National Western Stock Show - and who we are
What does this even have to do with our business?
Well, a couple things, actually. It’s got lots of horses. Our business has lots of horses (four).
Vendors have booths. The company where we got our training had a booth - if you went to Stock Show, you saw us in the CINCH Arena/Events Center at the Touched By A Horse booth.

Touched By A Horse is where we got our very extensive training in Gestalt coaching, both with and without horses. It’s a four-year total program, AND we are required to do continuing education, so we never stop learning. It’s based in Colorado, and there are coaches trained in this modality all over the world.
It was so much fun sharing the booth with some of my fellow coaches. In the Denver area, we’re spread from Platteville to Colorado Springs, and there are probably others I don’t even know about. What I’m saying here is that if you want to...
Action and Effect from Daily Om
The principle of cause and effect is the truth that allows us to better ourselves and the world around us.
All motive and action affects the cosmos in some way. The principle of cause and effect is the truth that allows us to change ourselves and the world around us for the better. However, this same universal law is also at work when change is not at the forefront of our minds. Our intentions flow forever outward in the form of energy, affecting both the people closest to us and billions of individuals we will likely never meet. For that reason, we should strive always to speak, think, and behave with great thoughtfulness and compassion. The virtues we choose to embody can inspire joy and integrity in the lives of countless people, whether we touch their existence directly or not.

Life, The Universe, and Almost Everything
One of my all-time favorite books is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by a brilliant author, Douglas Adams, who unfortunately passed into the outer regions in 2001 at age 49.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a concept for a science-fiction comedy radio series pitched by Adams and radio producer Simon Brett to BBC Radio 4 in 1977.
Life, the Universe and Everything is the third book in the five-volume Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy science fiction "trilogy".
This post is my homage to Douglas Adams who visited Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstore in the very late 1990s to perform a reading of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He was so kind as to autograph my leather-bound copy of that book which I cherish to this day.
So, why the blog title Life, The Universe, and Almost Everything? Because everything is too big for us to know about it all!
What we will share in these posts are things we do know...
What is Gestalt Coaching?
Gestalt coaching is a form of individualized (or group) coaching that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses upon the individual's experience in the present moment, the coach-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts of a person's life, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of their overall situation.
