Why don’t bears wear socks? Because they prefer bare feet. Check out these tracks in Bartlett Cove at Glacier Bay National Park

Even in winter, always be Beary careful and aware when traveling anywhere throughout the bear country. Bears don’t follow a dress code.

If you happen upon a bear crossing the road, identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal. Asking the bear why it’s crossing the road should suffice. If it answers, because it was the chicken’s day off, the bear has discovered dad jokes. Be careful.

I tell everyone as well as anyone who will listen that If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you?

It starts with ourselves by gaining clarity about who we want to be in the world. Confidence is like a muscle, the more you use it, the more it grows. And magic happens 😊 

Age usually brings with it knowledge, wisdom and expertise so rely on others who will share it, or use it once you get it.
