You Are Worthy : You Are Enough : Brené Brown DVD Giveaway

Brenebrown045


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.


BBrownCaseFrontMed 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.

    My favorite moments are those spent with my extended family at one of our birthday dinners. My mom will make a special dinner with the birthday person's favorite foods and we'll all get together to laugh, cry 'cause we're laughing so hard, and just enjoy. This Saturday is MY birthday dinner at my parent's house...complete with bacon (my all-time favorite food) and apple dumplings! Can't wait!! Thanks for the chance to win!

    One of my favorite ordinary moments right now is walking to the train station in the morning, and breaking the ice over frozen puddles on the way. Of course, I leave some for neighbourhood kids. Must not be too greedy!

    My favorite moments are spending time outside with my husband and kids. This week we have enjoyed feeding our new baby calves.

    My husband works construction....I can count on a couple of months every year when he will be home in the morning. He is usually gone long before the sun comes up. That extra time together makes planning for the decrease in income worth it. (and he cleans house during that time too!)

    As frustrating as it is sometimes, I'm glad we're only driving one car right now (one is waiting to be fixed). It's so nice to have the whole family together, talking, singing, etc. We've even come up with a new word game! Simply having time to connect and (literally!) going in the same direction together has been a blessing.
    Looks like a great DVD! Thanks for letting us know about it!

    A year ago I switched from paper napkins to cloth & all our meals seem so much nicer now using cloth napkins.

    Wow, I would love to get Brene's DVD. The quote at the beginning of this post is enough to inspire me! I have printed it out and plan to keep it in my craft room as a reminder of what my scrapbooking is really all about. Thanks for sharing this Ali!

    We have a morning routine, the cat and dog wake me up, they seem to have an internal timer. I feed the cat and the dog gets a little of the cats food. Then I wake up my son. My little dog follows (leads) me through this routine every day. She is not happy if I sleep in or we deviate.

    My perfect everyday moment is when my husband walks back into the house after his day at work. I feel extra safe when he's around.

    Favorite moment from this morning: as my 8 yr old gets out of the car at school, he always turns to me, gives me a high five, and says, "May the force be with you."
    I used to miss his "I love you" goodbyes, but now these fill my heart:-)
    Love Brene and her parenting CD, would love her DVD!

    Watching my 2 year old "love up" my mom who is battling brain cancer. The unconditional love pouring from her little heart is nothing short of amazing.

    Ordinary;folding the familys clean laundry, and,,, enjoying it, and taking the moment to reflect on the fact that we have life so easy. So much to be thankful for. We take so much for granted... clean laundry, health, freedom to worship God, travel...

    When we look for the art in the everyday, we see those special moments. I see it in nature, in my cat's eyes, the heart of others. Now I just have to see it in myself.

    I'm generally the first one up on a weekday morning, and the dog and I go outside to get the paper. The cats follow us, and the sky is dark. The world outside is just waking up too, it's quiet and peacful and I breath deep.

    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.

    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!
