Ruby, ruby, ruby. July starts the second half of the year with a bang, and its birthstone (my birthstone and favourite gem if anyone is feeling flush) is the ruby symbolizing contentment. Do you have contentment with your content, or still in need of prompts and a chat about how to shine online? I ran a free clinic at Cup19 on the 7th July buy a cuppa and prepare to shine online.
If you just need a hug it’s International Free Hugs Day 01/07/2023. If you are a fan of Wallace & Gromit it’s also The Wrong Trousers Day.
If sport is your thing then 01/07/2023 to 23/07/2023 is the Tour de France and 03/07/2023 to 10/07/2023 is Wimbledom. Will it rain? Will Cliff sing? Will the Middleton sisters look immaculately groomed and enthralled. Will my friend Dawn’s tennis mad Mum throw anything at the TV in frustration?! Who knows?!
World Chocolate Day melts its way to 07/07/2023 and it’s one of my favourite days of the year on the 25/07/2023 – Wine and Cheese day 🍷🧀. It’s also National Picnic Month and on a more serious note 03/07/2023 to 09/07/2023 is Alcohol Awareness Week. If you need any further information or support with your relationship with alcohol then please do reach out for help. The whole of July is given over to the Samaritans Talk To Us awareness campaign to remind people that they are for anyone who needs their help. 24/07/2023 is also Samaritans Awareness Day.
12/07/2023 is World Simplicity Day, in a world that never stops, perhaps we all need to keep it more simple. I can certainly help you simplify your content.
