Not posting any pictures yet but the expansion into the adjoining office has begun. I thought we would need to purchase an additional laptop to run the second Crucit. Currently it has run via the laptop we use for admistrative work. Now they are both in the new room and I learned how to run them simultaneously with one laptop....very pleased with myself. The new office has been named The Fuzzy Bear Room. I think Uncle Fuzzy would be pleased. 🐻❤️🐻❤️🐻 Stay tuned for the final reveal.

One of the wonderful organizations we partner with sent me this email today. Needless to say it made my day....and I will use the quote as often as possible!

Hi Rebecca,
I wanted to let you know that all of the precious bears arrived last week! As always- thank you for all that you do to help care for hearts in our community and beyond! I heard a quote recently and have added it below.

“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” — Scott Adams

Thank you for the ripples of kindness that you and Cruz send out into our world, and into the lives of our guests too!

With lots of care,
Jessica

With Empower Academy Adult Day Program Cruz went to the Placer County Health Fair. Cruz, as Cruz does, got talking with a woman in one of the booths about Bears By Your Side. She thought it was wonderful and asked if he would like a quilt for a child he might encounter. But of course! We knew just who to give it to. One of our wonderful bear makers, Cathy Pinder, also heads up Project Linus El Dorado County . She gladly welcomed the quilt and she said it would be going to The Center . This is how this thing called life is supposed to work. Community at its best! 🐻❤️🐻❤️🐻
