| WOOOOHOOOOO! The 2012 3 Day Warming Hut Hottie Team |
There were no organized training walks this past weekend because it was the San Francisco Komen 3 Day for the Cure event. The Warming Hut Hotties team had walkers, crew, volunteers and walker stalkers participating in the event.
The Warming Hut Hotties team surpassed their goal and raised $102,994! The event had 900 walkers, 275 crew and raised $2.4 million dollars! CONGRATULATIONS to you all! THANK YOU for participating and being a part of this remarkable community.
The 3 Day event is three days the way we wished the world could be. A weekend filled with kindness and compassion. It is a weekend to remember, mourn and celebrate the lives of those we have lost to this disease. It is a weekend to cherish those who have walked the path of a cancer diagnosis and are here to walk along side us. It is a weekend to celebrate life, friendships, family, love and connection.
Your brilliant hottie spirits lift all of those around you. Hold this weekend and all of the memories close in your heart.
WEEKLY INSPIRATION
Life is for the living. It’s up for grabbing onto and living on the wild side. Life is not about sitting safely in the harbor, but about casting off the bowlines and heading into the unknown. Live life to the fullest today.

Lessons I Wish I Had Learned Earlier by Nancy Sathre-Vogel
Now that I’m old and gray (but not
quite in my rocker yet!), I look back on my life and think about things I wish
I knew earlier. It would have made my life so much easier if I knew then what I
know now. Here’s my list of things I wish I could turn back the hands of time
to tell my younger self. Maybe it’s not too late for you.
1.
You’re stronger than you think you are.
2.
Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time
you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal.
3.
There is nothing to hold you back except you.
4.
You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a
matter of wanting it bad enough.
5.
No matter how much progress you make there will
always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is
impossible.
6.
You are limited only by your own imagination. Let
it fly.
7.
Perception is reality.
8.
Your instincts can be trusted.
9.
There is only one question to ask yourself: “What
would you do if you were not afraid?”
10. It’s
often hard to tell just how close you are to success.
11. The only
mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re
too scared to make a mistake.
12. Never let
success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart.
13. You have
to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.
14. Life is
10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
15. Do what
you love, not what you think you’re supposed to do.
16. Laughter
is the best medicine for stress. Laugh at yourself often.
17. If you
want to feel rich, just count all the great things you have that money can’t
buy.
18. Forgiving
yourself is far more important than getting others to forgive you.
19. If you
awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in
your life today, you’ll often find that you’re right.
20. Be nice
to yourself.
21. For the
most part, it doesn’t matter what people think. Follow your own truth.
22. No
education is wasted. Drink in as many new experiences as you can.
23. Making
one person smile can change the world.
24. Don’t
forget to enjoy your journey!
25. You never
know how strong you really are until being strong is the only choice you have.
26. Sometimes
good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
27. You
cannot change what you refuse to confront.
28. Crying
doesn’t indicate that you’re weak. It doesn’t always solve your problems
either.
29. No matter
how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of
everyone who isn’t trying.
30. Life
isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the
rain.
31. You can
learn great things from your mistakes when you aren’t busy denying them.
32. Give up
worrying about what others think of you.
33. When you
stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.
34. You have
to accept that some things will never be yours, and learn to appreciate the
things that are only yours.
35. As Henry
Ford put it, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are
right.”
36. Don’t be
afraid to move out of your comfort zone. Some of your best life experiences and
opportunities will transpire only after you dare to lose.
37. Giving up
doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and
smart enough to let go.
38. You’ll
rarely be 100% sure it will work. But you can always be 100% sure doing nothing
won’t work.
39. Don’t
dwell on the past or worry about the future for too long. Right now is life.
Live it.
40. No matter
how cautiously you choose your words, someone will always twist them around and
misinterpret what you say. Just say what you need to say.
41. Not
getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of good luck.
42. If you
are passionate about something, pursue it, no matter what anyone else thinks.
That’s how dreams are achieved.
43. If you
keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.
44. What lies
before us and behind us are tiny matters when compared to what lies within us.
45. Don’t
pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.
46. It’s not
about getting a chance, it’s about taking a chance.
47. If it
were easy everyone would do it.
48. Be vulnerable.
49. A problem
is a chance for you to learn.
50. Regardless
of the situation, life goes on.
