Weekly Karmic Love Scopes and those who feel I am 'disrespecting' them

It's a very sad state of affairs that I must write a blog about such a silly topic - seriously, I have much more constructive things to spend my time on, but I feel a need to set the record straight so that I may (hopefully) avoid being attacked, threatened, and basically 'disrespected' by my own site visitors in the future!

My websites are a labor of love. My offering the Karmic Scopes for the past 2 years has been a labor of love, one in which has cost me emotionally, energetically, and financially at times. I am NOT A CORPORATION! I am for the most part a one woman show - the entire site including the writing, the horoscopes, the site updates, customer service, rituals, calendars, articles...all of it are the work of me, myself, and I. I have one person who updates the weekly scopes and tarot when I can afford to pay her. It is a tremendous labor particularly in addition to my actual paid work, my clients, my family, my other sites, and my health. I do not have on the weekly scopes or tarot - "Guaranteed free weekly scopes (or tarot)". I have never misrepresented that I will, come rain, shine, hell, or highwater that I will do the horoscopes each and every week. Sometimes I simply can't, physically, mentally, or otherwise! My work can be extremely draining, especially with my neck/spinal injury due to the car accident I was in May 2005...sometimes I am unable to regenerate and focus enough to accomplish all my paid work and the free work. Of course my paid clients must be put first - business is business! Though I have actually been attacked for doing this! LOL See why I feel I must discuss this here publicly? I am 100% certain that if you were my client and I was failing in energy and needed to cut back on something that you would not want it to be your own reading, that you paid me for and trusted me to accomplish on time.

Those of you who know me, have been my clients, have came to the site for the past 8 years know that I do my very best - that I love my work, my clients, and my visitors (whether they ever pay a dime or not). Yet over the years I have been personally attacked by site visitors who become disgruntled if I made a mistake or error on the hundreds of pages of Through Night's Fire or fail to continue offering a service, free or otherwise.

Let me make this clear...I do not welcome threatening emails, emails tearing into me about me 'disrespecting' my visitors by failing to do the free scopes every week, or any other rude or ignorant complaint. I don't take kindly to being called names or threatening language - implied or direct. I DO welcome constructive feedback and having my visitors letting me know when I make errors on the pages. There is a difference between being helpful and being downright mean. I do not need or welcome unsolicited business advice by those who know absolutely nothing about my business or my life. I will not tolerate being treated unfairly, rudely, threatened, or attacked.

Having said all that, the majority of my visitors are lovely, evolved, and loving people who genuinely enjoy and appreciate the site and who get to know me over the years. I am here to be of service but I am not here to be trampled or enslaved. The wise reader/server of humanity knows instinctively that to be of any use to others that they must first take care of themselves. When I am unable to do any of the free services (or even the paid ones!) on the site, it is because I MUST take care of myself or be useless to anyone. It is unfortunate that some do not understand - or CARE - that I am also human and must regenerate. I work hard but when I must rest, I must. That is the nature of my life, the nature of my own astrological chart (which can be found posted on the site).

Regarding the Weekly Karmic Scopes, I have, in the past, asked for donations to help keep them going (it would be nice to at least be able to have enough donations to pay the lady who does the updates for me) and out of 3500 - 5000 visitors I have at the weekend to those pages guess how many donated anything? If you guessed ZERO you certainly win the kewpie doll. Now I am putting up the donation button again. This is my last attempt to keep the Weekly Karmic Love Scopes alive and Free. If no one chooses to donate (and the visitors can choose any amount!) then that will tell me that the scopes aren't all that valuable or appreciated (despite the web traffic to the pages). I will revisit this again in 1 month and at that time determine whether it is worth it for me to continue to offer them...I may elect to go to a paid service or just drop them from my weekly task list. It is now up to you, my visitors, to decide whether you value this service enough to occasionally toss a buck in the kitty to keep it going or not!

With love, light, and blessings,

Dena
