Ok I have finally had to give in to the fact that I just cannot keep up with this blog, or any of my blogs in fact, and my real life too. I do not want to see this blog go under or get lost in the endless world of never updated blogs. This blog is very important to me and the idea and concept behind it is truly a blessing to not only myself but to the joy women and to the many of you who have stopped by to visit and leave encouraging comments.
So with that being said I am going to do something that has been on my mind for a while and I feel is the right thing to do to keep this blog going. I want to ask for your help. I am extending an invitation to any of my readers, and my joy women especially, to be a part of this blog by becoming a guest author. This door is open to anyone who is interested in diet, is knowledgeable on the subject, and is able to come at this topic from a christian point of view. I will be accepting articles, personal testimonies, links, bible verses, recipes, food reviews, devotionals, before and after photos, or anything else that you find of interest to post on this blog.
The way this will work is that if you are interested in posting something just send me an email with a copy of what you are wanting to post. If it is suitable for the blog I will post it on here on the appropriate day to keep up with the blog schedule (see right hand side) and I will give you credit and aknowledgement for your post - including a link back to your own blog. I will also contact you to let you know I've accepted your submission and an approximate date and time of when it will be posted.
I am opening this door with the confidence that you all will be able to help me revive this blog and keep it going. So from a humble heart I ask you to please help and a huge thank you in advance!
Here are the guidelines I will be going by:
1. Articles must be diet or christian related, or both.
2. Personal thoughts and devotionals must be diet related with a christian theme.
3. Personal stories and testimonies are gladly welcomed as long as they do not attack any other person or group in any way.
4. Pictures, video, graphics, clipart, or comics will be accepted as long as they are diet related, christian related, and you have sole permission (no copyright infringement) to post them.
5. Before and after pictures are great motivators, and we all want to share in your accomplishments, but please send only modest photos - fully clothed please!
6. Bible verses must be KJV. If possible please change your verse to KJV or I will do this before posting your article. Bible Gateway is an online place to find several bible versions including KJV.
7. For recipes and food reviews please send a picture of the food item with your article. Sorry but no recipes or food reviews will be accepted for the following items: pork products, gelatin (jello), or seafood like shrimp and lobster. For recipes containing these items please make substitutions if possible (example: exchange pork for chicken, bacon for turkey bacon and etc.) Thanks!
8. Your items will be posted on the appropriate day according to the blog schedule. For example if you send me a devotional I will most it on a Monday or a recipe will be posted on a Tuesday. So don't worry if your items do not show up right away, it just may not be time for it yet. If I have not contacted you or posted your item within a week please email me again - your mail may have gotten lost in my spam filters.
To contact me please send an email to: joyfuldieter@yahoo.com
Or if you know me in person (JOY women!) then please contact me at church or at home via phone or email.
I'm looking forward to reading all of your submissions. God bless!
