The last thing I learned

What is the last thing you learned? I am going to pivot on this subject. Learning is a continuous process but what keeps me humble and grateful is the fact that I have to own my decisions. Whatever I do is on me and no one else. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Destiny

The things we crave can propel our downfall. We aren’t born under the same star as others, our purpose is peculiar to us only. Instead of having a jealous eye we should pursue and accomplish our own purpose. Time is short, now is the opportune time for us to accomplish that which we were destined […]

Pity

Pity street doesn’t offer solace. We have to learn to listen to our instincts and avoid being goaded by people who aren’t invested in our best interest. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Reciprocity

Life is like tributaries of water, there is an ebb and a flow. Nothing is lost in life, every situation, whether sweet or sour is only for a time. Life is meant to be savoured for everything passes. We are not without recourse, we have the power to face the storm as well as the […]
