About

Hi, I'm Emma ~ a Mom, Poet, Mental Health First Aider and more.
Here I share a mix ~ including self-care and mental health tips.
Plus, climate care info and (of course!) poems.

Some of my chatty notes and relatable poems are on Medium. I occasionally share free 'gift links' if you aren't a Medium member, yet love to read beyond small talk.

My words are especially for you if you're loving, lonely or longing for a better world.

As you're still reading, you're likely like me, and like to know folks more deeply!

Here's a few things you might like to know about why I share what I do here:

I care about self-care - and trained as a Mental Health First Aider - because sadly there's a history of suicide in my family.
Being mentally well is something I've worked to achieve. So, as I feel well most of the time, I like to share triedd tested info that can help us go from surviving to thriving.

I used to feel lonely - so developing healthy relationships that are mutually supportive and genuine is something I'm also thankful I’ve achieved. In a time where many feel disconnected, I like to share about connecting in healthy ways as I know how awful loneliness can feel, and how good it feels to overcome. If you’re reading this quietly (as l often used to), and feel lonely at the mo, I hope this gives you hope.

I care deeply about caring for our shared home - and mitigating climate change - as one subject I studied is
Environmental Science. Oh, and I've experienced climate change events - so that's how come, too.

Want to know more?

I'll pop a link to my Medium 'About' page in this post.

Plus an 'About' note I wrote sharing about loneliness I've felt, and more.

Lovely to be with you on Bluesky!

You are SO very welcome ☺️

I greatly appreciate your calm, steady presence, Mike. Words and images you share are beautiful ~ and then you add such lovely, uplifting encouragement and kind wishes 🫶♥️

Thank you, Suse 🥰

I sometimes think connections I make between photos I choose to share and poems I’ve written are a tad obtuse! Adding some context at times is fun and I figure may be helpful.

I hope you’ve been well lately?

I wish you well noticing all that’s beautiful in our world 🫶✨

Our natural inbuilt
survival instincts
tell us to notice
the bad stuff occurring

Consciously seeing what’s going well is one of my challenges!

A rock with several rocks around it. On the surface are leaves of various colours ‘sticking’ to the rock ~ of green, oranges and red. Photo chosen to symbolism how negativity sticks in our minds because of our natural inbuilt negativity bias we have to help us survive. However, we can consciously choose to notice what’s going well, too. Photo by the author of this poem and post, Emma Rose 🌹 Purposeful Poetry.

What a hopeful quote and thought to hold close being shared by Mike.

If you aren’t following Mike yet I suggest you consider doing so.

He often shared quotes that are helpful ~ with kind wishes for lovely days that I appreciate greatly ♥️

You might, too?

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Have yourself a most excellent day! ❤️

Successful and satisfying sounds deeply fulfilling dear Gina 💜

Perfection‘s overrated
It’s okay to be
Imperfect
We’re humans
Not meant to be machines

#Poem #ImageAndVerse #Enjoy #Writing #Photography

You’ll see imperfection in #poems I write. Yes some are polished, yet some are raw! #Photos I share also hold imperfections

Who else loves human #creativity ? 💜

Hey Wildflower, it’s lovely to hear your view on this!

It helps give us a roadmap in a way, if we’re taught to discover what we’re naturally good at, and then work with those talents to help us and others around us, it’s a win-win! 💜
emmarosepoetry.bsky.social
Oh, of course Keys, you’re welcome. It sounded like a biggish bump when it happened. It’s good the surface has healed, the deeper can take a little longer. Our bodies are miraculous the way they heal! I‘m hoping you find ways for your hip and shoulder to feel at ease soon, and easily 💜🫶

You’re welcome, Gina 💜

I hope your day ahead holds multiple moments of joy and peace ~ or however you personally want to feel today 💐
