I went camping in one of the state parks Sunday and Monday, and the minute I entered our camper, my eyes lit on a bit of sparkle. It was confetti from a New Years Eve party we had there in 2009–the last New Year’s party Erik enjoyed. It was not there when we closed up the camper on our last camping trip, so I suspect this is Erik’s way of saying, “Happy 2012!”
Happy New Year, Erik Style
Now, many of you know the tragic story of Ben Breedlove, the young man who died from complications of a cardiomyopathy. These two videos were made just prior to his death on Christmas day. Although I plan to have Erik bring him forth for an interview, I think his accounts of his NDEs from age four on suggest he was here to teach us that death is nothing to fear and life is something to seize with joy and fervor. Thanks, Jahmaiah, for these poignant and powerful YouTubes.

Now for the bad news. I made a big boo-boo! Not the first and definitely not the last! Sorry about the inconvenience, but Kristina says I should not have you all fill the other nomination sites with specific choices, because those will obviously get the same number of votes, jeopardizing our chances to win. Also, I gave you the wrong URL. It has recently changed. So, if you feel Channeling Erik has added anything positive to your life, please RE-nominate our blog at this link: 2012.bloggi.es, or click on the button located in the sidebar to the right. Please cast your ballot for the following (you have to nominate three blogs for every category for which you cast a ballot. Just pick random blogs by searching under “religion blogs” or Spirituality blogs,” and “Fashion blogs.” If you’ve already voted, your second vote will erase your first. I know it takes some effort, but this is super important to all of us!
