    Dear Hannah: LEarning (Hang In There (See It Through, See Through It))

    Dear Hannah, we can both reach the finish line by helping each other  train and pace to run our own race but to run it right we need to both pack light to push some major freight and pull our own weight so hang in there when it  doesn't go your way hang in there when you have  to say "bye bye" sometimes to people, places, habits,  and ideas that hinder more than they help sometimes you have to  see it through ... and sometimes you have  to see through it ...

  6. Dear Hannah: LEarning (Reconciliation (Not Done Yet))

    JAN 5 · VIDEO

    Dear Hannah: LEarning (Reconciliation (Not Done Yet))

    Dear Hannah, The road to reconciliation starts with ... realization (of both the might and the plight), respect (both spiritual essence and natural function), reassurance (of commitment to the corrective plan and path - don't ask for trust ... EARN IT), and REAL relationship (dealing with each other as EQUALS). We've got a long way to go ... ... because we keep trying to start at the finish line ... ... and often label voices of reason as voices of treason ... ... but 'tis the season ... ... to answer folly ... ... defeat conceit ... ... then rinse and repeat. We are not done yet. Love, Daddy (Author of "A Long Walk … Towards Care, Concern, Respect, and Advocacy")
