One of our traditions at Small Biz Survival is the Brag Basket. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one May 20-22, 2011.
Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing. It’s here so you can introduce yourself, share some good news, or congratulate a friend. Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others.
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 Facebook. You tell something great about your week, or you give applause 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.

The rural small business blog. We talk about small town business, with how-to articles, especially on social media marketing and making your community a better place. We use this “author” for announcements and other things you’ll want to know.
Even though this isn’t business related, I’d like to celebrate my Mom. Two weeks ago she had cataract surgery. She was terrified about having her eyeball operated on. This week she was given the news that, except for reading and while in the sun, she no longer needs glasses! After wearing them for 45 years! She is so glad she faced her fears. Her vision is now clear and bright!
I am technically a little late – it’s actually about fourteen minutes into Monday in my time zone. I’m going to try to sneak this one in anyway. I wanted to say a big “Way to Go” to my sister, Jill. She manages a public housing apartment complex and does an excellent job. The people there love her and the board of directors loves her too. She is smart and talented and could do anything she wants to, but in this role, she helps so many folks to live a better life. As a sweet little extra bonus, our grandmother lives there, so they get to see each other every day. I’m very proud of her. Way to go Jill.
Yay Jill! Thanks for sharing, Shannon.
