Who are We?

Do we ever dissect who we are intrinsically? What is our origin? What matter are we made of? Is our life based on being benevolent or on being parasitical? Is our value system governed by hoarding money and basic necessities? We know we aren’t here in the flesh for an eternity, so why are we […]

My ideal week

Describe your ideal week. My ideal week is travelling by train, with no destination in mind, disembarking at all the stations, meeting the locals, trying new dishes and learning the history of the people and the places. © Norma Bobb-Semple

Unity

When we are united we can’t be misinformed, mislead or misguided. Unity is comprised of strength, and the belief in togetherness. Where there is love everybody is taken care of, homelessness and hunger is eradicated. We prosper when we take care of our community. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Values

We have to remember that although we are human beings there are people who do not ascribe to our value system. If we live our lives as liars, cheats, thieves, haters, aggressors and murderers and that way of life has advanced our lives, where is our incentive to change. We continuously do what works in […]

What Matters

Security and well being of ourselves and our kids is of utmost importance. Staying in a caustic work environment robs us of the ability to assess what matters to us. Time misspent can be a source of sorrow and regret. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Control

The masses have no control over the decisions of the representatives who pass laws on their behalf. If we want a change we have to be that change. Courage and a sense of purpose is all that is needed to sustain a just society. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

In a Bind

Sometimes we find ourselves in a bind, and the way forward seems perilous. This is the opportune time to go within, we have to summon our god who dwells within us and follow our intuition. We have to let go of fear, for fear keeps us from making the changes we need to make in […]

Discontent

Our discontent is fuelled by inaction. We are the only ones who can decide in what direction we want to go. Some of us assume that we have lots of time, we are young, and the young don’t die. No one knows when their demise would occur, but we all know without a doubt that […]

Lessons

People come into our lives as teachers, manipulators, exploiters and extortionists. They each bring with them lessons for our growth. Their message can either elevate us or destroy us. It’s for us to decide how we can use the lessons from our experiences to create the life we so desperately seek. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Allegiance

Allegiance isn’t a tool to be bartered. If we don’t have a moral compass and we believe in bartering our allegiance we are setting ourselves up as tools to be used and discarded. Respect is only accorded to those who demand it. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
