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.

Channeling David Bowie, Part Two

This morning I was reflected on my trip to Ireland with Kristina and how much fun we had. Sure there was the “Mom, you’re so annoying” component, but that’s a mother/daughter thing. That very component made me think that it’d be fun to have a show together on the Travel Channel. “Mom and Daughter Conquer...

Vaccines, Bipolar Disease, ADHD and Addiction

I have a couple of announcements today.

Channeling David Bowie, Part One

Poor Kim had to cancel our session scheduled for today because of a back injury. She’s miserable. I hope you guys will send her healing energy! I plan on interviewing Jesus and Mary as well as Prince then. Hopefully I can squeeze all of your great questions into that hour! On a completely different topic,...

Uncertainty

We got back from our wonderful trip to Ireland late last night. Everything went without a hitch until we got to Houston. There was a big-ass thunderstorm over the airport so we had to circle for 30 minutes to wait until the storm moved on. Unfortunately, it didn’t, so we had to divert to Austin...

Are You Ailing?

Yesterday, Kristina and I woke up way too late but still had time to go around Dublin on the “Hop on, Hop off” bus. We toured the Guinness brewery and learned pretty useless but fascinating information about how to brew the best beer and even how many bubbles (3,000,000) there are in a pint. I wonder...

Oh, the Pain

Today is my 61st birthday and what better way to spend it with a daughter I love in a country I’ve grown to love, Ireland. The people are so sweet; the countryside is breathtaking, and the food is delicious and even better when followed by a pint of Guinness listening to Irish music. Yesterday, we...

Numerology

Today, Kristina and I woke up kind of late in our hotel in Killarney, ate breakfast and set out on our next adventure. Speaking of adventure, I was proud of Kristina because she had the “Full Kerry Plate,” which included many things I have never heard of and one that I have: black pudding. Basically...

Fear and Greed

Sorry it’s so late, guys, but I just got back to our hotel after a very long day. Here are three separate sessions on fear and greed. Sorry for the short intro. I’m beyond exhausted. Me: Okay, here’s another fascinating question. Why is there fear, and how was that energy created? Where does it come from? Do...

Hour of Enlightenment

I’m just about to depart for the airport, but I can’t leave you guys stranded, so I wanted to post something. Here’s Thursday’s Hour of Enlightenment. Erik’s topic: How to overcome skepticism and move past your own doubts. Any time you want to hear the most recent show, all you have to do is click...

Keep it Simple, Stupid, Part Two

Today was the day we were supposed to put our cat, Bluebell, down, but fortunately, we’re trying some simple things that might make that unnecessary. That’s good because I’ve been bummed about Wednesday looming for several days.  Don’t forget about Erik’s Hour of Enlightenment radio show tomorrow at 5:00 PM PT/7:00 PM CT/8:00 PM ET. No more than 15...

Keep it Simple, Stupid, Part One

It’s a little nasty outside, but I’m just glad it’s not August because our main AC unit went out. Hopefully, it’s just a capacitor. If the unit is out, and it should be since it’s 24 years old, it’ll cost upwards to $8,000 to fix. So that’s my bit of good news today. We’d probably...

Things to Inspire Hope

Not certain if there is life after death? Wondering what happened to your loved ones after their death? I think these three short stories and the video that follows will give you the hope you need to take that leap of faith.  Story #1 I watch CE YouTube videos and read the CE Blog everyday...

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.
