Hello Faithful Readers,
In my opinion, fall is the nicest season of the year. Here in north central Florida it's still warm but the mornings are cool enough to enjoy a outdoor walk. Wherever you live I hope you are enjoying the change of seasons and the beauty of God's creation.
In this newsletter we are offering 2 new books related to stepfamilies. They make GREAT Christmas presents!!
And check out the new Single and Parenting material recently released by the Church Initiative.
Next month I'll be releasing 4 new DVDs so stay tuned!!
Enjoy,

"My mom wants to have a new family picture taken for Christmas," Tanya shared. "She updates the photo every few years and sends it with her Christmas cards."
"Everything was fine until she mentioned that she doesn't want my stepdaughter, Carissa, in the picture. She only wants 'family'. I told her Carissa is part of our family now that I've married her father," Tanya continued. "My mother shook her head no and said 'I only want 'real family' in the picture."
"I'm in shock and I haven't told my husband, Darrell, yet. He is going to be furious. I don't know what to do."
This is just one of the many complex issues that may arise in stepfamily living. And if the couple didn't attend a seminar or workshop geared to the unique issues that are vastly different than first time marriages before they married, they are likely angry, astonished and ambushed by the stress.

Sometimes learning what NOT to do can be the best answer to this question. Watch this fun, humorous clip. I've had similar incidents happen to me. So I know it to be true.
