I’m Crisanne, a Midwest mom of two and bibliophile. I write about books, faith, and family on my blog, crisannewithane.com. I love to find the extraordinary lessons hidden in ordinary life experiences. The everyday does not have to mundane! I also believe children’s books hold enduring lessons for all of us; a good book is never really grown out of!
You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and in my Etsy shop @crisannewithane.
We’ve all been there –
You’re in a conversation trying to explain a struggle you’re having.
The other person’s response? “Oh! I know exactly what you mean! One time my…” Frustrating. Frustrating!
You’re looking for empathy, support, and a listening ear but the focus is directed back to the other person.
Being in situations like this has caused me to step back and take a look at what conversation actually is, why we need it, and what a gift it can be to each other.
