Regardless of our circumstances the one thing we can do for ourselves is to love ourselves unconditionally. We don’t need to be married or in a relationship, have a loving family or loyal friends to foster a relationship with ourselves. Being in love with ourselves allows us to give grace to ourselves and to be […]
The beliefs we are taught and follow are not always beneficial to us, it can be the impediment that keeps us docile and impoverished. If we are praying while others are preying how can we expect the sharing of resources. It’s all relegated to work like a clock, the hands keep ticking while we keep […]
Christmas is not only for a season, it’s the spirit that matters, one we should embrace with every breath we take. Being of service to each other ought to be our motto. May this season dwell within us instead of living amongst the gifts we give and receive. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Get to know the people you associate with. Observe their behaviour. Are they prolific liars? Do they have sticky fingers? Do they break their promises? Remember trust […]
Some of us are very calculating, we use religion as an excuse for our diabolical ways. The burden of shame is not on the victims, it’s on the perpetrators. Forgiveness is not required of victims, it is for the perpetrators, they have to forgive themselves, show contrition and amend their way of life. © Norma […]
In order to avoid disappointment we have to put limits on what we are prepared to do for our wife/husband, children/grandchildren, relatives and friends. If we don’t we would create a dependency on our time and resources. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
We all have gods that we worship, whether it be a deity, money, possessions, or status. We create idols unto ourselves forgetting that our time here is short. What we need to ask ourselves is: Why are we building storerooms to hold our ill gotten gains? We will eventually exit this existence as empty handed […]
