A blog is like a home. It shows personality and passions, displays all the things that decorate life and is a wonderful place to greet friends. So, welcome girlfriend! Here at the Girlfriendology blog, we chat about life as a woman, a girlfriend, an entrepreneur and all the big and little things in life that make it much more fun to experience with a friend. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and make yourself at home!
Recently we asked YOU to tell us what YOU are dealing with. (As girlfriends, we want to know what’s going on in your life and what’s stressing you, etc. - those fun details friends know about each other!) So many of you were so generous with your time that you shared your thoughts through our survey. (Image by Debbie Mumm – love her!)
And, what did the survey say? Well, see the following newsletter for the results. And, know that as a friend (who you trusted with your honest answers – thanks so much!), we’re working on some ways to help you with your stress, to lower your anxiety over so many of the issues that we deal with and to encourage you along the way with inspiration, appreciation and celebration of female friendship.
Thanks again for your survey sharing and for being part of our inspiration for Girlfriendology. If there are other ways we can help take away some of your stress and make your life better, PLEASE share! We welcome your comments and ideas. And, like a good girlfriend, we want to be here to LISTEN to YOU.
Guide to the Online Community for Women based on Female Friendship
February 6, 2009
Dear Girlfriend,Hi from Nashville TN! We’re here for Blissdom – a conference for women bloggers. Together with my girlfriends Lucrecer and Carole, we made the drive to come learn what we could learn and, more importantly, meet who we could meet.
On the drive we shared Twitter tips, ideas for growing our sites, technology advice and just general girlfriend wisdom. We laughed at stories about our kids and pets, teared up over sad times and shared our goals for both our businesses and lives.
As much as we shared, we all listened. We got to know each other much better and to appreciate the worlds we each live in. As girlfriends, we listened with consideration, grace and acceptance. Listening is just one of the many blessings of having BFFs.
Another great benefit of girlfriends is how we want the best for each other. At Girlfriendology, we want the best for YOU and recently we LISTENED to you about the challenges you face and the struggles in your life. In our recent survey, YOU told us what stresses you most.
So Girlfriend – What brings you stress? Survey says: (all of the following)
You shared (thanks!) and we listened, so we’re gearing up for March and tackling some of these stress solutions. Because, we want the best for you – like a girlfriend should.
P.S. Research proves that spending time with your girlfriends reduces stress, so even if you’re busy and overwhelmed with life, make time for your friends and you’ll be energized. Try it!
Just between girlfriends …
… like shoe shopping, chocolate and The Bachelor updates!
Here’s what’s going on:

Our surveys showed that you’re stressed, and as a girlfriend, we want to help take that away. That’s why we inspire you to spend time with your girlfriends, to make your friends a priority in your life and to remind you to appreciate and celebrate girlfriends.
Make some plans to spend time with a friend. Throw a Valentine’s party for the girlfriends who are there for you every day and every Valentine’s Day. Plan ahead for an Oscar’s party (Feb. 22). Just make time for each other – you’ll be de-stressed and happy!That’s what the survey says!
