You Are Worthy : You Are Enough : Brené Brown DVD Giveaway
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 Worthiness with 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.
Just the feeling of sliding my feet into my cool, crisp sheets every night is an every day moment that I relish. One of my cats curls up on chest, nestling into me, and I open my latest book and I feel a great big sigh of relief. We've made it through another day, everyone/everything is tucked in, turned off, and locked up for the night ahead. Nothing more is required but for me to read a few pages and then close my eyes and drift off.

My favorite ordinary moment is when I take a bath with my daughter and she leans back on my legs and sucks her thumb while I was her hair.
Thank you for the opportunity, Ali.

Lately, one of my favorite everyday moments is when I pick up my 17-year-old daughter from school and we have about 15 minutes in the car together. She doesn't open up right away, and sometimes, comes at it from a side angle, but she almost always "debriefs" with me at the end of her day and talks about her friends or schoolwork or activities. It's precious time with her and I know we both need it and I certainly treasure it.
Thanks, Ali.

Crawling in bed with my husband of 36 years - we both sigh in contentment because it just feels so right. We know that everything is going to be ok. The days troubles just slide off and all is right with the world.

My 16 month old yelling, "Hi Dad!" the moment my husband walks through the door each evening. So, sweet and pure and innocent.

Taking my dog for a walk in the morning, being the first to see the new snow or the buds on the trees. Watching her tail wag as she goes off to explore some incredible smell and then pauses, turning to see if I am following behind.

My favorite ordinary moment every day except Sunday is the small walk to my mail box and the discovery of what is in it each day. It is always full of surprises and something to read and learn from. Thanks for your blog Ali.

I don't have a specific favorite ordinary moment right now. I am struggling with creating a daily routine and sticking with it, and trying to find out who I am and who I want to be and going from where I am to where I want to be. Whew! Baby steps...

Sitting in my favorite chair with my precious cat on my lap, working on my latest knitting project, with HGTV home improvement or landscaping shows on the TV. . .heaven!

My favorite ordinary moment is the one chatting with the kids about their day. I am so grateful at the end of each day for their health and well- being.

Every morning I go for a run, which is an ordinary thing for me, now. The kids are on off on the school bus and it's just me and the pavement, one foot in front of the other, music in my ears. I give myself that. One foot in front of the other.

Sitting on the couch with my feet in my husband's lap, dreaming and scheming about what we are going to do next in our lives.

Oh...one of my favourite ordinary moments is snuggling on the couch with my 2 boys, a blanket and a pile of picture books. That could last forever and I would be the happiest woman on earth!!

Walking in a park by myself, surrounded by nature. Doesn't get any better than that.
