We can’t wait for our paths to be cleared before we grow. Look at nature, our teacher, it shows us that there is no obstacle to growth which manifests through every crack in concrete, a stone, a hill, or a mountain. Stamina magnifies through struggles. We have to learn to live without baggage and to […]

We have to look at our lives through a telescope, assess what worked and what didn’t. Life has to be audited the way an accountant audits his books, the ledger has to balance. The lessons we learn from our failures is more instructive than the euphoria of our success. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Freedom isn’t a selective choice, it’s the right of all living entities. There is no higher hierarchy, every life has value.

All of us carry sacks. What matters is the accoutrements we carry in those sacks. Some of them are filled with trickery, idolatry and false promises. The ones that are filled with truth and honesty are rarely in the scope of our view. We are deceived because we don’t investigate, before giving our assent, which […]
