“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants,” Isaac Newton said. If we see further, it may be by standing on what you share in the Brag Basket. Photo courtesy of the Boston Public Library, Leslie Jones Collection.
Welcome to the Brag Basket, our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one October 18-20, 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.

I am bragging about my little girl, Jonya Pacey; she is one smart kid. She closing one chapter in her business career today to start another. Jonya has been at SELCO (MN Library Systems in Rochester, MN) for 13 years where she held different positions, most recently ILS Manager. Along the way she got her degree, much of it by taking classes online. Honestly, she is always learning, doing. and helping.
Monday she starts her new position as part of the Metafile management team. I can’t explain what the company does, except it has something to do with software and geeky stuff.
As the old saying goes, “Jonya, May the FORCE be with you”!
Miss Dazey, thank you so much for always cheering us on, and thanks for bringing Jonya in today. Jonya, big congratulations on your next big thing!
