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.

Becky and y’all –
celebrating my 75th birthday a few months back at an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia with my sister and her two grandchildren to whom she is now mother – such an inspiration to me, my young (LOL 66 year old) sister a single mom to two rambunctious-to say the least-kids ages 7 and 9 – I am so proud of her, she is so an exemplary mom – here is a quote from her: “Every life is a sacred story.” so I am here to brag on her – there’s so much more to tell of her – back to the birthday party – entering my 76th year with the sure knowledge of these things: “so much to look forward to – so much to learn – so much to enjoy – so much to share – so much to anticipate – life is good – a divine gift with each breath” – ) well now I have decided to do away with a lot of rules that have been self-imposed it seems almost to hold me back –
A strolling accordian playing singer (hello! it WAS an Italian restaurant!) sang “Happy Birthday” to several tables – the party next to us had a 4 year old boy birthday – then our table, then the child insisted to his mom he wanted to meet me – not much verbal communication, but his enthusiasm which shone through his eyes, and i felt i caught a great surge of energy from the universe that it was so important to him that we connect – i’d say a pragmatic mystical extended moment – i spoke to his mom and everyone went back to the pasta – well now, to be even more verbose, since then i’ve done several firsts – played Mozart at the great State Fair of Oklahoma! my first State Fair gig ever! between the piglet pens and the pork shop – it was great being there!!!! – coming up my first ever concert for National Public Radio in Fort Wayne – been in OKC for 8 years and played my first Arts Festival event in the Myriad Gardens – looking forward to many many firsts in the next quarter century – that is all –
Yo! Becky! Thank you for making this special corner of the universe available – there’s no other corner I know like it.

Wayne, you and your energy could wear me out! Love all that you share, and hope you’ll keep at it for decades to come!
