The Brag Basket is open! This one is for December 1-11, 2014. Bring your good news to share with everyone.

What can you do in the Brag Basket?

  • introduce yourself
  • share some great news from this week
  • congratulate a friend
  • applaud for each other
  • confess your undying love for rural places

How do you join in?

Below this post is the comment section. Add your good news there.

If you are reading this by email, just reply to the email with your good news. I’ll add it to the comments.

Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.

Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. 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’m excited for an opportunity to do some educational work with the National Scenic Byway Foundation – as a total sucker for road trips on heritage highways and scenic byways, this is a dream gig.

    Was bustin’ to share and remembered the Brag Basket!

    It has just been forever since I commented – so I wanted to say hi!

    I just recently joined and really haven’t taken the time to get to know anyone or post anything about us or our business, but thought I’d just say a quick hello to let you know we are here, and listening :)
