And both times, that something came from an unexpected connection with Cisco. Let me explain. A few weeks ago, I arrived at Due West after having a pretty emotional week personally. I thought I had worked through it and showed up feeling present and ready to support a coaching client. We had planned to begin our work around boundaries, and I had...]]></description><link>https://www.knhcoaching.com/post/letters-from-the-pasture</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6acfa638f01b30c0f5056683</guid><category><![CDATA[Letters From the Pasture]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:03:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d92de5_f9e9132eede14e458b26b25bfc46b99f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_291,h_240,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kathy Shepard</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[This month, a little fly spray and a horse named Duck gave me something to think about.]]></title><description><![CDATA[After a 4,100-mile motorcycle trip, I was happy to find myself back at Due West Ranch. My grandson was attending horse camp there with a couple of his friends, and I enjoyed being with the horses—taking in their presence, their smells, and the simple pleasures of being back at the ranch. Due West Ranch, owned by Mary Sharp, is also where I have the privilege of doing my Equus (Equine-Assisted) coaching work. Mary has trusted me with her facility and her horses, so when she asked if I would...]]></description><link>https://www.knhcoaching.com/post/this-month-a-little-fly-spray-and-a-horse-named-duck-gave-me-something-to-think-about</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6acfcdd9dc6e62b69eb70f8f</guid><category><![CDATA[Letters From the Pasture]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2026 18:50:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/27ee37_047c085d855f4b3dbcec9fabb291aab4~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kathy Shepard</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Summer Is Here]]></title><description><![CDATA[Summer has settled in. Schedules are full, vacations are underway, and for Dean and me, summer is a time to take a long motorcycle ride with friends. We always have a destination and a planned route, but we've learned to leave plenty of room for the unexpected. Wildfires, storms, a winding road, or a beautiful scenic overlook can easily alter our plans. We may know where we're headed, but we've learned to stay flexible along the way.  Motorcycle travel naturally requires more stops than...]]></description><link>https://www.knhcoaching.com/post/summer-is-here</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6acfd1acff45ed0c2275a64f</guid><category><![CDATA[Letters From the Pasture]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/27ee37_70492a835516405f8bfce1c04e9e113e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_427,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kathy Shepard</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gift of Slowing Down]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you're anything like me, May probably felt like a whirlwind.   Graduations, end-of-school activities, extended holiday weekends, vacations, schedule changes... sometimes it feels like we arrive in June already feeling a little behind.   One of my favorite parts of the work I do is spending time at the ranch with the horses. Every visit reminds me that life doesn’t have to be so complicated.   The horses aren't concerned about appearances or trying to prove themselves. They take care of...]]></description><link>https://www.knhcoaching.com/post/the-gift-of-slowing-down</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6acfd482ff45ed0c2275abd5</guid><category><![CDATA[Letters From the Pasture]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d92de5_14f037b2c4ad4a518e8cae0a790fd433~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kathy Shepard</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
