Narrative
People change their narratives depending on what their motives are. See beyond what is offered. Intentions aren’t always altruistic. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Reading
Reading is an art form. When we read we breathe life into characters, and model the scenes according to our feelings. We journey to places near and far. What we get from reading can never be experienced in other art forms. Reading is good for the mind, body and soul. Let’s get reading. […]
Service
As we traverse this Universe we have to put service into practice. Service to self is important, but it must be extended outward to our families and our communities. Benevolence has to be at the centre of our lives. There has to be parity in our giving and in our receiving. There is […]
Power
We are all at some point in our lives enthralled by the thought of being powerful. True power comes from an understanding of who we are. We are not only human, we are spiritual beings endowed with power. With power comes the responsibility of exercising empathy, love, peace and compassion. Let […]

A Balancing Act
We have to sequentially work on the priorities in our lives. There is no room for miscalculation and assumptions. A plan must be put into place. Time has to be allocated to our health, physically and mentally as well as financially. Stress and overwork kills so make time to take care of […]
Expectations
Expectations are one dimensional. We can only have expectations of ourselves and work towards bringing those expectations to life. If we invest into having expectations of others we invite pain and regret into our lives, which you can agree is foolhardy. People act out what they think of themselves and there is […]
Suffering
If we hold to the tenet that nothing changes with respect to our life, our family and lifestyle we feed energy into the concept of suffering. Life holds no secrets, we know that as we sow we reap, and that all life eventually dies. In this life there are no guarantees. Chameleons are […]
Unlocking Fear
We live constantly in fear of not having enough and not being enough. Fear is the shadow that follows us in our dread of loneliness, disease and death. The presence of fear is an opportunity to engage that fear and see what, like a mirror, it is reflecting to us. Fear is only […]
