Erin Kay's Blog

My 1st Book Awakened Children is now published and available on Amazon. The link is below. If you could leave me a review on Amazon would be greatly appreciated. Hope Everyone enjoys reading our family story!!

Awakened Children is Erin Kay’s first book, inspired by her
children. She resides in Carleton Place, Ontario with her
husband and their two daughters. Erin attended Mohawk
College, where she obtained a diploma in Communications
Media. She loves being active with her family, playing baseball,
downhill skiing, and golfing. Erin is devoting her life to educating
families about how children connect to spirit. By providing
knowledge and tools, parents can support their children from a
place of faith rather than fear. Following a life-and-death
experience while pregnant with her first child, Erin began an
awakened spiritual journey, learning that we can all connect with
spirit as long as we believe and remain open to the signs.

We attended my god father’s funeral 2 weekends ago. I had a feeling he would come through at some point during the weekend.

His oldest son read the most beautiful Eulogy I have ever heard in my life. Here is a little of what was said;

“I don’t know how to capture the magnitude of how much dad meant to all of us. When I think back to the span of his teaching career, coaching career and all the time that preceded it, the countless number of people he left a lasting imprint on is reflected in the numerous messages that people have left over the last week. This task seems infeasible.

How do you sum up 73 years in 5 minutes, I’m not sure….but here goes…

As I sat down to write this eulogy to think of a way to honour our father and to express how much he meant to our family, there was one word that kept coming to mind. I’m not sure why, maybe it was because it brought back childhood memories, but I think it was because it brought feelings of joy and positivity, something Dad always was.

It’s not a real word, more of a nonsensical word. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as “a nonsense word, originally used, especially by children, and typically expressing excited approbation”. It’s from the Disney Musical Mary Poppins, and we all know how much dad loved his musicals as was evident is his numerous renditions of Gene Kelly’s Singing in the Rain, umbrella and all.

That word is…..Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious:

As I thought more about that word, I realized how each part of this word described dad so perfectly.”

Super- Meaning Big and Grand.

Cali- Meaning beauty. (He had such a beautiful heart)

Fragilistic- Meaning delicate.

Expiali- Meaning to atone.

Docious Meaning educable.

During one part of the Eulogy his son said

“I have always said that there is only one real superhero…Superman….well Dad was our Superman.”

At this very moment my God Father made himself known…

His 2 year old grandson was sitting beside his mother in the front row of the church. He pointed just above his uncle giving the eulogy at the front of the church and said

“superman’s right there”

She looked at him and said “what?”

He said superman again and pointed. She looked and nothing was there. She said she thought maybe he was talking about the stained glass at the front of the church.

He pointed for a third time and said “superman is right there” pointing directly above his uncles head. She told him quietly to put down his hand and quiet down.

When we truly listen to our children beautiful messages will come through. This was a gift for our family. A beautiful message from spirit showing us he is still with us, guiding us, and providing forever unconditional love. Thank you for coming through! I love you.

“Awakened Children”

2022

I have been absent for a little while as I have been busy writing my book “Awakened Children” which I’m now excited to say has deadlines in place. I am hoping to publish 2022 and will continue to keep everyone informed on its progress. I have also been putting together an authors website I will soon be sharing.

There are many positive and exciting things to look forward to in my life however a week ago there was a very tragic, sad, human experience that happened within our family.

I lost my godfather who was very dear to my heart. He was like a second father to my siblings and I. It was completely unexpected and has been a terrible shock to family and friends.

He was an amazing soul who I am so very proud to call my godfather.

Here were some beautiful words written by his family for his obituary;

As a dedicated teacher and caring Principal, he had an immeasurable impact on so many. Over his 35 years as an educator, his love of physical education and his belief that everyone can succeed, inspired countless students and colleagues. His deep commitment to learning and inclusivity was unparalleled in his field.
He left a giant footprint that influenced so many people. This was especially evident in his role as a coach and mentor. His tremendous impact will continue to live on through the numerous athletes and coaches he worked with. His jovial and infectious spirit will always be remembered through his family and friends. His legacy is one that we are honoured to carry on for him. 
As Dad always said, “Teach gently, entertain greatly!”

