12 Days of Friendship | Girlfriend Gratitude
January 4, 2012 – 10:55 am
The holidays are behind us. A new year is ahead of us. And who’s here with us – through it all? GIRLFRIENDS!
Today we’re celebrating our final day in our 12 Days of Friendship – spread over the Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years holidays. We’re unwrapping our final present – the gift of girlfriend gratitude.
My girlfriend Jill and I had this conversation recently while hanging out at the dog park. Why is it that we generally gravitate to what is wrong in our lives?

Time flies when you’re having fun … with your girlfriends!
Five years ago this month I started Girlfriendology. It was just a dream (that grew (-: ) of inspiring women to appreciate and celebrate the wonderful gift of female friendship.

It’s grown over the past five years to be a wonderful (and, might I add, beautiful!) community of women. We have over 20,000 (primarily) women as our Twitter followers, 13,000+ female Facebook Friends, and receive over 100,000 female impressions DAILY – Read More »

The more ’stuff’ life heaps on me (you know, the not-so-fun stuff, the things that stress you out), the more I need my girlfriends.
I’m so thankful for each of the wonderful women who bless my life, who make me a better person, who give me grace and support, who ‘do life’ with me. So thankful. Thanksgiving’s over but it’s always a great day to show some girlfriend gratitude! Read More »
