Many thanks to all the skimboarders who made this video possible!

Skimboarding on the Sushine Coast is hugely popular in Roberts Creek BC in the Spring and Summer.

The flat sandy beach during low tide is perfect and so is the view!

I’ve been chronicling the sport for several years and put together a little celebration. Hope you enjoy!

Building a Stronger Community – One Person at a Time

Tom Watson to Speak on the Sunshine Coast March 1st, 2012

Motivational Speaker ~ Author of Man Shoes ~ Respected Businessman

Thursday, March 1st, 2012 7:30 pm
Chatelech High School, 5904 Cowrie Street, Sechelt, BC

We all long to make a difference. How we choose to act on that longing is our life’s journey.

Tom Watson will share his stunning story of one man’s determination to live life to its fullest, that new beginnings are possible at any age and stage of life, no matter what obstacles get in the way. His story is an important reminder that we CAN live a better life and influence others to do the same. It’s a story you won’t want to miss!

“Tom Watson’s inspiring story of overcoming adversity and choosing optimism over negativity when life throws you the tough challenges is told with honesty and humility. I learned early on to never give up on my dreams and that anything is possible; Man Shoes resonates with that belief from the first page.”  Rick Hansen, President & CEO, Rick Hansen Foundation

“Tom Watson has a powerful message as a devout family man who grew up in care and out of a background of child abuse. Many share this background, but rarely do they share it publicly, let alone as passionately and accessibly, to help others break the cycle. Tom also celebrates the incredible, long-term impact of foster parenting in filling a bleak and traumatic void for our most vulnerable children; the importance of the role of foster parents in our communities, and the need for more of us to take up the rewarding challenge, definitely deserve a voice as candid, caring and strong as Tom’s.”  Silas White, Chair of the Sunshine Coast Board of Education

“Tom’s book is a must read for anyone who might like to live their life in complete authenticity. It truly showed me that no matter what your truth is in this life, you are able to make a positive choice about how you create the rest of your days, years and decades. I think this reminder has made me more ambitious about loving my family and friends with a completely open heart.”  Brenda Wilkes, Public Health Nurse, Sunshine Coast “

“On the Sunshine Coast, we don’t often get the opportunity to hear, in person, a motivational speaker demonstrate to us how to make more of our lives. I think an opportunity to hear businessman, author and speaker Tom Watson on becoming a better parent, husband or friend is too good to be passed up.”  Peter Bogardus, Chair, Sunshine Coast Community Foundation

Tickets are $15 each. Limited number of tickets available.

They can be purchased at the Sunshine Coast Volunteer Centre, Sechelt or the Black Bean Roasting Co., Gibsons. Cash only please.

Sweatshop Union is a Canadian hip hop collective formed in 2000 when four politically minded rap acts came together.

Known for an inventive and socially conscious sound, Sweatshop Union’s music focuses on being “honest”—commenting on issues ranging from the war in Iraq, the plight of the poor and working-class, to the negativity and misogyny of mainstream hip-hop.

Tundra and Duane on a hike

I’ve told numerous doctors numerous times if it wasn’t for my dog “Tundra” I would kill myself. I write this to share with others in similar situations and as a healing process for myself.

I couldn’t leave him behind uncertain that he would be taken care of and receive the Love he deserves for being an Angel in my life.

Despite years and years of complaining to Doctors of chronic horrifying nightmares night after night several times a night they kept saying nothing is wrong, you can work.

Every night is the same, lay awake, toss and turn in pain all night, finally fall asleep to be tormented and terrified by soul draining nightmares. Wake up feeling like a fleet of logging trucks had run over me.

The pain would continue all day every day and move about my body with debilitating results. At times I could barely walk 1/2 a block before I would need to take a rest.

A break through of sorts happened over a decade ago when a Doctor suggested it might just be that I am that small percent of the human population that is super highly sensitive and intuitive.

He asked me if I snore and well I hadn’t heard myself so I said no. Then one night a friend slept over on the couch and in the morning they said my snoring startled them awake.

With this information the Doctor hooked me up with the Sleep Disorder Clinic at the University of British Columbia (UBC). What they found was I stop breathing every night up to 300 times and had severe sleep apnea.

I was relieved and frustrated as I have been telling family Doctors since I was a child something’s just not right here and they would just look at me with a blank face. I got accused of being a hypochondriac.

Tell that to a young person brought to their knees by the pain of horrible chronic migraines. I felt like Linda Blair in the Exorcist and don’t wish ‘em on anyone.

