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…
My Norway Experience and the Spiritual Aspects of Loneliness
Exciting news! As I mentioned earlier, I’m hosting our usually local meet up at my home Saturday, October 26th. It should be a lot of fun. I also had what I think is a brilliant idea. (Hey I gotta give myself credit whenever possible!) I thought it would be cool to invite some mediums, too…
Erik on My Brush With Death
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…
Quick Announcement
Hey guys, I’m leaving for Norway early tomorrow to visit relatives, particularly Rune’s 96 year-old father, so I’d appreciate it if you’d withhold all Facebook private messages and emails until I get back March 4th. Be gentle though and remember it takes me around 4 hours to answer them all every day. Avoid YouTubes, messages…
Karma and Estranged Children
I know, I know. This is a weird title, but it’s because these two recycled posts are so short, and I already skipped posting on Labor Day, so I didn’t want you guys to feel short-changed! We’ve been having a great time chilling with family in Norway here up in the mountains near Geilo. We’ve…
The Origin Of Fear
Susan Leonhard, a dear blog member, painted this beautiful picture of a scene overlooking my husband’s hometown in Norway. Every year, we trek up to “Kambenutan” to view this spectacular sight. She did a magnificent job capturing its beauty, and I’m so grateful. My husband sent pictures to his family, and they were equally impressed….
How to Recover, Part One
I’m back from a restful time in Norway where life in the alpine tundra is surreally Zen. (At times, it was so peaceful that I couldn’t wait to return to the chaos which has become my life.) Other than the tranquil mornings and evenings on the front porch and the visits to relatives, I enjoyed my…
The Norway Massacre
The public event in Los Angeles was wonderful. Erik and Maitland didn’t disappoint. My grand baby, Arleen, had her 15 seconds of fame, sitting on Maitland’s lap and chatting with her, then playing “get you” with Uncle Erik like she used to when he was on the physical plane. She said she saw Erik and…
Iceland
Here I sit in an outdoor cafe in Iceland enjoying the sun and balmy temperatures. Lukas has enjoyed watching women sunning in the nude outside the hotel window. For lunch, I ate whale carpaccio (don’t hate me). Tomorrow we ride Icelandic horses on the lave fields and then bath in the geothermal waters of the…
Kim O’Neill, Psychic Medium Extraordinaire
Okay, I know this is my second post in a day, but call me the incorrigible overachiever; what can I say? Actually, this post comes from reader demand. Many of you want to know more about Kim, the psychic who channels Erik for me. She’s been on several radio and TV shows. She’s helped local…
Working with Energy
Since Erik’s death, one of my deepest desires has been to see him, to hold him, to hug him, to kiss him, to hear the sound of his voice and his wonderfully infectious laugh. As you can see from various entries, we’ve been blessed by numerous occasions when he’s been tangible through our senses of…
Erik’s Norwegian Visit
Here I sit in our chalet in Norway, high above the tree line, deep in the rugged tundra. Wispy clouds dance meters away from the roof top as the sun struggles to peer through at us. This vacation has been a bittersweet one, the first since Erik’s death. Erik loved it here. In fact, Norway…
Erik’s Take on Souls and the Afterlife
Now that I have an insider, someone with a unique perspective on the “Other Side,” I have such a wonderful opportunity to answer so may questions I’ve been harboring nearly all of my life. Of course, if I had the choice, I’d rather have Erik on this side with me, but he’s not. He’s gone…
Channeling Session with Erik, Part Two
To continue where we left off in the most recent channeling session with Erik through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill, I pose questions meant to provide details of the abilities and characteristics of souls in the afterlife. I ask, ‘Erik, do you have your five senses? Can you taste and smell and touch and so on?’…
Death, Continued
I’d like to dive in to where I left off in the first channeling session with Erik. As he mentioned, after he saw his body and voiced dismay at the “mess” he created and his concerns about how we would react when we found him, he escaped to Norway to visit his grandfather, Bestefar. I’ll get…
First Channeling
Grasping for contact of any sort with a lost loved one is natural. Years before, I would have considered channeling through a medium a little wacky, great fodder for jokes, even. But when Erik died, things I once doubted became urgent lifelines for me to cling to in hope. However skeptical at first, when I…
