Join me in the Brag Basket

The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one September 6-8, 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 thethings, you’ll be fine.

It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

      Congratulations, Marc! Reading your comments in Success, I hear what you were saying when you talked last time about choosing to be worth more to the people we help. Good job!

    Just got back from a trip of a lifetime to Hawaii. This place was truly heaven on earth. We went to Ohau (spelling?), Maui, Kawaii (spelling?) and the Big Island (Hawaii). The beauty and the people were just not to be believed. To get there from Philly was not easy, but boy was it worth it. A very spiritual and astounding place.