As more of my life went down the tube, I just couldn’t shake the health issues, despite immersing myself in modern Spiritual studies and mental health practices.

I suffered a lot of nasty bullying from certain BC Ferries managers and my previous employers. Their insurance company Doctors refused to accept that my health conditions affected my ability to work. And work refused a modified job description that would take into account my severe pain.

That resulted in me loosing employee disability coverage, despite being a total wreck health wise. Then I lost my job with them, then my house, and eventually was on the brink of homeless and bankruptcy.

Needless to say but worth repeating it continued the downhill spiral. According to recent news coverage bullying is rampant in the government. I could have told them that years ago!

I had been going to a therapist who was trying to help me through all of this until one day they said our sessions were over. It felt like my heart was ripped out and triggered my abandonment issues again.

I languished and stewed in severe to critical depression for several years more trying to keep my Spirit going by being of service to the community through photography and social media.

Still nothing was working, every day the same old same old. I felt like a broken record and couldn’t figure out why despite my best efforts I just could not get it together in life.

When I lost a part time job with a community newspaper, the only thing that kept me treading through life coupled with my dog Tundra dying a few months afterward I found myself go on a happy manic I can do anything, I’m superman upswing.

My close family and friends held their breath. So did I… The one friend who kept me here on this planet had passed on.

Despite my best efforts to engage myself in activities it wasn’t long before I crashed head first into sever critical depression. The high now was a deep abysmal low.

I laid on my couch alone for over a year and a half.

I tried to go for a walk every day, which sometimes turned into 3 long manic walks a day. I was finding it extremely difficult to be in public though as I no longer could conceal my true self anymore. I was miserable and couldn’t keep up the happy facade. 

People didn’t want to hear about it though. Most said they didn’t want to be around any negativity. Told me to be happy that will solve all your problems!

“Are you going to get a new dog? I thought the newspaper said you left for a new job; Why are you still here? A new dog is just what you need! If you just think positive   GET OVER IT!!”

I felt like concrete, a zombie, and often would have dizzy spells on the trails or just feel like such a dead weight I just wanted to sit down and die right there.

I remember that feeling when I was in elementary school and had migraines so bad. I still recall on one of my walks home I just wanted to sit down and die on the side of the road. I skipped a lot of high school from it too.

I could see that despite a year and half of not drinking things were going from worse to critical if you know what I mean. So finally I forced myself to once again seek help from a Psychiatrist I had heard excellent feedback about, even though I was jaded and devastated by Doctors, Therapists, WCB, and Great West Life Insurance.

Turns out after lots of tears and some digging, the Psychiatrist pointed out the obvious that all the other Doctors failed to do for the past decade plus.

I had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD or PTS), complicated by chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, add to that recently diagnosed bi-polar, and a spin cycle with chronically traumatic life circumstances at work, home and play.

When I look back, I noticed that as an adopted only child, my closest friends were always my pets. I wasn’t liked to much by a lot of other kids, I lived in fear everyday at school and home,  and mostly spent my time being creative with puppet shows, jaws rides, magic shows, variety shows, making movies, singing and dancing…  These I would perform for the local neighbourhood.

Yes pets have been there all my life to share their incredible healing companionship. There was my first dog in Gibsons, a German Sheppard named Kaiai who would sit on me when I was a toddler if I went to close to the road near Dougal Park.

When we moved to Ladner, BC,  there was my first cat named “Mouse” a gray and white tabby. When he passed away I was so heartbroken my parents got me “Tigger” an orange and white tabby kitten who took a shining to my grandmother’s cockerpoo “Tammy.”

After my grandmother had a heart attack, her and Tammy  came to live with us. Tammy had just finished a litter of pups which we gave away when Tigger the kitten came and they adopted each other. She took me in when my parents were divorcing during grade 4 and would later die from cancer.

For years afterward the now full grown cat would nurse on the dog in my bed! Kitten teeth led to full grown cat teeth that would elicit the occasion YIKES by Tammy LOL  But they loved each other and I loved them.

Tammy had epilepsy so many a night I would lay awake by her side putting a blanket on her comforting her through the convulsions. Turns out my late partner also would suffer from epilepsy and it was that one fatal night that ended up with a 911 call and that was it. 

My mom’s cat “Mitsy” a lost stray that found a home with us also joined the clan, and of course me being sensitive to abandonment had a place in my heart as did several ferrets I took an interest to raising.

All these special wonderful animal Spirits in my life were there for me during my parents troubled relationship and divorce and when I was chronically bullied at school.

