  • Her Mindful Nature

    To paraphrase the yogi, “You can’t stop the waves, but Meryl can teach you how to surf.” Meryl gets how hard it is to stay mindful in today’s chaotic world and her insight and patience and caring made a huge difference to me and many others. Put your phone down and listen.
