Every week, I open a new Basket. I call it the Brag Basket, but it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing. I started this so you can introduce yourself, share some good news, or congratulate a friend.
The basket is open all weekend, from March 12-14, 2010. I’m away at SXSW right now (I think that was a brag!), so I need you to applaud each other.
Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. We all cheer, and everyone feels great. It lets you meet each other a bit. Reading each others’ stories brings us a bit closer to being a community.
How does it work? You write a comment on this post, email me, tweet me, or comment on this note on Facebook. You tell something great about your week, or you give plaudits to someone who did good stuff this week. Or you celebrate something wonderful that you tried that failed.
This is not an ad. (I delete the ads.) It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

I would like to comment about Tourism Currents. Congratulation Becky and Shelia on joining the Round Rock,TX Chamber of Commerce. In my opinion that is a very professional thing to do.
BTW, have fun at SXSW.
Thank you so much, Miss Dazey. The credit is all Sheila’s. She has really built a wonderful local network in Round Rock.
The Area 12 Agency on Aging Blog is now live, serving 5 rural counties in central California. This is new territory for them, so take a look and leave a comment, if the spirit moves you.
Thanks.

Greg, congratulations to the whole team! I love to see folks trying out new skills.
Tom Egelhoff left this comment on an older basket, so I’m moving it forward:

Here’s a great brag that came in via email today:
Big fan of this site, long time visitor, great stuff here. I support small business too, more importantly rural USA. An Okie by birth, a farm-boy by chance I have a fondness for the heartland of America.
A group of us were planing a road-trip, Canada to Mexico. Our research information grew into a website. Seemed like a shame not to share with others. ushwy281 (dot) com. The majority of this highway is through rural areas.
Great weather at SXSW and the wildflowers are every where. Hope you had a good time.
Thanks John…
