Gracious

Kindness, patience, love, hope, gratitude and fortitude are virtues worth putting into practice.   We rise every morning to a new day, a new beginning.  Let’s travel lightly and leave behind, self hatred, greed, hopelessness and jealousy.  Rebirth is an everyday experience and for that I am grateful. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Sharing

  Life is more than festivities and having an abundance of friends.   Ours is a mission of self discovery.   When we unearth our true mission on this earth and we live and share it with all of life’s inhabitants, we can say that our work is done. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Snapshot of Life

  There are things which are constant, like aging, sickness and loss, although not in that exact order.  These occurrences are part of our lives.  We cannot suffer sorrow when we know and accept that life revolves.   Everything that happens to us is not a secret, we see it happening all around us.  Let’s celebrate […]

Entitlement

    All of us at one time or another held the belief that we were entitled to someone else’s love, affection and resources.  The only one that owes us an entitlement is the one that stares back at us in the mirror.   We are our own benefactor. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Denial

    Living in a world of denial inflicts carnage on our body.  We refuse to see that which is before our very eyes.  Excuses becomes our daily litany and life for us is akin to being stranded on an island populated with zombies.  Let’s lift the veil and live in reality rather than denial. […]

Tears

Tears are the never ending flow of a waterfall.  It cleanses and it heals.  It takes us on a walk within the garden of reality and reveals to us the sanctity of life.  Tears are ever present in our happy moments and in our sadness.  It is like calm waters over troubled seas. © Norma […]

Beautiful

How do we define beauty?  We attest beauty to youth, and like the seasons, it changes.  Beauty, like flowers, eventually fades.  We don’t wear beauty we exude it. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Honesty

    Honesty is inherent in us all.  To be dishonest is a choice we make. Every time we make the decision to be dishonest let us ask of ourselves if our action is representative of who we are.  Knowing is nothing without doing. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Lessons Learned

  We tend to look  upon the dark phases of our lives as the greatest hindrances to our success.  These stumbling blocks we portend are what prevented us from reaching our full potential.  Life is a continuous circle of lessons.  There is always a lesson to be  learned from every situation.   Taking a step […]
