First Steps...

So as I was sifting through pictures and videos I had loaded on my computer, I came across footage of my son's first steps. Thought I would share this with the class.

My son Quinsley was 12 months when he took his first walking steps. Now he is running around and its hard to keep up with him!

Enjoy!

Incredible how it is such a feat for a child to take its first steps.

As an adult, a person trains other methods in mastering a walk; like tight rope walking.

When I was watching my favourite T.V show, Modern Family, They had incorporated this movie in the episode. The father Phil Dunphy decided to take on the challenge and learn to tight rope walk himself

Do you think you walk properly?

After Jocelyn's presentation I decided to look up more tips on how to walk properly.

Walking in Stilettos

I decided to wear heels to campus, beacuse I was doing a final presentation for my Museum studies class. By the end of the day, the hike back to the car really put a toll on my feet. I use to be heel queen! I loved my heels, I put the blame on swollen feet after pregnancy, my feet will never be the same.

So I did some more research on how to walk in heels without the pain. I came across a humorous website (but quite informative)

Quoted from the website:

"Wearing high heels can make you stand so that your legs look slimmer, your stomach is flatter, and your femininityis unstoppable. It can also do wonders for your stride, but walking in high heels is not a natural talent--it's learned skill, perfected by practice and discipline."

So I guess i just have to suck up the pain and wear the heel because it looks too darn good with my outfit!

The Way Home

Urszula Kumala

It doesn't matter which way you go, as long as you get something out of the way you went that will be remembered. Well at least that's how it was for me when I took this path that I've never been on before.

On September 8th I took a different way home. Out of my comfort zone, I decided to take a path I normally see when I walk home, but was never sure where this path would lead me, so I would just keep on walking past. Finally I had found a reason to cross this path. Little did I know this path was an actual shortcut to my home! This path even had a bridge built on it so you can cross a little swamp. To my discovery I was able to be one with nature. Hearing the birds chirping I felt relaxed. Opening up all my senses to my surrounding. Not thinking that I could possibly walk into a stranger on the path, but instead of walking into a stranger I walked into Mother Nature. On her path I met this incredible handsome little frog, without much hesitation I had taken out my camera and took this photo of an incredibly charming frog. Seemed so photogenic when I took its picture.


As crazy as it might sound I felt a strange connection. I took this as my impact that I made in mother nature. After this encounter I had felt that the only strangers that i started talking to were animals; a squirrel, a bird, and a frog.


As I continue down this path I felt more alert to my surroundings, felt a connection with mother nature. Just as I was about to take a step further I gasped in fear and amazement. Right before me was an eager snake that showed me Natures survival, the not so nice side of Mother nature's creatures. An incredible thing to witness.

After seeing the Snake eat this large frog I had came to the end of my walk.



I had seen enough. Until Next time.
