Speaking of #MYOL, the first round of my social media course ends today. I’m sad to say goodbye to all of these wonderful participants! But the course has gone so well that I’m planning to offer it again during the next few months. If you’re interested in details, sign up to have me notify you when enrollment opens.

Enjoy your weekend!
