You Are Worthy : You Are Enough : Brené Brown DVD Giveaway
Tags:For quite a number of years now, I have believed that scrapbooking is a way to own our story.
Through documentation and exploration and simply getting the story down on paper we come to know ourselves better. And as my friend Dr. Brené Brown says, "we gain access to our worthiness."
I first met Brené, a researcher, writer and professor, a few years back at our now annual Oregon Coast summer retreat. She is an exceptional woman who inspires me in so many ways, most especially through her concept of wholeheartedness. We bonded over some of our "better" type-A qualities, years & years of swimming, good old sarcasm, and the fact that we both "like our crazy right up front."
Karen did a great interview yesterday with Brené here.
This week Brené is celebrating the release of her new DVD titled The Hustle for Worthinesswith a Week of Worthiness on her blog. To help her celebrate I am giving away one of these DVD's today.
One of my favorite ways to celebrate "who I am" and "what I believe" is to capture the ordinary moments of life - the moments that tell the real everyday stories of our family. Leave a comment below sharing one of your favorite ordinary moments for a chance to win Brené's new DVD.
Comments will be closed tonight at 8pm Pacific with the winner posted shortly after.

Visiting my parents home and seeing my niece Hayden. I don't get to see her all that often because I live about 5 hours from them. I love it when I wake up each morning and she comes straight up to me and wants me to hold her and roll around with her. It is a truly beautiful moment. I love that she trusts me so much even though she see me rarely. She is almost 2 years old and so beautiful. Those moments take my breath away. I love them!

Every night I "visit" my kids in their beds when I tuck them in. There they tell me about their day: good and bad. For some reason they are more open then, than any other time of day. Very ordinary, but very special.

Morning coffee, checking emails while my 7-month old son is playing on the floor, speaking his very own language.

Funny, just told this story today at work - we were talking about dogs, & how through time the "scary" dogs have changed from german shepherds to dobermans, rottweilers & pit bulls. I had a rottweiler experience a while back. We used to have bunnies & when strange dogs would come around I'd poke my head outside to shoo them away, not wanting them to scare the bunnies. They always would just jump away, & run off until one day a rottweiler visited. I again popped outside & hollered "go away, shoo" thinking it'd bolt, but instead it just stood & stared at me! What?! That sorta freaked me out, so I went inside & gathered a handful of rubber bands & went back out & started shooting them at the dog, hollering still! Yeah, just an ordinary moment in our life... at that time anyway!

Listening to my 6 year old granddaughter reading a favorite story to me is one of those ordinary moments that really melt my heart.

My favorite ordinary moment is: enjoying a cup of spiced chai tea in the 9 o'clock hour of morning while my 9-month old baby watches Sesame Street on television. His entire face lights up with such enthusiasm whenever he hears one of the muppets. There is a reason WHY Sesame Street has been around for 40 years.... because kids LOVE IT!

My ordinary moment is looking forward to my daughter coming into our bed for early morning cuddles the way her sister and brother (my step children) used to when they were little. Nothing beats an early morning sleepy snuggle from someone you love so dearly. Thanks for the chance to win.

My favorite moments are at bedtime, while we're plugging in phones, slathering on lotion, getting into jammies, setting alarms, and chatting about today and tomorow....then laughing as we shoo the dogs from the pillows to the foot of the bed and slide close to each other...and seeing his eyes...large, soft, and brown...and realizing again how much love we share...right before he kisses me goodnight.

One of my favorite ordinary moments is when my son comes home from school. I love that time when he is eating his snack & talking about his day.

Some of my favorite ordinary moments are when its dark outside and still. My family and I sit around our living room and just talk. We talk about EVERYTHING. We have had some of our best conversations ever with our kids during these unplanned times.
I would LOVE to win a copy, Ali. Thanks!!

Sunday mornings when we are all together. I am crafting, my nephew and best friend are both on laptops. We are drinking hot chocolate and coffee and talking. Talking about school, work, life. My dog curled on her bed. We call them coffee shop Sunday's and they are just the best. So much peace and love in one room.

My kids have always been involved in music/theater/dance. My son is now 18 and involved in his last highschool play and last night was his second-to-last chorus concert... I never want to forget all of the moments of music and performance--from rides to rehearsals to groups of kids that burst into song whenever, to "call" that have added such joy to my kids' childhood (and to my motherhood.)

The way my nearly 3-year-old daughter looks when she gets out of the bath and she's all wrapped up in a towel. So pure, cute, and lovable.

My nephew comes home with us after church on Sundays. I love our "ordinary" Sunday afternoons. I even made a mini album that I called Sometimes on Sundays...
