I’m not sharing this to brag…
Sometimes the strangest things happen out of nowhere.
And sometimes they are wonderful blessings.

Here’s what happened to me this weekend.

Early last week I posted a kitchen photo on Facebook that I had originally pinned to my Inspired Kitchens Board on Pinterest. At the time I pinned it, I thought it was a worthy share.  So… one evening I shared it.  A few days later, I noticed that it was getting a lot of attention. And my Facebook page was getting more fans. The numbers kept going up.  There’s this ‘thing’ called reach.  Essentially it’s a number that represents the number of people who are getting that particular Facebook post in their feed.  At first I was seeing 100k, then 500k, then 1 MILLION, and then 2m, and tonight, I think it might have plateaued at 4.2 million with a whole bunch of new fans.

It’s a wonderful blessing. It’s been fun.
And at the same time, it left me feeling like I needed to “do” something about it.
But, I have no idea what I should have done.
Here’s a second shot of the kitchen which I shared later…
but you’ll want to visit my Facebook page to see the initial image which ended up being shared
more than 44,000 times and rousing some strong sentiments.
It’s kind of like a big party… so feel free to join in and comment and share.

    Thanks so much for the party Diane! That is crazy about your photo going viral! Kinda scary though!

  2. What a week, Diane! I am in awe!

    About the most creative thing I did this week was repair my puppy-chewed pair of dollar store flip flops with duct tape! *lol*

    • Some weeks are just like that! Good thing duct tape was on hand. 😉
      I do have to say that I am feeling so very blessed. That’s a blessing money cannot buy. God is so good!
      LuAnn… It’s such a treat to see you today! Thanks for popping by and saying ‘Hi!”
      Hope your summer has been wonderful and your garden overflowing. [hugs]

  3. Hello gorgeous! Thank you so much for hosting such a fabulous party! Please take a minute and stop by our party. We would love to party with you twice this week! Lou Lou Girls
