January 2017 "Rants & Raves"

Happy New Year everyone!  It is always nice to see the start of a new year to see what this year will bring in.

This has been a crazy busy month for me.  Mostly paperwork.  Closing out 2016 and my daughter’s accounting as well.  We did see a good snow in January and I imagine that we will see one more in February.  Although I am not fond of cold weather spring will be here in just a few weeks!

The majority of the changes are now in place on my website.  After many requests, I have reinstated the 800# at the regular rate. (I will keep this as long as we do not run into any technical problems.)  There will be no rate increase for 2017.

The best time to catch me is between 1pm and 1am.  However, I am starting a new project in the month of February, so I may eventually change this.  There is always a live calendar to show when I am available.

I plan to bring the Meetups back with Central VA PsychicDevelopment & Paranormal Research.  Since February is a short month, I will probably go ahead and schedule this for the month of March.

For those of you interested in Reiki, this is an excellent time to get started!  This is the first time in awhile that I have everyone caught up on their certifications.  If you have any questions you can email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com.  This is designed to work at your own pace, and group discounts are available.

My next newsletter will go out in the month of March and you can subscribe here.

Don’t forget to check out your horoscopes on the first!

Until next time…

December 2016 "Rants & Raves"

Christmas is this weekend!  I don’t think I have been this excited about Christmas in years.  I give that credit to Jaselyn’s three-year-old spirit running around here.  We have all had an exciting month of going to church with her, and of course the Elf on the Shelf!  (Although she was NOT happy when she caught the elf eating the Christmas cookies she had made.) The countdown for Santa to arrive is officially on and she is very excited!

A really big THANK YOU to all of you that take the time out of your day to keep us in your thoughts.  This time of year I get emails from everyone that just make all of my efforts worthwhile.  I love hearing your stories and seeing photos of your families and the recipes you send.  Totally awesome!  I also want to give a special thanks and shout out to Patty and Nikki.  (Ironically, both of these ladies are in New Jersey.)  Thank you for all that you do and for just being YOU!

Usually this is the time of year that I post my predictions for the upcoming year.  Overall, I don’t believe 2016 has been a “Bad” year, but it hasn’t been an “Easy” year in general.  I am looking for 2017 to be easier with more of a natural flow to it.  This year I have done things differently by making those predictions a little more personable by the zodiac signs.  You will find those videos on YouTube.  (Under the Channel’s playlist of 2017 predictions.)

Moving forward with 2017, your free monthly horoscopes will remain in place and you can look for an extended version in January.  NO rate increase in 2017, and new services will be offered.  There is also a directline and a live calendar, where you can reach me most anytime.  As always, for this time of year, the Holiday Specials are on my homepage under the Christmas Tree.  (12-month email report has around a 2-day wait on them.)

I am seeking those that would like to give me permanent feedback that would include your first name and the state you are in.  This will replace the achieved feedback of many years on the site. (It is slowing the website down.)  I am pleased to say that most of the changes are now in place.

Feel free to join me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.

This is just my time to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 

Until next time…

November 2016 "Rants & Raves"

I have had so much going on this month, that I feel like I have missed the entire month of November!

November 22^nd, the first day of Sagittarius, Jaselyn turned three!  She is so cute and super sweet.  (Prejudiced I know!)  She had a cute little princess party for her birthday.  This was quickly followed by Thanksgiving.  We had some friends join us this year and really had a great time!

The month ended for me with the final step on my business.  (This has taken months!)  The end result has left me as being the only licensed psychic in my County.  Although I have always had my business license since 2006, it was classified differently as a home business even though the classification stated psychic and tarot card reader.  The first of the year, I had to change the company name, and this created changes with the business as well.

All across the country we have this “Fortune Teller Ordinance”.  The one in my County was adopted in 1940, and I am the first to go through with the entire process.  Although it took a lot of money, meetings and a lot of steps to follow, it is a “Do able” process. I am discouraged to find that many have inquired about it but chosen not to go through with it. I can say that every County Official I met with was more then willing to help me through this.  (I also wondered if this was adopted in my Great Grandmother’s era, as 1940 would have been when she worked as a psychic out of Richmond.)

In case your wondering….I DO support the ordinance.  The industry is 80% shady, unfortunate but true, and I remain and advocate against Psychic Scams.

