Reflection
We are the reflection of our environment. Expectation is a two sided coin. Nicety has no relationship to honesty. What we see is not always what is. Everything is in motion. Now is all there is. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Transactions
Our interactions with each other should never be transactional. If we believe we are due monetary rewards for every kind thought, word or deed then we should put our services up for sale. We have to stop treating people as though they hold the keys to our fortune. A life built on trust and honesty […]
Honesty
Living with honesty allows us to give to others the respect they deserve. When we are honest we don’t try to beguile people into giving us what we want. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021

Indifference
Some of us are concerned with our spiritual elevation, while others are concerned with how much they can cheat others out of. It is weird that we put manipulation and greed before honesty and commitment to the ideals of being empathetic and humane. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
