Dear Reader, Although Erik sometimes paints a rosy picture of the afterlife, time and time again he stresses that suicide is not the answer to one’s problems. If you struggle, please understand that the information in my blog and my books is no substitute for professional help. Please click here for a list of resources…

Surprise! I didn’t leave town today after all. It’s been changed to this coming Monday and I’ll be returning on Wednesday. Then I’ll post again on Thursday. On Friday, I’m leaving for Norway for Spring Break. I intend to post, but we’re staying high up in the mountains well above the tree line so it…
Channeling Paul Newman
One of the reasons I chose my youngest son, Lukas’s name is because of the movie “Cool Hand Luke.” I fell in love with those gorgeous blue eyes! I wish I hadn’t made this interview so short. Having over 400 celebrities on the list makes me feel the need to rush. I don’t know if I’ll…
Channeling Etta James
This next celebrity is one of my favorite singers even though she was well before my time. (Finally, someone who is.) My son, Lukas, has recently stumbled upon the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald, and loves her voice. It’s so velvety smooth. Because of that, my interest has been rekindled. I remember, when I was no more than 12…
Channeling John Ritter
As promised, here’s the first celebrity post in a long, long time and the last post before I leave. Bon Voyage, peeps! I’m going to miss you. Good thing we’re in the more than capable hands of Michael Hulse! Thanks, Mikie-poo. Remember, no emails or Facebook messages until I get back, please! 🙂 Me: I…
Channeling Gilda Radner
For most of my adulthood, every Saturday at 10:00 PM was a special time. We rarely missed an episode of Saturday Night Live. Sometimes, we’d drag an old TV out to the driveway, hook it up to a long, orange, industrial strength extension cord, plunk down our ratty old lawn chairs and watch it with our…
Channeling Aaliyah Haughton
I want you guys to know that I haven’t forgotten about this most recent Ask Erik submission. I’ll put the submitter’s names in a bowl and randomly draw one, then on the 10th we’ll channel Erik’s response. It’ll take time to transcribe, so please be patient! Also, I plan to post Part Three of the…
Channeling James Dean, Part Two
Enjoy part two of our interview with Mister Cool, himself. Me: So you shared some of your thoughts during your transition. Can you describe your surroundings upon crossing? Wait, actually, when you were standing over your body, you may not have realized you had crossed over. Can you tell me your thoughts when you realized…
Channeling George Carlin, Part Three
I thought you all would love this email from our lovely long term blog member, Tracy. After she saw the painting Eric Grbich did of my Erik, she commissioned him to paint one of her own son, Adam. The finished masterpiece was no less stunning. If anyone would like his email address, let me know….
Channeling Amy Winehouse, Part Three
Me: Okay, so let’s go on. So, you probably haven’t created a life’s work yet since you only recently crossed over. I guess eventually you’ll get a line of work. Amy (laughing hard): Do I have to? Me: No, you don’t have to! Jamie (laughing): That’s great! Me: What insights did you gain once you…
Channeling Amy Winehouse, Part One
I had a great session with Jamie and Erik today. This was the first time I’ve every seen Jamie bust Erik though. He got banished to the couch because he and Bob Hope were goofing around so much that we couldn’t get started with the interview. Jamie got super irritated. Of course Erik was the…
Channeling Leonardo da Vinci, Part Four
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Now, enjoy the fourth and final part of Leonardo’s interview! Me: I see. Can you tell me what sort of things you like to do in your afterlife? Leonardo: Throughout all of my lives, I will remain the inventor. Me: Are you a muse to different inventors…
Channeling Heath Ledger, Part Three
Me: Is there a past life you can share that most affected this last one? Heath: That’s a very clever question. Jamie laughs loudly. Jamie: That’s so smart! He’s comparing talking about other lives to the secrets in your closet. Heath: Like when you’re alive, your sexual orientation is kind of what you keep in…
Channeling Heath Ledger, Part One
Me: Erik, let’s see if you can get Heath Ledger for us. Erik: Yeah, sure. He’ll be pretty easy to reach. Me: Okay, great. (Long pause, then Erik returns with Heath) Jamie: Oh, yeah, I forgot about his accent! Me: Yeah, isn’t he from Australia? Jamie: Yes, that’s what he’s saying. I’m just used to…
