RE-DEFINING SUCCESS: Woos and Woes

Sheelagh Cabalda is a partner, mama and educator, who has worked extensively in youth development, cultural studies, multicultural counseling, cancer support, higher education, events administration and non-profit management. Redefining success is a combination of positive & changing self-concept, inner directedness and a balance of priorities. It is personal empowerment -- taking charge over what we can control & accepting what we cannot. Every day is an attempt to do just that.

Author of "Last Lecture" has died

Did I mention that Randy Pausch died (of pancreatic cancer) on July 25? I've been heartened by his cancer journey and recently viewed his graduation address to Carnegie Mellon University alum. Check out his life at: http://www.cmu.edu/homepage/beyond/2008/summer/an-enduring-legacy.shtml. As you can imagine, I am quite saddened by his death leaving me quite reflective of our own family's experience.
