Thank you everyone, for your kind words! It is greatly appreciated and sure brought a smile to my face!
I have decided that I am going to return to KC soon and try again before I just give up on it completely! I'm not sure what dates yet, but will be sure to post them in the appropriate forum when I know.
As for my Colorado trip, I am pretty certain it will go well, as most who have scheduled with me already sent me a deposit to hold their time. I'm wondering if this is a practice I'll have to continue in the future for all cities, as it seems to discourage those who aren't serious or don't care about wasting my time... but seeing how most of my kc appointments were booked with regulars I foolishly assumed there would be no issues with nc/ns.
I'd like to thank those who inquired with me about scheduling after I made my original post. Unfortunately, by that time, I was already packed, getting ready to check out, and had made my mind up I was leaving. Hopefully we can make a connection in the future, though! A lot of people said they weren't aware I was in town, but I actually started advertising my trip clear back in April, so I'm not sure what more I could have done! lol
As for other girls offering lower rates, well, I had a special running as well that was quite reasonable for the services I provide. Naturally, there were those who tried to call and get me to accept less than what I was comfortable with and they seemed offended that I didn't just jump right on it. Just because my trip didn't go according to plan that doesn't mean that I should be expected to conform to something that I feel is not reasonable for my time. I was disappointed in my trip, but by no means desperate, and I felt insulted by their "offers". (you know who you are!)
On a final note, COG ~ I would have loved to have dinner with you! You should have called! Once again, all your fault! lol
Sweet kisses,
Staci
