Here’s Penelope, my monster from yesterday, with good advice.

Yesterday’s Monster

Meet Jane.

She’s got some good advice about being nervous.

Black text beneath her reads “Jane is reminding herself that it’s ok to be nervous when things are really important to her…or anytime really. SheMs being kind to herself about it and she hopes you will, too.

Thursday Monster

This is also a note to self.

I forget to rest sometimes.

Saturday’s Monster

A blue and purple teardrop shaped monster with black tendrils

“Go ahead and feel your feelings,” She says, “Let them wash over you like a wave and they will pass.”
She knows it isn’t easy to do but it will get easier in time.

As I said on Instagram:

Some advice from Terri today.

You want to use good judgement with how you express your feelings but accepting/understanding/feeling them is the only way to deal with them.

Be kind to yourself out there, please.

Today’s Monster

I’m a bit tired and grumpy today and so is today’s Monster.


Image description: a drawing of an orange monster with tendrils on top of her head. She has a blue blanket over her shoulders and is holding a grey teddy bear. One of her eyes is bigger than the other and her mouth is a bumpy line which makes her look a bit disgruntled. Black text on the right reads:
Penny is feeling a bit grumpy today
so she’s cuddling up with her favourite blanket and her teddy bear. When the world feels hard, she tries to find as much softness as she can
She hopes you will too.
