Doctor Thayne talks about the importance of Gratitude. He briefly goes over how it began with the Pilgrims in the Autumn 1621 and how Abraham Lincoln officially made it a national holiday during the height of the civil war. He explains how gratitude will literally bring you fortune. He shares a story of a young man in a wilderness treatment program one Christmas.

Dr. Tim Thayne interviews his wife and business partner, Roxanne Thayne. They discuss their vision for a Not By Chance Yearbook. She describes how this periodical that is full of authentic personal narratives, poetry, creative prompts and beautiful photography is focused on creating an intentional family life.
