hello

My name is Baxterbear, and I have quite a phenomenal story to tell.

The first thing you should know is I lived for more years than I had birthdays. Impossible?

Baxterbear - My 9 Philosophies

My 9 Philosophies

1. I try to have one thought at a time which is always a positive one.

2. I never hold a grudge because that part of my memory doesn't work very well. Before a memory becomes a grudge it falls out of my head and when I don't know what to say, I save my breath to cool my porridge.

3. I love the journey as much as the destination and I always try to find interesting things wherever I am. Although I love to travel and have adventures, I believe that coming home is the most exciting journey you can make.

4. I love people and wherever I travel I'm always amazed at the incredible things people can do when they believe and trust in themselves.

5. I love telling stories. Inside each one, even the very short ones, there is a lesson I learned that others can learn too.

6. I believe that it's just fine to be different.

7. I have a strong character and I'm very supportive of others, but sometimes I too need help, no-one can be strong all the time. Besides, it's a good thing to give your friends the chance to help. I believe that smiling and being happy are the best ways to get through long days and hard work.

8. I always have an interesting way of looking at things and I'm able to see opportunities where other people may not.

9. I would never want to be the solution for anyone. Rather, I enable people to find the answer within themselves. I really am a nice fellow. I love life and all my friends but I never take myself too seriously or have any thoughts about being special. I'm definitely not a guru, just a happy bear!

baxterbear with Gavin HastingsA really fun afternoon raising money for ABF The Soldiers' Charity. I got to shake paws with rugby legend Gavin Hastings. One of the Baxterbear team explained that my Scottish tartan-patched shoulder and torn ear came from being shot down over the jungles of Burma flying reconnaissance for the Army.
