In this episode of Randy Unscripted, I share the story of Sarah Josepha Hale, the woman whose decades-long advocacy helped Abraham Lincoln establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday in 1863. From her role as editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book to her persistent appeals to presidents and governors, Hale believed that a shared day of gratitude could strengthen families and unite the nation. Her story reminds us that quiet, faithful effort can leave a lasting mark and that gratitude is both a personal and cultural practice.
