June 2014 "Rants & Raves"

Welcoming the month of June and the first day of summer hit on the 21^st.  (My favorite season of the year!)  Today I am celebrating 8 years on my website.  It is hard to believe that 8 years ago, it actually launched as a 3 to 5 page site.  So, for the remainder of the month, one-hour phone readings for $98 and the Reiki course remains on sale, with an additional discount to groups of 4 or more.  (Email me, for an appointment for a one-hour reading.)

I can say that June has been a rather productive month as far as me getting some things done that I had been putting off.  My daughter and I have also really enjoyed having Jaselyn outside and spending some pool time with her.

I do have an issue that I want to address this month.  That pertains to the bashing of psychics and the paranormal and a few other things on television.  I have a LOT to say about this so I plan to do so on a separate blog.

Live readings have been put on hold until I find another local venue.  As an alternative, you may want to check into hosting a Psychic Party.

I have run into some problems with scheduling appointments in advance.   I am in Virginia and in the Eastern Time Zone.  Understandably, a lot of you are in a different time zones.  Though I express this when setting the appointment, you can generally go to “Google”  to find the time zone conversion.  If you are having a problem with this PLEASE just let me know.

I have a lot of writing to get done, and just waiting for that notion to strike me.  I actually came across something I began a few years back that I was really impressed with.  The problem appears to be in finding the time to do so.

I do get a lot of questions on Reiki and will see if I can give you a brief summary of it.  It pertains to “Energy healing”.  Learning the “Chakras”  (the energy fields), and how to align them.  It is also used for the “Greater good”, meaning the intent is to heal or relieve pain in the areas needed.  Will it cure things?  NO.  It is wonderful for pain management, or centering and grounding yourself.  If you have any questions or anything you would like to discuss, don’t hesitate to email me.

Mercury Retrograde ends on July 1^st.  I have several varying reports of some that this retrograde has hit them hard, to some that say it has not been that bad.  Either way, you are coming up on the end of it.  The next Retrograde will hit October 4^th to October 25^th.  You can always find these dates on my website under the Free Horoscopes, as well as the traits of the zodiac and compatibility.

The month of July, it is all about new beginnings and getting things done!

Now to answer the most popular question that I get:

What do people ask you when they call?

-         Love Life (Most popular) Separation or divorce, long term or short terms, if someone is coming in their love life, are things ending, infidelity, and just about anything pertaining to love.

-         Career – Have they chosen the right career, job changes, new jobs, searching for a job, self-employed, problems at work, income, seminars and conventions, and anything pertaining to their career.

-         Money -  lack of, investments and purchases, the sale of home or property, residential moves, income potential, what the future holds, loans, those that have borrowed from them, etc.

-         Family & Friends – relationship problems, trust issues, when will they get together, vacations, etc.

-         Education – If they have chosen the right path, when they will return, funding, college, etc.

-         Missing – persons, pets and items.  (More on this below.)

That is not everything obviously, but that will give you a general idea.  My clients come from all over and all walks of life.

With one of my television appearances being on the Animal Planet, I really want to stress that I am NOT a “Pet Psychic”.  NO ONE can read your pet better than you.  However, I am good at locating them when missing and have done so many times for my friends and clients.  In regards to “Missing persons”, I do NOT get involved unless a family member or a detective directly contacts me.  (I also do not charge for this.)  And of course, I have a mouthful to say about psychics that do jump in the middle of an open investigation.

My next blog will be posted within a couple of days.  Follow me on Twitter for random specials and join me on Facebook.

May 2014 "Rants & Raves"

As we are coming out of Memorial Day, I thought this would be a good time to update my blog.  This is not a day about a day off, picnics, the beach etc.  But a day to remember those that lost their lives for our freedom.  (Also to support the families of those that have lost their loved ones).

It seems I have accomplished a lot this month, though it also flew by too quickly.  Living in Virginia, we are a state that gets to see all four seasons in their entirety.  Spring and summer are my favorite seasons.

