January "Rants and Raves"

Keeping true to my promise, I will give you all some of my “rants and raves”. This is also a great opportunity to answer some of the questions that I am asked most often.
On the paranormal side of things, CVAPI stays busy. I have actually turned down more cases than I have accepted the last few months. Since the airing of our case on the Animal Planet, it seems that I have a lot of families out there with a focus on television. This has caused us to up the screening process on the cases that we do take.
Is my house haunted? I hate using the word “Haunted”, so I think I will go with “Spiritually Inhabited”, lol. My daughter and I used to write down all of the random events that occurred here, and it just became too much. Now, I want to add that there is nothing “Scary” here, but we can be very active at times. Has anyone else had experiences there? Yes, several and some nothing at all. I believe it depends on the person. If you have a fear of the paranormal nothing seems to happen. (I do try hard not to bring my work home with me!) Now onto the psychic realm of things…
When is a good time to get a reading with you? My availability continues to vary. I have clients all over the US, Canada, United Kingdom, and a few other countries. For the most part, you are almost guaranteed to catch me between the hours of 1:00PM and 1:00AM. (Eastern Time.)
How often should I get a reading? Only you know that answer. It depends on the person and the situation. When things from your prior reading start to pass, this is generally the time to see what else lies ahead.
Do you ever plan to have a local storefront? NO, I enjoy reading locally at events. (The thought of a sign out front makes me cringe!) My office is located in my home, and I do not offer readings here. I am at Sideline CafĂ© locally every Tuesday night and sometimes on Saturday’s during the day to accommodate schedules. Another personal fact, I don’t like psychic fairs. I think all readings are personal no matter what length of time and I don’t like reading among a group of people. (Not to mention that the energy is CRAZY!) Now onto the personal side of things….
Do you have any pets other than your cat and dog? No, and these two are a handful! I post a lot of pictures of them on Facebook. “Sasha” is a Siberian Husky who is by my side all the time. (That is right, she hears all of your readings, lol) Actually Sasha is very aggressive. I don’t view myself as her “Master” but rather “Her person”, she has me trained well. She only likes to go outside when she deems it necessary. “Roxy” is my daughter’s cat, these two live in harmony “most” of the time. For those that know the temperament of a Maine Coon, what can I say….she is NUTS.
How do you spend your time off? Like most, with family and friends. Things I do enjoy are reading, and here lately drawing. I do take the time to play Trivia with friends every Thursday evening. I am not a gamer, but I have recently switched from playing Angry Birds to Words With Friends, it’s a good pass time. Another favorite for “Me Time” is going to the gym. (I know strange, but I actually enjoy going.)
I am super excited about an upcoming trip to New Jersey and NYC at the end of this month. (I will be sure to post about it.) I am scaling back on a few things this year to make room for more things that I enjoy. One of those things are radio shows, I will continue to appear as a guest from time to time, but not as often. I have had some ask about our past radio show, and as of now, I don’t intend to do that this year. (I say that now, we shall see.) It takes a lot of time to produce a weekly show. I am hoping that this will allow more time for get togethers with my meetup group Central VA Psychic Development and Paranormal Research.
I also have a couple of books stuck in my head that I would like to take the time to work on. One is almost complete. (Writing is another of my favorite pass times as I find it relaxing!) I also like to watch television, though I don’t always take the time to do so. I think most are surprised that I actually spend very little time watching paranormal television shows. Which one is my favorite? Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. I like reality tv, The Housewives Series, Black Gold, true crime shows, and Lifetime. (Who doesn’t like Lifetime? And yes, I am including the men out there on that as well!)
Even though I choose to work as a psychic because I like helping people. I think most are surprised to learn that I live a very normal life. Until next time…

