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!

Jackie's horoscopes for November 2014

"The Brownstone" with WRIC Channel 8

Channel 8 did correct the story to read "The Brownstone".  Here is the link to the investigation.

October "Rants & Raves"

I cannot believe we are at the end of October.  I feel like I have been in a whirlwind since August.  However, I am pleased, as I have accomplished a lot in a very short time frame.

We have logged another investigation in Downtown Richmond, for WRIC Channel 8.  That story will air sometime this week.  For those out of the area, I will see if I can find an online link to the story or get it up on my website.

I do have a couple of more investigations to complete before the year ends.  Our next Ghost Hunting 101 presentation is Tuesday November 11^th at Pamunkey Library in Mechanicsville, Virginia at 6pm.  If you have never been, please come by.  There is a LOT of information packed into a 2-hour presentation.

It does appear that the call for Virginia this winter is “Wet and white”.  I hope to take some time off from investigating the first of the year, to allow me to catch up on some other things.  The weather here this month has been perfect, I have no complaints!

I am sooo looking forward to Halloween!  It is a shame that it is not a weeklong holiday!  (There is nothing better than dressing up and candy!)  This year my daughter and I will be taking Jaselyn for her first Halloween.  She is dressing up as her all time favorite….Spongebob.

I finally feel like I have made some head way in accomplishing some things around my home.  Of course, there are still a few projects left, but the big ones are done!

I have had a couple of emails this month regarding that I was going to stop publishing the monthly horoscopes.  I am not sure where these rumors get started, but it is just that!  I will continue to publish the monthly horoscopes, both at Examiner and to my website.

Now that my schedule is dieing down with the paranormal for the year, I may very well begin making some changes to my website.   (There is a new store going up, and that link will be added soon!)

Psychic readings are always first in my priorities.  The best time to reach me remains between 1pm and 1am.  I do get backed up on emails from time to time, but for the most part you should not have more than a 24-hour wait.

I am in process of putting together the next Tarot Card Workshop for the month of November.  This will go up on my website soon and generally fill up quickly!

My next newsletter will go out soon.  To get on the mailing list send me and email to Jackie@ms-swami.com

Join me on Facebook and I post "Random" specials for psychic readings on Twitter.

HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
