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.

Oh, oh, oh it's magic, you know

With the summer as it was, it's been a while since I've taken my last woods bath. So how delicious it was to take my heart for a familiar walk in the woods around the lake and listen to the magic whispers of ancient trees.

to wander is a gift
to dawdle amidst Eath's wonder is a blessing
i go to my therapist
to be soothed and healed
her poetry enlivens me
like a glowing honeysuckle white sundress
that i've never dared to wear before
her name is Nature
