The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one Nov 22-25, 2012. It's Thanksgiving week in the U.S., so this is a great time to share some thankfulness. Have some good news this week? Put it in the Brag Basket.

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.) 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.
