Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We hope that you are having a beautiful holiday. Sitting down to our respective meals today, we will both be giving thanks for those who have become friends of One, Unified. We are very grateful for all of them. In turn we have asked some of the folks that we've interviewed in our first 6 weeks to share with us what they themselves are most thankful for today. We hope you'll enjoy seeing them again.
Wishing you a day filled with gratitude and joy...
Michelle, Noelle, & the many faces of One, Unified.

~I am thankful to still be alive.
-I am grateful that almost every night we sit down to eat as a family. I think this has been lost in many households. We say a prayer and thank God for our house, health, food, clothes, and pray for those who don't have (those things). Peace to all!
-I am grateful for family, friends and online shopping.
-On this Thanksgiving I am most thankful for Jah. I thought about this a lot. Of course when asked this question I think about my one and only daughter and how thankful I am for her-the amazing little person she is and that she's healthy. I think about all of the love and blessings I'm surrounded by and how thankful I am for them. But I know in my heart I wouldn't appreciate them and enjoy them and count those blessings if Jah hadn't touched my heart. I had spent my life searching, hoping wanting to feel something from the Creator. There were times I had given up. I was on my way and didn't know it. In 2011 I had a revelation and was touched by Jah. It was an intense and short experience but one that changed me forever. I'm not sure there's human words to explain but a lifetime of searching, questions, doubt and quite frankly living as kind of a lost soul came to an end instantly. From that day forth every aspect of my life has changed and I'm continually guided and led on the path and philosophies I know I'm meant to live. All of the many blessings I could list come from Jah and I'm so thankful he chose me and grateful for those blessings and the life I live and love and I'm blessed to share. Every day is Thanksgiving. Enjoy the Tofurkey. Jah Bless.

~ This year I am most grateful that my health has been improving.
~I'm thankful for many things. I have my family and friends. I have music that gets me through anything. With any of those I will always survive. And for the health of myself, my family, and friends. I pray for only good. Many are going through trials in their life, as am I, but hopefully with love and support, health is there for all of us- physical, mental, and spiritual.
~The cliché thing to say is I am thankful for my family, but it's true. My wife and my son are what make me so happy. I've been blessed with a great group of friends. I've been blessed with a charmed life.

~I'm of course thankful to have survived being in combat. I'm thankful for my friend, my wife, my rock, the person I could cry in front of about some of the bad things that still haunt me from that combat I survived.
I am thankful for all the history I've seen in my lifetime. I was born just 2 or 3 weeks after WWII. I was 18 when President Kennedy was assignated. I was 23 when RFK was killed, 24 when Dr. King was killed. There was Woodstock, man on the moon, the space shuttle, the space station, landing a rover on Mars and sending back pictures of the Martian landscape. I'm thankful that in 1965, driving to Columbia, I got to see a motel that had water fountains that had "WHITE ONLY' and one marked "COLORED", and now we have an African American President. Most of all I'm thankful for the opportunity to actually think about all that I'm thankful for, and for someone that actually wants to know.
~I am thankful to be alive. I survived a tour in Iraq. I survived a ruptured appendix when I was a teenager. I am thankful for my family and the support they give me. I am thankful for the men and women defending our country's freedom. Lastly, I am thankful for God, whom watches over me and provides me with the things I need.
~I am thankful for having so many things to be thankful for that I can't decide what I am most thankful for.
I don't think we could have said it better ourselves.
