December "Rants & Raves"
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays? I am most certain that this caught your attention. My December newsletter went out this month
and it was signed, “Merry Christmas, Jackie”.
Apparently, I have offended some in doing so. With that said, I think I will make December’s blog a little
about my beliefs.
First of all, I come from a Baptist family. My Grandmother who was a Sunday school
teacher and led the missionary meetings for our church and she raised me. My Grandfather passed when I was 12 years
old and was a Deacon at our church for 17 years. Growing up, going to church for me was not an option, you just
did.
So what do I believe in?
Christianity. I believe in God
and Angels. I believe in the bible and
that everything in it did happen. But I
also believe that in “Freedom of religion”, we dissected the Bible into our own
beliefs and adopted unified religion such as Baptist, Catholics, etc. Bottom line, I believe in it all.
With that said, I also have friends that are Pagans and
Wiccans. You may be surprised to learn
that we carry many similarities and it does not mean they are bad people. They respect my beliefs the way I respect
theirs.
In doing a medium reading I can indeed see the other
side. I can also read Tarot cards
fluently. Does this make me a bad
person because I am able to do something that others can’t? I don’t believe so. I do fully believe that it is a gift and for
some unknown reason, I see things that others do not. Many have asked if I ever had a near death experience, and the
answer is yes. I had a full cardiac arrest in 1991. I can say that things did not begin then, but did become much
stronger after the fact.
Through working with the paranormal, I have also learned
that evil exists as well. I think they
go hand in hand. How can you believe in
good and not evil, or vice versa? I
have also found with each of those cases that they have done something to draw
it in to them.
Now to answer another question. Do I ever regret working as a full time psychic? That answer is simple, not at all. I just wish I would have embraced it and
done it sooner than I did. I find a
career in assisting people in need very fulfilling.
So back to the original question….Merry Christmas or Happy
Holidays? I would have to say MERRY
CHRISTMAS, because that is what I choose to celebrate.
Now, moving on to December, I hope everyone had a Merry
Christmas. My daughter and I certainly
did, and we had a wonderful Christmas with my mother. I also was able to reconnect with a cousin that we have not seen
in some time. In addition to sneaking a
little time off.
I still have the Reiki Course on sale for $99 and have had a
good response. I am currently trying to
make some decisions on this. I am
toying with the idea of keeping the rate reduced as long as I don’t become
overwhelmed with students. The other
idea I am toying with is establishing a forum or facebook group or something
for those students or for those with just a common interest. Of course that will be announced when I
figure it all out! Do I use Reiki on
myself? ALL THE TIME!
I am getting many, many emails asking about a New Years
reading. The email reading is up and
available at www.ms-swami.com. I will set up something for a New Years
Special beginning New Year’s Eve running through the first week of
January! Details coming soon!
I will also be cranking out another book in 2013, and will
have that underway in the next few upcoming weeks. For the locals, Central Virginia Psychic Development &Paranormal Research, we did not get to do a lot in 2012. Most of this was due to the uncertainty of
my mother’s health. Though I do not
intend to let the group go, I will call on others in 2013 to assist me in
organizing events.
I can say that I have rather enjoyed committing to updating
my blog at least once a month and plan to keep up with that commitment in
2013!
I thank you all for another amazing year, your feedback,
your input and everything that you share with me. May you all have a safe and Happy New Year!!!!

November "Rants & Raves"
First of all YES I am aware that it is now December. It appears that I ran out of month trying to
get my blog up for November!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I certainly did. I cooked this year and can say that I actually enjoyed it! I find it hard to believe that Christmas is
right around the corner.
My December newsletter should be going out sometime today,
if you would like to get on the mailing list please send me an email to Jackie@ms-swami.com. I try to only send one out once a
quarter. I say this because I
personally hate getting blown up with needless emails, and certainly hope my
newsletter is not viewed that way!
I also have a couple of local events coming up in the month
of December. With my paranormal team
CVAPI, and author Pamela K. Kinney there will be a book signing and hands on
paranormal investigation at “The River Road House” featured in her latest book
Haunted Richmond II. This will be held
on December 8th, for more information please visit www.cvapi.com.
My next event is Monday December 10th at Brass
Monkey in Chester Virginia. This is a
“Body wrap” party open to everyone.
Also, you will meet our leader, Wendy Gano, Presidential Diamond, and
she can tell you how she did it in a year.
In other exciting news, I was asked to publish my 2013
predictions for a publication that I am very excited about and will announce
this as it becomes available!
My schedule for psychic readings will remain the same in the
month of December as I am looking forward to sticking close to home with my
family for the holidays. What else
occurs in December? My birthday! Hats off to all you Sagittarius out there!
Now to answer some questions…. These questions are coming from “Caroline in South Carolina”, a
long time client of mine.
Do psychic abilities run strong in your family? Somewhat. You hear many stories of how they skip a generation etc. However, my daughter is a very gifted
medium. My mother carries a few
abilities and can track it back to her great grandmother. Overall, I think its hard to say, because
they are rarely discussed. I can say
everything I have found has come from my Mother’s side of the family.
Is Sasha your only pet?
No, she is my Siberian Husky.
She is 12 years old and with me ALL the time. (She is like the “Busch Bean Dog”, she hears all of your readings
so be glad she can’t talk!) I also have
“Roxy” our cat, she is a Maine Coon and spoilt rotten as well.
Do you ever leave your area or go out of state for
psychic readings? Not very often,
but I have before. I expect you will
see a lot more of this upcoming in 2013!!!
Do you spend a lot of time doing psychic readings for
your family and friends? Probably
not as often as you would think. My
family and friends were the ones that pushed me to do this full time, and I am
grateful that they did. When the need
arises, or in a crisis, they know I am there.
I guess being friends with a psychic can have its advantages!
What is your favorite way to spend your spare time? Spare time, what is that? Lol. I guess it depends on the seasons. My favorite time of the year is spring and
summer so those spare moments are generally spent on an activity outside. I enjoy anything from cook outs with friends
to hanging out in the park. In the fall
and winter months, the best way for me to spend my spare time is with a good
book. I love to read! The problem is finding the time to do so.
That’s all for now guys and gals! Until next time…
