Oft times I feel like such a loser.  I’ve tried so many things and failed. But, I do have wonderful children. One of them was born on this day many years ago.

My rosy cheeked boy!

June 11th was also the birthday of Jacques Clouseau. 

Which leads me to offer a big shout out to another champion of the oceans, Liz Cunningham. 

Liz has traveled worldwide talking to people involved in ocean conservation and has recently published Ocean Country, One Woman Voyage from Peril to Hope in Her Quest to Save the Oceans. 

Currently she and her husband are touring the US in their efforts to raise awareness about global efforts to save the oceans. Go Liz!  You and Charlie are an inspiration to me, especially when I’m feeling down.  

 What things keep you from feeling like a complete loser?  Friends, children, dogs?
