We Have a Mission!

BlogPaws inspired and energized us in so many ways (more about that in future posts), and we returned home with the desire to improve our blog and think about what we want to accomplish with The World According to Garth Riley.    

We started this blog almost two years ago with one simple goal: to make people smile.  That's still one of our primary goals, but there's so much more that we want to do.  So we have developed a statement of our mission, to articulate our purpose and inform our readers and sponsors about what we do and what we stand for. 

(We realize that our mission statement doesn't follow the generally accepted format for mission statements.  It's too long and includes our vision as well as our mission.  But bellyrubs and fetch are way more fun than strategic planning.)


Making people smile is still a core mission

  1. Our Mom has watched The Blues Brothers movie more times than ANYONE can count, and so immediately said, "We're on a mission from gawd." We have No Idea what she's talking about, but we've read through your mission statement, and find it quite admirable! Mom would have to blog for us WAY MORE than she does for us to accomplish any of those things (other than making people smile, possibly), but you are a super-hero and we look forward to the Mission-Oriented World of Garth!
