Catch the Buzz
The next time you visit with us, look for a pewter bumblebee pinned on our shirts, tops or coats.
What does this mean? We have the belief that nothing can’t be done. Or more simply, anything can be done. By the laws of aerodynamics, the industrious little bumblebee should not be able to fly- its wings are too small and oddly shaped for its overweight, rounded body. But that doesn’t stop them, so why should it stop us? Life is full of obstacles and challenges, but how you respond to them is the important part. We want to hear your stories of personal growth to feature in our newsletter, The Buzz! And let us reward your courage with a pewter bumblebee to display proudly.
Monica's Story
"Introducing the newest member to our hive, Monica J.. Upon finding out of her invitation of becoming a member of the hive, for overcoming her fear of dentistry, she said, “I always knew I had to go to the dentist. I always feared it, as many people do. At my daughter's insistence, I made an appointment. Of course I was hesitant and tried to find every excuse not to go. I sucked it up and went. To my surprise it wasn't as bad as I thought. I had to make another appointment and had the same hesitation but I went. I sat with Dr Passes and he really calmed my nerves for the up and coming procedure I was going to have. I couldn't have asked for a more reassuring consultation. Finally the day came. I was so anxious. I didn't sleep the night before. It was a wasted night of no sleep because every thing went perfect. The entire office took great care of me and everything went well and I ended up with a beautiful smile in the end. Thank you Dr Passes...”
