Daddy…We Did It!

There is a Good and a Bad side to everything.  I never want to leave the thought of Blended Families as all sunflowers and Roses.  There are some real issue that hurt real people and can cause real damage.  In this episode I talk about those very things.  This is when we flip the coin and end on tail.  But we use it as a learning tool to understand the everyone has flaws.  I use the accronym FLAW and remind myself that Flawed Love Also Wins.  You should always remember that too.  No one and nothing is perfect. We all have a flaw or more than one flaws but at the end of the day Flawed Love Also Wins.

Our world changed on October 28, 2021. We didn’t see it coming. The man we loved and looked up to…the Gentle Giant…the Greatest Girl Dad, said goodbye to life on this side. Here are my initial thoughts. A full episode will be coming soon.

Today Life Coaching, Mentoring and Therapy is becoming very common.  There a plethora of styles and types and different combinations.  Before the marriage couples take advantage of premarital counseling but do they see the need or value in adding the blended family component when applicable.  Coach LA is a very accomplished subject matter expert in this area.  With 46 years of experience in Life Coaching, Mentoring and Therapy, Coach LA shares his wisdom of how these tools keep us accountable and create better families.

In this episode we chat with 4 of 5 siblings separated not only by time and space…but by a large body of water. Due to the relentless pursuit of the baby of the bunch, the siblings are now connected. Hear the heart warming story of the how the wish of their father is finally coming to fruition.

We are back! Blessed2bBlended is back for season 2 and it promises to be better than ever.  We will have some new guests, new topics and new understanding.  We have added a new segment called Moments With Merrell.  Girl talk is back! And this season we are going to discover different cultural aspects of the blended family.  In this episode, I wanted to share my theory of the Family Relationships!  Blessed2bBlended!

Women are Powerful.  Not only do we see this in politics and on the job, but they are the glue that keeps our communities together.  What is it about women that makes it seem like our accomplishments have to separate us and not bring us together.  We need to be adjusting crowns instead of tearing them down.  Women are complex creatures and in this episode, my Bestie Ty and I try to sort our some of the how's and why's of women.  In the end a Woman must know herself in order to be successful in anything especially in relationships.  This is Girl Talk 2.  

Young people ARE getting married and with the rate of single moms, single dads, baby mommas and baby daddy’s there is a great chance they will marry someone who has a child. The stereotype is the new girl and old girl must hate each other and the new guy and old guy must almost come to blows. I know a group of Millennials who have broken the mold.

This blended family stuff is HARD. No one comes into this knowing exactly what to expect. What you do know is you love your significant other and the children did not ask to be in the middle of all of this. All too often there are times when it seems you are doing everything correct and then WTF!  In this episode, Rose talks about the challenges of loving her fiancé and his daughter and in the middle of adversity trying to hold the Modern Family together. It seemed as though everyone was in a great place and then all of a sudden...boom!

I was honored to have my partner in life and in love join me today to share his perspective on our blended family.  Both of us come from blended families and our experiences were extremely different. We will discuss our differences, our challenges and where we are now. 

In this Episode I sit down with my very best friend and we chop it up about the lessons life has taught us that have made us who we are today.  It is a good thing we don't look like what we've been through because...HUNTY!!! But we know what does not kill us, helps us become Crown Adjusters.  Are you bitter or are you out here adjusting crowns after life's situations may have shifted yours.  Breath and take a moment to experience family and love. This works when we work! Its not tradition but it is sensational! We are blessed to be blended! #blessed2bblended