2011 in review and upcoming for 2012

It amazes me how quick this year has gone by. All in all, it has not been a bad year, but it did come with more challenges than most. That applies to my clients as well as my daughter and myself. However all is well with everyone! Hardships are chalked up to “Life’s lessons”, and we would not be complete without them. For those that know me, know that I am very much into “Things happen for a reason.”
In a nutshell, across the board, 2011 has not been an easy year on my clients. The economy has hit some harder than others. I am happy to report that those that were hit are fairing well. When hard times hit, always remember to keep it positive. Look at what you do have verses what you don’t have.
What was new for me in 2011? Traveling to some events, national television, a lot more radio shows and FACEBOOK! Yes, I can say that Facebook is by far my new addiction! It has given me the opportunity to “mingle” with some of my clients that are out of state, the opportunity for some of my clients to get to know me on a more personable level, and some Facebook friends that have turned into clients. As well as the opportunity to reunite with long lost family and friends.
For those that don’t have Facebook, I will make a point to start posting to this blog on a more regular basis in 2012. I get LOTS of emails that ask questions about me as a person. Sometimes I forget, that you really don’t “know” me or who I am. So for 2012, I will post more blogs that are geared towards me and my rants and raves.
Now onto the big picture…What can you expect for 2012? First of all, I am not one of those that believe the World will end in 2012. Nor am I one of those psychics that like to post predictions for the year. (I find that very irritating, when they are yelling I predicted that!) With that said let me give you some basic generalizations for the upcoming year.
So on a whole for 2012….in one word “Changes”. The good and the bad? Lets get “The bad” out of the way first. There will indeed be an increase in natural disasters this year that will lead a lot to start yelling that the end is here. (Keeping locations out of this, but it does apply to the US as well.) The presidential election, this is going to be a mess. (Enough said on that for now, wait and see what happens). Banking and financial institutions are going to take a really hard hit this year resulting in some radical changes. (More so than what you have seen in the last couple of years.) And unfortunate but true, I look for the death announcement of a very well known psychic. If you are in Virginia, beware of the weather in January! It will be nasty! (Also we haven’t seen the big quake yet, but it’s coming.)
Now for the good news. This is an incredible year of “Reuniting”. From relationships to family this shows a definite increase for 2012. Those that have suffered hardships in the past 3 years will begin to reap their rewards in 2012 in all areas of their lives. On personal levels, “What was lost will now be found, and what was missing will be replaced”. Living in a World of science, the Metaphysical comes out strong this year, as well as many scientists that will participate in Metaphysical studies. (This is pertaining to healing). Now, what you need to know… If you need to make amends with someone now is the time to do so. I say this because a lot of karma is coming in to those that have done others wrong in 2012. (Timing is everything.)
On a whole most people’s “Perspective” will switch to a positive stance in 2012. I can say as a psychic, I am pleased at seeing this and the energy surrounding it is wonderful.
Changes for me in 2012? Though as a psychic I don’t read well for myself, but so far I like what I see. One of the things I do see is more face-to-face meetings with some that I have read for a very long time. I am super excited about this! I look for a lot more outings with my Meetup group and my paranormal team, CVAPI coming on strong yet again. The first of the year I will be working on my new book inspired by my Ghost Hunting 101 presentation, and I am actually excited about this.
Now for my rant….If I read one more thing from a psychic on how to prepare for 2012, I honestly think I will puke. Everyone please, please, please be warned of the psychic scams that I can see coming from this. No one can sell you fairy dust to fix your problems and the year 2012 is NOT as bad as some are making it out to be!
To all of you I wish you nothing but the best for 2012 in all areas of your life. And THANK YOU for another amazing year!
Jackie

p.s.
To my trivia buddy Dave, (on an opposing team I might add), who didn’t think I would mention him in my blog….Wishing you the best in 2012!!! Oh yeah, if Cheryl ends up on an opposing bowling team New Year’s Eve I hope she kicks your butt! She will represent the “female species” well!

The month of November 2011

I normally don't take the time to post about a month in general. However, in doing the horoscopes this month, I am amazed at what looks like one CRAZY month ahead of us in November.
It is true that Mercury Retrograde begins November 24th. However, this one does not appear to reek the chaos it normally does. In fact, I see nothing but positive changes for this particular Retrograde.
The best I can describe the entire month of November is extremely high energy, or more so than what I have seen in well over a year. This is absolutely the month of the "unexpected", but to a positive effect.
What kind of strange occurrences can you expect this month? Almost anything. This is the month that the impossible seems to take place. Items you lost, will be found, people you thought would never unite, will. It is a month when all the odds work for you instead of against you and the cliche' of "opposites attract" begin to materialize. New beginnings are at hand in all areas.
The down side to this...
Anticipate a LOT of restless energy.
