in pursuit of magic image

As I look out at the devastation in my yard today from the insane monsoon storm last night, it struck me how much plot twist changes are simply clearing the way for something event better. When I planted that mesquite tree out there four years ago, I had idilic hopes it would shelter my yard […]

A few years ago I had a shocking revelation: Users don’t visit Testimonial pages on websites.  When a user sees the word “Testimonials” up in the menu bar, they think to themselves, “Oh, that’s nice! People like her!” Do they click the page? No.  Do they read the testimonials? No. So it sits there. Taking […]
