Program Titles
- Simply God: Recovering the Part of You That’s God
Rebecca Merriman: “To bed with the chickens and up with them,” she says. Simple mornings with reading and journal writing.
“I began getting to know myself through journal writing,” Merriman says. “The better I got to know myself, the more I realized how much I loved simplicity, solitude and writing.”
“Only a personal experience can evoke an understanding of the transformational power of such a solo sojourn”
In natural surroundings, she found the joys of solitude, simplicity and inspiration. With new happiness and a sense of self-awareness, she wrote. And the words she wrote at her mountain getaway became her first book, “Simply Happy.”
“Simply Happy: How to Simplify Your Life and Find Happiness” offered common-sense approaches to simplification and allowed Merrimen to share her bliss.
“I walked out into the cold, dark morning and looked up at the stars. Tears welled up, and I cried out, ‘God, I’m begging you–set me free!”
“As clear as crystal, a small voice said ‘You are free.”
Her second book came quickly. “Simply Free: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living” documented her awakening and subsequent freedom.
“Simply Free” was more spiritual than its predecessor, “Simply Happy.”
“What had promised to be a glamorous career lost its glimmer. I felt like a charlatan as I continued to teach about bliss.”
“…After all those years it took to find my bliss, here I am not following it…teaching others that life’s too short not to…what a phony I am.”
“After realizing how weary I had become of teaching others how to find their bliss, it occurred to me I had misplaced mine,” she says. “My soul was hungry.”
Book three, “Simply God: Recovering the Part of You That’s God,” came after the re-simplification.
Merriman turned inward again and is working on her fourth book.
Book four, a collection of essays, breaks away from the self-help style of her previous three books.
“I am no longer concerned with whether my books sell,” Merriman says. “I’m just writing more and more of what’s in my heart, knowing this hunger to write is an indication it’s what I’m born to do–at least, in this period of my life.”
