A Simpler Way of Living
Starts With Remembering
I didn’t set out to teach anything.
I just started noticing what felt true…
and what didn’t.
Personal Journey
A Journey of Discovery Through Nature and Simplicity
I grew up on a sailboat in the Florida Keys,
where water, wind, and weather were part of everyday life.
From an early age, I learned something simple,
nature isn’t separate from us…
it’s something we live within.
When I was 10,
I moved to Melbourne, Florida
to live with my grandmother.
That shift shaped me in new ways,
but my connection to nature stayed.
Later, I studied human behavior
and spent 15 years working with non-verbal children with autism.
That experience taught me something I still carry,
real communication doesn’t always come through words.
Over time, that understanding deepened
into a path of listening…
To people
To patterns
To the natural world
Eventually, I found my way into permaculture and sacred ecology—
learning from teachers who helped me see:
Simple living isn’t about doing less…
it’s about making space for what’s real.
This is the path that led to Simple as That
If you’ve ever felt the pull to slow down, to reconnect with something more real, you are not alone. This space is for that remembering.
In the embrace of nature, we find clarity, connection, and the beauty of simplicity.
Terry Meer
I believe that nature can guide us back to our true selves and teach us to live authentically.
I don’t see this as a philosophy…
just something I’ve noticed over time.
When we slow down and spend time in nature,
things begin to come back into focus.
What matters feels clearer.
What doesn’t starts to fall away.
Simple living isn’t about doing less —
it’s about making space for what’s real.
And the more we listen,
the more life begins to show us the way.
