So long, and thanks for all the fish... 2.5 years. 364 posts. 900+ comments. 70+ RSS subscribers. 28,000+ hits. One very humbled girl. I never imagined the route my blogging journey would t...
And now for the disappointing part of the 100 Things to Do This Year update. There are 37 things on my 100 Things list that I didn’t do at all. 1. Creative Goddess eCourse 2. Properly house my ...
Lookit mah hairs! Here’s part two of my 100 Things to Do This Year retrospective. I had a few things on the list that were year-round goals, so I sectioned them off into their own category. 25...
It’s time to wrap up my 100 Things to Do This Year checklist! I didn’t get to everything, and some of the things were an all-year endevour, so I’m breaking this up into three separ...
JakaMerriman.com TheWholestyleNetwork.com And now… ApplesAndPorsches.com You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been kind of going through the motions here on A&P since I started up ...
I can’t believe I actually completed this one. When I set the goal, I thought I’d be too busy or be apt to fall back on rereading my old standards to really get through 50 books. But I ...
For most of my life, donating to charity has meant giving to the Salvation Army bell-ringers at Christmas. It’s not that my family doesn’t encourage kindness to strangers and the less fo...
Huzzah! Sound the trumpets and shout it from the rooftops! The Headology 2012 Yearbook has arrived! The Headology 2012 Yearbook is 38 pages of thought-provoking exercises to get your year sta...
To date, this year I have personally consumed: 4 bottles of wine 1/2 bottle of mead 16 margaritas 10 bottles of beer 1 bottle of hard cider 1 can of limbic 2 shots of rum Which amounts to about 520 o...
Actually, I’ve made 12! (And I haven’t even touched the Creative Goddess eCourse, yet….) All the pieces wound up in my work space, so here’s a picture of them all together. ...
At long last, I have a name for the pain in my pelvic area that I’ve been living with for over two years. It’s not diverticulitis, it’s not even actually a cyst. It’s endometr...
I’ll run this every year. Feel free to join in the comments to add your thoughts and your remembrance of and thanks to the soldiers you know, past and present. I’m not the best at express...
That’s right. I did it. Not totally out of the blue, but kind of out of the blue. I’ve been mulling this one over for about a year, and couldn’t nut up when I wanted to do it last...
I love being in the kitchen. Chopping, slicing, mixing, tossing, baking, frying, sauteing… It’s like a little symphony that I’m conducting. (Lino says it’s alchemy – I...
The very first headology ebook has arrived: the Headology Activity Book (for Grownups)! As children, we played all day long without once thinking that our games had any other value than sheer entert...
Besides trick-or-treating, obviously. Even as a grownup, I still wish I could beg strangers for candy without getting the police called on me. And I never did have much fun at costume parties. What...
This post will make no sense if you haven’t been reading The Headologist. Turns out my Thingie is actually a cyst on my ovary. Read about it here to give yourself some context for why I had a...
As of October 27, 2011, The Wholestyle Network will be defunct. I started this project in March 2010, hoping to start a thought movement among women. I wanted to explain the way I see the world and ...
Hot drinks have never really been my thing, barring the occasional mug of apple cider or mulled wine during the holidays. I always preferred my drinks sweet, cold, and carbonated, for preference. B...
Last year, I started canning on a whim after Hayley and I made jam from strawberries we picked ourselves. It grew to include several other local women (including Lisa), and it went so well that we d...
Yipes! I let this one sit for much too long – I did it back in May! When I mosied down to Galveston to visit my BFF, we spent a couple of days at the beach, which was awesome, and decided that...
Yesterday, I decided to take a creative day to catch up on World’s Biggest Summit and put in some art time, which was totally awesome. Five hours of crafting and projecting is just what I needed. I...
Around this time last year, I started using Goddess Leonie’s Holy Dinger meditation kit – quite a step for someone who’d only tried meditating a handful of (failed) times in their w...
MY BUSINESS CARDS CAME IN! I feel like a real businesslady now! I may have done a ridiculous happy dance around the house… (You did know I started a business, right…?)
I’m a bit frustrated by my (completely voluntary) dietary restrictions, considering the upcoming calendar of social events. Particularly a birthday dinner at a steakhouse in November, then a cheese p...
That’s right, folks! Come tomorrow, you can find my happy over-the-moon ass teaching via my first real video about self-sabotage, fear, and the Evil Auctioneer as part of Goddess Leonie’...
As much as I love museums, I rarely visit them. Not entirely sure why, but it might be related to my inability to see a movie alone – I need someone to experience them with me. It’s hard to get fol...
Here in Hamilton, we have a charming little tradition – the art crawl. On the second Friday of every month, all the little art galleries and kitschy shops on James Street North open their door...
A follow-up to my post about growing cukes and tomatoes (which was written several weeks before this) on my 100 Things list., from my morning writing: My plants are dead. And I really don’t know why...
Confession: I’ve actually been to not one, not two, but three different beaches this year – the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Erie, and Lake Huron. I’ve just put off posting cos I’m ...
