I think my sister, a NH state trooper K-9 officer, is a brave and amazing woman.

And so are you, Brene!

I honored my mother, Leona, who at 82 is an amazing woman. She has been amazing all my life and I am so blessed to have her. Brene you are amazing too and I want to say that here and now. Thanks for your blog.

Tears and chills on this hot day. Gotta say my pal Janet Reich wins the prize for me today. She is an amazing woman here in Berkshires. There are many lives who are blessed with her love and attention. Look up www.communityaccesstothearts.org. Plus? She is a summer night's firefly studded pasture of a girlfriend.

Wow. The fact that I'm having trouble picking just one amazing woman is good, yes?
Yes indeed!

I think you're amazing, Brené. You know, just for the record ;^)

WOW-WOW-WOW! I love these sorts of things -- the coming together of the performers, the amazement of the audience, the joy that each feels in the process. I love it (even the tears I'm crying for the beauty I'm feeling).

IT. IS. AWESOME!

Thanks so much for sharing this today! =)

I registered 2 women. My mother who fought a valiant fight against a diseased and wornout body and lost her battle last October and my little sister who was my mother's caretaker right up to the moment she passed. I miss Mom and LOVE my sister!

Thanks for sharing. This gave me chills at the end.

I'm sure your daughter feels great to know you think she's amazing. :)

Love this, posted on my Facebook accounts! I tried to find the song that is in the video to download but could not ;-(
Thank you So much for sharing

Heather - I couldn't find a download of that track on any of the usual download site either. But a good audio is on YouTube (http://bit.ly/cYODTC) and a cd is available inexpensively from Amazon resellers (http://amzn.to/djxfSU). "I Believe" is the last track (#13) on the cd. Thanks for a great post, Brené!

Thanks for sharing the amazing video. It brought tears to my eyes! I think we're all amazing women and we should be proud of it.

I think having a friend, a daughter who is inspiring me, for the difficulties she has faced displaying resiliency, putting one foot in front of another. Tamara this is for you!
07.7.2010 | Unregistered CommenterDebbie

I love this. I've watched it several times and am enrapt (is that a word?) every time. I honored my mother, but I also lost my best friend four years ago to lung cancer. There are hosts of others who amaze and inspire me as well.

This made me weep! I honor all the women in my life and all the women in the world. May peace of mind be with you always!

I registered my aunt Susie (who is also my godmother) because she is the most selfless, giving, and down-to-earth person I know. And she has a great sense of humor to boot! Susie lives over two hours from her parents (my grandparents) and when my grandmother's health deteroriated several years ago, my aunt would drive up every other weekend to help care for her. My grandmother passed away last December, and my aunt continues to come up at least a few times a month to visit with her dad, grocery shop for him, and clean his house.

I registered my mother for who she is and all she has gone through in her life--amazing! This is so wonderful. Thank you Brene!!

I register Thelma M, my awesome Mom. She just threw herself a party to celebrate her 90th birthday and we are all still talking about it. She teaches every person she meets how to LIVE life. I can picture her watching this video dancing along with those lovely young women becasue she is so young at heart.
07.15.2010 | Unregistered CommenterMary Ellen
I believe, heck, I KNOW that my daughter, Cathy Borck, is truly amazing.

Thank you VERY much for sharing this incredible video and the site that goes with it!!

I honored my mother Dorothea. She has been amazing all my life and I am so blessed to have her.
The love I have for dance, I inherited from my mother.
