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.

My fav ordinary moment is watching tv with my hubby. We relax on the couch and I usually put my feet in his lap and he will rub them. It's so comfortable and real.

I've been wanting to say this for some time now; Ali, thank you for sharing yet another great website/person! I've found so many awesome things on your site, scrapbooking related or not, that has helped me to grow as a person (and hopefully a better mother), and get my/our family's story out.
One of my favorite moments happens every morning when I hear my 2-year-old daughter's tiny footsteps walking from her room to the living room. I love the sounds her tiny feet make when hitting our bamboo floor (or any floor for that matter!). It marks the end of the morning calm and officially starts our day, which she usually fills with smiles and comedy.
Thanks again Ali for all that you share!
Be well =)

My favorite ordinary moment is seeing my kids' faces in the morning and when they see me, watching them light up, smile huge and try to say, "Good morning." *sigh*
Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

My favorite ordinary moment is when all the kids in the cul-de-sac come out on their bikes and big wheels and the parents stand around chatting in the warm evening air.

*Love* Brene Brown! Thanks for spreading her word, Ali!
One of my favorite everyday moments comes when my 11yo daughter, who is all tweeny and often too cool not only for school but also for physical affection from Mom, holds my hand out in public while we walk. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, I silently cherish it. :)

Good Morning...well I have to say one of my very defining ordinary moments would be the other day. I have a "project life" album I am working on too. While in my sons room cleaning, he has this bag FULL of metal hangers that his work uniforms come on. I have asked and asked for him to take them back to his work so the uniform company can get back 1,000 of its hangers. WELL still he has not done that. I decided that would be my picture of the day. It won't be that too long before that kind of stuff won't be there to bug me, to irritate me, and you know possibly to remind me of my son that charms my everyday life :)

There is a small stretch on my work commute where I have a great view of the front range of the Rockies. I can see the whole sweep of mountains from Colorado Springs all the way to Boulder. It takes my breath away every time.

That moment, when the phone rings. The name is Unknown Caller, Unknown Number. I know it is one of my daughters calling either from the UK or France. The following moments I treasure.

These days, it is definately when I walk into a room and I see my 9 months baby girl walking towards me and saying mama. Exceptional!

Ordinary moments make up our "real" lives and I love capturing them on my scrapbook pages. Thanks for the inspiring blog posts! I cherish our weekend mornings when the kids crawl in bed with us and we just cuddle and giggle.

Watching my partner read to our daughter in the other room. Simple, sweet, quiet and lovely.

Dropping off my boys lunch at their school. Sometimes I feel bad because I am not organized enough for it to make it into their backpack in the morning, but then I remind myself that it's still a lunch made with love, and is probably much yummier because I took the time to make them a special lunch instead of just throwing one together in the morning.

Even though all my girls are teens and one is in college, we try to have family dinners at the dining room table as much as possible. And even though dinners are usually a quick affair... pass me the cheese... can I have a napkin... and they are off to their own pursuits within minutes, it is still nice to have everyone together for a few minutes a day.
