Jackie resigns from Examiner.com as the Richmond Psychic & Paranormal Examiner

I began as a Contributor for Examiner.com in 2009 as the Richmond Psychic & Paranormal Examiner.

Due to time constraints in the last couple of years, I have only published articles on a “Need be” basis.  The one thing that has remained consistent was publishing your horoscopes on the first of each month. 

Although I was able to see how many views they would receive, I had NO IDEA as many of you followed them from month to month.  The last few days, I have received many emails and contacts via social networks.  (I was also very touched that many of you wondered if everything was okay or if something was wrong as to why they had not published.) 

Below, you will find the reason “Jackie’s horoscopes for August 2015” was not published on Examiner.com

 _________________________________________________________________________________

Note from the Reviewer:

Article unpublished.  Examiner does not accept articles about conspiracy theories (political or otherwise), the supernatural, astrology, or the paranormal.  Personal opinion is okay, but should always be supported by factual information.

Hmmmm….now isn’t this interesting considering my title is the Richmond Psychic & Paranormal Examiner?  (In case you are wondering, a “Reviewer” is a staff member of Examiner.com)

Objectively, I did contact them.  In a nutshell, it appears that Examiner.com are changing their viewpoints on certain topics.  They did offer to change my title. 

In consideration that I have been a contributor since 2009, I strongly felt that I was deserving of a phone call or at least an email.  Since this did not happen I personally viewed it as unprofessional and honestly, down right rude.  Therefore, I resigned.

I did leave with the copyright on all of the content that I have published over the years.  You may find those articles published on my website here.  Some of the links to the businesses are not up.  If I have published an article on you over the years, and your link is not up, please let me know so I can take care of this ASAP!

As for your monthly horoscopes, they are published on my website monthly and you may find them here.  (Your past horoscopes are at the bottom of the page.) I will continue to publish the monthly horoscopes. As of yesterday, I have set up a free “Subscription” to have these delivered to your email address.  In addition, you may also subscribe to my articles, blog posts and newsletter.  (Click here to Subscribe.)

The subscription service was just set up yesterday.  I am amazed at the number of you that have signed up without me even making this public!  I am more then flattered!  I thank you all for your support!

I am a firm believer that “When one door closes, another door opens.”

July 2015 "Rants & Raves"

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy 4^th of July.  Time is indeed flying by!

My month began with some dental work followed by some asthma problems.  However, now that we have broken the triple digit heat here, all seems to be well.

As always it has been another busy month for me.  However, I must say that I have taken a little time off to play!  We had friends visit with us from New Jersey this month.  What a blast!  I also took off an enjoyed a day at the zoo with my daughter and granddaughter.

I have to admit, I was surprised to see the penguins!  I always thought they were in cold weather.   I never knew they had colonies of them in South Africa!

I will be sneaking away with my daughter and granddaughter to a cabin at a nearby lake for a weekend in the month of August.  (Very much looking forward to it!)

I have had a few of you inquire about my book.  It is almost complete!  A few finishing touches and I just need to schedule the time to do so!

Something new for me this month, I am trying Hypnosis!  I am a “Seeing is believing” type of person so I will update you on this later on.  So far, so good and I will say it is relaxing.

For the next few days, you may notice that things and/or people from the past are resurfacing.  Do not be surprised.  The Blue Moon is this Friday.

I have had a spell where it almost felt as though we were under Mercury Retrograde (which we are not) due to things breaking.  Then I realized my granddaughter has assisted in most of it, lol.

Be sure to get in all of your summertime fun in the month of August as fall will be here before you know it!

I am considering starting my newsletter back up, and I am launching an advertising campaign with Living Social.  (That should be up at the end of August or early September.)  Meanwhile if you would like to get on my mailing list, shot me an email to Jackie@ms-swami.com.

I do have a paranormal investigation setup in the month of August.  Honestly, I am excited as this place has a nice history and we took the summer off.

Meanwhile, I have a laptop that is down, and will try to get Windows 10 on it.  Computers acting up are the height of my frustrations!  (Sagittarius are not known to be patient.)

If you are local and interested in having a psychic party or some type of get together, please, please, please give me a couple of weeks notice!  A lot of my readings are done by appointments, so I have to make sure I can accommodate.  The best time to contact me for a psychicreading is between 1pm and 1am. 

We are nearing the end of the month, so look for your horoscopes after midnight on July 31^st.  Join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter as specials go out in my Tweets.  I will wrap this up with a few Q&A’s.

What part of Virginia are you in?

