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 scent of August

The anticipation of transition, the whisper of new starts, the unexpected around the bend, all set against August's aperol spritz hue. In addition to birthday month, the highlight of our August included attending our niece's wedding. To wedded bliss everly, Nicole and Vincenzo!

Pamilyaful
where the raindrops mizzle
and the cityscape's lights gloam
and the river enamors
souls entwined are pure

Solitude = self romance

alone
in the starshine
my feet kiss the earth
and
sun-smacked
i listen to the lightbeams
like a field of buttercups aglow

alone
with the melody of my persian blue glitter pen
floating across my mini notebook page
it glides as i tune in --
flawless asmr
like skates on fresh ice

alone
in the time of gladiolus
oh the much welcome peaceful solitude,
medicine this 52 years young
evolving crone needs today
