Lessons

There is a lesson in every fibre of fabric, how it is grown, manufactured and processed. It was a thought before it became a living object. It is the same with us, humans and all living entities, we are shaped by our experiences. The motto is what have we taken away from our lived experiences. […]

Time

Time does not stand still, it evolves. We cannot procrastinate, we have to live in the moment and do the best we can to accomplish that which demands our time. Squandering time can be our greatest downfall. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Think

Don’t overthink. When an idea comes to you from within listen to it and do it, no if’s or but’s. If you don’t put what you are told into action you’ll regret your tardiness in due time. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Paths

What path have we chosen to follow? Are we builders or destroyers? Are our appetites fuelled by greed and lasciviousness? Do we feel fulfilled when we engender pain and suffering?

Masks Off

We begin to live an authentic life when we shed ourselves of the masks we wear. Twisting ourselves in knots so that we can be included doesn’t advance us, it encourages ridicule and mockery. Community advancement is the utopia we need. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Layered

Everything we see has layers. Looking for opulence with the eyes is deceptive. The content of a man is not the sum of his financial and social status, his character is what matters. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
