Hi, it’s fab to have you pop by :) 

*I expect you’re here to find out what you'll receive from me... when you read words I‘ve written!*

Well, I'm Emma 🌹 a Wife, Mom, Poet and Writer. I have a scientific background, am Mental Health First Aid trained and more.   
  
And notes I end up sharing with you are a mix… because at times I write a note from my heart to yours, with the intention it holds helpful info for you, from my life experiences. On other occasions the words I share have arrived randomly, or when I've sat at my writing desk and found words flowing. I jot down channelled words 'raw', and then revisit later to see if they hold something helpful I‘d enjoy sharing. I ‘polish’ lightly and edit them enjoyably to make sure they make sense... and then share the notes in a few different locations. Including here on my website publicly. Also on Medium and Bluesky, and some are in a newsletter that’s a private note. You can choose to pay for those newsletter notes by subscribing [here](https://loveemmarose.com/#/portal/signup) for $5 a year, and help me [plant trees](https://loveemmarose.com/tree-donations/) in the process 🌳🌴🌲

*I always intend that the words I share help you in some way.* 

Topics I tend to touch on include caring for ourselves, each other and nature (you’ll discover why if you read on!). Other topics may appear tho', as it depends what I channel when words arrive randomly. Please note I try to be as kind, calm and loving as I'm able when I'm writing. However, thanks to healing old wounds at a deep level I show up as even more me (not only the 'good, sweet' girl I was trained to be!). 

*Maybe you relate?* 

I prefer to be real in the words I write, and this means I sometimes share what I (rightly!) feel angry about, or show emotions and parts of my life I've tended to keep hidden. Especially in my newsletter notes, that are more private. 

*I hope you also feel you can be your whole self?*

I’m thankful I've been seeing our world change in this regard. It isn't always welcome, yet it seems more and more folks are becoming more emotionally honest.  
  
*Have you noticed?*

*Do you also appreciate when people are?* 

If so we’ll likely get along! As honest emotional expression and Mental/Emotional health are something I frequently advocate for.

On occasions it’s possible you might also notice I write quite bluntly. I hope that doesn't scare you off! The times I do it's a deliberate choice, as it’s happened to me that a persons direct honesty has helped me see something I’ve been missing (and have needed to see!). I’ve recognised as I’ve got older that being kind doesn't always mean the 'lovely feeling' kindness we all like. *True* kindness may not feel kind in the moment (it's the kind I demonstrate when I'm saying no to my kiddos to a late night, for example!). Yet sometimes the kindest words I’ve said, and heard, have been the firm yet fair truth-telling that I share in my notes at times.  
  
I'll add that I'm a long-time lover of the following sentiment:

> "Be the Change You Wish to See in The World" - Gandhi

*Do you like it as well?*

I appreciate it helps keeps us accountable for our decisions, and shows us how we each choose to be in our world truly matters.

*Kind. Courageous*. *Loving. Brave.*

These are qualities I believe our world needs more of at the mo.

*You as well?* 

---

*Well, as you’re still here reading, I‘m guessing you’re like me, and like to get to know folks a bit better than small-talk level?*

Okay! I’ll share below a little of life experiences I’ve had, that’ll help you understand more about who I am and what you receive when you read my words. Plus, why I write, too…

*Let’s get into it!* 

You might like to know I grew up in a family that had a fair amount of dysfunction (honest truth-telling on related subjects is something I’ll touch on in newsletter notes at times… in a helpful way).

My past also included a leadership role at a young age, and I achieved academic and professional qualifications that added letters to my name. I bought myself a sports car, a nice home and enjoyed what some consider an admirable career in a respected profession. My heart tho’ led me in different directions.

*Perhaps you‘ve experienced similar?* 

If you have you’ll understand some of where I’m coming from. We are of course all unique with different life experiences tho’.

*Yet maybe you’ll discover we‘re pretty like-hearted, and share more similarities, as you keep reading?*

I’ll share that I’ve experienced social anxiety at times, that I feel thankful I’ve (mostly!) overcome. And that I choose to write with the purpose of helping us live in a more loving world. A calmer, healthier and more peaceful place than the kind I grew up in. This is a dream I have for all. Especially as I’ve thankfully mostly achieved this on a personal level, in the family I’ve created with my loving husband, and people I choose to surround myself with now. Many are the types of folks I see as being brave, loving and extraordinarily inspiring change-makers.