The change in my business was due to Identity Theft, and this I would wish upon no one!  This has been a year of in and out of attorney’s offices and courtrooms, and it’s not over yet. It appears that some of this may be wrapped up in December while some will carry forward into the New Year.

This also prompted change in the business due to a “Chronic complainer” in the County. (It does make you wonder why an individual feels they know more about me or my business then the County does.)  Is this the same person responsible for my Identity Theft?  There have been numerous investigations at many levels so I am sure it will all come out eventually.

The end result, all of my websites are changing back to NORMAL!  Thank you all for your patience on this and to my surprise many of you had not even noticed until I pointed it out to you.

Overall, this has not been a “Bad” year, but rather a year of cleaning up messes created by someone else, and a really good learning experience.   On the financial end of things, it has hit hard, in addition I have to get ready to repay a lot of these fees in the month of January.  A GoFundMe has been set up in an effort to help me keep things under control.

Also new to the website, I have only had a few of you request or inquire, but I am now set up to process American Express and Discover!  Don’t forget, the best times to reach me are between 1pm to 1am EST.

Your December horoscopes are up!  And for those of you that did not know you get your “Freebie” from me every week, in the form of YouTube videos. 

Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now getting ready for Christmas!

Until Next Time…

October 2016 "Rants & Raves"

It has been yet another busy month of working on projects and getting things done.  I did take a little time to have some fun with my daughter and granddaughter this month.  We spent a couple of days in Williamsburg, Virginia and had a blast.  Although it is fall, I am grateful that we had perfect weather to take Jaselyn out on the Jamestown Ferry and let her see the James River.

This was our last official “Outing” as we settle into the month of November for Jaselyn’s birthday party and Thanksgiving.

I know many of you are sticking with me with the issues on my website.  I am pleased to announce that all changes will now be made no later then the month of December!!!!  This has been a long wait, with a delay that I will be able to explain in the next upcoming weeks.  Thank you so much for your patience and if you are having problems or find that something is not working correctly please contact me at once. Jackie@ms-swami.com

I have heard from many of you that have stated that the navigation has changed and there is some confusion on what line to call.  The cheapest line to call is the 804number.  I know this has confused many, but trust me when I say “There is always a reason for my madness” and I will discuss this at a later date!

Please remember the best times to reach me are between the hours of 1pm to 1am Eastern.  Appointments are not necessary.

I will be sending out my fall newsletter in the next couple of weeks.  If you wish to join the mailing list you may subscribe.

Thank you to those that have given me your feedback on my book “Twist of Events”, I have actually decided to make a couple of changes to it that I will work on this winter.

In regards to the paranormal, CVAPI has had a lot of fun on investigations the last few weeks with Alex Mac and Fletcher from XL-102, Jackson from Q94, and Kat Simmons from Mix 98.1

Don’t forget that your free monthly horoscopes for November will publish later tomorrow evening!

HAVE A HAPPY & SAFE HALLOWEEN!

Until next time…

July 2016 "Rants & Raves"

I hope you are all enjoying the summer months.  I know many of you are struggling with the heat.  Just remember there will be snow on the ground in a matter of a few short weeks!  I will take the heat over the snow anytime!

Between the rain at the beginning of the season and the heat index, Jaselyn’s garden has struggled this year, but appears to finally be on track.  I also took the time this month to reconnect with some family members that I have not seen in years.  We have had a couple of wonderful visits.

My apologies to the locals as I did not have time to schedule a meeting for Central Virginia Psychic Development & ParanormalResearch as I had planned.  In all honesty, I am unsure if will be able to set this up in the month of August, but I will do what I can.  I had a few days that I was not feeling well, however I am all caught up now.

For those of you that are interested, my next newsletter will go out soon.  If you would like one delivered to your email, please take the time to Subscribe.

Twist of Events, is currently on sale on Kindle.  This is a thriller (not horror), that involves the paranormal.  I am enjoying the feedback from those of you that read it.  It does indeed help me with the sequel that is well underway.

Also, I am getting a lot of compliments on my Sagittarius shirt that my daughter made for me.  So I have put a link to her business on my website.

