Some news from me

Hey Community,
I wanted to share some news with you, which is that I’m going to be leaving the Community Team in January, and will be moving to another team here at The Mix/MHI. I’m super excited to get started in my new role, but as you can imagine it comes with a bunch of mixed feelings too!
Leaving Community feels incredibly strange, as in total I have volunteered and worked here for over four years. In that time I've learned a huge amount about myself, you folks, the challenges you face, and just how powerful online connection can be.
I feel extremely proud and lucky to have been a part of this space, and to have played even a small role in some of your journeys. It’s been a really precious experience seeing you consistently show up for each other, hold space, and treat each other with genuine care and consideration. You’re each on your own path, and even when your experiences differ, you still listen, support and look out for each other. That’s incredibly special.
This Community wouldn't be what it is without you folks, and I'd like to gently remind you to keep reaching out here. You deserve support, to be heard, and to feel connected.
My final day won’t be until the new year - I just wanted to share this with you now as I'm mindful I have a few days off coming up and I also wanted to share this before the Christmas rush! So, if I don’t chat to you before the new year, please take good care of yourselves. It’s been a huge pleasure being a part of this.

Right back at you too - I hope everything goes well for you as well! Those Sunday chats often make my week and also leave me feeling very hungry !
@Nemuritai thank you so much for the kind words and the well wishes - this is so lovely. I hope you have a super great Christmas !
@Redemption ah I also remember our first chats - that feels like such a long time ago! You've grown so much as a person since you first joined us and it's been really getting to see you do that. You're completely right that whilst I won't be around in the sessions from January, I will definitely be cheering you all on the background. Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm also wishing you a great Christmas and New Year! I'll definitely be in some of the sessions in the last couple of weeks of December so you'll see me around!
I think I remember you were one of the first mods I probably met when I joined here. I always remember seeing your toothless profile picture and seeing one of my comfort character really helped me a lot. I love toothless as well and I'm sure he is looking forward to going on a new adventure. Speaking of toothless I got both him and light furry but in fidget toy format so I kinda of also got him too hehe.
Honestly wishing you all the best for your new adventures eventhough I know your not too far. Have a free 🍪 for being an amazing friend
