A Father's Steps to a Blended Family That Really Works
a book with music CD

What do we take from our time here with each other, with our children, our loved ones? What is important for the lives we live with the families we're born into, find ourselves in and the ones we choose?

We learn, if we're paying attention, that we're all in this together. There's no way to NOT be. That while it is good to receive, it is better to give. That giving IS receiving.

We learn that we all want the same things: to love and be loved, to feel safe. We seek pleasure and avoid pain. We want to know that someone cares about what happens to us. We want to be happy. We need to find fulfillment. We want the magic thing... understanding from another human being.

We want all this, in the end, so we can feel connected. We want to feel the connection with our children, our lovers, our parents, our friends, our co-workers, our country, our world and our god.

There really are no rules for this to happen, there are only ideas and stories that are good ways for us to remember that this is already happening.

We've just forgotten.
