We clothe ourselves in jealousy. We are outraged if someone else has something we don’t have. We think our world is on a pinnacle and despises anyone who we believe is jostling to edge us out of our position. Believing that what another person does is antithesis to our survival keeps us stagnated. Instead of […]
We all look at life from different perspectives. If our fathers, mothers, our children, relatives and friends neglect us, it’s on them and no one else. If we are hurting we should go within and heal ourselves. Transferring pain through aggression onto others is unconscionable. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. The question I hate to be asked is: Where are you from? People seem to think that they possess the ability to grade others according to where they are from. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Instead of having a jealous eye we should pursue and accomplish our own purpose. Time is short, now is the opportune time for us to accomplish that which we were destined […]
