January 2015 "Rants & Raves"


Happy New Year!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday and a good start to the New Year!



It seems that today, all of my clients up North are bracing for the blizzard of 2015.  We are looking for a dusting to 2 inches here.  (However, February looks sketchy for this area.)  I believe most of us enjoy the snow even as we get older.  (Provided we don’t loose power!)  It does make for some nasty driving conditions so please be careful.

My New Year has gotten off to a good start.  I did take the month of January off from paranormal investigations to work on some writing.  I will have to say that I have enjoyed every single minute of it! 

In other news, Little Miss Jaselyn is walking!  I am honestly surprised to say, that I really think this is much easier than having her as a crawler.  Her vocabulary is coming along nicely and she is spitting out new words each week.

As most of you know, we are currently under Mercury Retrograde until February 11th.  This is the time of the “Unexpected” and can cause anxiety in most, as well as “Technical” problems.  (You may notice that those around you are a little more sensitive or just plain moody.)  This is Retrograde #1 of 3 for 2015.  Each one is hitting hard in the financial sector this year.  This could be from “Good to bad”, meaning it could mean unexpected money coming in, or unexpected expenses of money going out.  (Hoping for the best for everyone!)

My Meetup group Central Virginia Psychic Development &Paranormal Research will have an event each month this year, as it has been way too long.  Next Saturday, January 31st, we will have a “Meet & Greet” for new members.  In addition, we have another local paranormal team joining us as they are taking applications for investigators.  This is open to the public, so if you’re local I hope you will join us.

The next “Tarot Card Workshop” will be on February 21st.  I also anticipate that we will return for a tour of Hollywood Cemetery in the month of March.  My paranormal team, CVAPI will also resume private investigations in the month of February.

March 31st, if you are a history buff, keep your calendars open.  As I will promote a public event for one of my clients.

On that note, I also wanted to state that CVAPI does not specialize in negative haunts as television has put us out there as.  (They were just a couple of cases that fit their shows.)  We are more geared towards “Casper the Friendly Ghost!”

With the turn of the New Year, I have many, many of you looking for me to setup locally for readings.  I am working on putting something together in the month of February, so stay tuned!

I had posted a recent blog of a “Fraud Alert” as well as listing my actual websites.  To my clients , THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for looking out for me!  A couple of times a year a psychic service will run my information as if I work for them when in fact I have never heard of them.  Due to you directly reporting this to me or asking me about it is how I SHUT IT DOWN.  Moving forward in 2015, I will not hesitate to blast them publicly for this!

2015 is a very high-energy year.  It has more of a “Natural flow” to it, than what we have seen in the past few years.  So RELAX & ENJOY!  (A big thank you to all of my clients for making 2014 another successful year and I am looking forward to what 2015 brings to all of us.)

Now to answer a few questions:

Why do I only post specials to Twitter instead of Facebook?
It’s simple, I have a larger audience on Twitter.   The Facebook “Like” page will dictate who will actually see my post on their NewsFeed unless I pay to promote the post.  If I post that special at random hours on Twitter, more people will see it.

Will you have a spot for local readings this year?
I am working on it!  A couple of past locations will be used again this year as well.

What if I have a story for you for that I think you can run in Examiner?
Email me directly at Jackie@ms-swami.com

Do you have anything lined up for the public to go with you ghost hunting this year?
I am currently working on two locations.  It appears the first will be in the spring.

Does your email go through an Admin?
NO!  Your emails are confidential and go directly to me.  Although I don’t always respond because I get backed up from time to time, I appreciate your updates and read them all!

Are you shutting down CVAPI?
Absolutely not!  I have become friends with another local paranormal team and do not mind trying to help them expand.  We do hope to do a couple of joint investigations this year.

When is the best time to contact you for a reading?
1pm to 1am Eastern.  (Varying different times on the weekends.)

Join me on Facebook and Twitter!  Stay safe and stay warm!  Spring is around the corner!

Until next time…

Fraud Alert... "I have never heard of this site" - Jackie Tomlin

This is a screen shot of a psychic website, to which I have never heard of.  They are not returning my phone calls or responding to my emails.  I go through this with "Unknown sites" about 3 times a year.  One had me listed as a "Featured Advisor."


PLEASE be careful in trying to find me on a psychic service.  Obviously I cannot guarantee that it is actually me.  Sad to say, but I credit this to the television appearances.  There are 5 websites that you can LEGITIMATELY reach ME through.  I will list them here:







Any of those 5 websites, will directly reach me.  My clients are generally the ones that find these bogus websites and will contact me.  I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

December 2014 "Rants & Raves"


Is everyone ready for Christmas?  As of today, YES I finally am!  Though we put our Christmas tree up at the beginning of the month, I cannot believe it is the week of Christmas.   Our cat, Roxy, enjoys the tree as much as Jaselyn.

