Before we launch into Steve’s love life, I’d like to let you all know that, although I intended to post two Ask Erik questions today, a 4:00 AM call derailed that promise. My mother, almost 81 years old, woke up with severe abdominal pain. My father, a 90 year-old retired surgeon, diagnosed her as having an acute abdomen, probably a perforated bowel. Indeed she did, and she underwent a successful surgery. She’ll have to have another surgery to close the colostomy that was required, but that’ll be a couple of months away. After taking my exhausted father home this evening, there was just not enough time for me to do more than one post. I’ll try to catch up though, promise. Everyone send my mom, Dr. Jacqueline R., healing, loving thoughts. She’s in Houston, TX.
Now for a happier subject—the answers to questions posed by one of my favorite readers. (Okaaaaay, you’re all my favorites.)
Steve’s Question
I’m a 43 year-old professional gay man in Atlanta. I have a good life, but finding a partner eludes me. I’m beginning to think that I don’t have a soulmate. I’ve had 4 short-term relationships that left me with a wall around my heart.
Will I find a life partner, and if so, what is the timing around this. I feel like I’m waiting for a soulmate, not wanting to settle.
I’m very excited to hear what comes from this channeling session – I had asked about finding a soulmate or life partner, and I’ve also emailed about Erik possibly meeting my mother: Loraine.. She died in 2006 Memorial Day weekend from ovarian cancer, on Seabrook Island, South Carolina. She was 63.

Channeling Transcript
Me: Next question, Erik, comes from another very delightful and enlightened reader, Steve. He’s a 43 year-old gay man living in Atlanta. His problem is that he has had all sorts of trouble finding a soulmate. He’s afraid he may not have one. Will he find a life partner, Erik? He’s waiting and doesn’t want to “settle.”
Erik: Oh yes, yes. And he knows enough NOT to settle. The guy’s really attuned to shit. This is fantastic. Tell him that.
Me: You know I will! I tell these guys everything you and Kim say.
Erik: Good, so his Mr. Wonderful is 28 years old. He’s a Gemini, uh, doesn’t smoke, lives in New York.
Me: Oh no!
Erik: No, he’s gonna move to Atlanta—he’s a doctor, a dermatologist. So tell Steve he’s exactly where he needs to be. He needs to stay right where he is. I mean, he doesn’t intend to move anyway, but his guides are just like acknowledging that he’s in the right place. So this guy is moving to Atlanta the first quarter of 2011, and Steve will meet him as early as June or July that same year. Steve will know him the minute he sees him. He’s like 5’10” and is in really, really good physical shape. He’s funny, warm, cozy (his guides’ words not mine.) He’s like a Renaissance Man, very well-read and well-traveled. This dude is so, so sympathetic and compassionate to others. Wow, everybody LOVES this guy! He’s just “magical” they’re saying. Magical. They say Steve is too. Steve knows he’s looking for someone of his caliber. Oh, and Mom, he’s gonna ask you where they’re gonna meet.
Me: I’m sure.
Erik: They’re gonna meet at the Starbucks connected with a Barnes and Noble. They’re showing me a street with the word “peach” in it. Peach Drive, Peach Circle, Peach Street, you know, something like that. Maybe Peach Tree something.
Me: Wow, that’s pretty specific. I’d be tempted to set up a tent there if I were him!
Erik: No, look, he doesn’t need to hang out there, okay? He needs to wait until he gets a nudge from his guides. When he gets the nudge, he’s to go there and look around. Their eyes will lock and they’ll be together for the rest of this lifetime. Plus, Steve and this guy will be adopting at least one child. So Steve is gonna have a very full, very happy life.
Me: That’ll be music to his ears, Erik. Now he also wants to know if you’ve met his mother, Lorraine. She died at the age of 63 in Seabrook Island, South Carolina.
Kim (laughing): Erik is saying he’s had to get so much information directly from guardian angels instead of knowing it himself, he was wondering if he needed to get a part time job!
Kim and I both laugh hard.
Erik: No, I haven’t met her yet, but I plan to look her up.
Kim: Erik is thinking for a moment.
Erik: Here’s what I’m gonna do. What I’ll do is I will get together with Lorraine and set up a meeting for me and her to come to Steve in a dream where he can interact with us in a lucid way. And he’ll know it’s his mom now, that he’s not just having a dream, you know, from her years ago, and I’ll be the facilitator.
Kim: Oh! Elisa! Erik has this GREAT idea! OOOO!
Me: What?
Kim: Oooo! He says that, and he’s just thinking about it. It just occurred to him this very moment. What he’s going to do is act as a facilitator. So, people will write to you through the blog; then you’re to give this information to Erik. Then he will contact the deceased, and he will set up meetings to facilitate, to bring them, in a lucid dream, to the people who want to speak with them. Now Erik, they can do…I’m talking to Erik about the fact that any of these spirits can do this on their own. They don’t have to have Erik to do this. But he loves the idea of being a facilitator, because he says that—yes that true; it’s true, it’s true. Erik is reminding me that sometimes spiritual beings don’t want to bother the human beings they left behind. They don’t want to interrupt their lives; they feel that they have so many guardian angels that they don’t want to step in (chuckling.) So he’ll introduce the spiritual being to their loved ones, so in other words, if it’s Steve, he’ll say something like, “Hi Steve! It’s Erik! Look, here’s your mom!” And then he’ll step back and allow them to interact.
Steve’s Response
That is so cool! Thank you! Interesting – I have always thought I would date someone older, not 15 years younger…and adopting a child? Wow, I have sworn that out of the picture at my age, but heck, you never know, right? I will definitely look for Erik escorting my mother into my dreams!!
You guys are great. PLEASE tell Erik thank you for helping out. I know that this work is doing wonders to absolve his suicide karma so he can progress forward as a soul! He’s so lucky to have this strong connection with you!! You are helping him more than he’s helping you, I think!
Well I know exactly where this Starbucks/B&N is…it’s a place I wouldn’t go to normally so I’ll wait until next summer for that to happen naturally 🙂
There is a Starbucks attached to a Barnes and Noble on 2900 Peachtree Road in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. It is the only location she could be talking about. There is one closer to my house but that is in the Edgewood Shopping Center on Caroline Street. I’d more likely be in that area when out and about, but I’m occasionally up near the other one. I don’t drink coffee much or go to Starbucks but I have once in awhile.
Does Kim know Atlanta very well? If not, this is fascinating.
Gemini’s are good with me (Sagittarius), and someone educated and from the northeast is perfect 🙂 We’ll see what happens next summer!
May a great love come your way, Steve. You deserve that.