*Is the kind of world you’d like to live in calm, happy, healthy and equitable?*

Well here’s what I most want to share with you in this 'about' note (maybe the most important words here actually). It’s that I believe we’re all being called on to make decisions at the mo based on the following…

***Will we give in to fear, hate and division… or choose to be even more bravely loving with our own words and actions?***

I sincerely believe we all have power to help make our world more wonderful.

*You do for sure.*

*I am sure!*

As I reckon you're reading this now 'cos you're meant to be here... and I’m wondering as I write this if you’ve ever heard of the concept called [emotional contagion](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/emotional-contagion?ref=loveemmarose.com)? I'm sure you're likely aware that how we each choose to feel can ripple out to affect others?

*I'm curious to know tho’ if you‘ve ever fully recognised all of the power that you're holding… and whether you've realised you're here to make a difference, and have been gifted* ‘*unique to you’ abilities and life experiences to help you do so?*

I’m imagining what our world would be like now if we‘d all been encouraged from a young age to discover our own unique gifts and talents, and then been taught to work with them in enjoyable ways to help us *and* others thrive.   
  
*Wouldn’t this create a beautiful win-win world?* 

Where all are okay… and all our needs are being met.

*What if we’d all been taught to pursue this way of life?*

*How cool, hey?!?* 

Instead of chasing external (empty?) measures of success that seem to be what’s celebrated. Such as how we look on the outside, excessive wealth and status. And fancy (unnecessary*?*) possessions.

Ahem. *Just like I did.*

*Ah well, we live 'n learn don't we!* 

---

Well, anyways, I tend to digress… and ya know what… this is what you’ll find when you read the words I write, as I tend to write like I’m chatting with a dear friend (this is exactly how I show up with folks I love and trust in real life!). So, we may meander together… just like we’re having in-person conversations :)

---

Oh, and you might also like to know that when I polish words I write I’m tending to take into account info I’ve gathered thro’ a conventional and spiritual healing journey I began around two decades ago.

It’s had me working with complementary and alternative therapies at times, as well as Counsellors, a Psychologist and Psychotherapists. It’s healing that’s included inter-generational healing, and healing for my own childhood and adult traumas. Along with spiritual exploration. 

Plus, I tend to draw on my past work and additional (formal and informal) studies I enjoy as a life long learner. This all means I bring honest emotional expression, and metaphysical and scientific perspectives to what I share.

*And sometimes I just decide it’s best to get daft!* 

’Cos it seems to me we all need to enjoy our lives being lightened up with silliness at times :)

Especially now.

*Do you agree?*

---

It’s also likely you'll like my notes if you care about the serioussubject of mitigating climate change. As it’s a passion of mine I pursue. As well as my own climate care, I’ve asked companies (such as [Medium](https://medium.com/blog/how-medium-started-addressing-its-carbon-footprint-01ffeb9b3850?sharedUserId=loveemmarose&ref=loveemmarose.com)) to take better care of this planet we share. And I continue to be on a quest to do all I can with regard to this … tho’ please know I’ve learned it’s fine, and necessary, that we focus on joy as well. And it’s okay that we each climate care imperfectly. Rather than try to do it ‘right’… because perfectionism with climate care can tend to paralyse us.

*Don’t ask me how I know!* 

*So… are you feeling we're like-hearted?*

If so I invite you to [subscribe here](https://loveemmarose.com/#/portal/) to receive notes I write.

*You have options! The first is to subscribe free of charge. That means you receive the notes I write directly to your inbox that I also share publicly.*

*Another option is to pay $1 a month OR $5 a year ($5 a year is better value for you obviously*!*) and you receive notes where we get deeper into topics and you receive more help and more of the real me (the less polished version... versus how we all tend to show up a bit more in public settings!)*  
  
If you choose to pay I donate to plant a tree.

