Future poets, philosphers, writers

In the past year I have become more interested in Nature Education and am discerning how it fits into my life's journey. At Tracker School, we had the opportunity to see a presentation from Children of the Earth Foundation. I believe it is crucial for children to grow up having contact with the natural world and plan to do so someday with my own children.

The Children of the Earth Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Tom and Debbie Brown. Through their Coyote Tracks Programs, their organization teaches wilderness survival, nature awareness, tracking, and outdoor environmental education to youth ages 4-17.

Here is a shorted clip. If you wish to view the whole clip please go to the website.

Another step in the journey

Weighing in after this week's workout.... 273 lbs.

In nearly 3 weeks since I started this journey, I've lost 12 pounds!

Week 1 Weight Loss: 5 lbs.
Week 2 Weight Loss: 4 lbs.
Week 3 Weight Loss: 3 lbs.
Total: 12 lbs.
Weight left to lose: 98 lbs.

I'm a little short of my target of five pounds a week, that's mostly cuz I went off my eating routine for a few days. After having a slight off week, I am ready to get back at it again and continue towards my goal. Nonetheless, I am grateful to be 12 pounds lighter.
