I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M ALIVE! This past June, dense fog disoriented me during a short hike in the Norwegian tundra. I endured 28 degree temperatures, hard wind and driving rain for 17 hours until finally, the Red Cross found and rescued me. The suffering was so intense that I ended up begging for my soul…
Damn I worked my butt off this weekend. I had four bougainvilleas, one large lantana and a medium sized palm to transplant from pots into the ground. I was missing my best shovel, so I had to dig through the notorious hard-packed Houston clay with a skinny little spade, cut roots that were in the…
Well, I’m back from my vacation in the Dominican Republic, ready to get to work again. Rune and I had a great time doing pretty much absolutely nothing in the pristine paradise.

Me: Do spirits have a reflection? In other words, if I were clairvoyant—with I’m not, ha ha—and I see a spirit in the room, will I also see the spirit in the mirror? Erik: Yeah. You know, everybody’s clairvoyant. It’s not an “if you are.” It’s just the degree that you are. Me: Oh. Okay….
Blog member, Jason, channels his past life twin bro, Erik, often and yesterday Erik (no doubt after much pestering) told him to provide us with the following ten tips. Thanks you, Jason, for giving Erik and voice, and thank you Erik, for keeping us humans in line. 10 Tips for feeling the happy child in…
This message channeled by Jason is so insightful I decided to post it as an entry to make sure no one misses it. What testament to Jason’s gift! Aren’t we blessed to have him in our family? The spirits with messages for us are Emily, Chris, Andy, and of course our little sneakster, Erik. Thanks…