*So thank you for helping me climate care if you do so.*  
  
I decided a while ago to plant trees as one of my climate actions, as it’s an [effective nature based](https://www.nature.org/en-us/what-we-do/our-priorities/tackle-climate-change/climate-change-stories/reforestation-natural-climate-solutions/?ref=loveemmarose.com) solution, and to help highlight our care is required in an ongoing way. I do this whenever I share a poem I've written with one of my notes.

So far 352 trees have been planted (September 2026)

*How often will you receive notes if you pay?*

Well, as my children become older I expect I'll write more often, for now tho' I ebb and flow. I do promise to only send notes when I feel guided to and have something to share that can help you.

---

*Still here?*   
  
You’re for sure like me! Liking to get to know folks *far* more deeply.

Well, if you’ve already read notes I've written elsewhere, you may know some of what follows; however, something I like to understand is *why* people do what they do, so below are three reasons why I write the notes I do to you:

1) I advocate for self-care (and trained as a [Mental Health First Aider](https://mhfainternational.org/international-mental-health-first-aid-programs/?ref=loveemmarose.com)) because sadly there’s a history of death by suicide in my family. Another family member also attempted suicide.

*Writing is a way I help ripple out mental health care.*

2) I’ve felt desperately lonely at different times in my life for a variety of reasons. Developing healthy relationships that are mutually supportive and genuine is something I’m thankful I’ve achieved. So, in a time when many feel disconnected, I also occasionally share about healthy relationships because I know how good it feels to overcome overwhelming loneliness. 

*If you might be reading this quietly (as I often used to), and feel lonely at the mo, I hope knowing loneliness is possible to overcome gives you hope*

3) I care deeply about caring for our shared home and mitigating human-caused climate change damage, as one subject I studied in the past was Environmental Science. Plus, I’ve experienced terrifying-at-the-time climate change events.

*Have you experienced similar? Perhaps wildfires or wildfire smoke more often? Tornados, hurricanes or more severe storms that are happening more frequently? Maybe flooding?* 

*Or have you simply been noticing unusual weather for the time of year where you are?*

All are changes rooted in the fact us humans are still using too many fossil fuels.  
  
Well, I’ve learned that chatting about climate change *and* taking climate action reduces our rightful eco-anxiety. So every time I feel a spike of climate worry, I lessen it by adding a new action to what I do, and often find words flow on the topic.

*Does climate change concern you too?*

*Do you enjoy taking care of this planet?*   
  
All our large and small actions add up, I believe.

*If you ever want to help me climate care, you can choose at anytime to pay to* [*receive newsletter notes I share*](https://loveemmarose.com/#/portal)*, and I'll then donate to plant another tree.*

What you and I both choose to do makes a difference, I firmly believe this. As the late, great Jane Goodall said...

> You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make \~ Jane Goodall

Sometimes notes I share are polished, at other times they’re v imperfect and raw. They’re written to help you tho', and I hope you enjoy and receive what you need.

Thank you for reading today,  
Love, Emma 🌹♥️ 

  
P.S. It feels sad to add this; however, in this era of AI, I promise when you're reading notes I share, you're reading words I've written to you.

Trees clean the air we breathe and so much more | Photo by Emma Rose

**As of September 2026**  
Donations I've made equate to 352 trees being planted so far 🌳🌴🌲  
  
*Hi, are you like me (and* [*most people*](https://ourworldindata.org/climate-change-support?ref=loveemmarose.com)*), a tad or highly concerned about climate change? About harm being caused to this planet we all share? The risks to yourself, your family, other folks and wildlife?*

Well, I’ve discovered chatting climate care and taking action is easier than I thought. And one of my climate actions is donating to plant a tree for every poem I write and share publicly with my notes. On my website, Bluesky, Medium and in collaborations.

