    Question. Do we chose yes for pre approved monthly submission? How do we indicate that the submission is for the blog roll call? Also I noticed my name isn’t next to 34 but it looks like it was accepted?

    1. The Wellness Universe Post author

      Hi @nadiakim thank you for catching that! No you are not doing a monthly submission, these are ‘one offs’. You don’t need to indicate it was from this list upon submission. Thank you – good questions!
