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.
Interesting quote. DVD should be interesting as well. TFS an opportunity to win and know about this DVD.
Aloha, Kate

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...

Our 4-year old likes to choose the meal-time prayer ... it is often sung and fantastic! I hear the tune of the chosen song hummed many more times throughout the evening by the rest of the family (12, 15, 40+)

An ordinary moment I enjoy is in the warmer weather, just sitting outside in the backyard after supper with my husband, daughter, and dog running around like the silly lunatic she is.

I am a mess right now when it comes to my worthiness. I appreciate reading this even though at the moment it just makes me cry.

The few minutes of pillow talk at night with my husband as we know that the kids are sound asleep in their bed. No earthshattering discussion, but the routine and peacefulness of it is what makes it comfortable. In 12 years of living together, we still go to bed at the same time almost all the time and this is a comforting routine.

Every evening my husband puts our daughter to bed. I lay down in our room and listen to the story, prayers, and conversation through the baby monitor. It is wonderful to hear the two of them chat together and it is also nice to hear her summarize her day and all the fun things she and I did together.

My favorite ordinary moments are savoring the way the light from the sun reflects in the faces of my children.

going through school papers with my daughter - love checking to see what she has in her little backpack! She is 4 1/2 and is in pre-K - I LOVE her little art projects and things she has been working on! I love to hear her tell me about her day!

My favorite ordinary moments each day are when my kids get up, ready for a hug (usually), a good morning, and a cup of chocolate milk that only I am allowed to make them.
Awesome giveaway!!! Thanks!

My favorite moments are in the car on Sunday mornings, driving to church with my teen son and husband. We get to talk and laugh without interruption- for about 30 minutes it's just us in the world together, such a wonderful heart connection. Thanks for asking us to share Ali, I love reading everyone's stories.
And I would like to win the giveaway!

One of my favorite moments was when my husband and I were visiting my niece when she was about 2. He put on his cowboy boots, which she had not seen before. She got a puzzled look on her face and said, "But Uncle Dan, it's not going to rain." SO precious!

when my little one sits on my lap (as I try to type on my laptop) with a book (usually he wants to use the computer to watch youtube)

Making school lunches ... thinking about how many hundreds I've made over the years and appreciating the time in my life it represents ... watching boys grow from excitable youngsters to mature young men.

My favorite ordinary moment is when my cell phone rings and I see that it is my daughter calling. Even though she is far away, we can still talk every day.

I also think my scrapbooking tells the story of my life..

If I kept my stories REAL I am not sure anyone would want to read them. After a stressful pickup time of my grandchildren (Both father's arrived at the same time,stressed from work), I am feeling a little used and under appreciated. But, that said......I would never want to give up the time I have and will have with my grandchildren. I need BALANCE!

having been in a montessori classroom with two year olds for 25 years, I love to hear the undercurrent of sweet voices singing...and these magical, ordinary moments happen every day!
