December 8, 2011 – 8:25 am
Are you and your friends ‘just alike’? Do you dress, think, vote, look the same? Or do you have some friends who are your opposite – but, somehow, they’re the perfect friend?
We’re talking friendships this week with someone who knows about having friends like you – and friends who are not like you – and loving and learning from them both! LISTEN IN as we talk with CHERIE BURBACH, editor of About.com/Friendship about female friendship. And, below she shares this great guest blog on how ‘opposites attract’ among friends …

What would happen if women all supported each other?
October 17, 2011 – 10:52 pm
What would happen if … all women looked for the good in other women? … every woman felt enabled to go after her dreams because she had too many women to count, counting on her doing so? … we all felt as strong as an army of amazing females?
It’s a pretty fabulous idea … women supporting women. Not talking behind their backs or secretly hoping they’d fail so we’d somehow feel bigger or better ourselves. Women encouraging each other, inspiring other women, teaching and sharing, then celebrating our Read More »

How to Understand Your Girlfriend’s Health Problems | Cherie Burbach, Guest Blog
September 7, 2011 – 6:59 am
Talk about great girlfriend advice! Girlfriend Cherie Burbach shows us the “how to’s” to being a friend with someone with a chronic illness.
In this great guest blog in honor of International Women’s Friendship Month (aka: #FriendshipMonth), a girlfriend shares how to be a better friend to a friend dealing with a chronic illness …
She looks fine. She smiles. She seems happy. But inside, she is suffering.
Maybe she has diabetes, fibromyalgia, asthma, arthritis, depression, or any one of the diseases you may not even know your girlfriend has because there aren’t outward signs. How can you support her if you really don’t know what she’s dealing with?
For people with no health problems at all, it’s hard to understand when someone is sick. I can tell you that as a Type 1 diabetic, there are numerous times that people make assumptions about my disease. Our girlfriends have the power to make Read More »

#RulesForGirls vs. #GirlfriendAdvice (aka: The #Hashtag Controversy)
January 26, 2011 – 4:16 pm
Being healthier, happier, less stressed, living longer and feeling more beautiful … just some of the benefits of female friendship. What else?
About.com/Women’s Issues editor, LINDA LOWEN, shared a #Hashtag controversy in her newsletter today, in an article called: “Instead of Mean-Spirited #RulesForGirls, Let’s Share Advice for Women.”
Background: Recently a Twitter topic (as indicated by the #) generated responses to #RulesForGirls. I’m not sure who started it or for what reason, but it went from helpful ‘rules for girls’ (like: “Don’t let scars from your previous relationships conflict your future relationships. Don’t carry baggage with you. Its heavy!”) to extremely in-poor-taste replies ranging from just stupid (IMHO) to incredibly Read More »

Remembering Elizabeth Edwards & Dana
December 8, 2010 – 11:37 am
Remembering our girlfriends we’ve lost …
Rest in peace Elizabeth Edwards. You were a good mom, a supportive and faithful partner and a strong woman who inspired so many women.
My friend LINDA LOWEN, the Women’s Issues editor for About.com, had this to say about Elizabeth:
She touched our lives and evolved beyond the stereotypical “candidate’s wife.” She endured three of the worst tragedies a woman can face — the death of a child, a diagnosis of cancer, and an unfaithful husband. Yet her name became synonymous with resilience, and she inspired every woman who knew her story. Within 24 hours of learning that Elizabeth Edwards had discontinued treatment, we heard of her passing. We lost her too soon.
Just a day before, when hearing of Elizabeth Edwards’ situation, Linda wrote a touching tribute to her girlfriend Dana, who also passed away much too soon – for her friend Linda and for her three little boys.
Her story and tribute brought me to tears – not only for her pain and sadness, but for mine. Read More »
