The DHX: The Doughtie Houses Exchange

Karon Goodman writes from her life experience about how to live the stepfamily life with grace. She sent me a review copy of her new ebook, Seven Decisions You Can Make Today To Improve Your Steplife, and my absolute favorite of the seven decisions was to “decide to live well with imperfection.” That advice speaks to me, not just as a member of a stepfamily, but as a member of any kind of family, and as a human being. There is so much in life that isn’t under our control; Goodman reminds us that one of the biggest secrets to living well is in how we respond to things that might not have initially been on our wishlists.

Stepmoms who are feeling powerless and frustrated might feel encouraged and more in tune with that quiet, strong, light place inside themselves after reading Goodman’s advice about reaching for poise and growth in painful situations.

Thanks, Karon, for sharing your ebook with me.