With all of the political buzz going around, I have many of you asking who is the next Presidential elect.  I’m going to refer you back to my blog post for 2016 Predictions that posted in December of 2015.

I want to take the time to remind you all to enjoy your summer.  Fall will be here before you know it!

If you are trying to reach me the best hours remain between 1pm and 1am Eastern Time.  There is also a live calendar on my website that will show you if I am available.  It is updated often.  An appointment is not necessary, but is preferred.

Don’t forget, your free monthly horoscopes will post on Monday August 1^st.

Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Until next time…

June 2016 "Rants & Raves"

Hello summer!  Can you believe that we have passed the midway mark of the year?  Summer is my favorite season of the year and would love to see this time of year slow down just a little bit so I can enjoy it.  (This whole year is flying by.)  I have really enjoyed Jaselyn in the pool, with her garden and all of her outdoor toys.

The month of June has bought in my celebration of my 10 year anniversary on my website.  It actually launched 10-years ago yesterday as a 3-page website.  It has been wonderful to hear from so many of my clients that I have had for 10 years and some even longer!  I’m also very touched at how many of you that are on my social media that referenced watching my daughter grow up over the years.  (I think 10 years ago MySpace was the big thing.)  She gave me a Bonsai tree, which is something I have wanted; now I need to keep it alive!

I know you all have been wonderful in working with me on the changes to my website.  There will be more changes that will not be completed until later this fall.  Thank you for your patience!

I need to apologize to my local group Central VA PsychicDevelopment & Paranormal Research, as once again, I have run out of month!  I will see what I can schedule in the month of July.

I do have exciting news for the month of June.  My daughter is engaged!  And yes, he has my seal of approval and I am very happy for them! Her ring is GORGEOUS! The house comes first and the wedding will be next summer.  He also has a little girl the same age of Jaselyn and I fully believe they will all make a nice family!

Do not forget that your July horoscopes will post on my website on the 1^st.  The month of July has 5 full weekends in it, so enjoy!

The best time to reach me is between 1pm and 1am.  Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY 4^TH OF JULY WEEKEND!

Until next time…

May 2016 "Rants & Raves"

I hope you are enjoying a long weekend for Memorial Day!  Let this also be a reminder that it is more then just about family cookouts!

It does appear that our weather is going to take us straight into summer.  (The first day of summer is Monday June 20^th.)  I have managed to take a couple of afternoons off to work in the yard, and get Jaselyn’s play area set up for her.

I really want to thank everyone for your patience as my websites are still undergoing construction.  In the event you cannot reach me please feel free to email me directly at

Jackie@ms-swami.com.

I will also get a link up to my daughter’s business “Designing Diva”, (She really has something for everyone and for anything you can imagine.)  She is also offering a discount to existing paranormal teams.

I am expanding my monthly subscription on the weekly reports and currently will take 2 to 3 more for this.  They are no longer available via text, but are delivering to your email every Sunday.  (They tend to be a bit long for text messaging.)

I am also in process of updating my email list.  Please be sure to keep your email up to date with me.  There is also a subscription, on the website that is now available for horoscopes, blogs, newsletters, etc.

In the past, I have mentioned posting more to my blog about Reiki, (and eventually I will.)  I have added a video on the Reiki Course for those seeking general knowledge or are interested in learning it.

This has been another month that has blown by quickly.  It is hard to believe that we are getting ready to hit the half way mark for 2016!

For the locals, I did run out of time in scheduling something for Central VA Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, however I am in process of setting up something for the month of June.

If you are trying to reach me, I remind you to check my live calendar for my availability.  Although, it is new to me also, I am trying to update it throughout the day.

Don't forget your horoscopes for the month of June will post soon!

I am celebrating TEN YEARS on my website this summer, and I thank each and every one of you for that!

HAVE A HAPPY & SAFE MEMORIAL DAY!

Until next time…

April 2016 "Rants & Raves"

The last day of April…this year is flying by!  Today is the beginning of Mercury Retrograde, running through May 25^th.  As you know, this is the moon phases where you can expect the unexpected.  This one appears to be strong in the financial sector, with a lot of scattered energy in the personal sector.  This is also a time frame of renewals of past acquaintances. 

