Proud Associate Director Corporate Communications at @unisouthampton.bsky.social Tweeting about the place and the people. I love latte and 🥕 cake.

If you find🎄 hard due to grief,trauma,family stuff,wonky self esteem,neurodivergence &/or an urge to throw Christmas down the loo, become a reclusive pagan & maybe make a small hat out of mistletoe at a push,then hi,me too.Here are some good twigs & I’m sending gentle thoughts. It’s only a few days🌿

Happy Solstice, Bluesky lovelies! As the light returns, may people round the world, allow it to enlighten our hearts & minds & actions with kindness & empathy. Each new day,is a new opportunity for each one of us to share light, in our own way. ☀️🕊️♥️
