An illustration featuring four bright rainbow coloured flower shapes arranged loosely on a clean white background. Each flower is filled with textured diagonal rainbow stripes in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple with a speckled hand drawn look. Each flower contains part of a message in bold black handwritten text that reads together: “Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t make a difference.” The artist credit “@Anxiety.Positive” appears beneath the bottom left flower.
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” William James.
You make more of a difference than you realise.
You show up, you try, you care…. what you do matters. You matter.

Here we are again, with the newest weekly development report from my #opensource projects: a roguelike game and Nuklear GUI library binding to #Nim language got some changes this week. More information: www.laeran.pl.eu.org/blog/devblog...
Stay safe and have a nice weekend, everyone. 😄
Illustration of a soft, pastel landscape with a rounded green hill in the foreground, dotted with small white and yellow flowers and simple bushes. The hill has a smiling face in the centre and a patch of cream-coloured snow on top. Behind it, a rainbow with pink, orange, yellow, green, and purple arcs sweeps across the sky, also with a smiling face. The sky is turquoise with pale clouds and small yellow stars scattered around. The overall tone is gentle and uplifting, with a friendly, comforting style reminiscent of children’s picture books. The text on the illustration reads: “Some days will test you more than others; sometimes you’ll be able to rise to the challenge, other times you will need to step down and preserve your strength. Both are brave & valid.” Art by Laura jane illustrations
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” Audre Lorde.
Some days take more energy than we planned for. Some days ask us to pause instead. Both are part of being human, and both deserve gentleness rather than judgement.🧡

A bright turquoise background with a simple hand drawn illustration of three dandelions at different stages of growth. One is a fluffy white seed head with fine black detailing. One is a yellow dandelion with a smiling face drawn in the centre. One is a closed bud tilted slightly to the side. All three grow from a cluster of long green leaves that spread outwards. Small purple heart icons sit near the dandelions. To the right of the illustration is the text: “It’s okay if you don’t feel strong all the time. (please don’t beat yourself up for it) SelfLoveRainbow”. The overall tone is gentle and reassuring, with a clean, simple, uplifting style.
“Be gentle with yourself. You are doing the best you can.” Paulo Coelho
Some days don’t feel easy. We are more than allowed to have those moments without judging ourselves.
You’re still showing up in ways that matter.

A bright, uplifting digital illustration on a white background. The heading reads “You are allowed to:” in bold black text beside a yellow smiling face. Beneath it, colourful shapes each hold handwritten phrases: red for “sleep in late,” blue for “change plans,” orange for “make a new decision,” purple for “treat yourself,” yellow for “take breaks,” green for “stop feeling guilty,” turquoise for “say no,” pink for “say yes” and “talk about your struggles,” and lilac for “not have answers.” The style feels warm, friendly, and encouraging, reinforcing permission, care, and self-compassion. Artwork by @Anxiety.Positive, shown in the bottom left corner
“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” Jack Kornfield
You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to choose differently.
You’re allowed to care for yourself, too. 🧡

An uplifting digital illustration featuring bold, hand-painted black text that reads “Today is a perfect day to be really proud of the progress you’ve made!” Each word sits over wide, curving bands of bright rainbow colours that flow horizontally across the background — hot pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. The overall mood is positive, cheerful, and encouraging, with a sense of movement and warmth. The artwork feels playful yet meaningful, celebrating self-appreciation and progress.

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” A.A. Milne
You’re clever, capable, and growing all the time. You’ve done more than you realise, and you’re doing brilliantly.

May we find calm in strength, kindness in courage, and gentleness in how we show up.

November may be asking a little more of us… if it’s feeling a little heavier, slower, or just a bit off… that’s maybe a chance to choose #SelfCare

We forget sometimes that being human means feeling it all…the mistakes, the emotions, the learning, the love.
