In our formative years we are coerced into believing what our parents and teachers tell us about ourselves, and our history. But when we become adults we ought to question the assumptions we were fed and decide with due diligence what’s false and what’s true. Blind adherence can be antithetical to our well being. © […]
Reflection mirrors who we are. If we don’t examine our ticks and compulsions we impede our growth. We are a work in progress and our character matters. How we choose to be is not dependent on what other people think. Our work is never done if partisan and inequality continues to plague this universe. © […]
The loss of one’s integrity doesn’t advance credibility. If we can’t be true to ourselves how can we be true to anyone else? Truth is based on facts, it can’t be twisted like a pretzel. Owning our indiscretions frees us from self incrimination. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Today is a gift. What are we going to do about it? Projects can’t be shelved away for another day when all there is, is this moment, of this day. We are symbolic with seeds, we grow into that which we are, spiritually and emotionally. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Our ineptitude powers our insecurity. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
We each need to be historians on our history, raw and unadulterated, and when we do our perspective on who we categorize as, the other, would change. Immigrant is a misnomer, we are nomads, transient beings. We not only wander, we encapsulate and discombobulate. Being human is a state of being that can only […]
Extraction is not only applied to minerals, it applies to all aspects of our lives. Our demographic, income, expenditure, addictions, digital footprints, all mined and extracted by the purveyors of power. Financial strangulation is the end game. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts? The best way to deal with negative thoughts is to acknowledge them and let them go. Releasing them is cathartic to our well-being. © Norma. Bobb-Semple 2026
