The winner of the Brene Brown dvd is Sarah Beckley! Congratulations Sarah! For the rest of you, hop right over to Brene's site to order your own copy. It is a life-changer for sure. (I love the idea of ordering a copy and having a viewing party with several friends. It would be an amazing conversation starter and a powerful gift for your dear ones)
One of the best things about being in the middle of a Mondo Beyondo course is that I am reminded to practice the principles daily. If I'm going to talk the Mondo Beyondo talk, I've got to walk the walk as well, right? My commitment to authenticity won't let me off the hook on this one.
In the class, we practice strengthening our courage and being willing to be vulnerable. We practice following our intuition and leaning into trust. From what I've seen, if we are fully embracing and exploring our edge on these practices, we are pretty much unstoppable. We are jedi warriors of the most soulful kind and we become master manifesters... the world of possibilities just continues to expand.
You might remember that I declared a clearing a couple of months ago. I wasn't sure what I was preparing for, but my intuition told me that i needed to clear out as much space as possible for new dreams to find me. In that space, we found a new home and moved, Ben went through some serious health issues (that I was so grateful I had freed myself up to address) and then the miracle of all miracles, I found out I am pregnant! I've been telling students that the clearing is about creating space for new dreams and unexpected delights to find you... and this is truly an unexpected delight!
I am continuing to listen to myself deeply, to trust myself and to know that my deepest truth (if I can get quiet enough to access it) will never steer me wrong.
Hold us in your hearts tomorrow as Ben has his MRI!
getting caught up here and so delighted to hear your news!
i must mondo with you very soon!
and so happy to hear ben is doing better. we've been through the allergy test ringer here lately, as well, so i'm feeling you, sister.
so so excited for you, matt and ben!

Let us all know how far along you are, if you think about it....
And yes, I understand that strengthening your courage means willing to be vulnerable, but can I be honest here? I'm not willing to be vulnerable for some reason. That sounds horrible, but there it is....

Will be holding Ben and your family in my prayers. Like many of your readers, I'd imagine, you don't know me, but you bring some light into my life, and I feel affection for you and your family. I hope the doctors will be at their best and that Ben and you and your husband will be at your most peaceful and courageous through the diagnostic process.

Posted by: Pharmd846 at March 18, 2010 02:32 PMOh, Andrea. How amazing. This feels a billion times different than last time, with the shot of the ultrasound on the screen, and me breaking into tears at my desk, and it being the culmination of so many hopes and wishes and prayers. This time it feels like... one wonderful thing in the middle of many wonderful things. And that's different, but equally great, no?
And yay for siblings! And new wee ones! And grace for all of you for the MRI.
Now i'll be thinking about leaning into trust.

Posted by: marilyn at March 18, 2010 01:07 PMDear Andrea,
Many many congratulations! That is such wonderful news about your pregnancy.
My second child, Felix, had to have an MRI at 4 months of age, and he will have a follow-up next year. All of this took place in Paris, where we live at the moment and in french, which is not my native tongue. The nurses and doctors were wonderful. I sat with him in the room and even with my earplugs it sounded like a rave. They practically mummified Felix to protect his ears and keep his sleeping body still. My husband stayed with our older son, so we were alone together in the room. I hope that everything went well for Ben and for you and that the MRI helps you understand what he needs. Much love from afar.
PS You made my mother, who has Alzheimers, a Joy necklace last year for Christmas and she wears it every day.
Posted by: Jennifer at March 18, 2010 12:00 PMCongratulations, Andrea! It's so great to read good things like this after knowing you and your family through this blog. Please give us an update on Ben's MRI when you have the chance. Rest up!
Posted by: amy c at March 18, 2010 11:21 AMCongratulations on the little one! I'm so happy for you! I'm sending good thoughts and well wishes for little Ben. He is such a sweet boy, I'm sure his little brother or sister will be just as sweet!

Much love to you, especially as you face tomorrow's trial with little Ben. As always, you will overcome with grace and wisdom... and the love and support of the special tribe you have worked so hard to cultivate.
you are in my heart right there with that sweet sweet baby boy of yours.
sending you love, goodness and hugs upon hugs.
xxooxxoo

In the spirit of the day: You and yours and yours to be have all of my ripest luck.
Posted by: K. Hamm at March 17, 2010 09:41 PMWow! First, good luck for Ben and the MRI tomorrow. (Note, if it's a closed MRI, tell him to keep his eyes closed the whole time like he's taking a nap. Also, the noise _changes_ each time it stops and starts--I was not prepared for that.)
Second, CONGRATS on the latest edition!
Third, I have to tell you that I didn't even really read what the DVD was about when I entered. I've been reading your blog for years and I've been working on my self esteem for an order of magnitude longer than that. So I was just happy to post my affirmation--and trusted that whatever _you_ would give away would be great.
After I won, I went to the web site and laughed out loud when I read about Brene. It's exactly what I need right now and I can't even express to you how cosmically appropriate that this DVD is coming my way right now.
Thank you and thanks to the Universe that takes such good care of me!
Posted by: Sarah Beckley at March 17, 2010 09:13 PMThat's wonderful news amidst all kinds of chaos.

Posted by: Annie Lewis at March 16, 2010 05:09 PMoh andrea! such lovely news! I will never forget the train platform serenade I received as I left Santa Barbara nearly 11 years ago from you Chris, Jacques and others. Remember, I said I was going home to make a baby and you all gave me your blessings? Now that thriving 10 year old is singing to herself in the shower and she is up to my chin. When my second child was on the way, I didn't think it was possible to love any more, and the wonderful thing is that each child brings 100% more love into our lives.
Congratulations. I look forward to following your journey.
xo annie

Posted by: k at March 16, 2010 12:29 PMcongrats on the pregnancy, and i'll keep Ben in my thoughts for his MRI. i've loved following your journey these past few years, and this is yet another post that speaks to exactly where i'm at. hoping to sign up for a Mondo Beyondo class before the year is up, but am already learning to follow and trust my intuition.
Posted by: robyn at March 16, 2010 12:23 PMWOWWWWWWWEEE ZOWEEEEEEEE I am SOOOOOO excited for you!!!!!!! I've been struggling today and thank you for sharing this magic. I really needed to hear it. I'm going through my first break-up ever and it's hard. I'm still keeping the faith that I'm on the right track and that good things will come from this! Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS!
Posted by: AndreaD at March 16, 2010 12:14 PMYou are so power-full! I am in awe and all inspired by watching you grow!
greetings from Paris! x
Posted by: m-c at March 16, 2010 12:08 PMCongrats on the pregnancy! I clearly remember all those posts on your struggle before you had Ben and so this seems like an extra special wonderful thing.
Posted by: Camilla at March 16, 2010 12:05 PMI am sooo happy for you - to hear you are pregnant again !!!!. I discovered your Blog around the time you were pregnant with Ben and have loved coming back regularly to see what is happening in your life, and your family and friends. I must admit that I was wondering when and whether you might consider having another addition to your family. Best wishes as well with Ben - will be thinking of you all.
love Jenny from South Africa
Posted by: Jenny P at March 16, 2010 12:01 PMoh my gosh. i am soooo happy for you. what great news. just want to let you in on little secret. two children are easier than one. all the time you spend entertaining ben now will significantly decrease when you have another child. he will want to spend his time with them much more than he will with you. not that you don't love spending time with ben but you might have a little more "me time" when you have two children to occupy each others time.
Posted by: Tonya at March 16, 2010 11:59 AMCongratulations and best wishes with Ben's MRI.
Best,
Jenny
congrats!