This year, I spent the month taking care of last year’s problems in my backyard.  We had a Gazebo that I had spent the entire spring and summer trying to repair from being damaged by the snow.  IT IS GONE!  A new one has been installed.  Remnants of the old one are now turning into a pergola.  (A nice surprise from something destroyed.)  Also we had struggled with our above ground pool for the last two seasons after putting it on chlorine.  After a conversion process, it is no longer on chlorine and I am crossing my fingers because it appears that, so far so good.  I have one remaining section of the fence that is being replaced this week, so I am ready for the summer to begin!  My herb garden is coming along nicely as well.  I am trying some new things this year, so I will keep you posted on how that goes.

I have spent some time “Reflecting” this month.  Mother’s Day was a lovely day this year and I could not help but to remember my Mom.  Also her birthday is coming up (May 30^th).  It was also wonderful to see my daughter celebrate her first Mother’s Day with Jaselyn.

Honestly in looking back over the last few years, I believe I can finally say, “I am in a good spot!”  So much has occurred over the years, it is so nice to see things settle down.  For the first time in a long time it feels that everything has a “Natural flow” to it.  Does this mean that I am all caught up on my projects?  NO, I don’t think that will ever happen.  Just a timeframe that I really enjoy what I do.  I am also looking forward to a couple of new things coming up.

One of my biggest concerns now is my Siberian Husky “Sasha” as she ages.  She will soon turn 14 years old and her hips are giving out on her.  Though she caught her second wind when Jaselyn was born, her age is catching up with her.

I do want to talk about those that contact me for “Same day” appointments.   By all means, you may continue to do so.  However, I can only seem to accommodate this 75% of the time.  A lot of this is due to the fact that I am working with varying time zones.  Also a lot of people set their appointments a day or two in advance, therefore my day may already be booked up.  Either way, I do try to work you in the same day if you request it.  (And yes, I had a couple of clients that threw a fit that I couldn’t get to them right then.)

“Same day” appointments in person can be tricky.  Local readings are done at a venue, so if I have someone move the time or postpone then yes I can get you in.  For those that are seeking a reading locally, I can generally accommodate this on a couple of days notice.  (There again, it depends on the venue that I am using.)

Email readings remain the same; I can generally honor these within a 24-hour turnaround.  It is rare, but every now and then I will get backed up on these.  If that is the case, you will generally hear from me.

I have had a few that have emailed me about my living situation.  It appears that several have daughters that live at home that are now expecting.  I have to admit when I got the news of my daughter’s pregnancy I was a little overwhelmed on what all needed to be done in our home and with thoughts of baby stuff everywhere.  And yes, there is baby stuff everywhere.  What you will find is once they are born; you would not have it any other way!

The first few weeks you can expect to help out around the clock.  Newborns never sleep when you would like them to.  (I am sure you remember this.)  Next, I don’t “Raise” Jaselyn, and that is how these emails are being presented to me….How will you raise a grandchild?  I “Babysit” Jaselyn.  This means when her Mom gets home I am HANDS OFF.  Unless I want to snatch her up to play, or watch her while her Mom showers, I do nothing.  The other big thing….I don’t give unwanted advice!  I am fully confident in my daughter’s parenting abilities, and she is truly an amazing Mother.  I am on “Standby” for questions or if she wants to talk.  (I didn’t want someone to tell me how to raise her, so I am sure she feels the same!)  So remember that!  Be there for them when they need you, other than that, it looks like everything just feel into place.  No big secrets, just working together to get her on a schedule.

Just because they are under your roof does NOT mean you have a child to raise.  You become a Grandma, and cherish every moment of it.  I am Jaselyn’s “Mimi” and love every minute of it. ( My husband and I actually lived with my Grandmother when my daughter was born. ) Things will ALWAYS work out.  I am very blessed to be able to run my business, have a personal life, and both of them in my life as well.

In other news, my 800# on my website has changed!  (Same company and same rate, just a new number).  A pain yes, but nothing that could be prevented.  As always, local events and special rates go up on Twitter, and you can also follow me on Facebook.  Horoscopes will post to my website on June 1^st.  So until next time…

800# For Psychic Readings has changed

Effective today, May 1st, the 800# for psychic readings has changed.  The price for psychic readings remains the same as well as the extension.  The new phone number is:

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!)
