Brands
What brands do you associate with? I am not into brands. Comfort and durability is my motto. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Buying Basic Clothes
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? I regret not putting this advice into practice in my former years. I thank this person posthumously because styles change and we aren’t putting on a fashion show for an audience, we just need to dress according to the standard that is required of us in […]
There are no sides
A divided house cannot stand, love unites, hatred disparages. We reap what we sow. Now is the time for us to do an autopsy on our beliefs and ask ourselves: how does it serve us? We can maim, subject, obliterate, mortify and criminalize but is that how we want to define our legacy? We cannot […]
Wickedness
What’s your all-time favorite album? My favourite album is Contagious by Tarrus Riley and the song “Why so much Wickedness” speaks to the vacuousness, and cruelty of those who believe they are beyond reproach. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Pawns
Whether we want to believe it or not we are all pawns in a society that is drunk on the idea that some of us are fodder in their rush to be overlords. It’s irksome that we try to corral people into following our dictates when we aren’t their benefactor. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Plan
We have to have a plan in this life, if we expect to succeed at anything. No plan, no success. Jealousy and hate is not a tool of manifestation. If we live our lives on the wings of a prayer we will always be beholding of another. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Celebrating Holidays
How do you celebrate holidays? A holiday is a time of introspection for me. I use the time to meditate on the subjective aspects of the holiday, how it aligns with my values and whether it adds to, or detracts from my core beliefs. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Listen
Always listen attentively, allow the words to flow through your ears, no objections. At the end of the persons speech think on it, analyze it and then respond. We learn a lot when we don’t interject, because every sit down might not be a take down, it might be a message that transform our lives. […]
Observation
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I wish had learned not to believe what people say but pay attention to how they act. Actions always portrays the character of a person. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Empathy
Without empathy we become absorbed with who we are and detached from the experiences of others. To truly love our fellow man there is no disparity between sex, status or religion. It also transcends to animals. Our animus about the lives we value is an aberration. We hate some, love some, kill some, eat some […]