Plus, if you choose to pay to receive my notes, [I donate to plant a tree when you sign up.](https://loveemmarose.com/#/portal)

*Why?* 

This explains [why trees](https://onetreeplanted.org/pages/why-trees?g%5Fadtype=&g%5Fnetwork=o&g%5Fkeyword=onetree%20planted&g%5Fplacement=&g%5Fcampaignid=524024110&g%5Fadid=&g%5Fmerchantid=&g%5Fifcreative=&g%5Flocphysical=124665&g%5Fsource=%7Bsourceid%7D&g%5Fkeywordid=kwd-82946153073219:loc-32&g%5Fcampaign=account&g%5Facctid=611-028-5007&g%5Fpartition=&g%5Fproductchannel=&g%5Fproductid=&g%5Fifproduct=&g%5Flocinterest=&g%5Fadgroupid=1327113332041773&msclkid=e5226ba7f6bc1e3353a90124b10c0153&utm%5Fsource=bing&utm%5Fmedium=cpc&utm%5Fcampaign=Branded%20Search&utm%5Fterm=onetree%20planted&utm%5Fcontent=Branded%20Keywords) are effective. Plus, I studied Environmental Science at one time, have been adversely affected by severe storms, tornadoes and wildfire smoke, and have discovered that every time I experience a spike of eco-anxiety, it helps me feel calmer to add an additional climate care action to what I do already.

It's felt terrifying, at times, to shelter with my children in our basement during severe storm warnings. To be unable be outside safely breathing clean air during wildfire season.

*Have you experienced similar?*   
  
Well, donating to plant trees is one of the ways I try to help mitigate climate change, and help highlight care’s needed in an ongoing way.

![Six certificates from One Tree Planted. Each certificate has a tree sapling growing out of soil at the bottom right, with text saying how much each donation was for at the time. Since August 1st 2024 tree donations made equate to 352 trees being planted](https://loveemmarose.com/content/images/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-09-23-at-5.28.38---PM.jpeg)

A flower for you! Pink roses are said to symbolise thankfulness | Photo by Emma Rose

Hi! I have many folks I'm grateful to, so I'd like to share a thank you note here.

*People who've read my words and have chatted with me online while I've found my voice after a tough and lonely time, thank you to you.* 

I began writing on Medium a few years ago. That particularly helped me rediscover my voice after I'd taken a pause from sharing anything publicly. So thanks go to the people at Medium who make that place possible for many people like me, who love to read, learn, chat and/or write. Thank you to editors who’ve looked over my work, too. Plus, to a writer I’m thankful to have been invited to collaborate with. If you've ever read my shorter notes on Bluesky, and chatted with me there, a huge thank you to as well. 

*What I've seen shared there has often helped uplift me 💜*

Thank you's go to my grandparents as well. Who I wrote notes to as a child, and who, I now see, encouraged my writing, by writing back to me. My wonderfully supportive husband, who I give oodles of thanks to. My children, as well, who've changed my life in many wonderful ways 💗

There's also Jannis at '[Magic Pages](https://www.magicpages.co/?ref=loveemmarose.com)' (whose work has helped me make this '[Ghost](https://ghost.org/about/?ref=loveemmarose.com)' website happen). Chosen because Jannis clearly cares about what he does, and is cognisant about sustainability, with his websites working as much as possible on [renewable energy](https://www.magicpages.co/datacenters/?ref=loveemmarose.com#renewable-energy).

All the therapists I've worked with thro' the years, thank you to you. People who've taught me much and wise folks who've passed on their wisdom, too. The friends I've made in recent years local to me, and women who I'm in supportive, kind circles with. Those I laugh, dance, chat, learn and cry with. My family who made me who I am today. 

*So many thank you's!*

I'd like to add a note here to say that I put my heart and soul into words I write. So, if you've ever found yourself feeling better after reading words I share you can donate a one-off tip [here](https://ko-fi.com/loveemmarose?ref=loveemmarose.com) to say thank you. Or you can choose to pay to receive my notes in an ongoing way... and that's a way you can [help me climate care](https://loveemmarose.com/#/portal), as I donate to plant a tree if you choose this option.

*However, if paying is beyond your means, you're very welcome to read the notes I share on this website free of charge.*

Words of thanks and lovely moments I share with people who read my words mean the world to me. So, while I say a sincere and heartfelt thank you if you choose to pay or ever gift a monetary tip, I also greatly appreciate thank yous I receive in other ways. 

Thank YOU for being here and for reading today.  
Love, Emma ♥️
