April 2014 "Rants & Raves"

This month has gone by super fast!   Here it is the end of April and I feel as though we just had Christmas.  I am really happy to see spring is here.  Things are coming into bloom and I have big plans for the backyard.

I am really pleased that I accomplished a lot in the month of April.  I have cleaned out some clutter in my office, caught up on my paperwork, bought my accounting up to date and have managed to keep all of my appointments.  That is a good month!

I had a wonderful Easter with my daughter and Jaselyn.  I also got to see some of our extended family that I had not seen in years.  Jaselyn is growing like a weed and now has two bottom teeth.  Time is flying!

I will return to downtown Richmond to Aqua on Tuesday May 6thand Tuesday May 20th.  psychic readings begin at 7pm.  I will also be available in the Chester area at least one Saturday in the month of May.

In regards to the “Free email follow up”, I am keeping this in place.  Please understand that sometimes I get backed up on emails and it may take a day for me to respond.  In the event that you have not received a response from me within 48 hours, please feel free to email me again.  I have a bad habit of reading emails with intentions of responding and will run into an appointment and forget about it.  (I’m working on this!)

For those that have my number programmed into your phones, please be advised that the 800# you call may change in the next 30 days.  The extension will remain the same but the actual number may change.  (More to come on this as I get updates.)  However, the price for psychic readings will remain the same.

While I have been playing “Catch up” on everything, CentralVirginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research has fallen to the wayside.  There WILL be a meeting the month of May and hope you will join us!

I am also getting a lot of inquires as to if I am accepting new members for CVAPI.   We are always keeping our eyes open.  I ask that you join us at Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research first.  As well as please let me know that you have an interest in CVAPI. 

What new project will I begin next now that I am all caught up?  Honestly, I am undecided but looking at different things.  (Right now I am hitting the work outs pretty hard.)  As well as looking forward to Mother’s Day and Memorial Day coming up in May.

Mercury Retrograde will hit us again June 7^th, so if you are planning new projects, now is the time to begin them.  (It is never advised to begin anything new during Mercury Retrograde.)  Don’t forget your horoscopes for the month of May! (They will go up around midnight tonight.) And join me on Facebook and Twitter.

Until next time…(Blog on Reiki….COMING UP!)

Events in April

Psychic Readings at Aqua

Psychic Readings and the Reiki Course

Live Psychic Readings Saturday April 19th Chester Virginia

Please ask me first....

It has come to my attention that quotes from my blogs and my websites are appearing in numerous blogs and some have been used on radio shows.   The links that have been sent to me are all flattering and done so in a positive light. One indeed did reference an event that I will not be attending. All that I ask, is that you email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com so I can at least be aware of it. If you can catch me at the right time, I don't mind doing an interview.  I do tend to get a little disturbed when someone says that they saw my quote or something I said somewhere, and I have never even heard of it.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation!!!  :)

March 2014 "Rants & Raves"

As I write this it is hard to believe that we are coming up on the end of the first quarter for 2014.  Time is flying by!  It has been wonderful to welcome spring though the weather here in Virginia does not seem to want to cooperate.  I am beginning to think that Mother Nature is bipolar. 

I am actually anxious about beginning to work in the yard.  Once again, I am revamping the entire back yard.  (A never-ending project around here.)  I am also ready to get my herb and lavender garden underway.  I have a friend with a greenhouse who starts my seeds for me.  (Cheating)

March has been a busy month of working my website, a couple of events as well as accounting.  Accounting, yes I hate it!  However I am more than pleased with the progress that has been made considering tax day is right around the corner. 

I have to admit that my YouTube channel has been neglected this month.  Time will permit for that soon.  The same as a meeting for CentralVirginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, I ran out of month!  (A paranormal meeting is in the works for the month of April.)

My spring newsletter went out this week.  As a matter of fact, all week it seems.  I generally send out four a year, one each quarter.  I have to admit as the subscriber’s list grows I am torn about continuing to send this out verses publishing it here or on my website.  I have many that look forward to it and many that will inquire or state that they did not receive it.  This is a continuing battle with the spam filters, so I am now looking at this option instead.

Though I have offered Psychic Development to groups, I have recently started this as a phone session and seeing a lot of success.  I do want to remind you that this is done by appointment only.  They generally take an hour and a half, but I ask that you set aside two hours.  The first part is your assessment, while the second part is on development.

Events for the month of April are filling up quickly.  I will  continue to be at the Aqua Lounge in Shockoe Bottom in downtown Richmond the first and third Tuesday of the month.  I am also looking forward to working the Spring Fling Sunday April 6^th in Chester.  There I will have the Reiki Course as well as offer psychic readings.  Other vendors there will include Thirty-one, Jamberry Nails, Orgami Owl, Avon, Tupperware, Scentsy, It Works, and Tastefully Simple.  This should be a LOT of fun.