My websites are still under a major overhaul.  Do not be surprised if you come across some links that are not working or you find them “Under Construction.”  (And I finally have new photos for it, YAY!)  Every month, I hear stories of those that have either fallen victim to scams, or been approached by them.  This has inspired me to post several of those “Common Scams” here.

It has been a productive month for me in working on my “To Do List”.  I did take the time last weekend for a Meetup at the Dooley Mansion at Maymont Park, and thank you to those that attended.  Tomorrow (Sunday May 1^st) there is a picnic at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.  This is not sponsored or hosted by me, but by Hollywood Cemetery.  This is an annual event for them with food trucks, so if you’re local please join them.

I have dedicated a lot of my time this month to taking care of some odds and ends.  I am hoping this will allow me to settle in for some writing this summer!  (Including getting Jaselyn’s garden started.) 

For those that are trying to reach me, please remember that you can email me anytime at Jackie@ms-swami.com.  My availability for calls is posted on my calendar an updated throughout the day.

I do want to give a big shout out to my daughter, and a congratulations on her new business!  I am VERY proud of her!  She is specializing in personalizing various items for home décor as well as t-shirts, hoodies, etc.  If you are looking for customized tees this is perfect for small businesses and individuals because there is no minimum order.  You can check out some of the things that she offers here.

The first day of summer will be here before you know it.  So remember to take the time to embrace and just enjoy spring!

Your horoscopes for the month of May, will publish later this evening, so stop by and enjoy!

Until next time…

February 2016 "Rants & Raves"

Amazing how I have been meaning to write my blog for the last few days and just finding time to get to it.  Although we gained an extra day this year in February, it does appear that the month has flown by!

I hope you all had a great Valentine’s day and are now getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day.

I apologize to those that subscribe to my blog and the monthly horoscopes.  I generally email these out, however I simply ran out of time.

For those that have purchased my book, THANK YOU!  I am REALLY enjoying hearing your feedback.  (That certainly does help me with the sequel!) 

Also a big THANK YOU, in working with me on the transitions to my website this month.  This is the first month that I have weeded out the 800# for psychic readings.  This process is going well!  Please remember that paypal will remain an option for you and is backed by MasterCard.

For those that are using the Call Now option, there is a live calendar on that page.  It updates several times a day.  If you need a specific time, please let me know.  It will also give you an idea of when I am available and when I am not.

We are officially on the countdown until spring!  However, if you are in the Virginia area, do not be surprised to see snow on and off throughout the month.  Hang in there it is almost over!

This coming Saturday March 5^th, we have a meeting for new members of like minded people for Central Virginia Psychic Development& Paranormal Research in Chester, VA at 2pm.  If you are available please feel free to join us as it is open to the public.

I did want to mention that I am hearing a lot about psychic scams circulating from my clients.  Please do not fall victim to spells, curse removals, aura cleansings etc.  Feel free to email me any time if you care to discuss this further at Jackie@ms-swami.com

In March you can expect a solar eclipse on March 8^th, the Super Moon will follow this.  Though we have some upcoming Super Moons, this one will be the strongest.  The best word to describe it would be “Intense”.

Don’t forget, your free monthly horoscopes will publish tonight on my website.

Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

Until next time…

November 2015 "Rants & Raves"

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  This is also a reminder to be “Thankful” for something each and every day, even when you are going through tough times.  (Tough times are generally brief and passing, so always look for the positive.)

This month has flown by way too quick for me.  As most of you know, I was out of state for a whole week this month.  (I think I am now caught up.)  I thank you for your patience!  I did have a bit of a wifi problem from time to time.

I spent an entire week in Elkins, WV for a criminal trial for the prosecution.  (I am also told that I was very lucky it was not snowing there this time of year!)  The scenery was breath taking!  However, I am not used to driving in the mountains so the trip to and from Elkins, I found to be a bit stressful.  The actual town and people of Elkins were very inviting.

 

I want to go a little further with this by saying, if you are a criminal or involved in criminal activity, I am NOT the psychic to contact!  In 9 years of doing this full time, this was my 4^th criminal.  Also the first one I did not turn in myself, and the first one I had to go to court on.  How did they find me?  They confiscated this person’s computer.  When that happens, if you have visited my website, made a transaction, or emailed me, investigators WILL find it.  (This could either clear you on an investigation or convict you.) 95% of my clients, I have never met face to face.  This is NOT the way for us to meet!

