This is cool for Liz. I was mystified when she dug very deeply into my porfolio and found things I'd even forgotten about writing and reviewed them. Wow. So I'm not the exception. It sound like she has got a great publisher. I wish I knew how to do that. Thanks for sharing the wonderful birthday poem for Liz and the reh rest of us.

Me too, Beth. I want to do a couple books with my books of poetry, but I don't even know where to start. I did purchase the book of how to publish on Amazon. Just haven't had time to read it. So many say I should do one on all the tributes, but can you imagine how many permissions I would need as it could get tricky.
Thanks for all the very kind comments for my poem for Liz. I hope she is reading them too. I will go remind her.

So many people she has reviewed out of their portfolios and it is such a sweet thing to do. Just like how sweet you have always been. Thanks for always being that person too. Lotsa Love, Debi

I don't know, Liz O Neill, so I really appreciate the introduction. Wow, she has done so much in the advocacy and social field. I worked in the same kind of work. Well done, Debi, another winner.

Plus, I found out that she was a nun. Wow, is 77 years long enough to do all these things? What a woman! And you too, for all that you have done are another woman that amazes me. I admire you for your contribution to helping others. I also appreciate you so much!

Thanks for all the kind words for Liz's poem, Gypsy. I know Liz appreciates it too. Lotsa love to one of my dearest friends. Debi

Wow, she certainly does seem to have had quite a life. I will definitely have to check out some of her writing, it's exciting to hear about her deal with Simon & Schuster. An excellent piece Debi.

What a marvelous tribute to a wonderful FS friend... She must be smiling from ear to ear while reading every word. Her talent in writing and reaching out to others through out her entire life deserves a lifetime trophy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIZ!

Nice artwork and presentation, Debi. A very nice tribute for Liz's birthday with effective imagery and rhyme. A good job with the connection of her birthday and "77 Sunset Strip." She adds a lot to our community by going the extra mile to review works that aren't promoted. I sounds like she is doing very well with her writing and those are amazing accomplishments.

Have a very Happy Birthday, Liz, and good luck with the publishing. That is an amazing accomplishment.

Wow - such a lovely tribute a fellow FanStorian. I was gone from the site for several years, and I didn't realize how much I missed the loving and supportive folks here. (I've been writing and editing by myself - yuck.)

Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem,

Hi Patty, welcome back. You are right, as the people here are truly special and it is like one big second family. I just looked and your birthday is ten days after mine. I think that qualifies us to become very good friends. (Smile)

I sure appreciate all your kind words for Liz's poem, just as I know she will. She really is a remarkable woman.

Thank you so very much, my friend.
Love, Debi

Hi Debbie! Yes, with our birthdays so close together AND we are both Scorpios, we should truly be friends. See you on the boards, ~patty~

reply by the author on 01-Mar-2024

LOL, Ooops, mine is a Libra but I get along great with Scorpios. Haha!

Happy Birthday, Liz. I love you although I didn't know you are 77. You have the mind of a 27 year old.

Thanks for another great share, Debi. Liz has been such a loyal reviewer to me.

Blessings.

You provide lots of information in this poem, about Liz O Neill. She has accomplished so much in just 77 years...all occupations where she is helping people.

Each of your verses is smoothly written, easily rhymed, and provides a different aspect of Liz's life. I enjoyed reading about Liz, and enjoyed reading your poem.

To Liz I say, Happy Birthday, and I wish you much success with the publication of your books.

Lorraine, you are so sweet, as always. Thank you for your very kind comments about her poem. You have no idea how much that means to me.

Liz will also enjoy all the wonderful well wishes she is getting.
Thank you again from the both of us, our wonderful friend.

I don't know if the third video was in yet when you read it, and you are maybe too young to remember this, as I barely do, but I added the song, "Kooky, Kooky, Lend me your comb"
Love, Debi

Oh my gosh...I will be 80 this year. Yes, I remember Kooky very well. He was quite the heartthrob way back in the day. :-)
