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 favorite ordinary moment is finishing a really good book. It's like I just got to know someone's story (even if it's fictional) and when I finish that last page I feel sad that I don't get to know any more but so happy I was given the chance to read and learn what I did.

Every Sunday my husband makes wheat pancakes or waffles with our daughters. Delicious and fun!

The weather turned Spring like here this weekend and I once again enjoyed watching and hearing my daughter and her neighborhood friends riding their bikes and playing together outside my window at the end of our dead end street. I just adore the everyday sound of children playing together outside.
I'm reading Brene's book right now!

I love the random conversations my kids and I have in the car.

I enjoy conversations with my daughter while I'm driving her to school every morning. It's uninterrupted 1x1 time that is so hard to find otherwise.

Jan. 24th, 2010--My mom and dad came to church with us because my 6 year-old and my nephew were singing in choir. My folks didn't usually attend, but they never missed their grandsons singing. We ate at Pizza Inn afterwards--my sister's family, my family, and our parents. Typical Sunday. Ordinary Sunday. My dad passed away on Jan. 27th, of a massive heart attack. He was so healthy and had no warning signs. He played golf the morning of his death. It was a complete surprise and has been so heart breaking. On Jan. 24th, I didn't know it would be our last ordinary day with us all together. Now I savor that memory.

I just took a picture of my morning coffee in a treasured cup. And then promptly wrote about how my husband has brought me a cup of coffee every single morning we've been together. 36 years now. It's those ordinary things that make life momentous.

Just sitting with my oldest in the mornings before the baby wakes. Those quiet moments of connection really start the day off right!

I have long felt that we all need a voice-we seem to silence our feelings and our thoughts. I struggle with this on a daily basis.

Right now an ordinary moment is wiping noses and filling humidifiers. But warmer weather is right around the corner.

Thank you for introducing new people to your blog followers. I love journal time and thinking about the good things in my day. I have a loving husband of 62 years who tells me almost everyday that I'm his favorite lady in the whole world. To pay him back we are in FL for 3 weeks so he can attend spring training baseball games from which he gets so much enjoyment.

I love how my youngest greets me when I pick him up or come home. He runs to me, flings his small but mighty arms tightly arund me saying, "Momo, mama . . . I love you mommy!" I have no idea why the "momo, mama", but I now it is his term of endearment for me and I love this everyday extraordinary moment.

When my husband and I are both off work and we stay in bed late in the morning, hanging out with our two boys... talking, laughing, watching tv and cuddling.

One of my favorite ordinary moments is kissing my husband awake. I get up before he does, so I usually get to wake him, and he always smiles at me.
