August 2015 "Rants & Raves"

Hello Super Moon!  Yes, we are under the Super Moon as of last night.  This may very well create some restless or scattered energy in you for the next few days.  (Some are emotional as well!)

August has been a wonderful month.  I find it hard to believe that we are now entering the final days of summer!  Although a busy month, I have managed to get a lot done.  Including the installation of Windows 10.  (So far, so good!) 

I did take a weekend off for a quick getaway with my daughter and granddaughter to rent a cabin at a local lake.  (That weekend went by way too fast!)

In addition, we did receive some sad news from a friend in Texas and the loss of her daughter. (You remain in our prayers.)

I am taking my vacation in “Spurts” this year in order to keep up with my appointments as well as Jaselyn.  We do have another weekend getaway lined up in September, as well as some friends coming to visit from out of state.  I am also excited because our County Fair is here as well! (Jaselyn loved this last year!)

As we enter the month of September, I wish all of you a happy and safe holiday weekend as we approach Labor Day.  I also want to give a shout out to my daughter, as her birthday is September 6^th.  (A Virgo.) 

The third and final Mercury Retrograde hits in the month of September, running from September 17^th to October 9^th.  This is the time of the “Unexpected” and to be honest, the energy is a little odd on this one.  Also in September, we welcome the first day of fall on September 23^rd.  This means cooler temperatures, and pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING.

Unfortunately this also means that we have to convert the backyard to our fall setup.  (Something I am NOT looking forward to.)

Looking out into the winter months, the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a rough winter for most of us.  They say that most of the country will see a White Christmas this year.  (I can handle the snow, but not the ice.)

As most of you know, I am now accepting Subscriber’s to the monthly horoscopes, blogs, articles, etc.  This has caused me to go to a conversion process on my email to better accommodate my Subscriber’s.  My email address remains the same, Jackie@ms-swami.com.  However, if you feel that I missed your email or overlooked it in this process, please do not hesitate to email me again!

I am beginning to line things up for the fall months.  Ghost Hunting 101 is being setup for the month of October as well as another Tarot Card Workshop in the month of November.  If you are local, please feel free to join me at Central VA Psychic Development & ParanormalResearch. 

Also in the fall, it appears that there will be a new promotion on the Reiki Course before I retire this edition. 

Other then that, the fall will be full of psychic readings, accounting, my book and investigations.  (Pretty much normal stuff for me!) Let's not forget Halloween!  (The opportunity to be a big kid!)

If you are considering the Weekly Forecast, please look into this quickly.  I only have a couple of more spots to fill for this.  They go out every Sunday via email (Because I can make them a little longer that way.)

The best time to schedule a psychic reading remains between 1pm and 1am EST.  Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

Until next time…

August 2014 "Rants & Raves"

The end of August, that is so hard to believe!  The holidays will be here before you know it! (I am still noticing a lot of signs of an early fall.)

This has been a busy month of trying to pull things together for a schedule for the fall.  I do have another Tarot Card Workshop coming up in the month of September.  (Date pending.)  I will get information out on this as soon as I can.

I am very pleased to see “A Haunting” air this month on Destination America.  The episode “Demons Revenge” was probably the best case that we had.  (There is a blog posted on that case.)  I was also shocked to see that Demon’s Exorcist, from 4 years ago has aired on Destination America this month as well.  (Both of these families are doing great now!)

I had put out a request on Facebook that I am looking for someone local that I have read for that would not mind being filmed.  I have filled that with a couple of back ups and I appreciate all of you that responded!

I am getting several inquiries on Central Virginia PsychicDevelopment & Paranormal Research.  It is indeed my fault that we have not had a meeting recently.  I am currently working on another project that has prevented me from scheduling a date, due to having dates available for this as well. 

Tentatively the plan is to move forward with the Tarot Workshop in September and a Reiki Workshop for certifications.  The month of October by all means, will have something to do with the paranormal.  And for those interested, the next public presentation of Ghost Hunting101, will be held in Mechanicsville in November.

Due to “A Haunting”, I am getting numerous inquires about CVAPI.  Those that we take out are members of Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, so please join, and email me your contact information to Jackie@cvapi.com. 

I am also aware that I have many of the locals looking for psychic readings.  For now, I ask that you please go through my website or email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com to pull something together.  (Don’t forget, that psychic parties are always an option as well.)

This month, I have had numerous questions asked about psychic readings as well as the paranormal, so I want to address them here.

Is there a waiting list for a paranormal investigation?

Yes, sometimes there is.  Extreme cases generally come first and I may have to move someone back. 

Do you only take cases that are considered to be demonic?

