Yes, we accept guest posts
This is a faith-based blog site that covers a lot of different topics. One corner of this is a section sharing about Mandy’s journey with fibromyalgia. I now have two different ongoing series other Fibro Warriors can participate in.
Uplifting Interviews to Encourage
As a pain warrior, it’s easy to lose confidence in ourselves, our outlook on life, our service to others, and our relationship with God and others.
I am offering a series of interviews with chronic pain warriors. I would like us to all share and encourage one another so that we can “all patiently endure as we suffer.” (2 Corinthians 1:6) And then, though “we were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it.”
My verse is Psalm 27:13, “Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.” I’m going to start looking for all the goodness of God so that He will make me confident in Him.
How about you? How do you see/feel the goodness of God even in the midst of your pain? Two options here:
- Do an interview sharing about your Chronic Life. I’ll send you a link with questions to answer.
- Select a verse that encourages you in this moment of your life and write a verse study of that verse.
- Contact me at mandy@mandyandmichele with GUEST POST in the subject and we will get started.
All About Chronic Pain
These posts are written in letter form discussing different aspects of dealing with the disease.
Write a letter (300-500 words) specifically to friends and family to help them understand what you are going through or about “what to expect during a specific procedure you have endured.” Read some of “letters” here.
Each post answers one specific question a friend might ask. If this sounds like something you would like to do, contact us through the contact form below. Indicate the topic you prefer to write about.
For 2023 I’m looking for guest posts with the following themes. You may choose the month you would like to contribute.

Specific Guidelines
- Write your submission as a letter to a friend/family answering the chosen question.
- This is a faith-based blog. Please, no cuss words or derogatory speech.
- Word Count at least 300-500 words, but up to 1000. Since fibro warriors usually have issues with brain fog and stamina. I don’t expect letters to be lengthy; however, longer is acceptable.
- Your submission must be original; meaning it hasn’t been published anywhere else. Possibly, you wrote about this topic but can write a letter that shares some of the information. I do not mind if you include one link back referring to your own blog post.
- I welcome “personal images only” that you would like to use. Any other images must include a credit source.
- I will include any social media links that you have, plus your blog URL.
- Submissions will be due at least two weeks before the agreed-upon publishing date in Word, Google Docs, or submitted below.
- We will add you as a contributor to my WordPress blog so that you will get notified about comments. I would love for you to reply to the comments.
- Send your submission to mandy@mandyandmichele.com or in the form below. Be sure to put GUEST POST [topic} in the subject line.
