Observation

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I wish had learned not to believe what people say but pay attention to how they act. Actions always portrays the character of a person. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Empathy

Without empathy we become absorbed with who we are and detached from the experiences of others. To truly love our fellow man there is no disparity between sex, status or religion. It also transcends to animals. Our animus about the lives we value is an aberration. We hate some, love some, kill some, eat some […]

Leaders

We are all leaders. We can choose to be a compassionate leader, or we can choose to be a divisive leader. The choice is always ours to decide on the epitaph we want to leave. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

When we are united we can’t be misinformed, mislead or misguided. Unity is comprised of strength, and the belief in togetherness. Where there is love everybody is taken care of, homelessness and hunger is eradicated. We prosper when we take care of our community. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Values

We have to remember that although we are human beings there are people who do not ascribe to our value system. If we live our lives as liars, cheats, thieves, haters, aggressors and murderers and that way of life has advanced our lives, where is our incentive to change. We continuously do what works in […]

What Matters

Security and well being of ourselves and our kids is of utmost importance. Staying in a caustic work environment robs us of the ability to assess what matters to us. Time misspent can be a source of sorrow and regret. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
