Happy Birthday, Joni! You have created something wonderful here with Wow. You have given us all a voice! Thank you for including me in this wonderful site, and for your kindness. I am so happy I met you and am proud to say I know you!
Have a wonderful day! Keep laughing, something you are very, very good at (on top of everything else!).

ODE TO JONI
To Joni, one of wOw’s driving forces
You make us all work as hard as horses
You think up things you want us to do
And sometimes, I know, I disappoint you
When I can’t always do what you want me to
Well, at least, other wOw women always come through
But, wait, I’ve just reread
The verse above
All I wanted to send
Was my undying love
For my self-focused guilt, I’m apologetic
As I finish this verse, I already regret it
Just one more thing, Joni, hope you will edit
All I meant to say
Is Happy Birthday
To me you can do no wrong
Though I know it won’t be long
‘Cause you are our “with it” leader
That you’ll turn me into a Tweeter
You’re worth a trillion gazillon
I only wish
At a time like this
I could make words rhyme
Like Calvin Trillin
Or had the panache of an Ogden Nash
These words aren’t so funny
I should have sent money
But Madoff ran off with my cash
-Jane
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all,
there is only the meaning we each give to our life,
an individual meaning, an individual plot,
like an individual novel, a book for each person. - Anais Nin
Happy Birthday to you, novel woman. May all your plot lines gracefully merge.
Joni,
I stopped by to wish you a very happy birthday, and for some reason it didn’t show up.
Thank you for all you do, and thank you for the WoW site! It feels wonderful to have a special place like this for women. What an outstanding idea.
I pray this is a birthday which you will remember for many years to come. Since you have touched so many lives, I hope in some little way we are able to show our appreciation for the difference you have made in the world.
Warm Regards,
Ro
