Speaking of records... it reminds me to tell you that my friend Sara who writes The Daily Ocean reached a major milestone just the other day! She did her 300th beach clean up!! WOWZA! To think that I met Sara on her 130th clean up, makes me SO happy and proud of her for not giving up on her goal! 365 non-consecutive beach clean ups is a goal not many would take on... but she did and she's so close to seeing this through!! With 65 clean ups to go, Sara will complete her goal this year! AWESOMENESS :)
So, if you haven't been following what Sara has been doing... I encourage you to start now. Get inspired. Go check out her blog: The Daily Ocean. "Like" her facebook page and follow her on twitter @thedailyocean :)(And, of course, if you feel so inclined be sure to thank her for making such a big difference in our world.)

ReplyDeleteI stopped scrolling on the beautiful imprint of the coral in the sand. Wow. I just love it. Then I read what you wrote underneath. You are so sweet and such a good friend. One of the best outcomes from writing The Daily Ocean has been finding a kindred spirit like you to be friends with long after my 365 collections are over.
