Written and produced by Nimo Patel and Daniel Nahmod.

Musicians Nimo Patel and Daniel Nahmod brought together dozens of people from around the world to create this beautiful, heart-opening melody. Inspired by the 21-Day Gratitude Challenge, the song is a celebration of our spirit and all that is a blessing in life. For the 21 Days, over 11,000 participants from 118 countries learned that “gratefulness” is a habit cultivated consciously and a muscle built over time. As a famous Roman, Cicero, once said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” This soul-stirring music video, created within a week by a team of volunteers, shines the light on all the small things that make up the beautiful fabric of our lives.

    I live alone but I am NEVER alone! This song lit me up this morning and reminded me of the innumerable things and all the precious people I am thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. (That includes Nimo and Daniel and everyone in this circle of love...) Thank you!! XO

    Great song! So much positive energy. As a musician myself, I know it`s very easy to get caught up in one`s own little world and spend your days thinking about what you don`t have (money, a certain music technique, etc.). It`s wonderful to see these two step away from that "trap" and be able to recognize how much they truly have. You`re an inspiration!

  • Lynn Assimacopoulos

    This film is full of acceptance of everyone around the world no matter where they come from and understanding that each of us are important to one another. We must not be prejudice because of a persons skin color, language or where they live on this earth. As God accepts us we need to accept all others and treat each other with kindness.

  • Ann C

    Grace to be grateful. Gratitude to feel joy. Joy to move us. We are one uniting our spiritual and physical self; one with the world; one with the universe; with one another; and one through, with and in God.

    It awakened my to a new idea: People from all over the world could communicated with each other if we all learn American Sign Language. I know it would be American, but we'd have to choose one form or another. ASL could allow people to speak with each other without spoken language. I LOVE THE IDEA!

    There is so much we should be grateful for that allows us to feel and have meaningfulness in our daily living that doesn't need the gadgets and trinkets of contrived consumerism. Thankyou for this song that reverberates with the spirit of gratefulness!

  • Mark

    I often think of the Internet as just a continuous loop of National Enquirer-like headlines and negativity. This video made me weep and filled my heart and body and mind with the most warm sensation that a computer has ever produced. It is an antidote to the miasma that has filled the "airwaves" this last year of the you-know-who. The name that needs no naming. Love to all. Thank you. Peace

  • Judy

  • Claudette

    I am grateful all the opportunities I have had and to the people that have made them possible.

  • DENNIS

    This is great, how ever there is no mention of God from whom all these blessings come. Is God no longer cool , or “PC”? What if someone wanted to thank you for your goodness, but only mentioned your works and not your name? This message needs a Target, and that’s The Father and The Son... they are worthy of this wonderful recognition!😀

  • Joan

    We live in a time of such fear when many would have us believe that "the other", the stranger is our enemy. This reminded me that our diversity is what we can celebrate rather than trying to protect and alienate ourselves from the rest of our brothers and sisters. Thank you...
