Back to Reality

Ok. So I have been on vacation. I spent two weeks in New Zealand with my family. And it was fabulous. For the first week I pre-wrote all of my blog posts so I didn't miss a day. For the second week I was just on vacation. Sorry but sometimes a girl has got to take some time off. (And thanks for all of your emails wondering "where "in the heck" were my blog posts?")

So I am back. And trying to get caught up. As you all know, it's hard to take vacation when you own your own business. There is nobody back in the office to take over while you are gone. There is also no one that can finish your paintings. So stuff piles up. In a really big way!

I did hit a big milestone while I was in New Zealand. My Instagram account @my100yearoldhome surpassed 10,000 followers. That was a really big goal for me and I am thrilled I reached it! But please understand, I worked really hard to reach this goal. 

Speaking of Instagram, this week's AHA show is going to be about some new things happening with Instagram. There's a lot of talk about Shadow Banning and if you don't know what it is then you had better listen to the show. Because I can bet that many of you have accounts that have been "shadow banned" by Instagram and you don't even know it. There is also a really cool app you can use called linktr.ee. It's a great solution for a common Instagram problem that you are going to want to know about.

It's good to be back. I am not home for long as next week I am teaching a Marketing Boot Camp in Atlanta, GA! I cannot wait!!!
