In the next 31 Days, I am writing 31 36 guest blog posts across the Internet. I think I’m gonna need more coffee. A lot more coffee.
Each day’s blog post (in some cases there are two in a single day) are linked on the Google calendar below. Click the title and then click the link for “read this post”. A list of all guest blogs is available at the end of this post.
A few years ago I made a deal with myself. I guess it was less of a deal and more of a call to action. I decided that in order to keep learning and growing I needed to challenge myself on a regular basis to go above and beyond in ways that aren’t always comfortable.
In March I gave up soda. In April John & I did the food challenge. This month the challenge isn’t so much of a challenge as it is stretching beyond myself and looking for new ways to reach out. One of the pitfalls of having a regular and devoted readership (and I love you all) is that often you are preaching to the choir on sensitive issues. That’s why in the month of May I am devoting myself to writing a guest post for a different website each day of the month.
The blog hosts will run the gamut from gardening to food, activism to the environment but they will each have one day off this month as I do their job. I’m in the process of putting together the editorial calendar now, but half of the slots are already booked and I look forward to sharing these great websites with you each day while I share a little of my heart and soul with new friends. Each guest post will be linked from here so that you can visit as well.
What do I hope to accomplish with this? The short answer is that I want to touch people. I want to reach out to readers who have never visited this blog, may have never read my book or even heard of me. I want to share my passions and hopefully make people see just why I love what I do so much.
If you would like to have me write a guest blog for your website during the “Around the Blog in 31 Days”, please leave a comment on this post and I will get back to you. Please remember that there are a limited number of slots available for this event.

I would be greatly honored to have you do a guest post for my blog.
That would be so much fun. I have heard so much, all good of course, about you.
Chris: you’ve got mail.
Thanks, Kristin!
Michael! Please share your awesomeness with Pennsylvania! I can repay with a shipment of whoopie pies! Or… I can ramble on for your site one day if you’d like. I’m currently working on a treatise about bio-dynamic child-rearing in the garden??? Interested? Grin. Xo. L
WHOOPIE PIES? SCORE! Damn I miss PA sometimes. We need to come up there to visit so I can get me some Wawa sandwiches. Emailing you now.
ROCK ON… would love to have you be the FIRST to grace my BGgarden webpage! Do you want to barter something? I can send you some seeds or some can goods from my stash?
No barter required, but if you’re wanting to send canned goods I am NOT going to say no! Email me and we’ll set a date. It will be my honor to post on your site, Bren.
Hi Mike swing on by would love to share with you Annie
drop me an email and we’ll get a date set.
Hi Michael! I’m so excited to have you on my blog May 2nd! What an awesome way to share with the world! Its a fun piece, ppl wil LOVE IT!
Hi Michael,
Just got your book, I Garden: Urban Style for review. I’m looking forward to saying some nice things about it in my first issue of Greenwoman Magazine (coming in June). While my blog is a little different, it’s a chronicle about starting a garden writing magazine, I’d love to have you as a guest blogger. Thanks for considering it.

Michael, I’d be honored if you wrote a post for Our Little Acre! This is a great way to share your message with many more people!
email on the way this evening.
email coming your way my friend!
I love this idea. It is definitely a great way to reach out! Reading the ones already up and looking forward to reading the rest. :D
Hi Michael. I just recently started a garden blog that would love a celebrity touch! A guest post from you would be amazing!
Hardly a celebrity, but I appreciate the sentiment. Unfortunately I overbooked for 35 blogs posts this month and I have commitments that mean I won’t be able to add any additional but that’s not to say I wouldn’t be happy to guest blog for you in the future.
