Thank you so much. I love listening to your book - it's really special hearing it narrated by you. I'm coming up to half way and have been totally swept away by how you've set the scene, described the relationships and such rich characterisations. I am already angry, sad, happy, hopeful and hurt and I have so much more to go! It's a gift x
This was such a beautiful read Emma, and a huge congratulations on a year here. It really is a magical space! I so enjoyed getting to know you more through this writing, and I also know at least one other person with that same phobia!!!!! Xx
Happy anniversary! Thanks for the recommendation of "Welcome to the Hyunam Dong Bookshop" - I binged it today and found it as comforting as a cup of chai made by a good friend.
Yeah Happy birthday to Lemon Soul Emma! Many of my favourite writers joined about the same time as me, it's so lovely to see how everyone has grown. In celebration of all that you are and looking forward to seeing more! x
Aah thank you Vicki, you are such a great support. I hugely appreciate you being part of this. I need to work out one day how to not be doing quite so much - but it gives me a lot to write about! Sending much love across the world xx
I’d love to see all those masterclasses - one each a month?!
And the q&a too pleeeeease
Healing fiction ….id really love to write one of my own! There’s a book called 12 lessons written by a north east author, that must be considered the same.
Love all your work, all your ideas, you’re amazing 🤩🤩
I know right? I love that there's a genre called Healing Fiction!! I don't know that it's lesson driven but I would love to look up that book - it feels like narrative accounts of inspiring and heartwarming characters. I think it's a genre I am very drawn too.
Thank you my darling, love you and all your support, and back atchya 💕
It’s a brilliant (easy) read about a woman whose life falls apart and ends up on a journey towards what she wants and most desires, learning all the lessons along the way ✨
Happy anniversary to you and congratulations on the beautiful, heartfelt and welcoming space you have created. It has been wonderful to find you and I am so looking forward to getting to know you better through your words. Also I am extremely excited about your book!! xx
Aah lovely Lyndsay, thank you so much. I am absolutely delighted to have met you and that you find this a welcoming space. I feel like we have MUCH to connect on 🫶
Happy anniversary, dear Em. How fortunate it is for me that I discovered you and your wonderful always thoughtful posts. I can see where you get your gusto from...your Mom is amazing, as is your husband and of course the lovely girls. Here's a virtual toast to you and the great success the book will be. I can't wait to read it.
Oh lovely Frances. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your support, You lift me more than I can say. Thank you, and cheers to you my friend. Perhaps one day it will be a real toast in person!! Much love xxx
Oh Susan, I am beyond happy that we reconnected through here. What an extraordinary world it is. You are a beautiful soul and I look forward to talking tea with you.
Absolutely love this hero page Emma. Makes me think I need to start getting my mojo back for Substack. I have loved watching you grow yours over the last year ❤️❤️❤️
Happy anniversary and so pleased you’re enjoying my book! Such a pleasure to get feedback.
I haven't come across your book before Lily, but I'm inspired to read it from Emma's review 😀
Thank you Vicki! I really hope you enjoy it!

Congratulations darling Emma! Your words over the past year have been all of the following to read:
Joyous, heartbreaking, hugely funny, never dull and always, ALWAYS inspirational - thank you sweetheart!
I will hopefully be chatting with you soon about tea and the infinite joy it brings to our souls.

Yes to getting your mojo back Jo!! Will be cheering you on all the way 💕
Love this so so much! What a great introductory post. 👏👏
By the way, I have the opposite phobia to you, especially when it came to my toddler’s lovely big bellies. 😍
🤣🤣🤣 oh no…not the belly buttons 🤣
Oh yes! I’ve been known to rub some of my kids’ bellies if they let me! 😂😂😂
To be honest it’s more about mine - no one can go near it 🤣🤣.
