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. Want to join me?

While everyone’s path here is different, two core passions are pulling us together: ✅ Exploring the journey of creating a YouTube channel (yes, now is a perfect time to start — no matter your age) ✅ Making the most of how life has turned out — especially in this “retired, but not done yet” phase This is a space for honest conversation, creativity, trying new things, and finally doing the stuff you said you’d do once you had the time.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more ways to connect, learn, and support each other. For now, jump in and introduce yourself with a twist: 👉 What’s one thing you always thought you’d do in retirement but haven’t yet?
