Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others. Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing.
What can you do in the Brag Basket?
- introduce yourself
- share some great news from this week
- congratulate a friend
- laugh about something wonderful that you tried that failed
- applaud for each other
Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. 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. We all cheer, and everyone feels great.
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.
I just want to say through the Brag Basket I’ve made a great acquaintance whose blog I now read (http://www.hullfinancialplanning.com/). I’m also meeting this person in person Monday morning, and look forward to him and I supporting each other’s work.
And than you, Becky, for your blog and the community you cultivate.
it’s annual rodeo week in our small town. this year in addition to the normal Thurs. Fri. Sat. night performances, we had two pre-rodeo events held downtown focusing on family fun and supported by the small business owners. Great job by our chamber and the rodeo committee in presenting the duck race, a chili cook-off, John Wayne on the big screen (outside theater on the side of the building)and an old fashioned box supper social followed by a gospel music fest featuring some very good local talent! What a way to start off rodeo week, and by the way, our rodeo was voted most improved last year and we are shooting for best of the best this year!
Nick, you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that. Thank you.
OkieJ, a big round of applause to you and the whole community of Waynoka!
The show I hate to do. Every year I do a radio show on Bankruptcy. Tomorrow is that show. Listen Live to “Open for Business” – Noon to 2 PM Mountain, 1-3 PM Central, 2-4 Eastern. Listen Live online http://kmmsam.com Call in # for questions or comments 406-522-8255 – We’ll have a bankruptcy attorney and a non-profit, state, consumer counselor on debt reduction. This is NOT an infomercial for companies that reduce your debt.
Tom, I’m glad you do that show. It’s a needed service, even though we wish it wasn’t.
