How was your 2011? What are your goals for 2012 girlfriend?

First, girlfriends – we hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah and a Happy, HAPPY New Year! It’s a wonderful season to celebrate our friendships and our hope for the future. We are so blessed. I’m thankful for the holidays and this season of spending time, giving gifts and showing our love for friends and family.

At Girlfriendology we’re grateful for a year of connections, inspiration and joy – all from friendships. We’re thankful for all the beauty, wisdom and kindness of girlfriends. We have amazing appreciation for the lessons we’ve learned from Oprah, from girlfriends, from children, from life.

We’re thankful for 2011 and some of our best moments:

1. More Girlfriends – AKA: GIRLFRIEND GURUS — We’re so thankful for some amazing women who share their women’s wisdom with Girlfriendology every month as a Girlfriend Guru. It’s a great group of girlfriends who share great girlfriend advice like from:

Want to be a Girlfriend Guru? We’d love to share your women’s wisdom!

2. Great Girlfriend & the ‘Chief of Insanely Brilliant Ideas’ JUDI COGEN – We’re so thrilled to have an amazing girlfriend helping us bring Girlfriendology to the women we need to reach. The amazing, smart, funny, caring, sweet, thoughtful girlfriend who is helping to make female friendship higher on your awareness and appreciation. We love JUDI!

3. Girlfriend Cruise & Janet DeVito - We had the ‘most awesome’ girlfriend experience this summer! We went on a Girlfriend Cruise to Bermuda with the Guru of Girlfriend Cruises – Janet DeVito. It was F-U-N! And we’re going again in 2012!! JOIN US! It was so awesome – traveling and spending time with girlfriends. Thanks girlfriend Janet for bringing girlfriends together!

4. Girlfriendology Recommended: BIZ Stain Fighter! – We’re thrilled to partner with Biz Stain Fighter in 2012, as we did in 2011 – but even in a BIGGER way. We’re also working with another great brand (by the same amazing, fun friends at BIZ) of Mean Green. We’re GEEKED to work with Biz all through – 2012!
