An Observant Life

We need to schedule visits to hospitals and gravesites. These are places that teaches us about the vulnerability of human life. We were each created in the same way, including the animals we brand as food. We all transition regards of how rich or poor we are. Compassion and empathy would create a world that […]

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

Making our Mark

We are all here to live a life that is exemplary to the younger generation. We are here to build, not to destroy. As stewards of this world it is our job to tend to each other, with love and compassion including all sentient beings. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Self Work

We need to question ourselves as to why we are the way we are. What are our motivations: Is it greed, hate, indifference, or callousness? If we get to know ourselves and we are comfortable with who we are, we have to put aside our costumes and show up as we really are. What the […]

Reciprocal

Our very lives came into existence because of reciprocity between our parents, it is a dance of give and take. We can make a difference in this Universe by embracing compassion, service and empathy. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Lost

  You can be living in a home but still feel lost, due in part to the non connectivity between husband and wife or between siblings.  Some people trade affection in the same way they reward their dog with a treat for doing a trick.  We aren’t inanimate objects.  We are conduits of love and […]

Expectations

We have to leave room in our relationships for change.  We all go through the process of transformation whether or not we are aware of its occurrence in our lives.  We grow and as we grow we have to accept that the people in our lives might grow with us or grow away in a […]

Belief

Do we believe we are superior?   Do we employ deception in our everyday interaction with other people?  Do we believe in self entitlement?   Belief in all or some of the aforementioned should cause us to stop and reflect on how we arrived here and where we are headed to.   Life and death is […]

Anger

  Anger is mismanaged energy.   We can only be provoked into a state of anger if we aren’t in touch with our inner being.  We are the guardians of our energy reservoir.   Our energy is meant to fuel healing, peace, compassion and loving kindness. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020  

Role

  We all play a role in garnering love and compassion for each other, other sentient beings and Mother Earth.  If this world implodes, we are all toast whether we build underground bunkers  or not.    Mother Nature’s wrath is more furious than that of a fire spitting dragon.  We are minuscule participants in the […]
