I hope Sandra had a lovely birthday. This poem in her honor is sweet and well-intentioned. From an honest poetry perspective, though, I'm surprised to see you do something you very rarely do, which is use unnecessary words. If you drop "that" both times you use it, you'll get your kind message across, while making it read more smoothly.

Fun! The cake looks delishl! (Smile)...

She is plucky and funny-- and indeed her serious reflective work is in true voice and as honest and "raw" as can be...

Very nice of you to celebrate her birthday on this manner!

I will be sure to PM her my best wished!

Karenina

What a lovely tribute.

I'm a new member here and I feel so fortunate to have discovered Ms. Ludwig yesterday. And I could tell from her writing, that her words are as beautiful and pure as her soul. Happy Birthday dear Sandra Nelms-Ludwig. Have a wonderful day!

I cannot oblige you and wish Sandra a Happy Birthday - she muted me. The primary consequence of muting is that all lines of communication are severed. There is no way round it. So you'll have to wish her happy birthday from me. Kate xx

    Hmmm. I have to tell you, Katherine, that I know Sandy well and consider her one of the nicest people I have ever known. She's smart and KIND and generous as well as an exceptional educator, full of warmth and understanding and compassion. So I cannot imagine what you must have said that would cause that huge a reaction from someone whose personality is steeped in goodness and love. She'd never just mute someone without a seriously good cause.
reply by Katherine M. (k-11) on 28-Nov-2022
    I do not know, and presumably never ill. She acted without discussion or comment.
reply by the author on 28-Nov-2022
    No, that would never be the case. She is a fair, forthright woman. She doesn't play games or make waves, so if she muted you, there's a big-time reason. There's no way it was random or unprovoked. That's simply not who she is, Katherine. Sorry to be blunt, but she's my friend, and I will always stand up for my loved ones.
reply by Katherine M. (k-11) on 28-Nov-2022
    I can only repeat. I have no idea as to the reasons, she didn't discuss her intentions with me (note ill in my previous answer was a typo. Should have read 'will' - sorry, my computer is failing).
reply by the author on 28-Nov-2022
    She probably just bowed out, with class, rather than confront you. Like I said, she's gracious and not one to make waves.
reply by the author on 28-Nov-2022
    Actually, Katherine, I just looked @ your very last review of hers, and she most specifically states that she'll be muting you and why.
reply by Katherine M. (k-11) on 28-Nov-2022
    Interesting. I never saw that. Possibly comment added AFTER the muting...
reply by Katherine M. (k-11) on 28-Nov-2022
    As I said, muting severs all lines of communication. I cannot now look at any of her posts, including my reviews of them, responses etc. It's a good Catch-22 isn't it. Kate xx
