Safe Space
Our safe space resides within us. It’s the space where we can be honest with ourselves, face our demons and resolve to be a better human being. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Trust
We have to trust ourselves fully knowing that we can’t judge people using our value system as a determining factor. People are multifaceted, even those within our family. Get to know the people you associate with. Observe their behaviour. Are they prolific liars? Do they have sticky fingers? Do they break their promises? Remember trust […]
Forgive
Some of us are very calculating, we use religion as an excuse for our diabolical ways. The burden of shame is not on the victims, it’s on the perpetrators. Forgiveness is not required of victims, it is for the perpetrators, they have to forgive themselves, show contrition and amend their way of life. © Norma […]
Limits
In order to avoid disappointment we have to put limits on what we are prepared to do for our wife/husband, children/grandchildren, relatives and friends. If we don’t we would create a dependency on our time and resources. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Worshipping
We all have gods that we worship, whether it be a deity, money, possessions, or status. We create idols unto ourselves forgetting that our time here is short. What we need to ask ourselves is: Why are we building storerooms to hold our ill gotten gains? We will eventually exit this existence as empty handed […]
Love
Love is a verb, its not a word to bandy around, it comes with responsibilities attached to it. It’s easy to love when things are easy peasy, the reckoning comes when we have to exert more time and energy into the person or persons who need our undivided understanding and support. Love can soften us […]
Deceit
Feigning interest in someone when all we feel for them is hate is a reflection of our inhumanity and rapaciousness. Sowing and reaping is interconnected with how we feel, what we say, and what we do. Thoughts and words casts spells. We have to be wary about harbouring spite, ill will and jealousy, it ricochets […]
Who are We?
When we know who we are we can’t be regulated, insulted or negated. Knowledge of self frees us to draw on the wisdom of our ancestors. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
For Sale
There is a myriad of reasons why we sell ourselves. One of the reasons might be to fit in, gain notoriety, or being paid an amount of money we just can’t refuse. We jive for scraps because of our failure in recognizing our worth. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
The Mold
There is no mold, none of us are born into a deified position of superiority over those we consider inferior. We, the oppressed, twist ourselves into a variety of shapes in order to fill the role defined by our oppressors. What we fail to remember is that no matter what shape we twist ourselves in […]
