Aigner, I am humbled and appreciative about the working and personal bond we have. You have become a virtual mentor for me and I am snap happy about it (yay me).
In re: to followers, I participated in a masterclass last year that encouraged people to do the follow for follow method. It never felt quite right for me so of course I didn't continue to do it. I too am more interested in authentic engagement and interesting content. I now only follow writers whose content interest me and those are the kind of followers I want. In regards to unfollowing people, the masterclass also instructs people to later go back and unfollow people who don't reciprocate. That being so I'm sure over time I'll automatically have a great falling away, lol!
Thanks for giving me a shout out. It means a lot to me to know I have written stories you have found interesting.
Much Love & Peace,
CarlaDee
