 Bear Business Directory
 

Our desire is to create The Ultimate Bear Business Directory. A place where bears can find product and services offered by other bears or bear friendly companies.

Who knows you better than another bear? Sophisticated, furry, sometimes grumpy when awakened after a winter's nap - but definitely all bear.

With your help, we can build a comprehensive and diversified list of services and products that will hopefully meet all of your bear needs.

 Getting Naked
 

Snorkel This past weekend I was in Tahoe. The dog and I wandered off the beaten path in search of a quiet spot for him to roam untethered, when we stumbled upon a nude beach. If you haven't been to a nude beach lately, it is an interesting exercise in body acceptance.

It takes a lot to let it all hang out - literally. Initially, a self consciousness makes one very aware of one's flaws. However, you look around, realize no one cares and then it's just another day at the beach!!

Ultimately, it is you that needs to be comfortable in your own skin - clothed or not. Sure you might have some flaws, but who doesn't? I am not suggesting you seek out a nude beach to build self esteem - but consider the freedom. Not caring what others think. Not worrying about covering this or hiding that. Just being you.

Oh, and if you do elect to go to the nude beach, bring sunscreen!! Trust me!!!