(Check my Events calendar through the month as things are added or dates are changed.)

Thank you to those that follow me on Twitter.  I am still a little new to “Tweeting” but have enjoyed it.  I will continue to put specials on there for select weekends.  Of course, you can always find me on Facebook.

Now to answer some questions:

Do you use an agency?

No I don’t and never have. So please don’t have them contact me.  I prefer working with people one on one for events or appearances.  An agency will tend to keep me on the road more than what I would like or keep up with.

Do you ever do readings for other psychics?

Yes.  Psychics have a hard time reading for themselves.  That applies to me as well.  We only get very little information verses the whole picture.  It is very common for us to trade readings from time to time.

Do you have any new projects in the works?

Yes.  This has to do with the psychic realm of things and will be ongoing for the next few months.  There will be more to come on this at a later date.

Have you ever met someone that you did not want to read for?

Not really.  I have met negative people as we all do from time to time.  Some drain me more than others and I think that is common.

Do you plan to keep your free email follow up?

I am trying.  As long as I can keep up, yes, it will stay in place.

I have several email addresses for you.  What is the best to reach you on?

Jackie@ms-swami.com  this is my primary address and checked most often.

What exactly is Reiki?

I am getting this a LOT.  It is also known as the “Healing Touch” or “Energy Healing”.  Hang in there with me as I plan to write a blog on nothing but the topic of Reiki.

What is your personal opinion on horoscopes?

Coming from someone that writes them once a month, I find that they are fun.  They are a generalized measurement of time for each zodiac sign.  Even if published daily I don’t find that they carry a lot of weight.  Just fun.  It is funny though, those that don’t believe in psychic abilities or the paranormal, I find are usually the ones that read their horoscopes every morning.

How is Jaselyn?

Wonderful, a delight, a shear joy, and a breath of fresh air!  She has a really great personality and learns something new almost daily.  Her and her mom, make everything I do ….WORTH IT!

Until next time...

February 2014 "Rants & Raves"

What a short and crazy month this has been!  I think I can credit a lot of this to Mercury Retrograde running from Feb. 6^th to Feb. 28^th.  (A high energy Retrograde I might add.)  The month for me began with renewing my business license as well as my notary commission.  (This always takes nearly a whole day for whatever reason.)

Thank you to those that came out to the Aqua Lounge in Downtown Richmond this month.  I will be returning there in March on Tuesday March 4^th and Tuesday March 18^th, psychic readings begin at 7PM.  Feel free to email me for details.  Also a thank you to those that attended the second Tarot Card Workshop.  This workshop will be offered online through my website very soon! (It has been delayed a little longer than I originally had planned.)

Jaselyn and I have worked out a schedule that fits both her needs and mine.  As you can see by her Valentine’s Day picture, she is growing like a weed!  (A refreshing change to last Valentine’s Day when I lost my Mother.)

I spent a full day in the studio this month filming an episode of “A Haunting” from one of our cases in 2009.  I love this show!  I also loved the fact that it is an hour to which I think the family was able to get out their story in its entirety.  I have to admit that I was a little skeptical going into this case with what they reported.  Boy, did that location prove me wrong!  I can say that we could back up their claims with some footage to prove some of what they reported.  It was GREAT to reunite with them and see how well they are doing today.  They described the filming as “Therapy” to give them their final closure.  This is projected to air this summer on Discovery’s Destination America, and I will keep you posted.  If you have an interest in the paranormal be sure to visit our website. For the locals with a paranormal interest, I will set up a meeting for the public sometime in March.

It is amazing to see how my clients have evolved over the years.  From their psychic readings to the reports of the paranormal.  It certainly does make things worth my time!  As always, I continue to add new projects to my plate.  What is life without goals?

I am seeing a lot of new traffic to my website.  Though I do not wish to take time from your psychic reading to ask, please take the time to email me and tell me how you found my site.  I would GREATLY appreciate it.  I advertise on several different sources and sometimes have a hard time tracking which is most effective.

I am getting a lot of inquiries on the Reiki Course.  I plan to spin off a blog on this in the next few days.  Meanwhile, if you have any questions regarding Reiki, feel free to email me directly.

March is right around the corner.  With that don’t forget that Daylight Savings Time is March 9^th and the first day of spring is March 20^th.  Hallelujah!  It has been a rough winter here in Virginia.  (I am most certain that this will be followed by a 100-degree summer.)   Your free monthly horoscope will post to my website on March 1^st.  I am kicking off March 1^st with live psychic readings in Chester, Virginia.  Also, keep an eye on my Events calendar, as my schedule is forever changing and sometimes events are added with little notice.

Upcoming, I will be working on my spring newsletter, so send me your email address if you wish to be added to the list.  I also hope to update my YouTube channel in the next few days. 

What is the best time to reach me for a psychic reading?  Between 1PM to 1AM.

Until next time…
