I found myself in a perplexing situation in the past few years, one of which I am sure that there are many out there experiencing the same thing as I am. And because my situation is difficult to get out of being Canadian an all, if you know what I mean. I decided to forget about my troubles and start a project that would ultimately change it for all those in this boat. I set out on this journey with no money, abandon by family, and some very caring friends that have sheltered me from the darkest time of my life, thanks be to the Universe for sending them my way. My philosophy is as follows

In the cultures of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the bear is a complex and revered figure. The bear spirit is often associated with strength, family, vitality, courage, and health. Bears are seen as close relatives to humans due to their ability to walk on two legs and because they are omnivorous. Here are some specific attributes commonly associated with the bear spirit:

1.Strength and Courage: The bear's physical power and ability to stand up against adversity are often translated into human traits of bravery and strength.

2.Leadership: The bear is frequently seen as a leader due to its size and strength. It can symbolize noble leadership, particularly in standing against challenges.

3.Healing: Many West Coast Native cultures regard the bear as a healer and protector. This stems from the bear's use of medicinal plants and their ability to heal themselves.

4.Motherhood and Teaching: Bear spirit is sometimes associated with motherhood and the teaching of young ones, due to the protective and nurturing nature of mother bears.

5.Resurrection and New Beginnings: The bear's practice of hibernation and re-emergence in the spring symbolizes resurrection and the possibility of new beginnings.

6.Introspection and Intuition: The solitary life of a bear, especially during hibernation, represents a time for introspection, self-discovery, and listening to one's inner voice.
