Pick a category

At lunch with a friend, we considered marketing.  I have not been a good self-promoter.  My excuse is introversion and Minnesota and all.  My sister is much better at this... but she is an extrovert (still from Minnesota) but an extrovert.  Me?  I would like to cram everything into one piece, mail it out, be done with it, and wait.  No.  No.  No.  One category at a time.  Then another.  Then another.  Pick a category.

Pick a category,
Any category.
Make a sign, a poster,
An email blast,
A Facebook page,
Even a tri-fold brochure.
Post a card
In the local supermarket,
Or on a telephone pole,
If you can find one
Unburied.
Pick a category.
Advertise that you are available:
To fix a roof,
Clean a house,
Bless a bicycle or turtle or boat,
Stand behind an altar,
Sit in a chair and listen
With special ears.
Pick a category,
One category.
Offer your simple availability
To God and everyone.

Then
Do it again.