A note to psychic’s, the majority of us carry a disclaimer on our website that states “For Entertainment Purposes Only”, including myself.  Why do we do this?  Because there is no guarantee on accuracy.  This DOES NOT apply during criminal investigations, particularly because that person is contacting you on actual life events.

I did get home the night before Jaselyn’s second birthday party!  She had a special visitor of “Minnie Mouse” come to her party.  This was followed by an early Thanksgiving with one side of the family the following day.

This moved us up to the current week of cooking for our own Thanksgiving dinner.  So as you can see, I have been busy since I have been back.  Some how or another I have still managed to catch up on everything.  (Although I wonder how!)

I am getting REALLY good feedback on the weekly videos on YouTube.  I will continue to post a link to these here on the blog, as well as a link on my horoscope page.  What I have not posted is on the YouTubechannel, you will now find individual videos for some of the zodiac signs for the week.  If you would like to see your sign added to that weekly mix just send me an email to Jackie@ms-swami.com  I will continue these throughout the month of December.  Depending on the feedback, shares, views etc, I will then make the decision if this is something I will move forward with next year.

I have not sent out a newsletter this year.  I do have a newsletter going out the first week of December.  You may “Subscribe”here, as it will have specials for the entire month of December. 

News on my book, it’s going incredibly well and the first edit is almost complete!  The book cover is now underway. (Again, I had a weeks set back on this.)  I had really hoped to have this out in the month of December, however, due to an unexpected trip and a couple of other factors, I have had to push the launch date out a bit.  STAY TUNED!  As I am approaching the final steps!

I also believe that you will have the opportunity for pre-orders on this.  (I will begin the sequel this winter.)  I will also post more information on the blog, about the book in the month of December.

Speaking of winter, I hope everyone is prepared!  (And no I am not!)  Due to El Nino, it does appear that this is going to be a white winter for most of us.  Including some of you that normally don’t see snow!

Don’t forget that your horoscopes will post on Tuesday this week.  Also I am back to a normal schedule for psychic readings.  The best time to reach me remains between the hours of 1pm to 1am.  And your videos for this coming week ofNovember 30th are now up!

For special discounts follow me on Twitter, and as always join me on Facebook.  (I have just recently joined Periscope under PsychicJackieT, and this is connected to my Twitter account.)

May you all remain stress free and positive as we move forward with Christmas!

Until next time….

October 2015 "Rants & Raves"

Hello October!  I have spoken with many of you that are reporting electronic problems and have an overall feeling of the energy just being “Odd”.  We did end Mercury Retrograde this month.  However, we did not come out of the shadow of Mercury until this past Saturday on October 24^th.  What does this mean?  It means the odd energy that you have felt should begin to fade away and balance should be restored.

Happy Halloween to those of you I have not spoke with.  Halloween is this Saturday!  I am excited to go trick or treating with Jaselyn this year and am hoping for good weather.

Also it is time to “Fall Back”.  This Sunday, November 1^st we gain an hour so don’t forget to move your clocks back!

With encouragement from a friend, I have started a weekly forecast video for the month of October.  You may find the link to these videos on the YouTube icon on my homepage, or a link on my horoscopes page.  I am also linking those videos right here on the blog each week.  These are just broad generalized readings on what you can expect in the week ahead.  I will change things up from time to time.  (This coming week will include blasts for Gemini and Sagittarius.)  I am getting some good feedback on these; so let me hear from you so I will know that you are watching!

I have also spent a lot of time on my email list in cleaning it up.  Don’t forget that I now offer you a free Subscription for the horoscopes.  I will be sending out a newsletter in the month of November.  I had stopped these for a while and I see that many of you miss them.  Make sure I have your email address to get on that list!

My schedule has been a little crazy this month taking care of several things at once.  I had planned on a couple of local events in the month of November.  However it does look like I will have to postpone these for now.  (I also had to postpone an event in the month of October.)

In other news, I know I have mentioned a book I was working on in more then one occasion.  I am happy to report that it is finished!  It is currently with the editor as we speak as I move on to the cover!  I am so excited about this!  To those of you who have never wrote a book, I have to say it leaves you with an incredible feeling when it’s done! And to those of you who are thinking about writing a book, JUST DO IT!

