🎉 Why I Gave Up New Year’s Eve Parties for Sunrise
Over a decade ago, I stopped celebrating New Year’s Eve the usual way. (That's a story I will tell soon on the channel via a video.) No more midnight countdowns. No more noise, glitter, or groggy January 1sts. Instead, I started something that still gives me life and meaning each year: 🌅 I get up and watch the first sunrise of the year. Every January 1st, I pick a new location, rise early, and watch the sun come up. Sometimes I go alone. Sometimes others join. But it’s always a special moment. It’s how I choose to mark new beginnings — not with champagne and noise, but with quiet, hope, and light. It wasn’t just a random choice. There was a specific moment that made me shift from midnight to morning. From man’s clock to what I call God’s clock. For me, the new year truly begins when the first light shines the first morning. This year, I want to invite you to join me. ☀️ On January 1st, find a place to watch the sunrise. 📸 Take a photo or short video. 📩 Send it to me — let’s start the year connected in meaning, not just tradition.
