When I was a consultant for a client’s broodmare program, my boss often said, “Barb, one of the secrets to success is you need to keep showing up.”

He went on to explain that, whether it’s business or personal, investing time in attending events can open doors.

We position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities, observe trends, become more informed, and make new friends.

Oh. This is so funny.

I don’t know if you can hear it, but some wild pigs might be over in those trees to the left.

We’ve seen them come across our property years ago, but that’s the first time I’ve heard them grunting!

Hey, it’s Barb, and I want to talk to you today about an idea that’s really easy to understand, but it’s not always easy to do.

It’s called unstoppable momentum.

Hello my friend, it’s Barb and I’m here on the Colorado River at Red Cliffs Ranch which is adjacent to Red Cliffs Lodge.

I’m looking at the cliffs that are behind the arena and I thought it would be fun to just give you a little tour from here.

Down here you see some of the cattle pens on one end of the arena.

I’m at home, and I’m on a short break from doing an online summit featuring five speakers on the topic of transition and change.

During this summit, I was inspired by the fact that things that are true in our lives can be presented differently by different people and that we can take something from those other ways.

Nothing ever has to be one way.

Do you remember the game of telephone we played as a kid? At the beginning of a long string of people, someone whispers a short story about someone or something to the person next to them.

Then, the story is whispered to the next person. When the tale is whispered multiple times around a circle, the final story barely resembles the original one.

Is that human nature?

I’m here with Nick, who is not sure when his next meal is going to be.

And so, you know, you always have to have plenty to have in the tank just in case you lose your energy.

But I’m out here in the pasture and I just have a real simple message for you, and that is the, seize the day message that, you know, this is the journey and our goals.

I just finished doing a series of videos on preparation, which, as you know, is enormous for showing.I was in Newport Beach, California this past week. I had a little getaway with Tom and his golf group.

I was here at the beach this morning and it reminded of the idea of energy, waves, and recovery.

You may have heard me speak of this before.

It’s a beautiful summer morning here in Texas.

I’m having a good time working on short videos for my new Shine in the Show Pen program, which covers many different aspects of showing.

Hey, it’s Barb. I’m sitting on a friend’s horse in our arena, getting ready to work some cattle this morning and to work him out of the herd. Things are pretty informal at our place now. The cows are saying hi, and you know, they like to have a little snack before they start working.

You may or may not know that I’m doing a free workshop on showing, which has four parts. It’s called ShowingUP. The idea is that there are six pieces of showing—six aspects six considerations.

Hey, it’s Barb.

Thank you for your comments and input about showing, what it means to you and your different challenges. They’ve helped me put the final touches on a new live and FREE workshop, Showing Up, which will be released early this week. I’ll email you when it’s ready.

For those of you who show, go to clinics, or ride in front of other people, the entire experience is so much more than what you only see on the outside and what the results are.
