May's Rants and Raves....

What a rough month it has been in the Tomlin household! I would almost swear we were under Retrogade! Unfortunately, my daughter and I have been through two back to back deaths of our friends this month, and hoping that things are now turning around on a more positive note. In addition, we have an abandoned construction job in the backyard, that I am happy to say, is now coming up on completion. (We have also had our Maine Coon a little under the weather.) I have had some emails regarding my new adventure with "Body wraps by Jackie", though my schedule has been tight this month, things are going well. If you are currently on a weight loss program, this is the way to go. For those that are seeking extra income, please feel free to contact me at www.ms-swami.com and I will email you some information. For actual before and after pictures you can visit my Facebook page for the body wraps. (If your local, we are having a wrap party this weekend in Sussex!) This week, brings back more of a "normal" schedule for me and psychic readings. And yes, I will be available during the holiday weekend. If you are local, we are planning an outing to the Midlothian Coal Mines this Saturday May 26th, at 4PM and hope you will join us. (The very first coal mines in the US, more information here.) I also have Live Psychic Readings coming up the first Saturday in June beginning at 11AM at Kahnee's Korner. (Check my Events page.)Though I haven't done a lot of radio lately, you can catch me live Monday June 4th, at 7PM EST on PARA-X. And of course CVAPI, (Central VA Paranormal Investigations)remains busy, with our latest investigation being released in a few days. In other news, I have OFFICIALLY pulled out of Sideline Cafe, local readings will be scheduled elsewhere. (Details coming soon!) Some of you out west, sent me photos of the eclipse yesterday, thank you very much. We were under clouds and I completely missed it! I have also recieved many warm wishes for my Mother, who by the way, has a birthday at the end of the month. (A Gemini!) I look for the remainder of the month to take a more positive turn. I intend to remain busy with my readings, finishing up my projects on the homefront, and I am actually thinking about a vertical herb garden...(Although my daughter considers that "Creating work") Now, for a couple of common questions.....My favorite color? Purple, always has been, since a child! My favorite food? I don't think I actually have a favorite, although I am partial to Italian and Seafood. My favorite place to visit? Old plantations and the beach! Look for me on Facebook and you can find me on Twitter. Wishing all of you a safe and joyful holiday weekend! More to come soon...

April's Rants and Raves...

Another month is quickly passing by! We are still dealing with the crazy spring weather here in Virginia. One day it feels like spring and the next like fall. As of this week, I believe the worst of the pollen will be over. (I'm hoping so anyway!) It's been a busy month for psychic readings, and I LOVE it when I'm busy! My new adventure has begun with the body wraps and this has been a tremendous amount of fun! I love seeing everyone's reaction as well as meeting new people. On the homefront, I had friends tear off my old deck (several years old) and they have begin installing a patio in its place. Due to an illness, this project has been placed temporarily on hold. In other news, I am "slowly" trying to talk my daughter into taking the position of my Administrative Assistant this summmer. (I soooo HATE paperwork!) My newsletter went out this month and I recieved several touching emails regarding my Mother. Thank you everyone! She is doing well, and I will certainly keep you posted! On the paranormal side of things, I have had to reschedule a couple of things this month for both CVAPI, as well as Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research. CVAPI currently is working on a new project that I will discuss later on. As far as Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, I have a lists of places that I hope we will visit over the summer. Spring does bring about new beginnings for almost everyone! Now is the time to address any projects that you may have been putting off. I can say that I cannot help but notice everyone's positive attitude lately! Now to answer a couple of questions: Will I offer another Tarot Card Workshop? Yes, I am planning to do this in the month of May. Keep your eye on my "Events" calendar from my websie. Will I set up another open chat on my website?YES, and we need to this soon! Remember the BEST way to contact me is through my website! If you message me on Facebook, I may miss it!

My New Adventure...

