Never a Dull Moment - 3 News Items from Word Sell
1. Joyful Jubilation
Last week I became an official contributor to Joyful Jubilant Learning, a really fun community learning blog you should check out if you’re not familiar with it. It was quite an honor and look forward to stretching my mind reading and writing. (A complete list of JJL community contributors appears at the bottom of this post.)

2. Word Sell Cartoon Appears in Magazine’s Premier Issue
The premiere issue of STRATEGY magazine hit the newsstand this month, and my cartoon appears on page 20 –
Very cool magazine and Web site, and I’m glad to be part of it, albeit a very small part! A few of the cover stories sound are quite intriguing –
- The Islamic Republic of Finance
- Immortal Sense of Technology
- Will Cuba Rise Again?
Mavian Arocha, Editor-in-Chief of STRATEGY, described the magazine to me as follows — “STRATEGY is setting the agenda and charting the evolution of business through a unique focus in the marketplace. By uncovering the actionable approach, STRATEGY helps a new breed of leader work smarter and more effectively. In each issue of STRATEGY, we strive to keep business professionals current within their disciplines, but in a concise and holistic approach. Our synopses focus on the core business disciplines, such as real estate, management, finance, accounting, supply chain, information technology, entrepreneurial, and marketing.”
(The cartoon was originally created for Bill Welter at Adaptive Strategies.)

Brad, congratulations! I love your cartoons and it’s nice that your work will reach a new audience. Congrats on JJL too! It is a great community and I know that your contributions will be valued. Wow, lots of good stuff! Go Brad!
Brad, never a dull moment round here, that’s for sure! Congrats on the cartoon publication. Congrats to Jeanne for winning the book - as commenter extraordinaire I think it’s well deserved.
It’s great to see you at JJL - looking forward to more conversations over there!

PS If it’s not too much maybe you could add yours truly to the list of JJL authors…?

Welcome aboard Brad. Looking forward to the conversation.

Hi Joanna, I will add it — you might want to check with Rosa, too, because I pulled this off the JJL site.
Karen, Thank you - the cartoon story is fairly interesting and I may get into it in a future post.
Steve, Thanks for stopping by. I still think you and Robert Hruzek should trade hats!
Brad Shorrs last blog post..Never a Dull Moment - 3 News Items from Word Sell
Brad, I will do, thanks. Working out the different roles and categories is a bit of a complicated story at JJL though as you’ll no doubt soon discover…

Hi Brad, I think maybe you’ve missed X, Y, and Z…? If http://www.joyfuljubilantlearning.com/joyful_jubilant_learning/About2008.html is where you took it from
That would give you the inimitable David Zinger to round off the list too

Hi Brad! Welcome to JJL and thank you for including a link to all the JJL authors blogs. I’m inspired that it’s time for me to do that again soon on my blog. You are an excellent addition to the team and I’m looking forward to your contributions!
All the best, Ariane

Hi Brad!
Kudos on both JJL and your cartoon! What a great week you are having. Welcome to the JJL Team-as you know it is an incredible place to be. It is my daily dose of learning, inspiration, and motivation. You are a wonderful addition, and I look forward to learning more from you!
Angela Maierss last blog post..In the Classroom: Monitoring Mini-Lesson
Hi Brad - it sounds like an interesting site - I’ll be checking it out.
Also congratulations to Jeanne for winning the book.
Brad,
1. Congratulations on becoming an official contributor to Joyful Jubilant Learning! I’m sure you’ll be every bit as popular at JJL as you are at Word Sell!
2. Congrats, too, on having your cartoon published in the premier issue of Strategy. How exciting! It looks like a fascinating magazine! (Thanks, too, for reminding me that it’s about time I wrote another Word Sell cartoon-inspired post at Writer’s Notes. I’ve been planning to do that soon!)
3. Wow! I hardly know what to say about this announcement! I certainly didn’t expect to win the 500th Word Sell Post contest! (I have to admit that I really wondered what was up when I stopped by your blog and saw my photo staring back at me!) I’ll take a look at the books you’re offering and let you know which one I’d like–if I can ever manage to make up my mind! Thanks for hosting such a fantastic giveaway! (This must be my week for winning books! Just won a $15 Amazon gift certificate in Laura Spencer’s Community Building Tip contest at Business and Blogging! Pretty amazing! Haven’t even chosen that book, yet!)
Joanna,
Thanks for your kind congratulations and your even kinder compliment! Both are truly appreciated!
Cath,
Thanks so much for your congratulations also! They’re greatly appreciated!
@Jeanne, CONGRATS! I hope your winning streak continues. What a great way to start a new week!
Karen Swims last blog post..What I Learned About Life from My Friends
Aw, Karen, thanks so much for your good wishes! This certainly is a great way to start a new week!
Congrats and welcome to JJL. We are SO GLAD to have your genius on the team.
And congrats on getting your work published in Strategy. I saw your work in Bill Welter’s book too. Nicely done sir!
Phil Gerbyshaks last blog post..Execute on being YOU!
Hi all you JJL-ers, Appreciate you stopping by to say hello! It is wonderful to be part of this wonderful learning community you’ve created. Phil - we have to get Bill Welter blogging!
Jeanne, Lots of good selections. If you don’t find something you like, for you, I’ll take an alternate choice.
Brad Shorrs last blog post..Never a Dull Moment - 3 News Items from Word Sell
We sure do Brad! You work on Bill from your end, and I’ll work on him from mine, and together…It’ll happen!
Keep smiling! Honk Honk brother!
Phil Gerbyshaks last blog post..5 Ways to Make a Positive Attitude
What a kind offer, Brad! But, just as you say, there are so many good selections that, frankly, I’m having trouble picking just one!
Jeanne,
Congratulations on your award. No doubt you’ll have many hours of interesting and inspired reading.
Brad, congratulations on your 500th post, as well as your inclusion in the magazine.
I hope you get a lot of - well - joy, out of your contribution to the Joyful Jubilent Learning project.

Andrew,
Thanks so much for your kind congratulations! I’m sure I will — once I’ve managed to decided which of these wonderful books to choose!
Thanks again!
Jeanne
