February 2017 "Rants & Raves"

We are quickly approaching spring!  February is our shortest month of the year and it’s going by fast! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

The weather here has been crazy.  There have been a lot of warm days giving me the impression that we will be in store for one hot summer.  Also, I know of many that are suffering from sinus infections and some with the flu.

In other news, I am happy to report that my daughter was Baptized in the month of February.  I am so very happy with the positive changes in her life and believe they will only get better.

As we get ready to enter the month of March, I feel like I just did the horoscopes for the first of the year!  (Your monthly horoscopes for March, will post on my website tomorrow.)  I will continue to post your free weekly horoscopes on YouTube as long as I can manage.  I do them between appointments and some weeks can be challenging to get them done.

March 12^th brings in Daylight Savings and March 20^th brings in the first day of spring.  This should be a wonderful month, as we do not go back into Mercury Retrograde until April 9^th.  I intend to get my spring newsletter out somewhere around the end of March into the first part of April and you can subscribe to that here.

Last month, due to many requests, I did put the 800# back in place.  Although this system may say I am available, I urge you to please check my live calendar as it is updated often.  For example, CVAPI has an investigation coming up this week, and I will be taking the evening off.

With so many changes that went into effect, please let me know if you run into any technical difficulties on my website.  It appears that most of the bugs have been found and fixed, but generally I am unaware until someone brings it to my attention.

For those that have an interest in Reiki, this is a good time to catch me as most of my students are all caught up!

I am going to keep this short and simple as I have a pile of paperwork to get done.  (By far NOT my favorite thing!)  Join me on Facebook and Follow me on Twitter.

Until next time…

January 2017 "Rants & Raves"

Happy New Year everyone!  It is always nice to see the start of a new year to see what this year will bring in.

This has been a crazy busy month for me.  Mostly paperwork.  Closing out 2016 and my daughter’s accounting as well.  We did see a good snow in January and I imagine that we will see one more in February.  Although I am not fond of cold weather spring will be here in just a few weeks!

The majority of the changes are now in place on my website.  After many requests, I have reinstated the 800# at the regular rate. (I will keep this as long as we do not run into any technical problems.)  There will be no rate increase for 2017.

The best time to catch me is between 1pm and 1am.  However, I am starting a new project in the month of February, so I may eventually change this.  There is always a live calendar to show when I am available.

I plan to bring the Meetups back with Central VA PsychicDevelopment & Paranormal Research.  Since February is a short month, I will probably go ahead and schedule this for the month of March.

For those of you interested in Reiki, this is an excellent time to get started!  This is the first time in awhile that I have everyone caught up on their certifications.  If you have any questions you can email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com.  This is designed to work at your own pace, and group discounts are available.

My next newsletter will go out in the month of March and you can subscribe here.

Don’t forget to check out your horoscopes on the first!

December 2016 "Rants & Raves"

Christmas is this weekend!  I don’t think I have been this excited about Christmas in years.  I give that credit to Jaselyn’s three-year-old spirit running around here.  We have all had an exciting month of going to church with her, and of course the Elf on the Shelf!  (Although she was NOT happy when she caught the elf eating the Christmas cookies she had made.) The countdown for Santa to arrive is officially on and she is very excited!

A really big THANK YOU to all of you that take the time out of your day to keep us in your thoughts.  This time of year I get emails from everyone that just make all of my efforts worthwhile.  I love hearing your stories and seeing photos of your families and the recipes you send.  Totally awesome!  I also want to give a special thanks and shout out to Patty and Nikki.  (Ironically, both of these ladies are in New Jersey.)  Thank you for all that you do and for just being YOU!

Usually this is the time of year that I post my predictions for the upcoming year.  Overall, I don’t believe 2016 has been a “Bad” year, but it hasn’t been an “Easy” year in general.  I am looking for 2017 to be easier with more of a natural flow to it.  This year I have done things differently by making those predictions a little more personable by the zodiac signs.  You will find those videos on YouTube.  (Under the Channel’s playlist of 2017 predictions.)

Moving forward with 2017, your free monthly horoscopes will remain in place and you can look for an extended version in January.  NO rate increase in 2017, and new services will be offered.  There is also a directline and a live calendar, where you can reach me most anytime.  As always, for this time of year, the Holiday Specials are on my homepage under the Christmas Tree.  (12-month email report has around a 2-day wait on them.)

I am seeking those that would like to give me permanent feedback that would include your first name and the state you are in.  This will replace the achieved feedback of many years on the site. (It is slowing the website down.)  I am pleased to say that most of the changes are now in place.

Feel free to join me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.

This is just my time to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 

Until next time…

November 2016 "Rants & Raves"

I have had so much going on this month, that I feel like I have missed the entire month of November!

November 22^nd, the first day of Sagittarius, Jaselyn turned three!  She is so cute and super sweet.  (Prejudiced I know!)  She had a cute little princess party for her birthday.  This was quickly followed by Thanksgiving.  We had some friends join us this year and really had a great time!

The month ended for me with the final step on my business.  (This has taken months!)  The end result has left me as being the only licensed psychic in my County.  Although I have always had my business license since 2006, it was classified differently as a home business even though the classification stated psychic and tarot card reader.  The first of the year, I had to change the company name, and this created changes with the business as well.

All across the country we have this “Fortune Teller Ordinance”.  The one in my County was adopted in 1940, and I am the first to go through with the entire process.  Although it took a lot of money, meetings and a lot of steps to follow, it is a “Do able” process. I am discouraged to find that many have inquired about it but chosen not to go through with it. I can say that every County Official I met with was more then willing to help me through this.  (I also wondered if this was adopted in my Great Grandmother’s era, as 1940 would have been when she worked as a psychic out of Richmond.)

In case your wondering….I DO support the ordinance.  The industry is 80% shady, unfortunate but true, and I remain and advocate against Psychic Scams.

The change in my business was due to Identity Theft, and this I would wish upon no one!  This has been a year of in and out of attorney’s offices and courtrooms, and it’s not over yet. It appears that some of this may be wrapped up in December while some will carry forward into the New Year.

This also prompted change in the business due to a “Chronic complainer” in the County. (It does make you wonder why an individual feels they know more about me or my business then the County does.)  Is this the same person responsible for my Identity Theft?  There have been numerous investigations at many levels so I am sure it will all come out eventually.

The end result, all of my websites are changing back to NORMAL!  Thank you all for your patience on this and to my surprise many of you had not even noticed until I pointed it out to you.

Overall, this has not been a “Bad” year, but rather a year of cleaning up messes created by someone else, and a really good learning experience.   On the financial end of things, it has hit hard, in addition I have to get ready to repay a lot of these fees in the month of January.  A GoFundMe has been set up in an effort to help me keep things under control.

Also new to the website, I have only had a few of you request or inquire, but I am now set up to process American Express and Discover!  Don’t forget, the best times to reach me are between 1pm to 1am EST.

Your December horoscopes are up!  And for those of you that did not know you get your “Freebie” from me every week, in the form of YouTube videos.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now getting ready for Christmas!

Until Next Time…