With all that I know spiritually I find the grief unbearable at times. It has been a roller coaster of emotions. For some reason I cannot seem to grasp the fact that he is gone and I will never see him again here in the physical.

I thought to myself this past week why is this so unbelievably difficult for me being as spiritual as I am? You should know this is my first true loss in my adult life. I have lost grandparents but I was young and the emotions were different. I have yet to experience the raw human emotions that comes with losing a loved one as an adult.

I was writing with my writer this past Sunday and told her in so many words I felt like I needed to be stronger for my family because I am so spiritual but was struggling with my own emotions. She was able to put it into perspective and said “You are still human Erin and this a tremendous loss so allow yourself to grieve.”

I am spiritual and know with every part of my being there is life after death and we all reunite with our loved ones but I also know we are all still human and feel all of the human emotions that come with grief.

This past week I have been seeing how grief affects everyone in completely different ways. Some become very strong and quiet with little emotion, some are in denial, some get angry, some want to talk it out, there are many ways people grieve. I cope best with difficult experiences in my life by writing. Heck I wrote a book on spirit to deal with all of our experiences over the years. When I’m feeling sad or anxious writing seems to bring me to a calm and peaceful place.

I posted this tribute to my godfather on social media & it did bring me some peace knowing I will see him again.

My heart is completely broken I loved you for 40 years here in the physical & I will continue to love you for the next 40 years until I cross over to the other side and give you the longest & biggest hug. You were given the role as my godfather but were so much more. You were mine, and my siblings second father. You were there for every major milestone in our lives. We could always count on you to show up and be present. Your heart was so big and you would do anything for family. Having you & our Aunt in our corner all these years has been a true gift & blessing in our lives. I will forever cherish you dancing with my sister and I to your go to song for us “My Girl” or taking my brother under your wing, & teaching him to play and fall in love with the sport of basketball. I knew when I walked into a room with you I would always, and forever be your Er Bear.

You were one of the brightest lights in my life & I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My sister found the 1st photo (a photo that I had shared on social media) with my daughter & Riley and it took my breath away as she pointed out how it encompasses every single part of my Book. Your death has shown me the magnitude of true grief and the unconditional love I have for you & love I know will surround me for the rest of my life. You have been a huge part of my journey & your passing is now part of my story. I will love you always & forever!! All the way up to the sky and back down again times a billion the sky never ends!!

I will see you on the other side.

I am spiritual but I am still human and this loss is one of the greatest I will feel and experience in this lifetime. He hasn’t reached me yet but I know he will visit when I am truly ready to receive.

“Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love.”- unknown

When I was 18 years old I had a reading done by a minister in Paris Ontario. She told me my Papa was my guardian angel. When my spiritual awakening happened 9 years ago a deer was present and I knew my papa was coming through. The Full story is in my Book “Awakened Children” I see deer often but two Saturday’s ago we were in Mont Tremblant and I went to get my daughter’s bunny from our truck. Walking back this magical moment happened.

This past week as I was brainstorming about how my authors website should look and I started to have a bit of fear creep in.  A human emotion we all face throughout our lives here in the physical.  I was starting to question my book asking myself, who am I to have an author’s website??  Why am I going forward with writing and publishing this book??  Is my knowledge of spirit enough to provide guidance?? 

I had to take a step back from those negative thoughts and turn my awareness to trust in the process, stay in the present and know what I am doing is for the highest good.  God has blessed me with the gift of my girls being born awakened and myself now awakened to share our story and knowledge of spirit, to serve and to help as many people as we possibly can.

I started reading the book “Dying To Be Me” By Anita Moorjani.  In her first chapter she wrote  “ I somehow knew that in some way, I was meant to inspire thousands maybe tens of thousands. But it wasn’t clear how I was meant to do so–I just knew that in some way, I was going to be helping a lot of people. I specifically got a feeling that I didn’t need to do anything for this to happen; I just had to be myself and enjoy life, and to allow myself to be an instrument for something much greater to take place. “   After I read this I felt an immediate shift and a knowing in my soul which I have known for quite some time that writing my Book is just the beginning of my journey to help many people in this world. 

