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.

The Lord is My Shepherd

I walked in a little late to Mass at Bayonne Medical Center because Mom mentioned that the service was on the third floor, but it was actually on the second. Dad was in a wheel chair. Mom was standing dotingly behind him.

If you know your Catholic/Christian songs, "Here I am, Lord" can be a tear-jerker. And I lost it. I suppose I was overcome by the Spirit.

"Is it I, Lord?/I have heard you calling in the night./I will go, Lord, if you lead me./I will hold your people in my heart."

Dad hears God's call (even if he can't hear us sometimes).
