Choice
We have to be in the habit of making choices. If we don’t choose who we want to become, where we want to go, what our values are, someone else is going to choose to put us into boxes of their own making. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.

Warrior
Don’t depend on someone else to fight your battles. You are the only warrior you need. © Norma Bobb-Semple
Casting an Eye on Self
How do we see ourselves? Are we aligned with predatory behaviour? Do we see ourselves as agents of peace and harmony? Do we pay homage to Mother Earth? If we see ourselves as the only entity that matters we are in delusion and as a result we will careen towards our extinction. The Earth is […]