Another shift came yesterday when an amazing gift was given to me again validation that the work I am doing with spirit is needed.  A friend of a friend had taken a few photo’s at a local graveyard about a week ago.  When she went back and looked at the photo’s she was surprised to see outlines of spirit taking form.  What is magnificent about these photos is that they were captured during the day.  Photos of spirits in form are very rare especially during daylight.  To be shown these photos and given the OK to put them up on my Blog is a true gift from God.  Thank you to the lady who took these photos and thank you Spirit.  Enjoy!!!!!

You can see an outline of a male spirit by the tall Gravestone.

Zoomed in on the photo do you see him?

Behind the small grave you can see a young boy’s spirit around the age of 10 wearing a white collar shirt, darker hair. There looks to be a male spirit standing behind him.

Have A Great Weekend

In my previous posts you have heard me talk about the store Amethyst and how connected I am to this spiritual store. I have done some spiritual work out of the store and have worked many days at the front desk helping customers. This spiritual store is a huge part of my book and I thought for this Blog post it would be nice to hear from the owner Tricia of how Amethyst came to be;

Divine Guidance – A Story of Inspiration & Trust

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tricia Booker and I was born in Perth Ontario December 08, 1975 at 4:00am. My sun is in Sagittarius, my rising is in Scorpio and my moon is in Aquarius. I have always been drawn to tarot readings, astrology, psychic reading and the Moon.

I can remember as a child, laying on the backseat of my parent’s car trying to always find the Moon in the sky as we were driving. My mother told me I would ask her the same question every time I would see the Moon “Mom why is the Moon following us?” she would reply “the moon isn’t following us! We are moving and it just looks like that.”

I wanted to write something to inspire readers and customers on how the store came to be, and to never give up but always keep pushing forward no matter what it may look like. We all experience fear throughout our lives but no matter how much fear you may have anything is possible. I tell this to customers at Amethyst every single day. I also share daily with customers how Amethyst started.

When divine is guiding, it doesn’t take long for them to let you know it’s time to get to work. Before jumping into how Amethyst came to be, I need to start at the very beginning, before I realized the Universe was putting me on what I call the fast track, aligning and preparing me for what was to come.

October 2019, I joined a class called Introductory to Psychic Development by Trevor Couturier of Infinity Spiritual Healing. My Reiki Master Denise mentioned it to me thinking I would enjoy it. It was being held at her shop Lotus Wings. The class ran for five weeks. It was a really fun class. I was nervous though as I was with people that had seen spirit, felt spirit and could communicate with spirit. I sure did not do any of those things! I thought to myself maybe perhaps I shouldn’t have taken the class and it was out of my league. Me being me, I stuck with it knowing it came into my awareness for a reason.

This class is where I first met Erin Kay. When I first saw her, I thought she looked so familiar and asked if she was from around here. She said no she was from outside of Toronto a city called Brantford. I thought to myself no I definitely do not know her but I couldn’t get over the feeling as though we had met somewhere before. The introductory class went so well that Erin and I signed up the advanced class.

Our first night of the advanced class Erin and I met Michele Laughlin for the first time. We all felt very familiar with one and other, it was amazing!!! Michele has now been a mentor throughout this journey for both of Erin and myself. She is like our second mom.

Our third advanced class we were all sitting around chatting with each other. I had mentioned that it’s too bad someone wouldn’t open up a spiritual store in Carleton Place. A store that would also offer healing meditation classes, readings and healing merchandise. Trevor had mentioned that he had been asked to do something like this in Carleton Place but he knew it wasn’t for him. Keep in mind I had only suggested the idea. The next thing I knew Erin was jumping out of her seat saying “Oh I know of a storefront that just came available for rent, its right across the street from my work.” The next thing I knew others in the class were telling me if I were to open a store they would rent space from me to do readings, classes etc. I laughed, and told them I was only suggesting the idea. Well that idea became a reality and Amethyst was born!!!!!