I will have more information for you in the next two weeks ahead on this.  (So check back here, or email me directly at Jackie@ms-swami.com)   It is a paranormal thriller, (not a horror) that I am pleased with.  Upcoming I will have the date it will be released as well as the information for pre-orders. 

I am in the process of making some changes to my website.  You may have noticed a couple of pages are under construction.  This should be taken care of in the next few weeks.  Meanwhile, if you find something is not working properly PLEASE let me know.  This is generally the only way I know is when someone tells me!

In regards to CVAPI, I have spoke with many of you.  If you are local and you feel this is something you want to help out on, please email me directly. 

The best time to contact me for psychic readings remains between 1pm to 1am EST.  Also, don’t forget your horoscopes for November will soon post for the month!  Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.

Until next time…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

September 2015 "Rants & Raves"

HELLO FALL!  Although I am not fond of cold weather, I am enjoying a break from the heat.  Time for pumpkin spice everything!

It has been a busy month.  I am thrilled that we were able to take Jaselyn to the beach right before the weather changed.  To our surprise she associated the ocean with Spongebob!  We do have another weekend getaway coming up in the month of October that we are also excited about before cold weather hits.

Beginning this week, (tomorrow actually), I will be setting up my YouTube Channel for a weekly video  blast of what to expect for the week ahead.  (Encouraged by a friend.)  These will be short videos.  I plan to post them on Sundays and will embed them into my blog.  Now, I will NOT be sending out an email blast on these, so if your interested in seeing them, please subscribe to the YouTube channel and it will send you an email when a new video is posted.  (Who knows, you may get a shout out.)

We are currently under Mercury Retrograde until October 9^th.  Although the energy is a little odd on this one, it is also the last one of the year.  This one is triggering a lot of things to surface from the past, from people, places, to objects.  Also on Monday September 28^th, it is a combination of the Super Moon, Blood Moon.  This can hit some rather hard in the emotional sector.

Another month has flown by quickly!  Your October horoscopes will post this Thursday on the first.  I have had many of you Subscribe to them, and will keep that subscription option open.

Details, details, details!  This is what makes for a totally awesome psychic reading.  I go out of my way to provide as many details for you that I can.  Now, I need the same from you.  Often I will ask a new client, “How did you find me?”  More than often I am told….the internet.  I need to know where on the internet.  I mention this because as we enter the last quarter of the year, I begin looking at my current advertising campaign as to what I need to change for 2016.  So let me know how you found me. Social network, directory, ad, radio?  This is what I need to know.

Also, I love, love, love hearing your feedback!  While at Virginia Beach I ran into a client that I had read for many years ago.  I love hearing how the reading went and what came to pass.  Don’t EVER hesitate to email me and let me know.  With that said, I don’t always have time to email every single person back, but in case you are wondering, I do read every single one!

Now, to answer some Q&A’s:

Will you ever live stream a paranormal investigation?

I do have the ability to do so, but the answer is, it is highly doubtful.  I say this because you, the viewer, would be bored to tears.  What video clips and audio files we do capture on an investigation, generally has taken us hours to get.

How do I set an appointment with you for a psychic reading?

Visit my website here, or email me directly.  My website will list many options available.

How can I get a reading with you in person?

I do have some options available for this.  If you can get a group of your friends together, then we can look at meeting somewhere or doing a psychic party.  The key here, is that I need as much notice as possible on a date!  Also keep your eyes on my blog or website for any upcoming events.  ****I will be in the WILLIAMSBURG area in October.****

Do you ever work any psychic fairs?

Generally speaking….NO.  I don’t like the energy of them. 

With all that you do, how in the world do you manage your schedule?

CAREFULLY! Lol

The best times to schedule a psychic reading are between 1pm and 1am EST.

I have many of you asking about the next Tarot Card Workshop…..and YES it is getting to be that time of the year.  I am working on putting a Saturday together in the month of November in Chester, Virginia.  I will keep you posted!

Join me on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter.

Until next time….

June 2015 "Rants & Raves"

HELLO SUMMER!  The first official day of summer was June 21^st.  Although I can say that here, we saw many hot days prior to that! 