I guess I will start with a little of my psychic ramblings….
Coming from a Metaphysical background, I’m big into the whole Body, Mind, and Soul, and things that can enhance that. This includes holistic practices, homeopathy, and anything that is “All Natural.”
For those that have been following my blog, you know that I began a 10-week weight loss challenge at my gym in Mid February. (Week 8, and things are going well!) Although I must admit, I have not seen the inside of the gym in almost 3 weeks as that has been replaced with yard work. (NOT my favorite thing.)
As my results began to slow down, (due to not working out, and I had reached that “Stuck” point in dieting), I remembered a product that I used a few months ago. (And wondered why I didn’t stick with it because I saw results.) I also remembered that though I had used the body wraps (for cosmetic purposes), they offered supplements. (To which the trainers at the gym are CONSTANTLY preaching to me about.) So I decided to look them up again.
Strictly by coincidence, (or maybe it was fate?), that very week Sideline CafĂ© (A local spot I offer readings in on Tuesday nights) had a “Wrap Party”, with this distributor on the night I was there.
In speaking with the Distributor, I told her that I was a Loyal Customer and had used the Auto Ship plan of the product with GREAT results, (in which my family saw) and was going back to it. She asked me why I didn’t become a distributor? Well here was my list of reasons:
I work as a full time psychic. My hours are varying to accommodate those that are not in the US or Canada. I am a Reiki Master. I have a local meetup group known as Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research to which we have monthly meetings or outings. I have a local paranormal team known as CVAPI, with more cases than I can possibly ever get to. In my “spare time” I am a journalist for Examiner as the Richmond Psychic & Paranormal Examiner, as well as I publish articles for various other sites, and ezines. This is in addition to maintaining my home, yard, being a mother, and trying to have somewhat of a social life.. Due to this schedule, I have put a stop to doing radio shows. Exactly when would I have time to become a Distributor?
Her reply to me was, “Because the product sells itself.” (I HATE admitting when people are right, lol.) I know for a fact that the body wraps work, and they continue to work 2 days after they are applied. I saw a 5-inch difference in those days. Their entire lineup is “All Natural”. (Yep I am one of those geeks that looked up the ingredients and researched it myself, it is a “Detox” and not targeting “Water Weight”.) I saw inches in the Body Wraps because they are cosmetic, but I saw the scales move with the Greens, and the Protein shakes. (Again, I think the gym trainers know they were right when it comes to supplements.)
So then the question remained of “When will I have time to do this”? (I mean, I’m all about using a product I already love, and extra money? Well yeah, $20 in gas doesn’t go far in my truck!) My other questions were…of course you know there is a startup fee, there always is. I don’t have the cash to stock product, or the patience to sort and ship products, and when will I do parties?
I found out that you don’t HAVE to do parties. (Although the “Wrap Party” was a lot of fun and I plan on doing one myself.) You don’t have to work events. (Kind of a cool concept to “Party and get paid”.) Those that try the wrap will see results in 45 minutes. Stock product? You don’t have to. IF you choose to, (For parties and people to see the results) the product you can actually sell and to have a party, it will fit in your purse. Shipping products? You don’t have to do that either. Everything is drop shipped and managed through your website. The startup fee? Normally its $199, and right now it is $99 (which is actually $113 after all is said and done.). What do you get? Your own website, (in a matter of seconds), the Esuite (which shows your commissions etc,) Fitworks, training information, your customers etc., basically everything you need. You also get 1 box of the Ultimate Body Applicators, product catalogs, blitz cards etc. (I won’t get into the $100 fast start bonuses, product credit, etc.) I will tell you that if you sign up in the month of April, you qualify for a $10,000.00 bonus payable by $400 a month in addition to what you make. (And YES, it is perfectly feasible.) So with nothing to hide, I don’t mind sharing with you the income levels. (Paid monthly.)
Distributor - $71
Executive - $309
Ruby - $599
Emerald - $1121
Diamond - $1910
Double Diamond - $6035
Triple Diamond - $10541
Presidential - $16934
Ambassador - $31928
Now in all honesty, hitting Ruby level is PERFECTLY FEASIBLE in your first 30-days. My leader has been a distributor for 8 months, this month she hit Presidential Level. (No lie, she showed me her paychecks!) Surprisingly, she doesn’t spend all of her time with Parties and Events, most is marketed on Facebook. She works from home and spends time with her 2-yr old son. (If you met her, you wouldn’t know she makes that kind of money, as she is still in shock.)
Who would you market to? Your family, friends and co-workers. The product sells itself and takes off from there. (Body builders, salon owners, etc.) Do you have to be a salesman? No, you need to want to make money and have fun doing it. (And of course, I believe in the product!)
Now, why am I sharing this with you? When I look at my family, friends and clients, I can’t really think of anyone that couldn’t use extra money. I know some that are out of work completely, some that are seeking part time jobs just to maintain, and some, well they have too much time on their hands anyway, lol.
For those of you that know me, my business is built on one thing…. MY NAME! In all honesty I am not going to put my name on something I don’t believe in. Nor am I going to promote ANYTHING that I think may have some hidden gimmicks or catches to it.
I DID MY HOMEWORK. I researched the company and the product line. I even attempted to find negative things surrounding it. Did I find anything negative? Of course I did, but not as a Distributor but as a Loyal Customer, I can say what I read was due to the part of them not reading the website before purchasing. What I also discovered is the product was at The Oscars, The Emmy Awards, and on the set of Sex and The City 2!
I can personally tell you my experiences as just a Loyal Customer. I used the products and I loved the results. The day I cancelled my “Auto Ship”, it took one call to the 800# and it was done. I can also tell you that as a current business owner, its what you make of it. They give you all the tools you need, what you do with it and where your income is headed is up to you.
I have absolutely nothing to hide. I am sharing this with you because I would RATHER see us celebrate together! This is my actual story on how and why I became a Distributor with all BS aside. Very soon, I will be posting my own photos for everyone to see! Bottom line is I am drawn to “All Natural”, weight loss, and looking and feeling great, although this is not all that they offer. Who wants to turn down an affordable spa treatment, or the opportunity to make money?
Why did I publish this on my blogs? Because when I am approached with how I am doing it, whether it is weight loss or income, I am referring you back here. (NO ONE can say I didn’t share this!) I am not setting out for “Rich”, I’m setting out for extra money in my pocket for something I believe in.
Visit my website. Take a look around. Hit me up with any questions. IF you SERIOUSLY want to make some extra money, then email me at ms-swami@comcast.net with your name and phone number (And your time zone!) and lets discuss it. If you are interested in just trying the Ultimate Body Wrap, they are $25 a piece and we can discuss that as well.

