Channeling John Wayne

I fell in love with John Wayne’s movies ever since watching True Grit and The Green Berets. Both made me cry, and I like movies that have that effect on me. I sob every time I watch Bambi’s mother die. Recently I was wondering why. All of my life I’ve felt emotionally numb. In other…

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…

Best of Erik: Adolph Hitler, Part Two

Best of Erik: Adolph Hitler, Part Two

I had a long conference call with my publisher yesterday, and she had some brilliant recommendations. I’m very disabled when it comes to taking advantage of social media, and that’s so important to the success of many things, including books. Each of these recommendations is a plea to you to help in some way. None of them are difficult and…

Best of Erik: Channeling Adolph Hitler

Best of Erik: Channeling Adolph Hitler

Just a reminder: I’ll be leaving the country tomorrow and will return the 13th. Until then, Mike Hulse will be approving comments and publishing posts. Thank you, Miguelito! Please refrain from sending me any emails or Facebook messages while I’m gone because it’ll be too overwhelming to come back to thousands of them right after getting…

Channeling Billie Holiday

Channeling Billie Holiday

For the last three days, I’ve been in roofer hell. Starting at 6:00 AM, here comes the relentless hammering. But, because our roof is 22 years old and leaking like a sieve, it was time. So bad was the leaking that two of our bathroom ceilings are destroyed. Rune has had to pierce one of…

Channeling Walt Disney

I’m sad to announce the death, this weekend, of blog member, Kris Abrams. She was always so active on the blog and the Channeling Erik Facebook group. She was also very generous, recently offering to pay for someone to join the trance channeling event tomorrow. I’m just crushed for her and her family, but I…

Channeling Bob Hope

Channeling Bob Hope

My father is now in the hospital in grave condition. Please excuse the fact that I didn’t edit any of the following post and that this introduction is so short. Pray for his peaceful transition.  Me: Let’s see if we can get Bob Hope in here. He was such a funny guy. Want to? Jamie:…

Channeling John Candy

Channeling John Candy

I’ve been thinking a lot about you mothers out there as our special day approaches, particularly those of you who have lost children. I, for one, will miss Erik coming to the side of my bed with his brother and sisters early in the morning with a tray sporting breakfast, usually a hot dog without the…

Channeling Gilda Radner

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 John Kennedy, Jr.

Channeling John Kennedy, Jr.

Thank you, everyone, for participating in the most recent poll. Around 61% of you chose the one about being human from Erik’s perspective. Of course, that doesn’t mean the publisher will agree, but this will be very helpful information to present when we do talk about our plans. I love it when you guys help…

Channeling Anne Frank

Channeling Anne Frank

Although I’m not into organized religion and know little or nothing about these holidays, Passover and Easter is a chance to reflect on our beliefs and honor them. For me, I see Easter a little differently now that I know that Jesus did not die on the cross. Keep this to yourselves so the Easter Bunny…

Channeling Gregory Peck

Channeling Gregory Peck

Well, it’s that day of the week. Celebrity Friday. And the secret’s out. This gorgeous man is my biggest crush. Antonio Banderas is a close second, but the bastard just won’t answer my calls. Enjoy. (But remember, the man is MINE.) Me: Erik, what about Gregory Peck? Do you think you can get him for…

Channeling Meher Baba

Channeling Meher Baba

Happy Celebrity Friday everyone! Because I received so many requests from blog members for me to channel Meher Baba, I obediently complied. Enjoy his wisdom. I also want to give you a follow up on my Healing Perspective exercise. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, please read it HERE. I’ve been going…

Channeling Farrah Fawcett

Channeling Farrah Fawcett

Here’s the celebrity interview requested by the winner of the contest! Enjoy Celebrity Friday! Me: I’d like to interview Farrah Fawcett. Can you bring her in, Erik? Robert: Farrah is here, and she’s so sweet! Me: Aw! Robert: Oh, you just wanna hug her! Me: She seems sweet! Robert chuckles. Me: Hi, Ms. Fawcett. How…

Channeling Judy Garland

Channeling Judy Garland

Welcome to our second Celebrity Friday. Today’s guest is Judy Garland. Before you read on, let’s have another contest. Here’s the question: What was Erik’s first set of wheels? The winner gets to submit the next Ask Erik question. All I ask is that the submission is something everyone can benefit from. Please stay away…

Channeling Albert Einstein

Channeling Albert Einstein

Okay, I’m completely flummoxed. I received the following email from a blog member (who shall remain nameless, of course), and I just don’t know what she’s referring to. I’d like to know, because if I’ve done something disrespectful, I need to know so I can change my mindset and behavior. In other words, I’d like…

JFK Four Days Only!

JFK Four Days Only!

I got back from my book signing event in San Francisco late last night. The staff at Book Passages was awesome and a special shout out to Johanna. Good luck with the upcoming baby.  Erik, you help him or her out, okay? We did have a scare though. Thursday night, my double oven went kaput….