Outside of Richmond

Can I go with you on a paranormal investigation?

CVAPI asks that anyone interested to please join us atCentral Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research.  (There will be an upcoming meeting on this.)  Those with a high interest, we will try to accommodate.

When will your book be ready?

I have a few rewrites to do and its finding the time to do so.  Then it is off to the editor, so I will keep you posted.

What is your best deal on a psychic reading?

The weekly forecast.  It’s done on a monthly subscription, personalized and about a paragraph long (If delivered via email) and delivers on Sundays.  I will also say that there is limited availability left on these.

When will you have your next Tarot Card Workshop?

Sometime this fall.

Until next time…

Jackie's horoscopes for July 2015

June 2015 "Rants & Raves"

HELLO SUMMER!  The first official day of summer was June 21^st.  Although I can say that here, we saw many hot days prior to that! 

This is another month that has flown by quick enough that I almost forgot my blog!  For most of you, June has proven to be a mess.  Mercury Retrograde hit in full force followed by an odd alignment of a couple of the planets.  Well once we clear today, you should see some “normalcy” return.

I have spoke with a lot of you that are heading on vacation.  As we come into the 4^th of July weekend, I wish you all safe and happy travels.  We have had some family in visiting from Florida this month.  The summer months are all about vacation!  We are also excited to have some friends come in from New Jersey in the month of July.

My schedule will remain the same for the month of July.  The best time to catch me for a psychicreading remains between 1pm and 1am.  My plan for July is psychic readings, catching up on some accounting, as well as working on some finishing touches on my book.

I can say that I have no complaints about the heat as this is my favorite season of the year.  Jaselyn and I started a small garden back in April and it is thriving!  She enjoys that every single day.  We also had to replace our pool liner this year.  The problem with me appears finding the time to get in it! 

I have many of you inquiring about my next local event.  Because I stay busy, it has been hard for me to schedule anything.  (I am also factoring in that some of you are leaving for vacation.)  So meanwhile, if you can get a group together, then I would suggest you looking into a “Psychic Party.”

I am grateful to say that I have seen an increase in new clients over the last few months.  Though I stay on top of my emails, please remember that sometimes it will take 24 hours or more for me to respond. 

All the kinks with the new phone system appear to be fixed.  There is a new toll free number on the site that no longer has an extension.  I thank you all for working with me during that transition to the new system.

I have not scheduled anything for Central Virginia PsychicDevelopment & Paranormal Research due to the heat.  I also have many inquiries about those that are interested in a paranormal investigation.  I hope to have an open investigation for the pubic one evening in July.

I am kicking off the month of July (tomorrow) with some dental work.  I will NOT be available tomorrow evening, and I plan to carry a light schedule on Thursday.  Everything should be back to normal by Friday.

Some of you have a long weekend this week so ENJOY!  I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.

Your horoscopes will post at midnight tonight.  Join me on Facebook and specials go out all the time on Twitter.

Until next time…

Jackie's horoscopes for June 2015

http://www.examiner.com/article/jackie-s-horoscopes-for-june-2015

May 2015 "Rants & Raves"

Hello Mercury Retrograde!  Yes, it appears to be in full affect and will run until June 11^th.  Depending on your zodiac sign, this one is hitting some emotionally, in their love life, and some financially.  It is the time of the “Unexpected” where you can expect anything from “Good to bad” in those areas.

For whatever reason, from time to time, I am seeing a delay when someone messages me on Facebook.  In the event that I don’t respond, this is probably why.  Your best bet is to email me directly through one of my websites.

I have a LOT of inquiries regarding my next local event.  Generally I would have this set up by now.  However, I have had a lot going on this month as well as keeping up with my readings and emails.  I do hope to have something set up towards the end of June.

In a previous blog, I had mentioned that if you were local I could generally make arrangements to meet somewhere.  A LOT of this depends on your location and if I have appointments.  So please consider that I need as many days in advance as possible.

After a rough winter I SWORE that I would not complain about the hot weather.  However, that appeared to change when my air conditioning went out!  (I might add, right when the humidity hit, of course.)  You probably have no idea just how much I hate dealing with contractors on anything.  However, my faith was restored in finding an honest one!  (Yes, there are still a few honest people out there, you just have to find them!)  So now that AC season is in full force here in Virginia, and if your local, give David Hall from Hall’s Heating and Air Inc. a call at (804) 218-2403.  (Tell him Jackie sent you.)  Not only was he honest, he explained everything thoroughly, did a great job, and followed up himself.

