Dear All

Hello

Today is the start of the Chinese New Year.
The year of the Tiger.

It is celebrated not only in China but all over the world.

Homes are cleaned to banish bad luck and to let good fortune into lives. The focus is on the family and sharing meals, for reconcilation, letting go of grudges and wishes for peace.
The colour red is used for new clothes and for decorations.

Also, today is a new moon. A time for focusing on putting plans into action and taking a fresh look at things.

Take care all
Very best wishes
