Book excerpt: For the past decade I have been a step parent, a role I never anticipated in my life. I married a wonderful man with four beautiful children; three daughters and one son. Although three of my step children were at least eighteen, one of them, a female, was only thirteen when I became her step mom. Every grown woman knows that being thirteen in and of itself is at times “no picnic”. Now add in a step mom and the situation allows for additional challenges the step child never anticipated.I have a very strong faith and a personal relationship with Jesus and therefore, although I knew this would be challenging, I knew He would guide my every step. Since the youngest child decided to live with her dad, I became a “full-time” step mom. Her decision to stay with her father was something I supported and vowed to assist in any way I possibly could. Today she is 26, recently married and I am proud of the beautiful woman she has become.Through my step parenting experience a wonderful blended family has emerged. The many efforts of all the parents as well as the children have made my life with my blended family so fulfilling that I felt I needed to share this experience with others. I made some decisions in the very beginning which enabled me to become a successful step parent. Therefore I decided to write a book in which I share various experiences and outcomes based on how I chose to focus on different situations that occurred. I didn't get everything right and made some mistakes but I learned that when I did, I was “out of focus”.I would like to extend a sincere thank you to those individuals who assisted me during the process of writing my book. A special thanks to my dear friends, Carol Algier, Marlene Balzer, Lana Ciociolo-Hinkell, Melissa Kennedy, Evelyn Robinson and Anne White for their desire to lend their editing talent which enabled me to complete my book. These ladies are my "sister-friends" and I will always be grateful for their input and support during this process.I would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Carlos Pascoal for allowing me to use his beautiful photos taken of my children and grandchildren. These photos captured the beauty and personality of each of my precious children and grandchildren and I am so grateful to include them as the finishing touch I so desired for my book.My hope is that while reading this book you feel every emotion I felt as I was writing it and leave you wanting more. As my life goes on continued updates will be provided in my blog on my website www.stepasidestepmom.com.Please join me on my continued journey as a step parent and grandparent and I hope to join you on your journey as well.One final note: 10% of the book's royalties will be donated in support of various charities caring for children.God Bless!

Book Synopsis The Liturgy of Motherhood by : Kathleen Finley
Download or read book The Liturgy of Motherhood written by Kathleen Finley and published by Sheed & Ward. This book was released on 2004-08-20 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liturgy of Motherhood: Moments of Grace is a unique invitation to mothers and parents to pause and reflect on the rhythms, cycles, symbols, and rituals that define who they are, both as caregivers and members of a larger community. Using the liturgical year as her framework, Kathleen Finley explores the spirituality of many kinds of mothers and the ways that various aspects of the Christian tradition—from the Advent wreath to the Beatitudes, the Paschal mystery of Christ's death and Resurrection to the daily celebration of the Sacraments—shed their light on the daily and unique holiness of motherhood. Both the actions of motherhood and the rituals of the liturgy reaffirm in our lives the communion, connection, and timeless presence in any relationship of love. In each chapter, Finley connects the themes and practices of the season to particular aspects of a mother's spirituality, a spirituality that is communal, incarnational, nurturing, patient, among other qualities. She offers to her readers the voices of real women recounting their own experiences of motherhood alongside classic and contemporary Christian models. Including passages from Scripture, questions for reflection, and suggestions for further resources, The Liturgy of Motherhood provides a way for mothers—and for all of us—to further develop the daily richness of our relationships as a "domestic church" within the Christian tradition.

Download or read book Stepmonster written by Wednesday Martin and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2011-01-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An honest and groundbreaking guide to understanding the complicated emotions that develop between stepmothers and children. When faced with often overwhelming challenges, what woman with stepchildren is unfamiliar with that “stepmonster” feeling? Half of all women in the United States will live with or marry a man with children. To guide women new to this role—and empower those who are struggling with it—Wednesday Martin draws upon her own experience as a stepmother. She's frank about the harrowing process of becoming a stepmother, she considers the myths and realities of being married to a man with children, and she counteracts the cultural notion that stepmothers are solely responsible for the problems that often develop. Along the way, she interviews other stepmothers and stepchildren and offers up fascinating insights from literature, anthropology, psychology, and evolutionary biology that explain the little-understood realities of this unique parent-child relationship and—in an unexpected twist—shows why the myth of the Wicked Stepmother is the single best tool for understanding who real stepmothers are and how they feel.
