What would my Freeway Billboard say?

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Bigotry
Bigotry is an acquired behaviour, we weren’t born with it, we were skilfully injected with it. Anything learned can be unlearned if we have the fortitude to question our beliefs and to separate truth from fiction. It’s not what we are told about ourselves, it’s what we discover about ourselves that matters. © Norma Bobb-Semple […]
Constraints
We are born with the ability to rise up from everything that limits our goals. If we find ourselves unable to soar because we are constrained by the dictates of family or friends it is time to edit our list, erase those on our list whose main interest is to sequester and prevent us from […]

Endings
Every beginning has an ending. For a new life to spring forth a seed has to die so we must give equal reverence to every ending and every beginning. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Relationships that positively impacts me
What relationships have a positive impact on you? There is only one relationship that impacts me on a daily basis and that is the relationship I foster with myself. I am at ease with this relationship because it is not motivated by jealousy, hatred, manipulation or greed, the only thing it requires of me is […]
Gifts
Gifts sometimes come to us wrapped in packages of pain, sorrow and loss. As we unwrap our gifts we have to have the discernment to pick them apart and find the pieces that fits our puzzle. It’s through the delicate job of putting the pieces where they fit that we learn the lessons we need […]
Map
Instead of looking at what other people are doing in their lives our time would be better spent on mapping out what we want and the path to getting there. Life is too short, we have to be focused on ourselves before life passes us by. Sitting in a rocking chair and dwelling on the […]
