Foolery
We can’t feign foolhardiness, the only one we are fooling is us and no one else. People know who we are by our actions and our words, puerile sentiments does not negate our intentions. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Focus
Being focused on destabilizing others doesn’t enrich us. Preoccupation with another’s success prevents us from pursuing our dreams and goals. Envy is infectious and we should eradicate it from our hearts and minds. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Wreckage
Our life is synonymous with being the captain of a ship, charged with the safety of the crew and passengers. We have to map our destinations and be aware of the pitfalls along the way. The past informs us, the present is where we need to apply the lessons learned from our past, if we […]
Mannequins
We are like mannequins, we dress to impress. The robes we wear distinguishes us from others, but it has no relationship to our character, honesty or human dignity. It’s just decorative, it’s only a ploy. We have to unwrap people the same way we unwrap gifts, layer by layer. Humans are duplicitous, we have to […]
Dance
We cannot tap dance around our problems, for if we do, it would fester and populate. It’s a matter of where we are spiritually, our perspectives and our involvement, whether it is emotional or financial. Profiting from the disinheritance of others inflates our pocket books, but disparages our legacy. Wiping the slates clean does not […]
Money
When getting rich becomes the core motivation in our lives we lose our humanity and we become charlatans, extortionists, deceivers, liars and manipulators. We see ourselves as the usurper and others as serfs. Money cannot forestall, prevent or postpone death. Naked we came and naked we will return to the source. It’s just a matter […]
Call and Response
Life is not a call and response, it is ordered by us. We are the architects of our lives. Situations beset us because we become consumed with what we see around us instead of being in consultation with that which is within us. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Unmasked
Pretence only works for a time, our actions solidifies our deceptions. Lying isn’t a craft, it can’t be brokered or sold. We juggle our broken promises in life’s spheres but eventually all of our balls will cascade onto the ground. Some of us grow rich on pillaging while leaving others bereft and wanting. It’s not […]
Morning Routine
Tell us about your morning routine. My morning routine consists of making petitions, reading, writing, exercising, listening to music, preparing breakfast, grooming and feeding my dogs. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Passion
We are all obsessed with something, whether it be wealth, eternal youth, or authoritarianism. Our sight becomes skewed, instead of seeking our purpose we prefer to impede the purpose of others. Life in the flesh is not eternal so it is imperative that we pursue that which we were deemed to be. © Norma Bobb-Semple […]