This is another month that has flown by quick enough that I almost forgot my blog!  For most of you, June has proven to be a mess.  Mercury Retrograde hit in full force followed by an odd alignment of a couple of the planets.  Well once we clear today, you should see some “normalcy” return.

I have spoke with a lot of you that are heading on vacation.  As we come into the 4^th of July weekend, I wish you all safe and happy travels.  We have had some family in visiting from Florida this month.  The summer months are all about vacation!  We are also excited to have some friends come in from New Jersey in the month of July.

My schedule will remain the same for the month of July.  The best time to catch me for a psychicreading remains between 1pm and 1am.  My plan for July is psychic readings, catching up on some accounting, as well as working on some finishing touches on my book.

I can say that I have no complaints about the heat as this is my favorite season of the year.  Jaselyn and I started a small garden back in April and it is thriving!  She enjoys that every single day.  We also had to replace our pool liner this year.  The problem with me appears finding the time to get in it! 

I have many of you inquiring about my next local event.  Because I stay busy, it has been hard for me to schedule anything.  (I am also factoring in that some of you are leaving for vacation.)  So meanwhile, if you can get a group together, then I would suggest you looking into a “Psychic Party.”

I am grateful to say that I have seen an increase in new clients over the last few months.  Though I stay on top of my emails, please remember that sometimes it will take 24 hours or more for me to respond. 

All the kinks with the new phone system appear to be fixed.  There is a new toll free number on the site that no longer has an extension.  I thank you all for working with me during that transition to the new system.

I have not scheduled anything for Central Virginia PsychicDevelopment & Paranormal Research due to the heat.  I also have many inquiries about those that are interested in a paranormal investigation.  I hope to have an open investigation for the pubic one evening in July.

I am kicking off the month of July (tomorrow) with some dental work.  I will NOT be available tomorrow evening, and I plan to carry a light schedule on Thursday.  Everything should be back to normal by Friday.

Some of you have a long weekend this week so ENJOY!  I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.

Your horoscopes will post at midnight tonight.  Join me on Facebook and specials go out all the time on Twitter.

Until next time…

May 2015 "Rants & Raves"

Hello Mercury Retrograde!  Yes, it appears to be in full affect and will run until June 11^th.  Depending on your zodiac sign, this one is hitting some emotionally, in their love life, and some financially.  It is the time of the “Unexpected” where you can expect anything from “Good to bad” in those areas.

For whatever reason, from time to time, I am seeing a delay when someone messages me on Facebook.  In the event that I don’t respond, this is probably why.  Your best bet is to email me directly through one of my websites.

I have a LOT of inquiries regarding my next local event.  Generally I would have this set up by now.  However, I have had a lot going on this month as well as keeping up with my readings and emails.  I do hope to have something set up towards the end of June.

In a previous blog, I had mentioned that if you were local I could generally make arrangements to meet somewhere.  A LOT of this depends on your location and if I have appointments.  So please consider that I need as many days in advance as possible.

After a rough winter I SWORE that I would not complain about the hot weather.  However, that appeared to change when my air conditioning went out!  (I might add, right when the humidity hit, of course.)  You probably have no idea just how much I hate dealing with contractors on anything.  However, my faith was restored in finding an honest one!  (Yes, there are still a few honest people out there, you just have to find them!)  So now that AC season is in full force here in Virginia, and if your local, give David Hall from Hall’s Heating and Air Inc. a call at (804) 218-2403.  (Tell him Jackie sent you.)  Not only was he honest, he explained everything thoroughly, did a great job, and followed up himself.

With that said, a few weeks in the heat, and I am running behind on several things.  (Writing and scheduling events for starters.)  I hope to get that under control this week.

Next, I have switched up things on the Weekly Forecast, though I have not had it changed on the website.  Because these are personalized forecasts, some weeks may be a little longer then other.  Therefore, I prefer the delivery method via email.  (These go out every Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening.)  Due to the amount of subscriptions there is LIMITED AVAILABILITY for me to take on any more.  So if this is something that you are considering, it is something you need to take action on.

In regards to the Reiki Course, I still have some copies available and I have had many ask.  YES, I am retiring this but not anytime soon.  If it is something that you are interested in email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com. 

