Some days are more special than others. Today is one of those. My colleague and new friend, Bernd Nurnberger, awarded me the Special Barnstar award for being the first only ever person in the world to make a comment on his new blog!

Thank you, Bernd. What an honor. A true, honest-to-goodness Wikipedia Barnstar award. Yay!

Bernd ensured that this day began on an extra happy note for me. I encourage you to visit his blog and subscribe to it. Take time to read “Three obstacles to learning.” Powerful.

He is very, very savvy in the worlds of marketing, analysis, and communication. And he often rides an interesting bicycle to work. His tag line is: “Share, help, co-create, this is what I do. Lead, follow, or get out of the way, that is what either of us can choose any time.”
And now, as I (virtually) grab my special star, it’s time to take on the world of Judy: laundry, yardwork, study, playing with my cats, reading, networking, and hanging pictures, with some time out for a siesta.
