March into the Brag Basket

By Small Biz Survival

What wonderful news will you choose to share? The basket is always free and open all weekend, from March 4-6, 2011.

March
“March” basket by Dunbar Gardens

Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing. It’s here so you can introduce yourself, share some good news, or congratulate a friend.

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, email me, tweet me, or comment on Facebook. You tell something great about your week, or you give applause to someone who did good stuff this week. Or you celebrate something wonderful that you tried that failed.

This is not an ad. (I delete the ads.) It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    Thanks, Becky, for the invitation to just barge in during closed hours, but must be the influence of my Mother told me I could just wait and do it right.
    I’m just so glad to be communicating with so many wonderful people. I kind of interested in everything, so I connected at blogchat with a blogger who moved to the farm from the city and now writes of life down on the farm, and another who just zeros in on Tea asking “If my blog is on tea can I blog about other things?” As though I would know! So I just waded it with my opinion and said “It’s your blog, you can write about anything that you want…” That felt good. And a million other moments. Proud to have been intelligent enough to have moved to Oklahoma – just signed on board another 10 library concerts in some really small libraries. & looking forward to 7th Annual Mozart For Mothers Day at OKC Downtown Library and 6th annual Joy of Mozart at Bartlesville in June – & on on up to Miama (spelled it right like it sounds)-Thanks. I like this spot.
