Put your first half of 2012 brags in the basket

Posted: 06 Jul 2012 04:50 AM PDT

The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one July 6-8, 2012. Have some good news this week? Put it in the Brag Basket.

The first half of 2012 has passed. Time to review the past six months. You can use these six-month questions to get started. Then come share something good with all of us.

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.) It's a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.
