When I began this journey two decades ago, I lacked the understanding of a linchpin, the small but vital element that causes chaos when not properly placed. I was forced to face unnecessary barriers. I spun my wheels. Everything appeared spectacular on the surface yet behind the scenes the whole kit and caboodle fell apart in multiple areas of my life simultaneously. I found myself in a period where nothing could move. I walked through a barren season for several years because I failed to see the significance of my linchpin. I was stuck in a vicious cycle, making movements without the ability to make progress. I had to learn how to enlarge the place of my dwelling--how to work inside-out instead of outside-in; how to make the desolate places of my circumstances inhabited; how to lengthen my cords and strengthen my stakes without fear, shame, or disgrace. |

TestimonialI wish I could tell you about Lori Merriewether. I’ll do my best with words, but to really know and understand her skills and talents, you have to experience her.
I’ve worked closely with Lori in two important capacities: developing programming for youth and providing counseling, support, accountability and stability for youth. Lori is passionate about everything she does, and she gives her all to every task no matter how large or small. She is especially gifted in the area of working with people, youth in particular. She is so attuned to those with whom she engages that she has a “knowing”, an ability to intuit those thoughts and feelings that are not expressed or that are difficult to express. She is compassionate without enabling. She demands accountability without harshness. She balances these two things seemingly effortlessly... Jeanne Torma, MSW Retired Director of Hennepin Co.
