SOBCon Bad Poetry: Ode to Troy Worman

April 21, 2007 by Liz Leave a Comment

For Troy of the 23 Blog Designs a Day

Sofitel Chicago Ohare

In a hotel, northeast of Wendy’s usual location,
on May 11-12, you’ll be finding Troy Worman in Orbit around a another new blogging creation.

These days, I wonder whether Orbit man, Troy Worman, somehow cast a spell on five folks to get SOBCon to start.
Could be that he wanted a chance to meet Ann Michael and Steve Farber at an event that was built from both head and heart?

Orbit Man, did you secretly plan SOBCon to have somewhere to link?
Orbit Man, your power, your glory, your constant design changes make flowers stand tall and weeds shrink.

A ways east of where David Armano lives is the hotel where bloggers will descend.
That the Wor-man has decreed loudly about the 10 Reasons to Attend

Then you point to the Phil Gerbyshak on SOBcon at Essential Keystrokes interview
Char and so many others know link love is always coming from just about everything you do.

Orbit Man, did you secretly plan SOBCon to have somewhere to link?
Orbit Man, your power, your glory, your constant design changes make bloggers smile, investigate, and think.

So I write this bad poetry to you, Mr. Worman, Orbit Now! Man.
I’ve made it a mission. I gave myself permission. I’ve made up my mind.
I’m going to meet the guy, who is so generous, because I need to know
if he changes his clothes as often as he changes his blog design.

Thanks, Troy, for everything.

–ME “Liz” Strauss
SOBCon 07 It’s incredible. Are you coming?

December Blogtipping Positivity!

December 1, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

Link Love for Making Things Brighter

blogtipping icon 1

Today I’m celebrating official Blogtipping Day. How about you? As the song goes “Give a little bit . . .” Here’s how it works.

  • Choose three bloggers you admire and link to them.
  • List three reasons why you admire each one.
  • Then add a tip at the end.

That’s all there is to it.

Phil Gerbyshak

  • When it comes to positivity, Phil, you are the REAL THING. No question.
  • On and off your blog, Make It Great! you take genuine pleasure in the success of others. You’re not shy about saying so.
  • I’ve read your entire blog. Your ideas are compelling. You write well and with passion. You are one in a million.

Tip: Keep some of that energy just for Phil. Don’t ever forget that folks who know you are with for the long haul.

Dr. Kirsten Harrell, Psy. D.

  • The Think Positive Blog is popping with energy. I feel it as soon as I click in there.
  • Kirsten, you are the same way. It comes through in every blog post you write and in all of your ipopin affirmations.
  • You’ve brought a bundle of positive insights to discussions throughout the blogosphere. I always look forward to your comments when you visit here.

Tip: You have so much to offer. My only tip is that we want more.

Troy Worman

  • Anyone who’s been to Orbit Now knows that it’s a positively amazing place. It’s always changing in a way that makes me look forward to going there for a fresh new outlook. I find myself re-reading nuggets of wisdom, just to stay a little longer.
  • Troy, you have a positive world view that is creative, clever, and contagious. And interwoven through that is a quite dose of compassion.
  • You and your blog are a category of one. It’s a category worth keeping.

Tip: I think your “I want to be your mentor idea” is fabulous. Please ask for help if you need to find people to sign up.

Thanks to all three of you for bringing positivity to the blogosphere. I’m smiling just to think of the contribution you make.

–Me “Liz” Strauss
