Girlfriend Secrets (and some winners!)
What’s my secret?
Well, one secret is that I keep secrets. My own, my friends’ – or at least I always try! Thankfully we have our girlfriends to confide in, to share our fears with and to plot out the path to our dreams.
Girlfriends need each other for the secrets – desires, fears, regrets, dreams and all the things that keep us awake at night. Thank goodness we have our girlfriends!
This week’s Girlfriendology newsletter focuses on secrets and winners. Don’t miss the inspiration, ideas, links and updates in next week’s newsletter – sign up!

Dear Girlfriend,
 It’s no secret … we keep secrets. Little hidden thoughts, bad decisions, fears and insecurities that we do or don’t trust with our friends. Harmless (like how rarely we mop our kitchen floor) to scary (like serious health concerns), these secrets can brew like a bad pot of coffee inside us waiting to be poured out.
Sharing them with a trusted girlfriend (or a blogosphere of them) can reduce the tension, stress and perhaps irrational fears. Sometimes just by saying them out loud, in the trusted environment of girlfriends, we can better rationalize and release them. And, whatever they are, or how serious they may be, in the safe context of a friendly conversation, we ‘lessen our load’ and feel lighter, closer and relieved. (Plus, if you need it, a good girlfriend hug makes all things better too!)
Speaking of ’secrets,’ this reminds me of one of my favorite lyrics by James Taylor:
“The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”
Enjoy some time with your girlfriends this week and share a few secrets. It will deepen your friendship, relieve stress and help you through the process of accepting, resolving, figuring out or dealing with whatever is brewing inside you.
I may know your secrets and you may know mine. But as a girlfriend, we’ll keep them safe and we’ll be there to share each other’s secrets. If you need a hug, a good cry together or someone to just listen, just call a friend who’ll be there through the passage of time. That’s what girlfriends do.
p.s. You’ll notice a new Girlfriendology.com COMMUNITY soon! Share your girlfriend secrets, tips, tricks, advice, wisdom – and make new friends. Let’s do life together!

Together we’re smarter, more powerful – and louder!
This is my third BlogHer (plus I attended Blissdom which was smaller but a similar group of women bloggers). There’s nothing QUIET about the blogosphere of women. We’re loud on our blogs, about our blogs, with our blogger girlfriends … we’re just LOUD.
But that’s okay. That’s what happens when a lot of passionate people convene. We create contagious and powerful energy. We share ideas and insights – which makes us smarter. And we strengthen each other with our support and friendship.
Do you have a group of girlfriends from whom you draw energy, power and strength? If not, who could you invite to join you and other friends to support, care and share your secrets? If so, you’re lucky and need to keep this energy and sharing going on a regular basis.
We NEED girlfriends … to share knowledge and secrets, to remind us when we’re stronger and smarter that we think we are, and to do life together – even when it gets loud and crazy. Call your girlfriends up and get together. Don’t miss the opportunity to share in each other’s lives.
THANKS Girlfriend! Have a fun, friend-filled Friday!!
