Love

True love begins with self. If you are searching to find it you will never be whole. Nurture the love that is within you, love yourself fully and unconditionally. A person who is in love with self would never capitalize on the labour and resources of others. The world isn’t a stage, we aren’t actors, […]

Forecast

We have to become the forecaster in our lives. Our present choices dictates our future. We are the genies we so desperately seek. Hanging on to the coattails of another won’t create changes in our lives, it would only keep us in a state of dependency. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Control

Control doesn’t exist, what is at play is exclusion, ridicule, seclusion, intimidation and derision. How erudite do we stand when we feel people have to follow our edicts. Some of us need to look at ourselves in the mirror and ask: what is it that drives my insanity? © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Growth

We can’t wait for our paths to be cleared before we grow. Look at nature, our teacher, it shows us that there is no obstacle to growth which manifests through every crack in concrete, a stone, a hill, or a mountain. Stamina magnifies through struggles. We have to learn to live without baggage and to […]

Calibrate

We have to look at our lives through a telescope, assess what worked and what didn’t. Life has to be audited the way an accountant audits his books, the ledger has to balance. The lessons we learn from our failures is more instructive than the euphoria of our success. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Free

Freedom isn’t a selective choice, it’s the right of all living entities. There is no higher hierarchy, every life has value. We who believe that being selective is a birthright should visit the cemetery instead of the museum because it holds the biography of our lives, we are no better than the ones we kill, […]

Scavengers

We are all born with gifts but some of us would rather scavenger, bamboozle and leach off of the talent of others. What a wasted life to live. That which is stolen does not enrich, it only haunts us in this life and the next. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Fealty

We bind ourselves to people and situations because of our fealty to money, relationships, and a thirst for admittance to the circle of elitism. Everything has a price and some of us are ready to pay the price of acceptance regardless of the consequences. Betrayal of self is a dastardly act. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Where are We

Some of us are inheritors of wit and wisdom, while some are in the business of displaying their inadequacy and incompetence. Our world is a replica of the choices we make. © Norma-Bobb Semple 2026