More to come soon!

March "Rants & Raves"

I am super excited that today is the first day of spring! Spring and summer are indeed my favorite seasons. My availiability for readings will be a little sporadic this upcoming weekend (March 23rd, March 25th) as I have friends coming in from out of town.
As of today I am welcoming the employees from NJVC in Vienna, Virginia as part of thier perks program. I am really excited about this!
Though I am excited about spring, it is hard to believe that the first quarter for 2012 is almost over. Time is really flying by! This included two large psychic parties in both Fairfax, Virginia and Virginia Beach to which I met some wonderful people at both and had a super fantastic time.
CVAPI, has wrapped up another successful paranormal investigation this month and will move on to the next one in April. If you are local, there will be a free presentation March 31st at Sideline Cafe on "Its all about ghosts".
Also Saturday April 7th, I will be available for live readings at Kahnee's Korner Consignment (More info under EVENTS at www.ms-swami.com)from 11AM to 3PM. This will remain in effect the first Saturday of every month, so if you live in Virginia, I hope you will make arrangements to come and see me!
In meeting so many people this month I have found that one question sticks out to everyone. When did I know? I think that I knew in my early teenage years. In speaking with some family members, I am told that there were signs of it much earlier than that. (I do remember of being terrified of our family cemetery in which was in my Grandmother's yard.) As a teenager, it began with "flashes" like short films. (Enough to make you think your nuts.) I also remember a lot of premonitions in my dreams of things that were to come. (This still occurs on occasion.) Basically, I felt strange and awkward thinking there was something seriously wrong with me.
In my early twenties I began "playing" with it. What could I predict? Was I accurate? This eventually led me to do readings for family, friends and co-workers. I did this for several years. It was a family member that gave me the push to apply and work for the first online service part-time. This was the BIG turning point for me. It wasn't the fact that I was being paid, it was the fact that I accepted it, and others had accepted me.
Why do I say this was the big turning point? Because I changed completely. An internal peace that I cannot explain. With that the visions became more detailed and it appeared that I was seeing things that I did not believe were possible.
If you are one of those that have a gift of any sorts, the best advice I can give you is to accept it. Change will indeed occur once you do!
Even though the price of gas is going up, and the economy is still off, I am looking for spring to bring some positive changes. Even though we are currently under Mercury retrograde, I have seen a shift in most that I have read for and its to the positive! I will try to get a spring newsletter out in April so make sure that I have your email address on file!
I do tend to back up on emails from time to time, however, I also read every one of them. Don't ever hesitate to send me an email.
MAY YOU ALL HAVE A FANTASTIC SPRING!
