The book I took the most notes on this year: More listening, less lesson-ing.
I know I’ve mentioned my … unique… family situation here before, but just in case: I live with my brother and his two children, since the passing of his wife a few years ago. I’m a main decision maker (read co-parent) for two young, alive persons, which was unexpected and has been…challenging. So, when NetGalley offered me this book, I grabbed it eagerly. Then I read the intro and thought “God I hope so” to all of the author’s claims of helping to create partnerships […]
