I was listening to a talk show on radio (which of course means I’m old. Don’t rub it in.) and the guest was saying that if our country became totally cashless, we’d eliminate or at least reduce the illegal immigration problem. I can see how it would help, because if all payments were electronic, you’d...
Abortions, Miscarriages and Stillbirths, Part One
I had a wonderful visit from Erik yesterday. While I was transcribing a session, I felt his presence more strongly than I ever had before and saw his image in my mind’s eye. He was wearing blue jeans, a white wife beater and a cap with the bill turned askew. Then I felt strong goosebumps on...
A Little Slice of Heaven, Part Three
Great news! Erik’s book got a stellar review by Miriam Knight in a big magazine, New Consciousness Review! It’s a great magazine. You guys should subscribe. After reading the review, please share! The more shares, the better for the magazine and the better my chances that they’ll let me write and article for them! Click...
A Little Slice of Heaven, Part Two
Sadly, I have nothing intelligent to say, so let’s just go to Part Two of this series! Me: So tell us what it looks like over there in Heaven. Erik (in a girlie voice): Pretty. Me: I know you describe it a lot in the book. Erik: Pretty. Me (leaning forward, almost touching the computer...
A Little Slice of Heaven, Part One
Check out this funky, catchy song by blog member, Kryston Jones. I’m asking her if it can be one of the songs in consideration for the intro and outro of our radio show. What do you think, guys? Now enjoy this three-part series on Heaven! It’s short, but sweet. Me: Good morning. Jamie: Good morning....
More Praise for Erik
Enjoy these sweet stories of praise for Erik and his blog. Story #1 I have started reading My Son and the Afterlife…. I cannot put it down. Erik’s conversations with his mom are so special. As Erik describes his experiences I am reminded of how we are reminded to love God and live in peace...
Have a Heart, Part Two
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! We sure did, and Erik was there enjoying the meal and company with us. It would have been nice to have had him in the flesh eating Mama’s home cooking, (and to help with the cleanup!) but I’m grateful for the Thanksgivings I did have with him. ...
Have a Heart, Part One
I’m already getting in full Thanksgiving gear, brining my turkeys and making the desserts. I’ll be in maniacal chef mode tomorrow, so I won’t be posting anything then. If you want, you can read my latest article in MindBodyGreen, just in time for Thanksgiving. Click HERE to check it out. This post is about heart...
Thanksgiving, Part Deux
With the new radio show coming, I’m looking for suggestions for what to call it. Ask Erik? Ask the Dead Dude? Erik’s Power Hour? I’m terrible with this kind of stuff. If you have an idea, leave it in the comment thread. On another note, my son, Lukas, got a new dog. Actually, he’s on...
Thanksgiving Cometh!
As Thanksgiving approaches, I thought it’d be nice to concentrate on the concept of gratitude. I have one session on it with Jamie as Erik’s translator and another with Kim. Enjoy! Me: Hello, Jamie! Jamie: Hello! Me: Hi, Erik! I love you, sweetie pie! Erik: Hi, Mama. I love you, too. Me: I’m going to...
Kudos, Erik!
The poll results are in! A vast majority of you would call in or use live chat to ask Erik your questions, would like to see the radio show happen weekly and prefer 5:00 PM PT/7:00 PM CT/8:00 PM ET. I’m new at this whole radio show thing, so it might be a little rocky...
Feathers, Phones and Bread
Story #1 I just finished writing in a previous encounter with Erik this afternoon. I was going through others encounters and began to talk to him. I asked him to come have fun. Come laugh! Any encounter would be excellent and I laughed because it could be very unexpected. Some background about myself is that I collect...
The Recent Terror Attacks, Part Two
In planning our radio show, I have three quick questions I want to ask you guys. Questions will be taken from live callers and live chat, so we’re going to be able to spread a lot of Erik around! Would you call into our radio show to ask Erik questions?How many times a month would...
The Recent Terror Attacks, Part One
The Gender Party was awesome. Everyone had such a good time, and I felt so powerful being the only one who knew the baby’s sex ahead of time. I kept offering the information at $1000 a pop but had no takers. The results: IT’S A BOY!!! I’ll try to post the video of the party...
Communicating with Your Dead, Part Two
Today, I find out the sex of the new grandbaby! Michelle is getting her ultrasound this afternoon, and she’s going to give the ultrasound technician a blank envelop to put the results in. Then the envelop will be sealed so she can’t know the results. Michelle will give me the envelop, I’ll open it, and...
Communicating with Your Dead, Part One
Stormy weather coming my way. Our little village is under a tornado watch, and it’s almost pitch black outside, so I’m trying to post this as fast as possible before the power goes out! Wish me luck. Be sure you sign up for Jamie’s class tomorrow: Zen for the Holidays – A Web Class with...
The Joy of Suffering, Part Two
Well, sorry, guys, but I was shot down on making a vlog of my camping trip. Too many camera shy people. 🙁 We did have a great time, though. The weather wasn’t the best, but the company was. I think the highlight of the weekend was our sighting of big cat paw prints near a...
More Erik Encounters
Story #1 I’m not sure how to explain this but I’ve been home sick this week with summer flu so I’ve had a lot of time to spend in my craft room doing painting etc. I had read ‘ not long after it came out and honestly hadn’t watched any videos, followed blogs etc. I have...
