This episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Big Daily Blend” Show celebrates National Gratitude Month, National Thank You Letter Month, and National Thank You Letter Day (November 14).

We’re joined by Carew Papritz, award-winning author of "The Legacy Letters" and creator of National Thank You Letter Day (& Month) — a November tradition that encourages handwritten thank-you letters to strengthen literacy, nurture gratitude, and bring people together.

Co-hosted by Johnny Schaefer @hearjohnny , award-winning vocalist and composer, this conversation explores how gratitude and handwritten letters can foster connection, community, and positive change. The discussion highlights simple ways families, classrooms, and communities can participate in this meaningful movement and share appreciation in creative ways.

The episode concludes with a brief discussion of the Yellow Feather Movement, which encourages standing up for what’s right, tying gratitude to social awareness and action.
