A friendship doesn’t signal credibility. We should ask ourselves why are people attracted to us, like bees are to pollen. What’s the end game? If we don’t observe and interrogate the people we have in our circle we will forever be a victim of their machinations. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
What makes you nervous? Continued military conflicts, hunger, homelessness, deprivation, hopelessness, joblessness, human trafficking, and insecurity makes me nervous. The inability of those who have the power to put a stop to it all and does nothing is very debilitating to my psyche. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
If we revere Mother Earth we will show reverence to all who dwell on this earth including sentient beings. The harm we do to Mother Earth reverberates back at us. The time for introspection is now. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Every hurdle we face is temporary. Remembering that nothing lasts helps us in overcoming our anxieties in periods of distress. We can transcend all obstacles. This life we live is continuously evolving so it’s imperative that we change our mindset. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Can we show up as our authentic selves? What we say is irrelevant , it is what we do that matters. Life is not a sitcom, we aren’t on display for ratings. We write our eulogy through every word we say and every action we take. Life is too short for us to live in […]
