@memcnally @IanMAdair FYI

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

For-profits biz rolling into broader purpose is promising. #Nonprofits have been managing a "multiplicity of metrics" since inception. They have lessons to share. (Be sure to have a compelling purpose statement.)

I'm personally wildly enthusiastic about adverbs. And...this article has great advice on why (lots of times) you may want to edit them out. Good stuff on #writing concisely!

When people say, "It can't be done" to something that seems impossible, point them to this story. It may not be easy, but much is possible with conviction, focus, and courage backing it.

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

Thx to the @loom customer service rep who resolved an issue for me & then said: "I will be attentive to response...in case you have any extra Qs or inquiries."

"Attentive to". Makes me feel special. Seen.

Small tweaks to common phrasing can make a big difference!

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

@IanMAdair @ClaxonMarketing Wow, thanks for the kind words, @IanMAdair & for spreading the word about the Wordifier!

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

@PriyaDSaxena Thank you, Priya! Glad it's back!! (And hi, btw.)

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who let us know that the Wordifier wasn't working. It's back up! Now you can pinpoint a word to get maximum impact from whatever you're writing.

@IanMAdair VERY important! And pretty darn simple to do.

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

@levinsarae @copyblogger @NonprofitAF Yes! The serial (or Oxford) comma is where it's at.

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

"A comma is the brave little toaster of the punctuation family. Stalwart, unassuming, and essential. It’s a tiny, useful piece of punctuation that 2/3 of the internet has apparently forgotten how to use." Yes, @copyblogger, yes!

@NonprofitAF Right? : )

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

"90% of Americans want universal background checks." We are divided on so many fronts, but we are united on this. Thx @IanMAdair for sharing this. #GunSafetyNow

[Ian M. Adair @IanMAdair]

Steve Kerr lost his father to gun violence in 1984. This is coming from a very real place. Please listen. Then share. Then act! #GunSafetyNow

To anyone saying "just breastfeed more" as a solution to the baby formula shortage: stop. #Breastfeeding is complicated & "just make more" isn't an option for all mums. It wasn't for me. These mums are already stressed out enough. Support them. Don't shame them. Thank you.

[Erica Mills Barnhart @EricaMillsBarn]

This. We all need this. Today. And probably every day wouldn't hurt. Thanks, @IanMAdair, for sharing and @chrishemsworth for being so flipping hilarious and motivational!

[Ian M. Adair @IanMAdair]

I have my biggest event ever in my organization history tomorrow, so a friend sent me this as motivation. Trust me you need to see this! | The Chris Hemsworth Video You Need | Netflix https://t.co/HpDCQ6ASiN via @YouTube #GoodVibes #YouGotThis
