Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.  And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.  If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.  Don't settle.  As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

In the course of a year here at Slidebelts you will spend somewhere north of 1,800 hours of your time at work which is almost a quarter of the total hours you have in a year.  It's human nature to always be looking for the next "thing" that will make you happy.  If I only had "that", if I only could do "that" I will be happy......  Take a moment and realize where you are and the potential you have where you are and then CHOOSE to make the decision to be the best at what you are doing now and you may be surprised at the result.  

**We interrupt your regularly scheduled post about the Kentucky Wildcats to bring you a message from one of everyone's favorite Crusaders, Emmeline!**

Good morning from 9 hours in the future!

Guess what! I’m back! I am ecstatic to be back at SlideBelts and look forward to working with all of you again, even in a remote situation. I missed you all! Feel free to shoot me an email from time to time. 

I just need to warn you all that living in Europe for approximately two months has made me about three times more cultured and two times more knowledgeable about all things. So I’d like to impart a bit of that wisdom to you here.

When you reach a river in life that seems uncrossable, take a grumpy selfie with said river, and then show it who’s boss by just crossing the dang thing. Walk straight through and surprise the sheep that were watching you from the other side, taking bets on whether you’d cross. Sure your toes may go a little numb, but the warmth that comes from the satisfaction of crossing an uncrossable river will definitely counteract that.

Don’t just get your feet wet – jump in. Take that dancing class you’ve been thinking about. Wear the bright purple sweater hanging in your closet. Join the LARP group you’ve seen at the park from time to time. Quit your job and move to Germany. Just do it.

(Except not that last one – that’s my thing.)

Happy Friday Crusaders!

It is Breast Cancer Awareness month. SlideBelts is donating $10 from the sale of every Rose Skinny and Pink Canvas belt throughout the month of October.

Our Sacramento region holds many Breast Cancer Awareness events to raise awareness, celebrate survivorship and to remember the ones we have lost.

This Sunday, October 16, 2016, is the annual Making Strides Breast Cancer walk. I will be joining a friend of mine who can officially say “I AM CANCER FREE!" The statistic is if you do not have any remission within the first five years, chances are you will not after that.

The past walks for her have been so liberating, and emotional to see everyone come together, standing shoulder to shoulder, showing support for one another. The event starts at West Steps of the State Capitol in Sacramento between 10th and 16th and L and N St. The event is rain or shine. Join in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness. 

Have a good weekend.
