Month of Friendship – Day 2: Girlfriend Gratitude
September 2, 2010 – 12:04 pm
My friend Carole is awesome (left in photo). Recently she’s been through ’stuff’ (medical and relationship not-so-fun stuff), yet she comes out of it with her passionate personality and super-sized heart fully engaged. She embraces life on a daily basis with joy and this amazing robust energy. It’s kinda like a B12 shot just to be around her!
Unfortunately, I don’t get to be around her very often. We live about an hour from each other. This past weekend we shared a cup of coffee and a fun conversation – and not virtually, face-to-face where we could share hugs, conversations and smiles. She’s that kind of friend with whom you pick up where you left off. She’s also the Read More »

Girlfriend Advice – What we need to know and share about Uterine Cancer
September 1, 2010 – 3:23 pm
Did you know it’s predicted that one in four women will suffer from Uterine Cancer in their lifetime?
I so respect women who passionately reach out to help other women. They inspire me to be more supportive, proactive and involved in women’s causes and in sharing information that can help women, and, in this case, possibly save their lives.
So when KANDI JAEGER approached Girlfriendology about sharing information on Uterine Cancer, we knew it was going to be great girlfriend advice and info. As she shares, September is Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month so it’s perfect timing for sharing this information with your girlfriends. Together we can make the world better with our friendships and healthier by Read More »

I love the anticipation of special moments. Presents to open, laughs to share, smiles to greet me and arms open to hug. I embrace the hope of good things to come.

As a friend, I want only the best for my friends and love knowing they wish the same for me. As a friend, I want to accompany them on this journey through life – through the highs and lows, around scary Read More »

Month of Friendship: Needing new Friends is Normal!
August 31, 2010 – 1:33 pm
Do you have friends nearby? Do you need some new friends in your life?
It’s so important to have a support system of friends. So important! While online and long distance friends are amazing, sometimes you just need to go have a glass of wine or get a manicure together with your ‘bestie’ (BFF). What happens when your BFF is across the country? Is that normal to need new friends?
It’s September and we’re celebrating the Month of Friendship with some of our girlfriends, like SHASTA NELSON who share this inspiration with us on what’s the norm when it comes to friends. Enjoy!
Needing New Friends is Normal!
When I moved to San Francisco, I had an amazing circle of friends spread across the country but soon realized that as much as I loved Facebook and my iPhone—I certainly didn’t want Read More »

Friendship Month – Celebrate with the Friendship Circle!
August 30, 2010 – 10:03 am
Admit it. We love to celebrate holidays.
Some because we get the day off work (thank you Presidents Lincoln and Washington), some out of respect (Labor Day and Memorial Day), some based on relationships like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We show our love on Valentine’s Day, our gratitude on Thanksgiving and our history on the 4th of July. We even go so far as to recognize our passions with National Ice Cream Month and Rubber Duckie Day, our fears – National Mold Awareness Month (yikes!) and pretend everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
We’ve got a holiday for just Read More »
