Welcome friends!
I'm Julie Boyer, and for the past eight years I've been chasing sunrises (and the occasional aurora) on Vancouver Island — phone camera in hand, gratitude journal close behind.
A decade ago, a life-threatening bacterial infection put me in a medically induced coma for a week. I came out with one truth I haven't shaken since: every day is a gift. This calendar is that practice, distilled — a year of sunrise photographs, each paired with a few words of gratitude to slow you down and remind you to notice.
Join me in choosing to wake up with gratitude. Every single day.
