Here on the Porch we love rocking social media on behalf of our clients. Each platform has a slightly different tone, tenor and audience – and we enjoy the nuances of each and every one. Instagram is a light, happy platform that can tolerate a touch of irreverence, and truth be told, it’s my favorite.
Around here my colleagues playfully call me “Queen of Words,” and so it should come of no surprise to anyone that my personal feed is filled with wordy quotes. Inspirational quotes such as, “Surround yourself with people that force you to level up.” Quotes that speak to me, like “Be a good person but never waste your time proving it.” And funny, just-my-personality quotes like, “Sometimes things are just best said with an eye roll.”
I. Love. Quotes. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving and gratitude, I share with you my 10 favorite Instagram quotes about gratitude:
