Bear Community
Hilary Clinton talked about community in her book “It Takes a Village”. The title comes from an African proverb which states that "It takes a village to raise a child." This oft- repeated adage expresses the belief that it takes more than parents to raise a child. Grandparents, friends, pastors, teachers, coaches, Scout leaders, and many others in the community all have a role in the lives of our children.
We believe this concept holds true in all aspects of community. While it is important to have the support of family and friends, it is equally important to find support from those we can identify with. These include those who have shared and overcome the same daily trials and tribulations that we face and those who are willing to expose their darker moments and share what allowed them to carry on. Often, all we need to hear is the simple phrase, “You felt that way, too?” By hearing someone else tell our story, we realize that we are not alone.
At The Complete Bear, we want to be the conduit to that community. We want to create a safe space to be exactly who you are, to share your joys, to commiserate over challenges of day to day living and to exchange helpful and productive hints. Our mission is to:
Our goal is not to duplicate existing services, but instead to enhance them, promote them, foster connections among them and make sure people can find them. Here’s where you come in. Got a great solution to an everyday challenge? Tell us, so that we can share it. Know a great service provider to the community? Tell us, so we can profile their business. In return, you can expect to find resources you never knew existed, vendors selling products you need and ultimately a community to call home.
Good folks doing good stuff. Support these bears, organizations and their efforts.
