Remembering
We have to remember who we are, where we came from and what lessons we have learned along the way. Vigilance and awareness has to be the companions we keep. Knowledge is key to self preservation. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

What you see is what is
Why do we expect people to exhibit behaviours that are not in keeping with who they are? You know who you are and what you stand for. They know who they are and what they stand for. Be steadfast and know that when you know who and what you are dealing with you cannot be […]
At Cross Roads
There are times in our lives when we find ourselves faced with making a decision between choice one and choice two when both choices have ruinous results. Life is not an exact science so we have to be resourceful and come up with alternative means towards achieving our desired results. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Ruminations
Have we ever stopped to think before giving our assent, whether to ourselves or others as to the complications that are involved and the repercussions that would follow us, including our physical, spiritual, mental and emotional well being. Our actions are what causes us to spiral out of control. Managing our thoughts and actions would […]
Making a Choice
Do not leave anything to chance. You have to be involved in every area of your life. Every decision you make should be on the basis of your values and commitment to yourself. If you aren’t committed to youself and you place your life into the hands of others you will be lonely, confused, lost, […]

Cowed
Some of us live under the weight of intimidation. Though we are free thinkers we cower at the behest of others. If we are afraid to act because we fear retaliation then we have co-opted-ourselves into becoming co-conspirators. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Growth or Stagnation
Is what we were yesterday the same we are today? Growth is a continuous process. If we don’t grow, who we are dies at its core. Are we comfortable with stagnation because it supports our lifestyle and beliefs, regardless of however erroneous they may be? If we can’t comprehend that it is our aggression, exploitation […]
Lifting the Cloud
Some of us have a cloud that follows us in every area of our lives, it obscures our vision. Whatever feeds that cloud whether it is our insecurities or our inability to be where we want to be, know that we are the only ones who are able to either break through that cloud or […]
Building Boxes
We like to put other people into boxes. We dictate what jobs and spaces they should occupy and how best we can profit off of their existence. We are so consumed with self importance and brute thuggery that we misconstrue the meaning of our existence. Be aware that the net we set for others is […]
