Mind Body Mama: Contest!
I hear that contests are all the rage in the blogosphere. So I'm going to run one here, just like the cool kids.
Here's the sitch: to go forth on the internet and promote this little blog, I need to define it in three words. For example, if I was describing my colleague Joanne Factor's blog I might say:
Safety in Seattle News (women's self defense; media analysis; feminism)
How would you describe what I'm doing here, gentle readers? If you wanted to recommend it to a friend, how would you tell her what it's about?
I feel pretty deep in it and I've got a case of "I know it when I see it." But marketing depends on being able to define your product. Can you help?
To enter the contest--just post a comment with your three suggested descriptors.
Since I don't have the headache of dealing with hundreds of publicists contacting me to hawk their wares (and won't that be an interesting day), I don't actually have a prize for anybody. But if I end up using your list, I might buy you a cup of Pierce Bros coffee* at the co-hop.
If you're too far away from me--go to your own co-hop and buy yourself a coffee. But be sure to feel my love and gratitude.
*Pierce Bros coffee doesn't give me anything to mention them repeatedly in this blog. I do it because they roast the only coffee worth drinking: fair-trade, organic, local to me, air-roasted. They did donate a pound of coffee to my last professional event, but I think that's because I frightened them when I called the marketing department like a crazed stalker fan.

how about: Crazed-stalker fan of life?
I'll keep thinking.
three words is so tricky - how about three-word phrases?
empowering mama philosohy
open-hearted reflection
wickedly snarky insight
love jenn
Excellent suggestions so far! I think "snarky" has to be in there somewhere.
Hmmmm....three phrases, that is tough!
I think your blog is about these things:
feminism
parenting / family
life in a small town
LGBT issues
writing
self-defense
fitness
community
That's 8. But they can be combined! By someone more clever than I.

But you ALREADY have it described in three words: mind, body, mama
Right? I can smell the coffee already...
Kara, I wish you lived close enough to come have coffee at the co-op with me!
