{{{Elsa}}}
Listen, I remember some of your early writings on Xanga. It astounds me, given the amount of astrology writing out there in 2009, that you are still being subjected to this.

But on the other hand, my life is very similar. lol
Like you, I know, when I’m gone there will be a void. Not that I care but nobody will be able to just accept me as myself until it’s too late. I call that the tragedy of humanity.

Still, it can be soul crushing when it happens, especially during a bad time or out of the blue.

Thank you so much for still writing. When I looked you up a few months back I was excited to see your new blog and site. You help people on a level pretty well unheard of unless they see a therapist regularly It’s serious life stuff, and sometimes death and grieving stuff.

Anyway, from me, a big thank you. I would buy you lunch if I ever had the pleasure of meeting you

hey elsa, if you wanted to have lunch in nj, there are some incredible indian restaurants. my treat.

Elsa, I think you have a great site and I rarely write to you about anything! I bet there are many like me. Just so you know.

My God! I have just read my last entry. It sounds as cold as ice! Thoughts were gold - words were sadly silver plated!

Same here Elsa, if you’re ever in Amsterdam, I am happy to take you out for lunch!!

I understand what happens though, if you are referring to people getting impatient (?). What happens is YOU are in the organic process of telling a story - the audience is not (listening is not an organic creative act), and just has to wait what you come up with. Imagine you’re staging a play: one minute there is a lot of action going on on stage, the next everyone has disappeared. The audience thinks: where the hell have they all gone? What is going on? Is anything going on? Maybe she stood us up? You, as the director of the play know things are brewing but the audience, and especially an inexperienced audience does not! Then, the play resumes and everyone is impressed! Standing ovation!

The organic way you write asks a lot of trust and patience from the people reading. It’s not a show where you get half an hour of entertainment a day; it’s a show where it just depends….on how the process goes. That’s not a bad thing (at all), but it is demanding. We get like little kids who want the next chapter read NOW.

If you’d want to circumvent the problem (I don’t know if you do), you could work ahead like you do with the daily forecasts. You still have the organic process on your end, but it’s not ‘live’ on our end and will be less interfered with by the audience.

But you do earn and deserve trust Elsa, you really do. I hope people will be kind, and let you be.

(and if my analysis (virgo :-)) is off, please ignore.)

Elsa, my thoughts are with you. I relate to so much of what you are saying. I have mercury in the 9th house, and sun/venus/mars in the 10th house. So my ideas are very important to me, and I feel I deserve a bit of recognition in my life.

So far, not much. I have Venus square Neptune, so I don’t know if people expect me to be one way, and I turn out another or what.

I want to be a writer. I will die spiritually if I do not become a professional writer. While I have had some encouraging people support me along the way, I have met a whole crapload of people who either don’t understand what I’m trying to do, or they have no respect for it. But those rare times when I do get recognition and sincere praise, it just reminds me of how great the rewards are when hard work does pay off.

My husband and I have been talking a lot lately. If we had never been misunderstood or treated like crap, we might have a cushy life–but what kind of life would that be? People who have to work harder to get their message out will ultimately become far more successful and respected than those who had everything come easy.

I just had a setback in my career, but already I’m thinking of ways I can rise above and become better and show up the people who are too blind to believe in me. They don’t like me. Their loss. Period. Hard work and dedication to what you do makes you special, Elsa.

I recently referred someone in my family to your website as a positive example of how to run a successful blog/website/business. I told her “this woman is amazing and creative!”.

Maybe you’ve had to live with Neptune’s fog, but I think that fog has already lifted. The proof is the people who do listen to you and respect you on this blog. Someday it will lift completely and you will be appreciated 100% for what you are and for how you give back to people.

We’re rooting for you! We love your organic storytelling!

PS I would totally invite you to this little Italian bistro around the corner!

I love your stories, and I hope that someday you do another astrology class because I want to see into your mind a little better. You are clearly someone who really thinks about things and that is rare.
