The Chinese New Year is approaching on January 22, 2023, and I am excited for the new year. I get excited about new beginnings even if they are not specifically addressed to me. I just feel like in some way I am part of it the celebration since I live among the Asian communities in the bay area.
It is the Year of the Rabbit, therefore, is expected to promote strengthened bonds with loved ones as well as expanded connections with friends, family, and colleagues. It is even considered auspicious to start a family in 2023.
