It’s Fall girlfriends! Which, in my humble opinion, is a GREAT season to make some fun plans with your gal pals.  And, it’s a perfect time, on this Girlfriendology podcast, to celebrate friendship with your stories from your September Girlfriendology Contest submissions.

We asked for your fall or Halloween stories with your girlfriends … but, to be honest with you, girlfriends are girlfriends and like to share stories, no matter the season, so we’ll share any stories you care to share about your favorite female friends.

But first, just a quickie reminder that we have an article or two on Girlfriendology.com about fun fall festivities for you and your favorite female friends to share! Visit Girlfriendology.com and check out those ideas as well as fall gifts for girlfriends!

If you’re new around Girlfriendology, let me quickly plug our monthly contests. Each month we ask YOU to share YOUR stories about the wonderful women in your life who you call “girlfriend.”

The top five stories win $10 Starbucks gift cards to take the winner and a girlfriend out for coffee on Girlfriendology. The overall top winner also receives a Girlfriendology journal. And we share as many stories as possible through the podcast so you can be inspired by other women’s friendships and stories.

Your stories are such a treat at Girlfriendology; we love to hear from you and get inspired through the stories of your friendships. Funny or memorable, touching or tragic, we are always reminded to be grateful for our girlfriends after sharing these stories.

Have a girlfriend whose friendship means the world to you?

What girlfriend has gone out of her way to take care of you when you needed it, or someone who’s been there for you, when no one else was?

SHARE that story!

Your stories will inspire others and that starts a chain reaction of women appreciating their girlfriends. Wouldn’t that create a happier, fun, friendly, compassionate world?!

Love that!

So, girlfriends, let’s dive into the inspiring women’s stories that we received in our September Girlfriendology Contest:

In November we’re going to continue to focus on the appreciation of girlfriends. Looking forward to Thanksgiving, we’d love to hear your stories on why you’re thankful for your girlfriends – friends from your childhood, school, work, neighbors, women you’ve met through other friends – the female friends have made a difference in your life.

Who are you thankful for having met? Who are you thankful to for the simple and perfect and priceless gift of friendship?

Share your stories by e-ailing them to contest (at) girlfriendology.com, or call 206-202-9005 and share your story via voicemail. Remember to include your contact information on the call.

Next week on the Girlfriendology podcast, we’ll talk with our Girlfriendology Guru of Organization - Stacey Crew. Stacey has great advice for girlfriends on how to better organize our lives, and how girlfriends can support each other through a more simplified, organized lifestyle.

All of us could use a girlfriend who helps us get organized, right? So tune in as Girlfriendology gets simple with Stacey Crew. It will change how you look at your life.

And just as a general shout out to all you listening – we love to share your girlfriend ideas, inspiration and info on Girlfriendology. There’s something you know that we don’t! Whatever it is, share it through info (at) girlfriendology.com