Hello Everyone

Sorry for the delay with the Cards some of you picked a couple of weeks ago. Life has been a bit hectic with working part time now and homeschooling. Ontario Canada is in another lockdown so finding the time with two little girls is a bit tricky.

Here are the cards meanings. I always use the Oracle of the 7 Energies Deck by Colette Baron-Reid. I love this Deck. I pick a card every morning as part of my morning routine to see what spirit wants me to know for the day.

Card #1

Card #2

Card #3

Sending Love & Light

Erin

Here is a sneak peek, the outline of my book my amazing writer put together. I feel so blessed spirit has allowed me to write this book and allow me to eventually put it into the world. Thank you spirit. I will post the meaning of the cards picked on last weeks Blog tomorrow Saturday.

Enjoy your Friday Evening

Love & Light

Erin

I had an old friend from my hometown Brantford, Ontario reach out this past week. We haven’t spoken in years but I always knew he was a beautiful soul so wasn’t that surprised to hear he has been on his own spiritual journey. We scheduled a zoom chat in a week and I look forward to hearing about his journey and answering any questions he may have about the spiritual world. I hope to answer many questions in the future and help many families through my Book with their own spiritual journeys.

To be honest my writer and I laugh about how people don’t ask me questions. When I decided to come out with spirit and write my Book a year ago I have yet to be asked many questions. I mean don’t get me wrong my close girlfriends back home have asked questions and my family but in general there hasn’t been the flow of questions I originally thought there would be. My writer thinks that people are scared to know about the spiritual world as it can be intimidating to some. It could also be Covid and not being able to see anyone or maybe people are just waiting to read the Book????

Whatever the case may be I thought for this Blog post I would leave it open to questions. Ask me anything about spirit and my family and I will respond with the answers on next weeks blog post.

I also have the urge to pick cards this week. Pick card #1, #2 or #3 from left to right and comment with the number of the card. I will post the cards meanings next week.

Sending Love & Light

This past Thursday April 15th I turned 40.  It’s hard to believe 40 years have already gone by.  As much as I was dreading this birthday I woke up on the day thinking to myself wow 40 is truly a milestone. I had this overwhelming feeling that life is just starting for myself and my family. My dream of writing my book is now a reality and will be published in my 40’s. Dreams do really come true and I am ready for this next chapter.

We are in another state of emergency with a stay at home order in Ontario Canada.   My family, friends and I weren’t able to celebrate the way we would have liked, however we will celebrate properly once the pandemic is over.

It has been one week since we lost our beloved Riley.  All I have wanted for my birthday was to have her come forward in spirit.  I started to pray to spirit last Sat asking for this.  My husband and I decided to set our night motion camera up in the living room beside the blanket where she spent her final days in her bed.  We put the camera up on Sunday night.  On Sunday and Monday night the motion detector would go off 12 times throughout the night.  I have an app on my phone that is linked to the camera and sends an alert when there is movement.  It then saves the videos taken.  Each morning I would go through each video.   The motion detector would alert the app however the camera did not move in these videos.  In most of the videos you could see shadows but nothing substantial like orbs etc. 

On Wed morning I was going through the footage from Tuesday night and at 3:00am the motion detector actually moved the camera.  I was shocked.  To the left of the camera you can see the back end of our dog Riley and her tail wagging with excitement.  I ran downstairs to show my husband.  He was also shocked as we have never seen anything like it before and believe me we have a lot of videos we have taken in our home.  He said “Well we now know Riley is here with us” I then showed my daughter and her response was “Mommy I want to see her full body”.  I told her this could still happen but for now this is what Riley was giving to us and it’s a gift. 

It was truly the best 40th birthday gift I could have ever received.  Thank you spirit. Riley will forever be with us. We love you our sweet angel.

To the left of the camera you can see Riley’s back end and her tail wagging.
