The Lunar New Year is a time of new beginnings and joyous celebrations. It’s a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future with hope and optimism.

To welcome the Year of the Wood Snake and thank our dedicated colleagues in China, Sonia Smith, President of L&P Automotive, shared an inspiring Lunar New Year message on behalf of the Automotive Leadership Team. We’d like to share some of it with you:

“As we step into the Year of the Wood Snake, this is a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve been on together and look with optimism for what lies ahead in 2025. The past year has been another chapter in our industry’s story that demanded resilience, innovation, and teamwork. And as always, you rose to the challenge!

The Snake in Chinese culture symbolizes wisdom, intuition, and transformation – qualities that resonate deeply with our work in the ever-evolving automotive industry. This year, we are also guided by the Wood element, which represents growth, adaptability, and strength. These traits remind us of our ability to learn from the past, adapt to challenges, and grow stronger through change.

As we celebrate the Year of the Snake, we wish you and your families health, happiness, and prosperity. May this be a year of personal and professional growth, transformation, and success for all of us. Here’s to a remarkable 2025 – a year where we turn challenges into opportunities and dreams into achievements!”

Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year!

Today is World Kindness Day. On this day, we celebrate the power of kindness and how empathy, compassion, and care toward one another can build bridges to meaningful connections. At L&P, we value putting people first. When you prioritize others, you naturally engage in acts of kindness that build trust and create strong, lasting relationships.

Take time today to spread kindness and love. Here are a few ideas to get started.

Send an Appreciation Note: Think of someone who has positively impacted your life and send them a quick note, whether through email, handwritten, or left on their desk – tell someone you are thinking of them.

Pay Goodwill Forward: Start a ripple effect of kindness by doing something nice for someone and asking them to pay the kindness forward. It can be paying for someone’s coffee in the drive-through, simply carrying someone’s bags, or holding a door. Many times, a simple act of service can change the trajectory of someone’s day.

Volunteer: There are numerous causes that need the care and compassion of others. If you don’t know where to start, visit VolunteerMatch – a site that helps connect you to non-profit organizations in your area based on your interests.

Listen and Validate: Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for someone is to listen and allow a person to be seen and heard. Offering validation to someone who feels misunderstood, hurt, or scared can profoundly enhance their emotional well-being.

As we celebrate World Kindness Day at L&P, let’s remember that every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the power to make a significant impact.

November 11 is Remembrance Day. Today, we honor all those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms of others.
