Credits: Almost a full year in the making, Jeanne MacLaughlin and myself,Barb Horton, also known asThe JaJa's - have never spent this much time on a single song. The really beautiful thing, is that all involved in the project took the vow to be the change. So many people contributed to this song – beginning with our ascended teachers including my father, Paul Frei, Sr., and Rev. Joel Baehr, all of whom helped shaped us into the people necessary to bring this project to life. Of course, most special thanks to Ray & Lyn Madaghiele, who challenged us, lit a fire under us to write this special song, inspired by his book (Ray of Hope: Inspiring Peace), his teachings and his amazing #IAMARAYOFHOPE campaign. For more on Ray & Lyn, and their amazing journey, please visit http://www.RayofHopeInspiringPeace.com. From Creative Living Fellowship, thanks also to Rev. Dr. Michele Whittington and Greg Peterson and his work related to GreenFaith.org who inspired some important modifications to the lyrics, and to Rev. Lonnie Whittington for his beautiful artwork for our release. Thanks to the spiritual communities of our sister churches - Unity of Mesa and Creative Living Fellowship.

Special thanks to Babylyne Isa. She is such a powerful STAND for community, that the very night she showed up to the studio, the stars began to align, people kept their promises and showed up, and within 7 days the project was done. In a moment of inspiration, we invited Babylyne to write and perform the amazing “Prayer Rap” in the middle of the song, and she took it on without a moment of hesitation. Thank you, Danke, Grazie, Mahalo... there are insufficient words in the universe to express my gratitude to you. And thanks to Ke`ala Kwan, from Babylyne’s community - he is the Hawaiian Languages Department Head at the Kamehameha Schools, for his guidance and support. Most of all, thanks to each of you who choose to take the vow with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you GOD – for bringing us together as one global community. I am, You are, We are, a Ray of Hope! And So it Is!!! Blessings and Peace – The JaJa’s
