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.
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 22nd, 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.
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…

September 2016 "Rants & Raves"
September is an amazing month of closing out summer and the
beginning of fall. I think it is funny
how we go from the beach and the pool to pumpkin spice everything! In addition to taking a few days off this
month, it was also my daughter’s birthday.
Although I am looking forward to the leaves change, it does sadden me to
close the pool as it is the official sign of cold weather to come.
As we enter fall, it is that time of year when we get geared
up on our paranormal investigations. We
did complete one in August (the website will be updated soon), and returned to
that location this month.
On this investigation we returned with XL-102’s Alex Mac and
a special guest of Kat Simmons from Mix 98.1.
We are currently helping XL-102 put together a video for their website,
and will have them join us on another investigation as well.
I am often presented with the question of do I think
paranormal activity increases this time of year. Honestly, I don’t. I
believe that people are more inside this time of year and maybe start noticing
things that they had not before. The
same as I don’t find it to be true that activity only occurs at night, when in
fact much occurs during the day. The
only reason we investigate at night is due to the sensitivity of the night
vision cameras will tend to pick up more.
This has been an extremely busy month for me. In addition to the beach, we had friends
visit from New Jersey, some local friends visit and an investigation. I’m not sure how, but I have also kept my
normal working schedule as well.
The best times to reach me are between the hours of 1pm and
1am, and weekends it will vary.
However, there is a live calendar on my website that will let you know
if I am available.
Upcoming I will be in Williamsburg, Virginia October 16th
& 17th. I have 30 minute
and one hour sessions open, so email me for details.
For those that I have talked to or you have messaged me
about Reiki, now is a good time to get started! If you know me well, you know it remains a big part of my life
and I enjoy it tremendously.
We have officially cleared Mercury Retrograde and for some
of you it packed a powerful punch. The
next Retro is December 20th to January 9th.
Unfortunately, in speaking to some of you, it does appear
that I will soon be updating my list of “Common Scams”, please take the time to
read this so you do NOT become a victim!
Don’t forget, your horoscopes for October will post
tomorrow! Join me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
Until next time…

August 2016 "Rants & Raves"
It is hard to believe that we are approaching the final days
of summer. (My favorite season!) Before you know it, there will be pumpkin
spice everything, which isn’t a bad thing!
I noticed over the weekend how much Jaselyn has grown over
the summer. I based this on her talking
as well as her interaction in the pool time is going by quick!
Thank you to those that are sticking with me as my website
undergoes some changes. If all goes
well, it should all fall into place in the month of November.
My summer newsletter went out today (a little later then I
thought), and if you would like a copy, you may Subscribe here.
We will begin to enter Mercury Retrograde tomorrow
night. This will run from August 31st
through September 23rd. This
one is packing a high-energy that may provoke a lot of restless in energy in
most.
The 800# is back in place, however there is a rate increase
on that line only. Your best option is
to contact me using the phone number provided below it. As always, the best time to reach me is
between 1pm to 1am, as this allows me to cover the varying time zones.
I am planning to take a couple of days off near Labor Day
for some family fun! I will check my
messages often.
I have spoke with a lot of you that have returned to college
as well as some of you that are getting your children ready to go back to
school. I know the stay at home moms
are happy!
Central Virginia Paranormal Investigations has completed a
residential investigation. I hope to
have that info up on the website later in the month of September.
We are approaching the end of the month, so don’t forget
that your free monthly horoscopes will go up on Thursday.
I hope you all have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!
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 1st.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

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 1st. The
month of July has 5 full weekends in it, so enjoy!
HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY 4TH 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 20th.) 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
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 25th. 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 1st) 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…

March 2016 "Rants & Raves"
Hello spring! It
won’t be long now before we start complaining about the heat. This is one of my favorite times in the year
where everything comes into bloom. I
now have everything we need for Jaselyn’s garden and will need to make some
time on a pretty day, to get it underway.
This was one of her favorite projects last year.
March has been a busy month for me. I have many new
endeavors going on behind the scenes and they are still underway. I thank you all for your patience in some of
the changes on my websites. I am
listening to you and I now realize that some of the things are confusing to
you. This will be addressed in the
month of April.
In the month of April, all of my websites are going to
undergo a major overhaul. (For the
better!) With this there is a slight
possibility that the website may go down completely as it is under
construction. In the event that this
does happen, you may still reach my by email at Jackie@ms-swami.com.
For those of you trying to reach me or looking for an
appointment. Please note that there is
a live calendar of my availability that is updated several times a day.
I am still hearing from those that have fallen victim to
common scams or are questioning what someone has presented to them. I will designate an area on my website
specifically for this topic.
I am also going to clarify Reiki for you on the website as
well. (I am constantly getting
questions on this.) I am finding that a
lot of massage places are now offering Reiki, and I think it is wonderful. However, Reiki has NOTHING to do with
massage! Reiki does NOT have to be
hands on. If it is hands on, it is the
placement of the hands on your chakras (energy fields), not massage. Part of becoming a Reiki Master is to know
how to do this with no hands, or hands off, and learning to do this distantly.
I believe the confusion is that over the years it has also
been known as the “Healing Touch.” When
in fact, it does not require hands on.
The “Healing” part is because it is sent into the body for the greater
good, healing what is amiss. In short,
it is an “Energy Healing” and nothing more.
Anyway, more on this subject later.
Another subject that I am often asked about is my belief on
the “Laws of attraction.” And yes, I do
believe in it! (“Where thoughts go,
energy flows!”) I am a firm believer
that when you keep your thoughts positive, you draw positive things to you and
vice versa. (Meaning if you are
negative you can draw that to you as well.)
I know some of you are into making “Manifestation boards” and I support
those too! (These are actual visual
boards of the things that you would like to come into your life.) I believe it is NEVER a bad time to focus on
your dreams or your goals!
This year I am resuming my monthly meetings with Central VAPsychic Development & Paranormal Research.
Our first meeting was this month.
It was great to see some new faces!
It is a great opportunity to get together with some like-minded people
on varying topics. Our next get
together is a day at the park on Sunday April 24th at Maymont Park
for a tour of the Dooley Mansion. I am
hoping the weather will be wonderful enough for us to enjoy the gardens and
petting zoo after the tour. The month
of May there will be a meeting on paranormal equipment. So if you are local, please feel free to
join us!
For those of you that have read or currently reading mybook, I thank you! You have no idea how
much I have enjoyed your input! This
helps me tremendously with the sequel.
I love, love, love hearing your feedback on the characters!
Don’t forget that your free monthly horoscopes will post on
Friday of this week. Upcoming in April,
I will have some random YouTube clips go up.
Please join me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter. (For those of you using Twitter….get
the PERISCOPE the app! You will see A LOT of me there in the month
of April.)
Until next time…
