Springtime in the Ozarks with Little Red Bear!

/ jrmilson / Leave a comment

Welcome to “Springtime in the Ozarks Mountain Country”, Little Red Bear’s newest video and book trailer for the soon to be released “Adventures of Little Red Bear” short stories collection!

With his first collection of short story adventures to be released very soon, Red couldn’t wait to show everyone springtime in his neck of the woods and all that is going on around.  As Creative Director on the video projects, Little Red Bear wanted it to be filled only with beautiful images and music for you, but our esteemed attorney, Brooks the Badger, insisted that he include a few promo texts for the upcoming book as well.  They finally agreed on just a couple.

If you enjoy Red’s video, please feel free to share and pass along to friends and family, and consider giving him a “Thumbs Up!” like on youtube.  It really makes his day as he watches the numbers go up and gets him out working on the next one even sooner.

Big bear hugs and thank you’s to fellow birder Adele Barger Wilson, author of “Bonding With the Barn Swallows” for permitting us to use some of her images, and to the Missouri Wildflower Guide for making their images available for use.

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for visiting!  — Jim (and Red!)

We Are Part of Mother Earth!

Whoever was the first to coin the term “dominant species on the planet” should have also spent more time addressing the responsibility that comes with that assumption.  We need to do better, for the sake of all species and the Earth, not just ourselves.

“Forest, Soil, Water, and Wildlife are mutually interdependent, and the ruin of one element will mean, in the end, the ruin of them all.”

~ Peter Matthiessen, “Wildlife in America” (1959)

Plant Only Love!

As we head outdoors into the gardens and flower beds with springtime now, let’s also carry this wonderful thought along from the 13th century poet Rumi, below.

In the garden of life, plant only love wherever you may go, and watch it blossom.  Wishing everyone a wonderful and Happy Mother’s Day weekend! — Jim (and Red!)

Happy Mother’s Day! Exclusive Offer!

Happy Mother’s Day weekend!

Testing a new tool designed for use as “Codeless Coupons” made available by eBay for my store, I thought what better test than to make the first offer available only for those who have followed and supported my work in the past. So as a special Mother’s Day event, I have created an initial limited time test offer in my eBay store exclusively for my followers.  Those who follow me on the Blog, Facebook and Twitter will be the only ones notified or eligible to participate.

In recognition of Mothers and all they do, the featured items are handmade, wire-wrapped Sea Glass and Stone pendants, each unique and One of a Kind. An opportunity for moms (or fellas) to pick up a little something special for themselves or a loved one at a good savings. I have set the minimum required purchase below the lowest price pendant so that all would be included, no exclusions and no multiple items purchase requirements.

The offer is for a 30% savings on a purchase of $15.00 or more, and as always—shipping is FREE within the U.S., with a gift box and cord or silver-toned necklace to display the pendant included. If you purchase more than one, the discount applies to all. Simple, straightforward.  But hurry, this initial test only goes thru Mother’s Day weekend, and ends Monday night.  After that, the special link will not work.

Because I am offering it only to my followers, the exclusive offer is only available by accessing this link to my store. Other shoppers do not see or benefit from this. If you want to share the link with a friend or family, that’s fine. It’s a way to thank you, however you wish to use it. Here is your link → http://ebay.us/8Ajj5P.

Either click the link here in the blog, or enter the link into your browser to access the promotion within my store, and the system will make sure the proper discount is applied for you. But again, you will only be able to receive the discount if you use this link. That’s what makes it exclusive.  It is only set up for you as a follower.

So—thanks for following along!  Hope you find something you like. If folks like this and the new Codeless Coupon and special link tools work as advertised, maybe we can do some more of these from time to time. — Jim