No.  90% of our investigations are nothing more than to see if we can confirm paranormal activity.

How much equipment do you take with you?

It depends on the case.  The majority of the time, most, if not all of the equipment does go out with us.  This includes a surveillance system that runs 9 cameras.

Do you only take local cases?

Preferably, but other locations are considered.

When is the best time to catch you for a psychic reading?

Between the hours of 1pm to 1am.

Are your psychic readings cheaper in person?

No.  Although special rates are given for an hour session.

Do you run specials on your psychic readings?

Randomly.  They are posted on Twitter.

Can I split a session with a friend?

For 30 minutes or an hour, YES.  For 15 minutes or an email/chat, NO.

Do you take walk-ins?

NO.

How do I set an appointment with you?

Email me directly at Jackie@ms-swami.com.

(I would like to add, that if you try to reach me by phone and I did not pickup, it is indeed possible that I am on another call at that time.)  Twitter posts are on the front page of my website and will let you know when I am available as well.

I have so many of you that inquire about Jaselyn and she has just turned 9 months old.  I took some time off Monday to go with her and my daughter to the county fair and we ALL had a blast!  Currently I believe my daughter is planning her first birthday party.  Jaselyn also won her first pageant this month.

For those of you that missed “A Haunting” Destination America will rerun that episode this Sunday night the 31^st at 10pm.  (I am more than pleased to see that New Dominion Pictures did a great job on Tiffany’s story!)

As of today, I am finally caught up on emails!  (If I missed yours, please let me know.)  I am currently on a normal schedule and getting ready for horoscopes for September this weekend.

Until next time….

September 2013 "Rants & Raves"

I have been so busy working on varying projects that I am actually patting myself on the back for remembering to update my blog this month. J

I have lots of cool things to discuss while I am sitting here drinking “Candy Corn Coffee” (compliments of my daughter and its delicious!) 

I will start with an update on “Baby J”.  Jaselyn is due November 18^th (A Scorpio).  I have finally finished their room!  If you know me personally than you know I LOVE animal prints with leopard being my favorite.  It was just perfect when we came across the pink leopard print pattern!  The bedding is compliments of our family in Georgia.  My daughter is doing well (and getting bigger each week) and now visits the doctor every two weeks.   I am currently working on her baby shower plans for next month.

I have also spent a lot of time seeking the “Perfect cell phone case”. (I prefer the blinged out ones, but they get hung up in my hair.)  I have finally updated my cell phone and no longer in the stone ages!  I love the fact that my entire business is with me now all the time.  The next upgrade will be a computer.

I have spent the past week in negotiations with a company for a new advertising campaign in the month of October.  Right now this is geared towards the Richmond Market, which is something I have not tried in the past.  I do have the option to run this in other markets across the country, so I will see how well it does.

In the process of working on this advertising campaign, I have successfully crashed my main computer that runs all of my websites.  You may have noticed a couple of glitches in my website in the past week.  As of now, all appears to be well.  However, if you do find a problem PLEASE email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com  Most problems are not found until someone reports them to me.

Saturday September 21^st at 4PM, I am offering my “Tarot Card Workshop” at the local level.  Information can be found on my website.  These are a lot of fun and a LOT of information will be packed into that session.  Drinks and snacks will be provided and it will end with a free Group Gallery Reading for those that participate.  Be sure to reserve your spot asap.  (This is also available online or as private sessions.)

October is just around the corner.  Currently I am setting up for “Ghost Hunting 101”, which is ALWAYS a full house and a crowd pleaser.  Keep your eye on my paranormal website for the date and time.

I have had a lot of compliments to adding my Twitter feed onto the website.  I am still a little new to “Tweeting” but am trying to use this to update you on my availability for readings.

I have had a couple of people wanting to know if I will do any Reiki Certifications at the local level.  I am trying to work this in prior to the holidays, but no promises.

I have a lot of clients that follow me on Twitter, and Facebook.  If you really need to speak to me and message me on these services, please do not feel offended if I do not reply.  The emails on the social sites can tend to be a little overwhelming.  The best way to contact me is directly through my website.

Remember, the best time to catch me for Psychic Readings are between 1PM and 1AM.

On a personal note, Monday will begin Week #6 of a 12-week fitness challenge for me.  To be honest????  I am loving it!  (Yep, shocked me too!)  I am finally seeing results and am actually thinking about pushing it beyond 12 weeks.

Don’t forget that I am always looking for stories for my Examiner column.  Fall and winter months are my favorite times to spend writing.  If you have an idea you would like to run by me, please feel free to shot me an email at Jackie@ms-swami.com

Until next time…
