About Me

Coach Merlin
After teaching for 15 years and publishing spirituality materials for 25, I've changed careers again. I do phone coaching from a patch of Kansas prairie that I have endeavored to turn into Eden. I teach guitar to kids as my hobby/public service. I've taught the Enneagram for 15 years and have written four books on it. I use it actively even more than I teach it as a body of knowledge.
