Heaven and Hell

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Pandering
We can’t be authentic if pandering is our modus operandi. We know why we do it, we do it so that we can be favoured. The question we ought to ask ourselves is: Am I not worthy of living my truth? © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

If we are honest with ourselves we would know that we are clueless as to who we are. We have to examine ourselves so as to be able to determine whether our choices are in keeping with who we portray ourselves to be. Our growth is not spontaneous it revolves around every decision we make. […]

Our actions are what causes us to spiral out of control. Managing our thoughts and actions would […]
Making a Choice
Do not leave anything to chance. You have to be involved in every area of your life. Every decision you make should be on the basis of your values and commitment to yourself. If you aren’t committed to youself and you place your life into the hands of others you will be lonely, confused, lost, […]
Challenges and Solutions
There have been times in our lives whether during our adolescent years or as adults when we felt that there wasn’t a way out of our dilemma. As we mature we come to know that no problem is new, that there is a solution for everything. By broadening our knowledge through the books we read […]
