Gifts
Gifts can be wrapped in paper With glitter and ribbon I hold it and shake it Can’t wait to unwrap it Like a surgeon with a scalpel Taking hold of a knife I got rid of the trappings that stood between me and my gift © Norma Bobb-Semple 2015

What the future holds for me
My intention is to create memorable moments in my life. To live in the moment and not to take anything in a personal way. To remember that I am both the student and the teacher and to treat every experience as a learning experience. I am determined to act in all situations for […]
Discretion
We have to exercise discretion in our interaction with people on a daily basis. Don’t say anything to someone that you would not like another person saying to you.
