have some great news, though. Jamie is hosting another event where she trance channels Erik. It’ll...
Ask Erik: Hyla
My father died at 5:00 AM this Saturday peacefully in his sleep. For the last month, he has had excruciating pain in his back, so horrible that he’d scream at the top of his lungs and clench his fists until his knuckles were white. This is despite the fact that he’s the most stoic person I’ve...
Channeling Bob Hope
My father is now in the hospital in grave condition. Please excuse the fact that I didn’t edit any of the following post and that this introduction is so short. Pray for his peaceful transition. Me: Let’s see if we can get Bob Hope in here. He was such a funny guy. Want to? Jamie:...
