Reviews

Roms self-searching leads to India, where she meets gurus and lovers and makes inroads into the wilderness of her deepest heart. Her story inspires me to question my own habits of being. She says yes! to life, with all its mysterious and unexpected turnings. This is a courageous adventure and love story. Lindsay Fleming, contributing writer at the Baltimore Fishbowl Just Be so beautifully shares a journey of self-love and the willingness to explore this mysterious life. Meredith Rom delicately guides us to trust in our all-knowing selves, bringing us out of our own darkness and into the light with her. This memoir holds nothing back as she allows us to witness her rites of passage into a new-found maturity. Through this twenty-something heroines journey, all will be inspired to open our hearts to the synchronicity life is always offering, on this endless path of self-discovery. Luna Love, Womens Alignment & Leadership Mentor + Social Justice Advocate At its heart, Just Be is the story of a young woman seeking a sense of purpose that moves her, quenching her thirst for adventure, and yearning to fully inhabit her body and soul. That quest in itself makes the memoir a poignant read, but the discoveries and connections Rom makes along the way transcend twenty-something wanderlust and have the power to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds. Anyone with a curious mind and an open heart can find meaningful insights and delightful surprises in these pages." Kimber Simpkins, author of Full and 52 Ways to Love Your Body "Part Siddhartha and part Through the Looking Glass, Rom's finely told story of her six-month solo journey through India (at age 23!) gently takes the reader along on her quest for spiritual meaning and real love." Clare Meeker, award-winning children's book author
