Posturing
We can play charades, but for how long and at whose expense? Pretence doesn’t last, acting becomes frivolous and eventually we become the victim of our own actions. It doesn’t pay to be specious. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
I am superstitious
Are you superstitious? Yes, I am superstitious, my superstition has been my saving grace my whole life. We have to listen to our inner being, it’s always communicating with us. Don’t pass it off as delusion, it is always there to guide us, it’s catastrophic to act on our own volition. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Letter to my 100-year-old self
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dearest, I grateful for all I have accomplished in my short sojourn. I have learned that spending time with the people who love me and who I love is most important because time misused can never be reclaimed. 100 years is like me tossing a penny into a […]
Tethered
Most of us are tethered beings. We hang our faith and belief on systems outside of ourselves. We are the saviours we so desperately seek. Self reliance and spiritual awakening is the only answer to the ills that ails us. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Self Control
Before putting our decisions into practice we have to recalibrate, and contemplate all the forms of repercussions that would follow our actions. Choosing non-acquiescence is the armour against humiliation. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
The last thing I learned
What is the last thing you learned? I am going to pivot on this subject. Learning is a continuous process but what keeps me humble and grateful is the fact that I have to own my decisions. Whatever I do is on me and no one else. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
The one question I hate to be asked
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
Destiny
The things we crave can propel our downfall. We aren’t born under the same star as others, our purpose is peculiar to us only. 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 […]
Pity
Pity street doesn’t offer solace. We have to learn to listen to our instincts and avoid being goaded by people who aren’t invested in our best interest. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Grandstanding
Grandstanding is irreverent. We have to practice what we utter. Spewing truth and practicing evil is an abomination. If our actions betray what we say, who are we? © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
