Otterocity!
Bring a Joyful Spirit to Your Life.

Otterocity, is a story of self discovery during trying times and how to live positively through circumstances that are out of your control. It is about being able to take your situation and change it for the better. It is about understanding life lessons that come at a time where everything seems bleak and unbearable, when you don’t want to go through what you are going through.

Meet 38 year old Rich Dawson. He is just like you, or I. He is a top executive at an advertising agency. He has been married for 13 years, has three beautiful children who love him unconditionally. Suddenly a huge wave crashes over him and his life sinks him into a deep abyss. In a short period of time, the 2009 recession rips through his life. He is forced to downsize and layoff employees. On top of that, Rich loses his best friend (who is also his boss and employer) to cancer. After closing down the marketing firm, he is forced to commute 60 miles to Denver for an entry level position that pays peanuts. On the verge of foreclosure, his marriage stressed, and his personal life in shambles, Rich finally hits bottom and contemplates suicide.

In his time of struggle, Rich receives the opportunity of a lifetime. His brother-in-law offers him a two week job to film a documentary on Sea Otters on San Juan Island. Accepting the job, Rich heads form Colorado to an island near Seattle, teams up with a “salty” sea captain named Old One Eye, and begins filming. Through chance, he meets a one-of-a-kind otter he names Lizzie. Observing this tiny creature he finds inspiration that changes his thinking, morphs his beliefs, and sets him on a personal journey to bring a joyful spirit to his life.

As you will read, on the following pages, Otters live a tough life. They incorporate hard work and perseverance in their lives. They show unconditional love and teamwork without losing their individual uniqueness. Despite all the odds of nature, they possess an innovative spirit, creative mind, a playful disposition, and most of all a joyful spirit.
