Be sweet in the Brag Basket

Every week, I open a new Basket. I call it the Brag Basket, but it's not really about bragging. It's about sharing. I started this so you can introduce yourself, share some good news about yourself, or congratulate a friend.

And what better time to share something sweet than Valentine's weekend? This particular basket is open from Feb. 12-14, 2010.

Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. We all cheer, and everyone feels great. 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. You tell something great about your week, or you give plaudits to someone who did good stuff this week. Or you celebrate a terrific failure. It's not an ad; it's a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other!

  2. "Can Tom Egelhoff get a shot on Fox Business News?" That is the quest I am on. Starting Monday, Feb 15th (President's Day) I will start the process of getting one or more interviews on Fox Business News. I will chronicle my efforts each day on my blog at: http://bit.ly/3gXK6f I believe the small town business owners of the world have been ignored long enough and its time to make our presence known to the big city media. I WILL make this happen. If you have any contacts, phone numbers or any info that you think my help please feel free to email me at: tommail@montana.com or 888-550-6100. Thanks to Becky for a great small town, small business site.

  3. Kevin, thank you so much. And congratulations to your THREE nominations! A big round of applause to @JenX67 for all her work on the Okie Blog Awards this year!

    Tom, you've put your mind to it, and I'm sure it will happen! Folks, if you can, help Tom connect with the right people. We'd all love to see him make some noise for the small towns!

  5. Our local Area 12 Agency on Aging launched a redesigned web site and transitioned the entire office from Exchange/Outlook to Google Apps, all in the same week. Adopting new technology isn't always easy but the staff took it all in stride. They are doing great work in our communities and have been a pleasure to work with.

  9. Late last year, life-long Sonora, CA resident (and former Mayor) Jim Hildreth decided we need more smiles in our lives. He set himself the goal of collecting one million photographed smiles, locally and worldwide. So far, he has over 8,200 and this afternoon, he collected mine and my son's in front of The Candy Vault, in downtown Sonora.

    Jim thinks it will take 8-10 years to get to 1 million but I think it could go much faster than that, if we all spread the word. View the entire collection and contribute your own at http://www.flickr.com/groups/onemillionsmiles/.
