The first people to celebrate the New Year is the Kiritimati Island, Caroline Atoll, one of the 33 islands that make up the Republic of Kiribati (pronounced KIH-rih-bahss).ironically the islands of Niue and American Samoa, which are southwest of Kiribati in the South Pacific, are the last inhabited places to celebrate the New Year. not far in distance (although i wouldn't want to swim it!) they are a whole day apart.
Whether you are starting your day, your career, or your healing journey "later" than the person next to you—it doesn't make your progress any less real. Comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20 is the fastest way to lose your peace. Trust your own clock. 🕰️
The sun doesn’t rise at the same time for everyone, everyone's timing is different.
Whatever your timing is for starting or creating this new year, let me wish you a very good one.
