Our Chief Happiness Officer has shared a great take on the upcoming Year of the Snake, and we couldn’t agree more!
In Western culture, snakes often get a bad rap, but in this context, the snake represents transformation, resilience, and the courage to chase after what you want. It’s about shedding bad energy — like a snake shedding its skin — and moving forward with clarity and purpose.
We love this image because it’s not just a cutesy hello kitty cartoon version — it’s a real snake, symbolizing the grit and boldness required to do what we do every day, both professionally and personally.
Wishing everyone and Eligon an excellent year ahead!
Our snake has a busy year ahead, clearing out bad energy — we have some baggage from 2024 to leave behind!
