What a great post, J.T. ~ Love it! ♥️That made me think––and this is a totally different subject—why do such wonderful posts like yours don't get hundreds of likes, and some rather dull ones gather thousands? I think I will never figure out the whole Substack/Social Media platforms. ☺️

And yes, Ireland is such a wonderful place. And you and your friend looked so happy. Very sweet! I'm happy you had a fabulous time.🤗🤗🩷

Olivia, A - thank you. What a sweet thing to say. B - that is the mystery of all of this. Obviously, the STATS are doing well, and I'm growing, which is the goal! There are lots of opens and reach. But turning reach into engagement? That has always been a struggle. I'm all ears if anyone has an idea of how to make that magically happen! : )

Yep, turning reach into engagement is a bit of a mystery. I believe it's more than inspiring content and persistence. And I wish I had a bit more insight. 😊

Ireland is such a DREAM. My husband had to talk me out of a four leaf clover tattoo while staying at Ashford Castle. Good thing bc apparently there is no such thing and the three leaf is considered lucky there. Or so says our Irish friend. Your trip looked incredible!

Oh, I loved the Ashford castle. Did you have high tea? It was lovely.

I would say that falls under we make our own luck, yeah??? I for one would have fully stood behind that decision :)
