The Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace and prosperity in Chinese culture…

It begins today…Year of the Rabbit…Another chance…

Twenty-two days into 2023, and another New Year beginning to hopefully get it on track…it is predicted that 2023 will be a year of hope…

Hope is sorely needed, especially looking back on the last twenty-one days of 2023.

It is a universal hope that humankind will take more steps forward instead of continuously and swiftly opting to take humongous steps backward…into the primitive recesses of human evolution…

So many opportunities to forge ahead…to change…to progress…to become the best of ourselves!

Lunar New Year celebrations traditionally last for 16 days…from Lunar New Year’s Eve to the Lantern Festival.

More than 2 billion of the world’s population celebrate Lunar New Year…Countries that have public holidays during this time include China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, North Korea, Singapore and Brunei.

The rabbit is a very strong symbol for peace…

We can all work to bring about peace in our lives…and in the world around us…and beyond.

Not many have the opportunity of second chances…yet…here we are…a second chance at a new beginning in the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit…

Take a deep breath…give thanks…and give peace a chance by reaching out and becoming that crucial element that ignites the torchlight of peace…in touching and changing the lives that cross your path each day.

Peace has another beginning…with you.
