A lot of us who have lost a loved one are afraid that they won’t get that warm, fuzzy feeling from them. We need to be slathered with love to replace what we miss, physically, but do spirits love ’em or leave ’em? Me: Erik, does the love spirits feel for those they leave behind…
Annika’s Poem and Erik’s Prank
Less than two years after Erik’d death, his younger sister, Annika, wrote a poignant poem for high school. Its depth belies her young age. She was only 15 years old. I’ve also included the explanation her English teacher required for the assignment. Note: “Red Hands” are a metaphor for her sense of guilt, something all…
Helping Our Deceased Loved Ones
Many of you, including me, have signed up for the upcoming webinar slated to take place December 17th at 6:00 PM EST. To give you a taste, here’s the first one. Since this one, Jamie has improved the audio, and the video isn’t small screen anymore. Due to another glitch, you have to move forward…
The Spiritual Basis of ADHD
I’ve been angry at Erik lately. Im mean pissed. It’s funny, I was never angry at him for taking his life, even the way he did. I don’t know why. Most of his siblings and his father are because of the devastation his death left in its wake. It changed everyone, mostly in a negative way,…
Erik, the Mischief Maker
One thing I forgot to mention about the John Wayne interview: It was conducted over a year ago, well before the IRS scandal. Interesting! Now enjoy this story about Erik’s relentless mischief with a blog member. Who knows? You might be next! Erik steps his pranking to a new level with her. You do not…
Dario and Erik
As you may already know, Erik often visits and pranks blog members, and they very kindly post their experiences on the “Erik Encounters” page under the “About Erik” tab on the top of the homepage. Well, Dario, who I already adore after reading his story, is one of those sharing people. Enjoy his post, and,…
Why Are We Here?, Part One
Looking back on my life, I see the wreckage of tragedy in its wake with only small islands of peace and joy. As I reflect on the dark side of life, I ask myself, ‘Why are we here if only to suffer?’ Is the human experience just some random affair? Is it the cruel joke…
Erik and Our Deceased Loved Ones
As I was sitting outside in today’s drizzly, cozy weather clacking away on my keyboard, I look out of the corner of my eye to see my little 3-pound Yorkie, Bella, wrestling a squirrel to the ground. She’s an avid squirrel hunter, but has never caught one in her almost one and a half years of…
Best of Erik: Dying to Live
After I told my daughter, Michelle, about Erik’s visit to Mariana, she felt happy for yet another sign of his continued existence, but she also felt a little sad that he had not given her a sign in such a long time. After all, Michelle and Erik were very close. They did nearly everything together….
A Three-fer
The following is an eclectic mix of topics that Erik covers, but each was so short that I felt compelled to compile them all together so you guys wouldn’t feel robbed. With some of them, I’m obviously going to have to prod him for more information, but this is a start! For those of you who…
Best of Erik: A Visit to Aunt Laura
I’m happy to announce the winner of the Ask Erik drawing, Hyla M. Also, Tim W. was the first person to guess Erik’s favorite sport involving his truck: mudding. His truck was a mess for months after the last mudding, and his transmission, which took a beating, had to be overhauled last year. Expensive sport,…
He Doesn’t Write; He Doesn’t Call!
Book season is around the corner, and I’ve been contemplating my second one. In it, I would love to include appropriate personal stories from you at the beginning of each section. Your input is important, because you’re my second family. Here’s a poll that will help steer me in the right direction. Note that personal…
Erik’s Voice Caught on Radio Show
Not long ago, Jamie, Erik and I were guests on a radio show, Angels in the Buff. The host sent me the mp3 of the segment along with a comment that she may have heard a voice on the recording. Intrigued, I checked it out and oh yeah, big time EVP. In it, Erik shouts…
Are You Whole or Skim?
I’m just about to leave for the Channeling Erik Weekend of F-ing Enlightenment. I’m beyond excited! Can’t wait to meet you guys who are going, too. I won’t be posting tomorrow, but when I get back, I can’t wait to transcribe and post both my first session with Robert and Erik’s answer to Marcie’s Ask…
Jesse’s Convo with Erik
Blog member, Daniel Lucas (who is a real sweetheart) made this for us. He’s so talented, I thought he was a graphic designer or some other type of artist. As far as the poll on the CE Facebook closure, it looks like 11% want it closed. I had an epiphany. When there is drama or…
Erik Does it Up Big!
OMG guys, I had such an eventful day yesterday. When I announced that EVP contest, I got to thinking, “I should try that!”n My current voice recorder is kind of old, so I reluctantly decided to buy a new one, the ZOOM H1. I say reluctant, because I’m mentally challenged when it comes to these…
Do Spirits Age, Sleep, Dream and More?
I am so happy to be back home after 9 freaking days of medical courses and other stuff. My little Yorkie about had a seizure, she was so excited to see me. My husband said she’s been moping around the whole time I was gone. I’d like to extend a huge thank you to Mike…
What Erik Misses the Most, Part Two
I’m still in San Diego for grueling work-related stuff. The weather has been gorgeous. A pity since I only go outside when I travel from my room to the workplace. Sigh. I should be back late Tuesday. I miss my whole family so much, including my little 3 pound Yorkie, Bella. She misses me so…
Spirit Pranks, 101
One of my favorite things about Erik, other than his wisdom, his humor, his hugs–oh I could go on–is his pranks. In fact, just today he sent me an oh so rank smell. It was kind of like a mix of dirty socks and dog crap. Ambrosia? I think not. Let’s find out how he…
The Thoughts of Baby Spirits
I had the most beautiful lucid dream last night with Erik. I rarely dream about him, even right after his death, so I miss these wondrous encounters. In the dream, he looked ten feet tall. His hair was curly, not short-cropped like it was just before he took his life. I asked him how it…
Honesty is the Best Policy
Yesterday, when I went to bed (before I fell asleep) I felt someone’s hands on the top of my head gently trying to lift it off like the lid on a jar. An empty jar? You be the judge. I’ve never felt that sensation before. Only goosebumps. And it felt like actual hands. I knew…
Odds and Ends
It’s a beautiful day here in sunny Houston so I’m writing outside today, keeping an eye on my three pound Yorkie to make sure she doesn’t get swept up by a hawk. It happens. Not long ago, I found two squirrel paws freshly lopped off, I guess the hawk doesn’t care for dark meat. Enough…
911, What’s Your Emergency?
Well, I’m getting ready to take off on my tour. I’m a little nervous, so I’m hoping you guys will send me some good Voodoo vibes. Of course it helps for me to know that this is bigger than me and my ego. This is for my son, for you, and for anyone in the…
Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall
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….