CVAPI is continuing to get requests for paranormal investigations.  This week I will start setting up the schedule.  In regards to Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, I am also seeking to setup something here as well.  This is probably going to be on an evening so we don’t melt in the heat.

Jaselyn is growing like a weed and LOVES being outside.  She has a little garden out back that she enjoys working in and loves anything to do with water.

For those that have seen me through the technical problems of my phone line for the last 2 months, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!  This has prompted an entire system upgrade, so if you have me stored in your phone, there is a new number….

1-800-679-6021  No extension number and the same price.  (This system will now notify you when you are coming up on the end of the call.)  In the event you call and do not get an answer, please wait a few minutes and call back.  Chances are I am indeed on another call with someone that has a prior appointment.  Though rare, it does happen from time to time.  The best time for psychic readings is between 1pm to 1am.

Your horoscopes will publish tomorrow and don’t forget that the first official day of summer is June 21^st.   I know a lot of you are planning vacations so be safe and have fun!

Until next time…

March & April 2015 "Rants & Raves"

I had to check, because I have never missed a month of posting, however, I ran out of time in the month of March.  (And no I didn’t forget, I just didn’t have time to get to it.)

The last few weeks I have been juggling appointments, Jaselyn, my book and the dreaded deed of yard work.

I am super excited to see spring here!  (Excluding the pollen of course.)  However, the yard work that comes with it is always challenging in the clean up after the winter.  I am happy to report that this task is almost complete!

The book I am working on is coming to an end.  (Kind of sad about that as odd as that may sound.)  I had hoped to have it to the editor by now, but due to my schedule I have pushed that back a bit.  And of course I have a few rewrites where I want to change some things up.  However, I will keep you posted on this.  I can say I have enjoyed every single minute of it and kind of sad that it’s coming to an end.  There again, I am excited because there is a second one that will follow.

Miss Jaselyn is a delight!  She is spitting out new words each week.  I am amazed on how smart she is and how quickly she picks up things.  She is a joy to have around!  Currently we are working on a small garden for her to plant things in.  (She loves digging in the dirt.)  I have purchased my own car seat and looking forward to park dates and story time at the library.

Though I struggle with my sinuses and allergies, I am enjoying watching everything come into bloom.  My azaleas bloomed this week.  My aunt planted them years ago and they now stand between 8 and 10 foot tall!  Simply gorgeous!

Spring brings crazy weather around here.  From hot to cool.  I am still trying to plan an outing to Hollywood Cemetery so if you are interested join me at Central Virginia Psychic Development &Paranormal Research.

CVAPI is getting a lot of calls, but due to my schedule I don’t have any investigations logged as of now.  (And since I actually typed that I am sure I will!)

So far, everything for me has been rolling along pretty smoothly.  Sometimes you just have to embrace that you are just “In a good spot.”  I am happy to report, that is where I am!

My daughter has been doing wonderful with Origami Owl and loving it.  They now offer “Inscriptions”  (below), so my personalized one came in and I LOVE IT.  She is beginning to work local area vendor events, so if you know of one coming up, please let me know and I will pass it along to her.

Due to being a “Ghost hunter” I have often asked if I am scared of anything.  Well the truth is YES.  (Not of ghosts, even though if you ever see one it will leave you speechless and cost you a few nights sleep.)  My fear….Lizards and frogs!  (Or any reptile!)  Currently my patio appears to be full of those blue tail lizards.  Although they are harmless (And probably just as scared of me.)  They scare me to death!   They may as well be the size of a dragon!  My cat Roxy recently killed one, earning her the name of “Roxy the dragon slayer”, currently she is my hero!  (That is huge because we don’t always get along!)

I want to remind everyone that Mother’s Day is May 10^th.  Take care of your Mom’s and if you are a Mother yourself I hope you have a special day and will do something to celebrate your AWESOMENESS!

Currently, I don't have anything local lined up.  However, email me, and I can make arrangements to meet you somewhere.

Until next time…

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 11^th.  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 31^st, 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 21^st.  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 31^st, 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…

Dates for 2015 Mercury Retrograde

2015 Mercury Retrograde

January 21st - February 11th

May 18th - June 11th

September 17th - October 9th

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 22^nd, 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!
