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

The Fife Opera House theatre reopened after 102 years in Palestine, Illinois. The concert, “Teri Obst and friends, Featuring Bob King and the Kingpin Band” was a quick sellout. The theatre has a capacity of 250 by today’s standard although it is said the last performance at The Fife in 1912 had double or triple that number in attendance! A small but determined group has been working for over two decades to bring The Fife back to life.

Jim, that’s a great achievement! Congratulations to the people of Palestine who worked on the project for so long, and also to the people who will benefit from the many events to be held there over coming decades!
Happy New Year! May 2015 be a year filled with much joy for everyone.
Let’s see, for the brag basket I’d say my success this past week was surviving the always too busy holidays. ;-)
Applause for my dear friend Susan who picked up a brand new yoga gig to start her year off on a successful foot. (She’s so shy about getting herself out there, and all of her students love her!)
And I DO have an undying love for rural places. :-D I very much miss living in the country.
I was wondering if any readers or bloggers here at Small Biz Survival have a “word for the year”? Something that represents a change or way of being that they want to practice in 2015? Mine is “yes” – as in, say yes! more.
Tracy, cheers to you for 2015! Big congratulations to your friend Susan on her new start in the new year!
As for a word for the year, I don’t do one formally, but I’ve been considering the word “savor” – as in savor the moments, savor what makes it all worthwhile.
