When you share, you make the Brag Basket more colorful. Photo (CC) by mandykoh on Flickr.
Welcome to the Brag Basket, our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one November 1-3, 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 want to brag on my community of Powell County Kentucky for a moment, if I may. Leaders and concerned citizens got together this past Saturday for their first ever Community Summit and Volunteer Fair. It was both positive and productive! There were several high school students involved and it was incredible to hear what each person cherished about the community and their ideas for a better future. Good things are on the horizon for our community, in part at least, because folks are ready to be intentional about tomorrow instead of just waiting to see what happens. Thank you Becky, for letting me share!
Angela, congratulations to all of Powell County! Sounds like a terrific program.
