November 2013 "Rants & Raves"
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! It is amazing how things can change in the small course of 12 months. Last year for Thanksgiving, I found myself having a complete meltdown when realizing it would be my last Thanksgiving with my mother. This year I find myself celebrating with my new Granddaughter!
Meet "Jaselyn Cassidy" born Friday November 22nd at 1:30PM, 6 lbs 2 oz and 19.5 inches long. Both her and her mother came home this past Monday and both are doing well. She made it on the first day of Sagittarius, and is a blonde. (My Mother's side of the family.) Skin tone? We will have to wait and see. My Mother's side are all dark complected from a long blood line of Cherokee and Italians. My daughter however is fair complected and a dirty blonde. (Though her color changes constantly due to cosmetology.)
Overall she is a really good baby and I could not be happier for both of them!
Prior to Jaselyn's birth, November has been a really busy month for me. I was delighted to have the Virginia Historical Society contact me to participate in their new documentary "Virginia Voices". This is currently still in the works and will be released later in 2014. My daughter and I are currently working on another filming project that we will be able to release more at a later date.
Vlogs? Video Blogs.... I have been approached by a few as to if this is something I will do. To be honest, I am considering it. Possibly the first of the year? I do have a new computer system with a webcam so it is possible. By the way, I am new to Windows 8, so if you have any tips or advice to lend, I am certainly open to it as I am a little dumbfounded by this operating system.
November for me has been a month of "Reconnecting". By that I mean that I have seen family and friends that I have not seen in years! It has been wonderful!
My new ad campaign launched in the month of November (a little delayed) and is doing well. (Groupon user's look for me there!) Due to the filming projects and my daughter's pregnancy, my availability has been a little "off" to say the least. Currently I am back on track and available tonight and through the weekend. The best time for psychic readings remains 1PM to 1AM Eastern. For random holiday specials, be sure to follow me on Twitter. I will be running a normal schedule for the month of December for the exception of a quick day trip to North Carolina that I am most excited about!
Upcoming in December I hope to work in a "Meet & Greet" for Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research. Hopefully I will be able to due this without short notice. This will be for like-minded people to come together and share what we would like to do in 2014. I have many inquiries to the Part II, of the Tarot Card Workshop, and as of now, that will take place in late January.
At some point in December I plan to start revamping our website for CVAPI. (Central Virginia Paranormal Investigations). I am currently seeking a volunteer that is fluent with YouTube in helping me get some of our older case files online. If you are interested, please email me at Jackie@cvapi.com.
A lot of my month of December is preparing my final accounting for the year, so I will be spending a lot of time in my office.
Be sure to join me on Facebook as I post there often! I am going to wrap this up with the number #12, handed down from my daughter from a facebook game, of 12 random facts that you may not know about me:
1. I was a vegetarian for 7 years.
2. I married in my senior year of high school. (Married at 18, my daughter at 19, divorced at 20, and built our home at 21).
3. "Sasha" is my third husky and 13 1/2 years old. I also have a soft spot for cats. (We have two, one
inside and one outside.)
4. I rarely drink alcohol and when I do, the "Psychic senses" are more than wide open!
5. I keep my social circle small because I HATE needless drama.
6. Though I am a ghost hunter, I do not like closed in places (car window always cracked) and am scared
of heights and reptiles. (Yes, I hate frogs and blue tailed lizards may as well be the size of dragons!)
7. I love to just pick up and "Go". I am not much of a planner. (A Sagittarius trait.)
8. I am really into aromatherapy. Lavender is my favorite scent and I grow my own.
9. I LOVE to read and rarely take the time to do so. I also had trouble learning to read as a child.
10. I am really not that fond of chocolate and never have been. (For the exception of chocolate pie!)
11. I have ALWAYS thought that clowns are just creepy.
12. I am 100% happy just being me! :)
If you are traveling for the holidays, please be safe!

October 2013 "Rants & Raves"
So October is here, and we are under the full moon. Funny, fall is not my favorite season, but
so far I have really enjoyed it. I have
actually enjoyed watching the leaves change and the cool evenings. Besides,
this is the month of Halloween, my absolute FAVORITE!
Now for the bad news…. This is just the beginning of Mercury
Retrograde. (October 21st to
November 10th). What can I
say about this one? It is going to be a
doozie! Upcoming projects can prove to
be difficult. Mechanically it will
affect things. But the biggest problem
that I can see is the “Emotional Plain”
ahead. This time frame is REALLY
going to bring the emotions out in almost everyone, both good and bad. This is one of those cases that the only way
out is to just get through it. However,
if you are aware of it, it may make things a “Little” easier.
It seems I have been in a complete whirlwind this entire
month. It has been one project after
another, including my daughter’s baby shower last weekend. (That was totally awesome by the way!) We have just found out that baby Jaselyn is
small and breech. Though she is not due
until November 18th, another ultrasound will take place on
Halloween. (Let me know what you think
on a due date, I have said all along its November 5th.).
My paranormal team CVAPI, also spent some time filming with
our local news station WRIC Channel 8.
(A big thanks to the Byrd Theatre and Wrexham Hall!) They will begin plugging the story the day
before Halloween and it will air in 2 or 3 parts the day, night and evening of
Halloween. I had a really great time
working with them. For those of you out
of the area, part of the story will go up on their website and I will post the
links.
October is not over yet!
Next Sunday, October 27th at 3PM, you can look for
Ghost Hunting 101, here locally in Chester.
(All of the information will be posted tomorrow on CVAPI’s
website.) This is always a big hit, and
fills up REALLY quick! If your local don't forget to join
us at Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research.
What else is coming up?
I have two meetings this coming week for new projects. Both have to due with the psychic realm and
the paranormal field. I hope to be able
to provide updates on this soon.
I’m also in discussions about my next big trip. It looks like this will occur in the first
quarter of the year. NEW ORLEANS! I’m so flipping excited about this I can’t
stand it! This has been on my list of
places to visit for years!
Part of my month has also consisted of hiring a new CPA (as
mine of many years retired). And,
setting up a new computer system. Yes,
after many years of being in business I am amazed at how things have
expanded. Though I started working part
time as a psychic to the public in 2001, my website launched as a three page
site in 2006.
I have also taken some “Still time” to reflect upon some
things. As in “where you were then and
where you are now”. (I recommend this
to everyone by the way.) Last October,
was the beginning of the deterioration of my Mother’s health with breast cancer
and two broken feet. That seemed to set
the pace for four of the worst months I think I have had in my entire
life. Looking back I am so glad that is
behind me now! I am in a wonderful spot right now and continuing to move
forward.
As of now, I am playing the month of November by ear. As I mentioned above, I have new projects
that are in the making, family coming in from Florida, a baby arriving, a
follow up to Tarot Card Workshop, and paranormal investigations. A quick trip upcoming? It appears so!
When is the best time to get a psychic reading? Two to two….2PM EST to 2AM EST. Psychic readings still come before
everything else. Follow me on Facebook
or Twitter for when I am available at the local level and any upcoming
specials. On that note, regarding the
social networks…. I get a TREMENDOUS
amount of emails on all of them. In the
event that you have not heard back from me PLEASE email me directly at Jackie@ms-swami.com I don’t intentionally avoid anyone, but
sometimes emails are overlooked on the networks!
Until next time….HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