The plan this year is to stick close to home and let Jaselyn enjoy her toys.  I know I have spoke to some of you that will be traveling over the holidays and I wish you all a safe trip.

I was hoping to get a newsletter out this month, but now that looks more like the first part of the year.  To join the mailing list, please email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com.

I will be available for both of the upcoming holidays.  (A couple of hours off here and there.)  And, for the first time, I am taking the month of January off from paranormal investigations.  (A much needed break!) I am pleased that we have another local, reliable team if anything should come up in January.   January I plan to keep up with my psychic readings, Reiki students, and continue to work on my writing project.  (As well as hibernate from any bad weather we may have!)

Don’t forget that when your January horoscopes post, there will be an extra line or two of what you can expect for the upcoming year.

Just what can you expect in 2015?  Actually, pretty much a repeat of this year but stronger in the area of finances.  A LOT of reconnections from the past.  Both people and places.  Also for a lot of you that don’t travel often, there is a lot of travel upcoming in 2015.  Overall, a good year ahead!

For myself, I would have to say that 2014 has been one of the better years for me.  It has been a productive year both personally and professionally and I hope 2015 is even better.  It has been wonderful having Jaselyn around.  My daughter has us establishing new family traditions and I have enjoyed both of them tremendously.

So what do I have planned for 2015?  First and foremost, psychic readings and some updates to my websites. I plan to kick off the first of the year with another Tarot Card Workshop in January.  I have a couple of paranormal investigations that we will do in February and March and start setting up for spring.  I am in process of ideas for Central Virginia Psychic Development &Paranormal Research.  I have a book that should publish in the spring.  (Possibly two, in 2015.)  And there are three separate discussions of filming projects in 2015.  (I will see where that goes, and keep you posted!)  My monthly horoscopes and the monthly blog will stay in place.  Though CVAPI’s YouTube channel stays updated, I hope to work on mine as well.  Oh yeah, VACATION!  I plan to work that as well!  And on a personal note, I have two rooms that I plan to paint.  Of course I always have a new idea or two that I am kicking around as well. 

Join my on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.  (Random specials throughout the month, go out on Twitter.)
Until 2015….

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

November 2014 "Rants & Raves"


I hope this finds that each and every one of you has had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now preparing for Christmas!

It is hard to believe that on November 22nd, we celebrated Jaselyn’s first birthday.  (That first year has flown by!)  It is funny how a new baby in the family can bring about new family traditions.



I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my daughter and granddaughter.  A LOT of food, enjoying the Macy’s Parade, and just some good family time.  I was also able to work in a couple of psychic readings Thanksgiving Day.  Honestly, I feel truly blessed in being able to say that I have too many things that I am grateful for to be able to list!

With all of the commotion of a big birthday party, we are waiting a week before digging out the Christmas tree.  Between our cat and a one-year old that should be an adventure in itself!  I am enjoying our new tradition of “Elf on a Shelf”.  Her name is “Sugar plum” and she can turn up anywhere!

The month of December, the plan is for psychic readings and picking up on some of my writing.  (We do have one paranormal investigation to knock out this week.)  And….my birthday is in December!!!!  (A shout out to all of the Sagittarius out there!)

I do have a couple of specials that will remain in place for the holidays.  The one-hour psychicreading will remain at a reduced rate as well as the Distant Learning Coursefor Reiki Certifications.  I would also like to thank my daughter for her hard work on beginning a new shop on my website! ( I do tend to throw out some random specials on Twitter during the month.)

I do remain available during the holidays, though sometimes it may be later in the evening.  As always the best times to reach me are between 1pm to 1am. 

As we approach Christmas, please be mindful of the scams out there!  Check out this email I got today…(I removed the senders name.)




I guess they forgot that their psychic’s address was in their address book.  And you better believe I replied!  That person is no more at an embassy or robbed than I am!  My heart goes out to anyone that has been scammed.

I do understand that some of you suffer from the “Holiday Blues”.  Please remember that this is ONLY a brief time in the year!  I get a lot of callers from those that don’t want to be alone.  (I would like to remind you that there are worse things in life than being alone!  You could be in some needless drama instead.)

The holidays are what YOU make of them.  Join the shopping crowds and make yourself a stocking, or a stocking for your coworkers or pets.  VOLUNTEER!  Shelters, food banks etc.   Sometimes the greatest gift is giving back to others!  Or simply get out and enjoy the Christmas lights.  It is all up to you.

My next newsletter will go out in December.  Email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com to get on the mailing list.  Join me on Facebook and look for your December horoscopes to go up on Monday.

Have a great weekend!