With that said, a few weeks in the heat, and I am running behind on several things.  (Writing and scheduling events for starters.)  I hope to get that under control this week.

Next, I have switched up things on the Weekly Forecast, though I have not had it changed on the website.  Because these are personalized forecasts, some weeks may be a little longer then other.  Therefore, I prefer the delivery method via email.  (These go out every Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening.)  Due to the amount of subscriptions there is LIMITED AVAILABILITY for me to take on any more.  So if this is something that you are considering, it is something you need to take action on.

In regards to the Reiki Course, I still have some copies available and I have had many ask.  YES, I am retiring this but not anytime soon.  If it is something that you are interested in email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com. 

CVAPI is continuing to get requests for paranormal investigations.  This week I will start setting up the schedule.  In regards to Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, I am also seeking to setup something here as well.  This is probably going to be on an evening so we don’t melt in the heat.

Jaselyn is growing like a weed and LOVES being outside.  She has a little garden out back that she enjoys working in and loves anything to do with water.

For those that have seen me through the technical problems of my phone line for the last 2 months, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!  This has prompted an entire system upgrade, so if you have me stored in your phone, there is a new number….

1-800-679-6021  No extension number and the same price.  (This system will now notify you when you are coming up on the end of the call.)  In the event you call and do not get an answer, please wait a few minutes and call back.  Chances are I am indeed on another call with someone that has a prior appointment.  Though rare, it does happen from time to time.  The best time for psychic readings is between 1pm to 1am.

Your horoscopes will publish tomorrow and don’t forget that the first official day of summer is June 21^st.   I know a lot of you are planning vacations so be safe and have fun!

Until next time…

March & April 2015 "Rants & Raves"

I had to check, because I have never missed a month of posting, however, I ran out of time in the month of March.  (And no I didn’t forget, I just didn’t have time to get to it.)

The last few weeks I have been juggling appointments, Jaselyn, my book and the dreaded deed of yard work.

I am super excited to see spring here!  (Excluding the pollen of course.)  However, the yard work that comes with it is always challenging in the clean up after the winter.  I am happy to report that this task is almost complete!

The book I am working on is coming to an end.  (Kind of sad about that as odd as that may sound.)  I had hoped to have it to the editor by now, but due to my schedule I have pushed that back a bit.  And of course I have a few rewrites where I want to change some things up.  However, I will keep you posted on this.  I can say I have enjoyed every single minute of it and kind of sad that it’s coming to an end.  There again, I am excited because there is a second one that will follow.

Miss Jaselyn is a delight!  She is spitting out new words each week.  I am amazed on how smart she is and how quickly she picks up things.  She is a joy to have around!  Currently we are working on a small garden for her to plant things in.  (She loves digging in the dirt.)  I have purchased my own car seat and looking forward to park dates and story time at the library.

Though I struggle with my sinuses and allergies, I am enjoying watching everything come into bloom.  My azaleas bloomed this week.  My aunt planted them years ago and they now stand between 8 and 10 foot tall!  Simply gorgeous!

Spring brings crazy weather around here.  From hot to cool.  I am still trying to plan an outing to Hollywood Cemetery so if you are interested join me at Central Virginia Psychic Development &Paranormal Research.

CVAPI is getting a lot of calls, but due to my schedule I don’t have any investigations logged as of now.  (And since I actually typed that I am sure I will!)

So far, everything for me has been rolling along pretty smoothly.  Sometimes you just have to embrace that you are just “In a good spot.”  I am happy to report, that is where I am!

My daughter has been doing wonderful with Origami Owl and loving it.  They now offer “Inscriptions”  (below), so my personalized one came in and I LOVE IT.  She is beginning to work local area vendor events, so if you know of one coming up, please let me know and I will pass it along to her.

Due to being a “Ghost hunter” I have often asked if I am scared of anything.  Well the truth is YES.  (Not of ghosts, even though if you ever see one it will leave you speechless and cost you a few nights sleep.)  My fear….Lizards and frogs!  (Or any reptile!)  Currently my patio appears to be full of those blue tail lizards.  Although they are harmless (And probably just as scared of me.)  They scare me to death!   They may as well be the size of a dragon!  My cat Roxy recently killed one, earning her the name of “Roxy the dragon slayer”, currently she is my hero!  (That is huge because we don’t always get along!)

I want to remind everyone that Mother’s Day is May 10^th.  Take care of your Mom’s and if you are a Mother yourself I hope you have a special day and will do something to celebrate your AWESOMENESS!

Currently, I don't have anything local lined up.  However, email me, and I can make arrangements to meet you somewhere.
