Life

In order to empathize we have to see ourselves in others, including all living entities. We all breathe the same breath so it is irreverent to believe we are better than someone else. Every life is sacred. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Woke

We woke up this morning, others didn’t. What are we going to do with the privilege of breathing the breath of life? Are we willing to let go of our base instincts regardless of the financial rewards? Are we going to be good stewards and strive to be better in this moment? Doing what benefits […]

Humane

Humanity does not always behave in humane ways. We excoriate and humiliate those we consider lesser than. Blinded by our lifestyle of privilege we act with impunity.

Working on Ourselves

Love
