Yarning is a way of sharing knowledge; it’s conversations that help build relationships in a safe place; these casual conversations are not structured to timelines or subject. By providing unstructured time to touch on things such as life, family, health and achievements, builds strong relationships and mutual respect for one another.
My mom leaving a serious, borderline urgent tone voicemail: Call me
Me calling back: Is everything ok?
My mom’s response: Oh I just wanted to hear your voice
Mom: “Are you working today?”
Me: “i go in tonight”
Mom: “Call me tomorrow”
