(I will also be having another spinal surgery towards the end of December, so I am hoping that putting the call out early will be a way to ensure quality posts, and new authors for my readers to fall in love with!). Whether you have your own blog or not, please consider sharing your perspective and thoughts. I am really hoping to have both personal and historical perspectives and stories.

The two special categories are:
The 12 days of Christmas Inspiration series, starting December 13th, (guest posters can only have one of the 12 days to get as many voices as possible) which will share current or past experiences where you have received or given service as a stand in for Christ. Some of them will be anonymous, because the details are important to the experience, but the author isn’t ready to have those details connected to them personally. Stories that are historical in nature, and not the personal experience of the author will be accepted, but may be used before or after the official series.

The second series will be an ongoing series, and I am hoping to start the series in January. The focus will be things people have set as goals (they don’t have to have been New Year’s Goals) and the unexpected blessings they found on their way. I am hoping to do two a week in January, and then for as long as people stay interested. (Conceivably it could go on forever. ) I just want to encourage people to not get too focused on only accomplishing their goal that they miss the extra blessings that come when we least expect them, and often those unexpected blessings actually allow us to reach our ultimate goal by a completely unexpected route.

If any Ninnies are interested in submitting their own work, or a favorite post from Keepa or their own blog for either series, please email me findingmywarsoftly at gmail. I am also always interested in original or “found” poetry, and submissions for “My Mormon Perspective” and the general “Guest Post” series.
