We have to sit back and reflect on the choices we make, past and present. Taking stock is an opportunity to see what worked and what were total spoilers. If we don’t carry out an autopsy of why we do what we do there can’t be a catalyst for change. To grow is to evolve […]
I am in awe that some people are so insecure that they need to have dominance over the lives of people who don’t have the political or militaristic power. How can we boast of how powerful we are when we run slipshod over the humanity of our fellow human beings. We know how deep seated […]
When we are content with our status in life we tend to forget that there are other people who are living a life of penury on a daily basis. How can be boastful of our wealth when all around us there is abject poverty, neglect and injustice. There should be an equitable distribution […]
Time is an illusion, all we have is this present moment. We can’t project the future or recreate the past. Now is the only time allotted to us. Let’s seize the moment and do what we need to for there may not be a tomorrow © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
If we are sane we would be comprehensive of the fact that we are not superior to anyone, including sentient beings.

People sometimes only want a listening ear, they aren’t seeking advice and condemnation. Before we broker our advice we should ask ourselves “If I were faced with […]
When we unleash our brashness, arrogance and ineptitude on others it is not that we are showing how unmerciful and cruel we are; it is because we believe that our bravado would earn us the respect we seek and believe we are entitled to.
