Wow, a nice surprise

I'm thinking about how to fold wellspringofcompassion.com into my main site, and I tested the link to the book's Amazon page. Wow, people have said the nicest things! Totally made my evening.

Unlike looking at my business's Yelp page a little while back, where I found someone who had rudely interrupted a dance evening at my house (nothing do to with my business), left a 1-star review because I didn't drop everything to help her... I don't even know, leave a note at my neighbor's house or something. Back in 2014. So I went through Yelp's process to contest a review, and to my surprise they did take it down. So that ended well, too.

Anyway, finding surprise positive reviews, yay!

Yep, I've found Yelp is pretty reliable about taking down reviews from people who make it obvious in the review that they never patronized the business in question. For example, I successfully flagged a review of the Pigeon Point hostel that basically said, "I never stayed at this hostel, but in the parking lot for a public beach nearby it that's not part of the hostel, I saw a guy changing clothes outside his car, and that made me feel ways."

Yay for unlooked for loveliness.
