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.

Lolo's light

dad's disposition - that determined focus
mama's merrimaking - those sudden goofy guffaws
anak (my child)
she is my beaming sun upon dawn
she is my blooming orchid haze upon dusk
the light in her eyes - must be lolo's smile

happy 74th birthday in heaven, Dad.
