Just a quick reminder for all. X is just a name change. It's still Twitter. We have all the same features today that we had yesterday. I'm not going to rush to change all my marketing and articles to X. But I'll still be here.
What are your thoughts on this big change to X?
@TwitterSupport
Twitter Moments aren’t being used often because most people don’t know about it. Moments is a great feature. Please don’t give up on it.
My Dad, an incredibly amazing 84 year old man, passed away today. He went peacefully with his beautiful wife of 61 years by his side as well as his kids and grandchildren. ❤️
I've been asked repeatedly if I will be changing

to
#XSmarter
. The answer is no. I'm not too fond of naming anything with X. I think I'll be a rebel and keep calling it

You may not know this, but I have 25 tattoos. This is
#25
that was done earlier this year. It's been by far my biggest tattoo project. This week I'm starting the next one on the same arm. It's going to be amazing and I can't wait to share it with you! So stay tuned...
Today I got to meet one of my favorite Twitter friends,
@GeorgeSilverman
. We had a great visit and so much fun taking selfies and making videos for some of our mutual Twitter friends. He was wow’d by my many tattoos, as you can see in the photo. ☺️
Holy cow, I'm about to hit 100K Twitter followers!! I think we should have a party when I hit the milestone this week. How about a Twitter Spaces chat where I talk about my growth strategies?
I just figured out how to add up to 4 GIFs to a tweet. Pretty nifty, right? Click the ❤️ if you agree.
Want to learn how to do this? Shoot me a DM. I'm putting together a "how-to" video tomorrow (Tues) and you'll be the first to get it.
