[Original Broadcast Date: 5-15-2017] Dear Hannah, Life is a series of opportunities. Here's how I approach life ... I listen, because I don't listen well. I am quiet, because I am not quiet. I observe, because I can't see. I know, because I know that I don't know. I speak like no one else is ever going to speak for me. I do like no one is ever going to do for me ...

[Original Broadcast Date: 5-22-2017] Dear Hannah, I know that I do not know. So, I need to LEarn and teach. I cannot LEarn while talking. I LEarn by listening. I teach by LEarning. I teach by listening and talking. I create change through power and influence. I create power through efficient work. I do efficient work by LEarning. I influence by reaching - then teaching. See, I am quiet - but not silent. Here's what I am LEarning ...

Dear Hannah, My education began when I finished school. reflection led to a lot of unlearning and relearning. i realized that i was presented facts disguised as knowledge, opinions disguised as fact, and a whole lot of memorized processes disguised as problem solving. it's all good, though - 'cause now I know ... that i don't know. so i value divergent thinking ... (seeing many answers to the same question) ... creativity ... (capacity for original thought) ... reading ... writing ... counting ....

Dear Hannah - My name is Derrick. I have one purpose today. I want to tell people who I am, and what I do, hope, and dream about ... let me share my journey's progress over the last year ... Love, Daddy

Dear Hannah, We need to talk. we need to have sustained, substantive conversations with friends, fans, and foes that are affirming, accepting, accountable - and sometimes authoritative. they can be focused, civil, intra-generational, didactic, inspiring, comforting, strategic ... ... and can still be pleasant & fun. ... or thoughtful, probing, and sobering. ... or downright serious. they can edify and mature the mind, will, and emotions ... ... by speaking life ... and preventing death. they can...

Dear Hannah, Our conversations have dwindled into shouting matches and "people's court" cases posts and reposts of articles that align with our minds to which we assign absolute truth with no consequences where we want to prove that our might is right your wrong is strong and always have both our say ... and our way but civil discourse - especially between dissenters - promotes growth it helps both parties see that they are two points diametrically opposed on the same circle and that preservatio...

Dear Hannah- I aspire to be a five-tool+ "standup storyteller" (AKA "griot") - poet, rapper, singer, teacher, orator, writer, producer, director. I am still learning how to use my tools, but I am getting there. LEarn to use your gifts. Love, Daddy

Dear Hannah - As the name suggests, The People In My Neighborhood (TPIMN) is a project that helps me learn more about where I live. It began as an effort to organize the neighbors in our subdivision, then grew into an effort to learn about our adjacent communities - then their adjacent communities, etc. It has grown into a powerful storytelling tool. Love, Daddy

Dear Hannah - Nine Men's Morris is an ancient board game combining the speed of checkers, the strategy of chess and the simplicity of tic-tac-toe. It is easy to play, but difficult to master. Become a master. Love, Daddy

Dear Hannah - Vision, Mission, and Steps provide a path that helps you to walk in your life's purpose. Vision describes what your efforts will produce / create - it describes your "end". Mission describes the concrete path to your vision - it describes your "means". Steps describe specific projects and tasks required to navigate that path - your "who", "what", "when", "where", "why", and "how". Write these - so that whomever reads it may run with it. Love, Daddy
