HOPE Sings – Share the song with a friend
March 11, 2010 – 12:02 pm
“HOPE is a thing with feathers, that perches in the soul & sings the tune without words & never stops at all.”
Emily Dickinson
One of my first trips with my husband included a drive across Texas. It was a sunny, memorable day as a beautiful bird floated gracefully above the road ahead of us. Down the road, another bird graced us with her ‘air show’ and hence, we began noticing the aerial ‘angels’ watching over us. To this day, we still notice when birds seem to watch ahead for us and often point up and say, “There’s our friend.”
HOPE is that kind of friend. Out of the blue it can Read More »

Girlfriend Review – New Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers
March 10, 2010 – 7:08 pm
What do you recommend to your girlfriends?
Generally I recommend things I think they’d like, things they’d like to buy/do/know and, selfishly (because I want my girlfriends to live a long, healthy life!) I’ll try to sneak in some girlfriend advice that will benefit them.
Such is the case with this rare but fun review of a healthy food line. Right up front, I’ve worked with Healthy Choice in the past. I was their ‘Brand Ambassador‘ at BlogWorld Expo and I met with them there and at Blissdom recently. What I love about them is that they are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I had the opportunity to meet some of their food scientists and hear how they go through recipe variation after variation to find what natural foods and flavors they can add to make a convenient, healthy frozen meals (or some new ones can be in your desk drawer ready for a hot lunch!).
First, they’re the only major brand in their category that can Read More »

Women: Finding Yourself, Girlfriend Daily Inspiration
March 10, 2010 – 2:34 pm
“You never find yourself until you face the truth.”
Pearl Bailey
I love my friend Judi. She is smart, very sassy, funny and always there for me. She’s beautiful, inside and out. But you might not know that from her photo on her social media bios. I don’t know if she is waiting to lose weight or get a new hair style, if she wants professional make-up or a magic wand of some sort. (And, to be honest, she doesn’t need any of the above!)
She’s much prettier than she was 10+ years ago when her photo was taken. Sure, she Read More »

Women: Your Goal …. Daily Inspiration
March 9, 2010 – 2:08 pm
“
The goal must not be to find a job, but to become a magnificent woman.”
Marianne Williamson
What’s the first thing most people ask when they meet at a party? Not … Are you a nice person? What makes you smile? Or … Who gave you the best hug you’ve ever had?
No. It’s usually: What do you do for a living? What’s your JOB? But does the title of your job actually define you? Does it give insight into who you really are? Does it tell me what makes you happy or what your dreams are?
If you’re doing what you love and it is meeting your passions, you go girl! But sometimes we struggle with what we want our legacy to be, our life calling, our answer to questions from strangers at parties.
Shouldn’t our goal in life just be Read More »

Women’s History Month – Everyday WE are making history!
March 5, 2010 – 12:36 pm
Everyday women make history.
Even if we’re just making pancakes for cute kiddos, or perfecting our favorite yoga pose. Even if we’re blogging about our lives or spending time with a friend – it’s the history that makes our lives and creates the world we live in – and that others call the ‘future.’
We’re celebrating National Women’s History Month as well as International Women’s Day on Monday, March 8th. So, we’re celebrating women this month – and well, to be honest, every day of every month because we’re the girlfriends who make history and build families, we’re the women who dream dreams and we’re the fabulous females who befriend and support each other. Because, that’s what girlfriends do.
Here’s this week’s update (which you can get personalized to YOU by clicking the orange tab to the left). Join us in making history together! Read More »
