The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one April 12-14, 2013. What good news will you add to the brag basket?
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.) If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.
It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

Found out earlier that one of my projects has won a spot in the 2012-13 Oklahoma SPJ contest. It’s my first major award for my work so I’m pretty excited. I’m not 100% sure which of my entries won, but I’ll bet it was http://tulsaworld.com/everydaypeople

Micah, congratulations on your first major award. I’m betting it won’t be your last.

I’m just hear to say I am happy to have arrived at a place in my life where “success” is less about accomplishments and more about the realization that to be here in the land of the living is sufficient cause for celebration. Reflecting on the recent deaths of Jonathan Winters and Maria Tallchief, both at the age of 88 and my spontaneous thought on hearing the news:
“Oh! So young!” LOL
“Oh! So young!” LOL
Thanks, Becky, for the Basket. It’s a unique spot.

Wayne, it is good to be alive. And it is good to have done your own special part to touch the lives of others. You certainly have.
