Hi SANE community,

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐯

Lunar New Year, or as some refer to as Chinese New Year, falls on the 1st of February in 2022. We're taking this opportunity to acknowledge the parts of our diverse community who celebrate this event, and to also invite all to take part in a fun discussion!

This year is the year of the Tiger. The Tiger is a Chinese zodiac that represents bravery, determination, and confidence. It is the "king of all animals" and therefore people born in the year of the tiger are said to be suited to be leaders.

But of course those who were not born in the year of the Tiger also have these traits- so for this discussion we'd love to hear and celebrate a time or moment when you felt brave, determined and confident!

We recognise that we are all at different points in our recovery and our lives, and so our experiences will look unique to each of us. Please remember to be kind and respectful - you can view the community guidelines here 💛

Appropriately for this year - i have decided to resign from my job and oursue something i am interested in and see what i can do. This was brave because it is a measured risk.

@greenpea I love that! It does take bravery and determination to walk out the door each day 💛

[cloudcore]

@MDT that must have been quite a daunting decision! Leaving a job takes a lot of bravery and  confidence (confidence that you will find something better for yourself). Proud of you for taking that step! 💛
