We aren’t like a cake that is baked in the oven, we are never done, we are a continuous work in progress. Every day is an opportunity for self assessment. Self reflection and the aspiration to be better is a continuous process. We are all a work in progress. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Have you ever pondered on why you clothe your true intentions? Deceit unravels like a reel of thread.

Change does not live in a void. Change cannot come from the lower echelons of society, who act as though they have the power of judge, jury and executioner. Change lies in the hands of our lawmakers who can change the direction of the tide and dismantle the persuasive injustice that is directed towards […]
Giving up is never an option. You have to be tenacious, and assertive about the actions you take. Your journey is not linear, it is a progression towards elimination of the larger issue: demonization and systematic injustice. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
