Summary
A wise and inspiring guide to creating a happy and healthy blended family by Mashonda Tifrere with contributions from her co-parents - Swizz Beatz and his wife, Grammy-Award winning singer and songwriter Alicia Keys.
In January 2010, founder of ArtLeadHer Mashonda Tifrere and music producer Swizz Beatz finalized their divorce. When Swizz married award-winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys, a new dynamic was born - three adults who loved and were deeply committed to raising Mashonda and Swizz's four-year old son Kasseem. In Blend, Tifrere draws on the insights they gained from their journey as well as advice from family therapists, parenting experts, and other blending families, to provide an invaluable resource for blended families.
Statistics show that one in three Americans is now a step-parent, stepchild, step-sibling or other member of a blended family. The number of first time marriages or romantic relationships that end in divorce or breakups and the high percentage of remarriages and new relationships that involve children demand a unique, life-affirming approach to processing the end of one relationship and the rebirth of a new familial dynamic with the well-being of children at its center. In this book, Tifrere shares intimate details on how she and her co-parents used communication, patience and love to create an environment where they were able to work as a team and all the children involved could thrive.
Blend will inspire a generation of families.
Critic reviews
"Transformative! A paradigm-shifter for these families who are experiencing divorce or separation, this book shows parents how to reset their egos and enter their hearts. Blend reassures us: there is a way to reconfigure our families post-divorce in a way that is positive and life-affirming." (Dr. Shefali Tsabary, PhD, New York Times best-selling author of The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family)

Inspiration with love and light
Opened my eyes to a new way of being; parking egos and concentrating on what really matters: how we treat people.
Having been raised with "step siblings" and now being a bonus mum to a teenager myself, I found these chapters so relatable.
Finishing this book made me take a reality check to my own created environment. Am I doing all I can? What would it be like to allow myself to relax and socialise with someone I'd never thought to before - I didn't realise that was allowed outside of weddings, christenings and funerals!
Now we have a social event in the calendar, our first and no doubt the start of a stronger blended family relationship. Thank you for sharing your love and light.
