Red’s Wrap 2024 Mission Statement

It’s the end of 2023 and time to look forward to blogging in 2024. This will be, amazingly, the 14th year of Red’s Wrap. So now that I’ve got a little experience, it’s probably time for a mission statement for this little endeavor. The idea for this step came from a list of ways to improve one’s blog. At first, I thought it was silly, but it really isn’t.

Just like I used to tell clients, the process of thinking about a mission statement is the actual point of a mission statement. Distilling what one does and wants to do into a single sentence that can fit on a t-shirt requires considering alternatives and making choices. A mission statement centers and streamlines, adds focus and heft. Time for that after all these years, don’t you think?

Here’s my Red’s Wrap Mission Statement:

Every day, create an essay, story, or poem that will resonate, amuse, or inspire just a single person somewhere in the world.

I think this says it. A pretty worthwhile mission.