I couldn’t win either way. Life was hell at school and at home.

Then as I grew older I was hit one after the other by abandonment, the tragic loss of caregivers, friends and two partners, my job, home and health.

No wonder I was a mess!

It was Tundra who gave me companionship and love over the last decade. He got me to leave the house and get out in nature and go for walks, where I found beauty and solace through the eye of the Universe with photography.

He was a warm hug in a lonely life. Someone I could care for and love as I was engulfed in despair.

The thoughts of suicide were rampant, I just kept telling myself that I couldn’t abandon Tundra too! I know what that feels like.  So I just held on tight day after day, year after year, trying to be of kind service to others and our community while hiding and disguising in public a personal life of turmoil every day.

Yes, dogs really can save your life! You have to meet them halfway though.

I did try to do something positive for the community and started a memorial fund to help raise  money to install dog friendly drinking fountains to get us off of plastic bottled water..

The response was luke warm which broke my heart and made me feel even more hopeless and like shit. I love to help the community and was disillusioned by the lack of support.

Duane Burnett shows off one of the dog and people friendly drinking water fountains being installed at Mission Point Park in Sechelt, on the Sunshine Coast BC.

Thankfully the District of Sechelt got something going as part of their sustainability initiatives and they graciously included Tundra in the project.

The truth is I had been making plans a month before the 2nd anniversary of his death. Talked myself out of it. Called in some friends for help, so I’m still kinda here though. This post is to help me reach out to others and work myself through it.

Instead I just visited with him and tidied up his graveside at Clayton Park. Picked up all the litter and put back the rock circle that had been tossed away.

I had hoped to do a bit of tree trimming where people have made a makeshift trail but don’t have a chainsaw or saw.  The bench has proven to be a popular little sitting area with its big flat couch sized square stone in the shade. Graciously dug and placed by my Uncles’ backhoe.

How is it a dog can have such an impact on one’s life?

I thank Tundra everyday for being an Angel during such dark turmoil in my life. He had a great wonderful life in possibly one of the best regions for dogs full of waterfalls and hiking trails on the coast. I call it a “Dog’s Disneyland”…  Miss him tons! <3

I know that baring my soul will open me to a lot of ridicule and scorn but deeper then that help shed light on others struggling with mental illness although it’s very scary for me to be so open. Yes I struggle each day and do my best to shine a light on our wonderful community!

Last night, as I wrote this, it was a beautiful star lit night, car windows were down on my drive during the day, the air is fresh and I lit a candle by his photo ♥  almost just like the night he passed away 2 years ago, when we enjoyed a bonfire drum circle together under a clean fresh starlit night, a ride home windows rolled down before he passed away looking deep into my eyes with me by his side as he gasped his last breath and died.

RIP Tundra

Has a pet helped you in life?

I’d like to hear from you!  : D  Duane Burnett

Lana Gail Phelps writes “Hell yes dogs can save your life!!!! So many dogs have died protecting their family from danger. They can sense when people are going to have a seizure, they sniff out bombs, drugs, they lead the blind…dogs are AWESOME!!!!”

 

 

Elaine Tweats Hunter writes “nteresting but having been close to many loving, loyal, kind dogs I would say yes, they can save your life, they know when you are feeling off your game. Awwwww we sure miss them when they have to leave us but you and I know how they stay with us forever.”

 

 

Tammy Saigeon writes  “So weird you would be doing this blog . It’s coming up a year since we lost or dear friend Casey Jones AKA Diggy Dog . February 4th, 2011. I can say without hesitation she saved a few lives in her day. Her obituary is on my wall under notes.

When someone was sick she would not leave their side this in fact saved my sister while she was expecting my now 5year old niece. She refused to leave my sisters side . There were other times too. She was truly a remarkable creature that is dearly missed in our family .

So I’m delighted that you will be adding “can a dog really save your life” in your new blog

 

 

 

Shayleen LePage writes ” I watch Animal Miracles every morning at 6:00 i usually end up crying though.. but i do believe dogs can save peoples lives! its amazing how attached your pets become to you ”

 

 

 

Tannia Bentley writes “My parents dog DID save my life! I wouldn’t be here today if he wasn’t around. THANK YOU JAKE! I owe you my life.”

 

 

 

Jeffrey Paleczny writes “Yeah – no question – many examples out there. From direct (saved by barking dog house on fire) to indirect (companion, get ya out walking every day, hospital friends dog etc.)”
