Fool

Don’t be fooled, people are multifaceted. They are like objects in a display case, each telling a different tale. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Downcast

If your life was steeped in trauma and your spirit is downcast, people recognize that and capitalize on it. They use and abuse you without any conscience. Cast off your past and create a new you. You are worthy and the world awaits your brillance. Greatness isn’t based on wealth or status. It can’t be […]

Love

Love isn’t a dual process, it’s singular, it begins with ourselves. Self love is the key to true love. When we love ourselves without exceptions we won’t take baloney from anyone else. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Humans aren’t robots who are programmed to follow a set of codes. We are entitled to live our lives now, without being told that this is not our time, that […]

Loyalty

We have to extend loyalty in order to have it reverberated towards us. Loyalty is a state of being. It isn’t activated because of the need to impress. It has to be who we are. If we are self serving, a user, we have to own it, and have no expectations of another person’s loyalty […]
