True love
True love comes with self acceptance and responsibility, and is only dispensed to us from us. We are the magic we so desperately seek. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Special
We are all special. Our birth is testament to how miraculous we are. We don’t have to bribe, beg or entreat anyone to be in our company. Let’s sit in the power of who we are, loved and accepted by ourselves, without depending on the acceptance of others. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022
Acceptance

We have to stop basing our acceptance or non-acceptance of people on their appearance. Some people are like gifts in a showroom, finely wrapped but empty inside. Charisma is not an indicator of a person’s character. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Be Prepared
We prepare for birth, not death. We prepare for romance, not breakups. We prepare for marriage, not divorce. We prepare for our career, not redundancy. We become more peaceful and accepting of all things that impact our lives when we embrace preparation. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Investing in Self
If we believe we have to trade our values and self worth in other to gain the affections or acceptance of others our path forward will be littered with disappointments and regret. Life is a short sojourn, today we are here, tomorrow deceased. We ought to be invested in ourselves always. There […]
