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.

I am also doing a Project Life album this year, and the process of taking the photos and journaling a bit about our day has really allowed me to focus on the beauty of our everyday. I have 2 toddlers right now, and this stage of our life is messy, chaotic and sometimes stressful, but focusing on the little things has given me a new perspective. Bonus: the kids love looking through the album, pointing, laughing and remembering.

Our new puppy gets up around 5:00 a.m., and I am not a morning person, but I love being outside that early. Everything is so quiet and it's refreshing.

One of my favourite everyday moments is how, ABSOLUTELY EVERYDAY, the kids come running to greet me at the door when I get home from work. They call out "Mommy, mommy" and throw their arms around my legs to give me a hug. It makes me feel very special to be so loved.

One of the best everyday moments that I cherish right now is when my youngest daughter says goodnight. It's the way she needs it to be: A hug, followed by a kiss, another hug and then the exchange of "Good night, love you, see you in the morning, love you." If it's not in that order, we start over. I love that goonight has to be perfect and that sometimes I mess it up, just because I want to start over.

Every 'ordinary' moment is a beautiful blessing in this gift of a life when I am awake to it. This morning I sat in my car in the parking garage and watched the rain drizzle before coming into my office to start the workday. If only I was always this present....

One of my favorite moments is snuggles w/my 6 yr old daoughter in the morning. She loves for me to get into bed w/her and snuggle as she slowly wakes up and starts talking about her plans for the day. She always wakes up w/a smile which starts my day out perfectly! :)
Thanks for the chance to win. Looks like a fab DVD! Would love her insights.

The excitement my 1 and half year old expresses when she sees her dad in the afternoon is an ordinary moment I love!

My favorite ordinary moment is strolling around the block with my granbaby and watching the way she takes in the surroundings with her awe and wonder. I would be thrilled to win Brene's new DVD. Thank you for the chance.

Last night, watching my second daughter just wandering around outside, just because she could. You could see on her face that she was planning for a time when she can be outside anyime and not worry about how cold it is.. :>)

Lately, one of my favorite ordinary moments is in that space of 20 - 30 minutes before I go to bed. I am usually catching the last minutes of some television program. To my right, my hubby is dozing off -- fighting sleep like a child -- and to my left, our dog has curled up on his pillow and drifted off to sleep. It's in that moment, with all that I've been through that day, and with all that I am anticipating in the coming days, I am happy.

I am reading Brene Brown's book right now and LOVE it! It's one of those books that I will read over and over...just to let everything sink in a bit deeper.
An ordinary moment: Waking my daughter up in the morning. She is 11 and has the most wonderful freckles that I wish I could memorize. And her breath always smells like asparagus. I never want to forget it.

I love when it's time for the kids to come home from school. The house transforms from a quiet, lonely place to one filled with action, giggles and love.

An ordinary, yet wonderful, moment is when I walk into my daughter's house and she's holding her 7 month old daughter (our first grandchild) and the baby grins from ear to ear when she sees me, grinning even behind the binky! The DVD should provide some great inspiration. Thanks for the opportunity.

my favorite ordinary moment of life is when I am sitting in the car driving my daughters to different activities and they start telling me all the details of their day. Makes me happy that they still want to share with me and happy that they feel they can trust me with their secrets.

since my son (who will be 14 this fri.) got a dvd collection of "supernatural" for christmas...we have been watching them together and really enjoying and bonding over this. we have our special time. i am savoring this time, even though it is basically ordinary, because he is growing up so very fast. This time is so precious and fleeting...that is the story of my ordinary favorite moments!
thank you ali for sharing!!!

My boys are 2.5 and 1. I love tucking them in. It's ordinary and it happens everyday but there's something about those few minutes that are a perfect wrap-up to the day!

Taking the time to make dinner - sometimes it feels like such a chore but I need to remind myself that it's an important moment in my day and in my life and when I do -- I love it.
