    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"

      Now i am panicking because she often does that with bad news. Usually though she doesn't have anything to actually say, just wanting to catch up. But why does it always have to seem like an emergency?

      It's increasingly common for Australians (at least in my social circles) to say "just want to yarn" and I'm all for it

      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.

      (Note - different from a yarning circle)
