Hi! I saw an intro post like below and loved it, so here’s mine.

The ‘About’ page I mention, too medium.com/@emmarosepur...

Plus, an ‘About’ note touching on loneliness I used to feel medium.com/purposeful-w...

If you have an intro you’re welcome to share below🌹😊

P.S. 100+ trees planted so far 🌳

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!

Yes to bringing on enjoyable ‘good enough‘ creativity!

That’s a cool saying! We are thanks, husband and children are all well and happy. I’m thankful!

Glad to hear you’re both healing up ♥️

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! 💜

Emma Rose 🌹Purposeful Poetry @emmarosepoetry.bsky.social · 1d

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 💜🫶

Emma Rose 🌹Purposeful Poetry @emmarosepoetry.bsky.social · 1d

You’re welcome, Gina 💜

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

Hi Keyser, hope your healing well, if not fully recovered by now xo

A life that’s well lived?
Is a life full of loving
much laughter
fulfilment?
Our ‘end goal’?
Life well lived?
