New Year, New Start | Being a Better Friend by Danae Matthews

January 11, 2012 – 9:10 am

New Year, New Year’s Resolutions. We all think about them; some of us commit to them, and some of us even write them down. Some of us make a resolution to be a better friend to our girlfriends.

What does it mean to be a better friend? Guest blogger Danae Matthews shares her experience realizing what a real friend truly is.

I have a friend, for this story let’s call her Sarah, who quite frequently says to me that she doesn’t need any more friends. Until very recently I chalked up this particular one-liner to be some sort of defense mechanism. You don’t need any more friends?? Who could ever Read More »

November 17, 2011 – 8:12 am

Sometimes it’s tough to be the kind of friend you’d like to have – especially when your friend has cancer. That goes beyond tough – that’s overwhelmingly painful to see and to know the right thing to do for them. That’s why we need girlfriend advice on how to be a friend to a friend with cancer.

MAILET LOPEZ has been there. She’s been through cancer and has seen the reaction that friends had to this terrible disease. She’s an amazing survivor and founder of ‘I Had Cancer‘ – a social support network for cancer fighters, survivors and supporters.

November 14, 2011 – 8:15 am

Girlfriends are there for each other – in sickness and in health, right? Great girlfriend advice on how to really be there for each other, especially in sickness.

We all go through ’stuff – bad stuff like sickness or sadness, fear or frustration, loneliness or stressful life changes. Those are tough times – especially if we feel like we’re going through them alone. Thanks to girlfriend ELIZABETH NORTON for sharing great girlfriend advice in this guest blog about a time when she needed friends. She shares the insights we all need to be a better friend. (Thanks Elizabeth!)

There was a time—when I was sick—when I felt like I had no friends. I am sure I had “some” friends, but none of the friends I had were ever sick. They didn’t know what Read More »

Girlfriend Lessons from America’s Next Top Model

October 16, 2011 – 8:08 am

Do you watch Reality TV, girlfriend? If our own Judi is not on Twitter, it’s a good bet she’s found a new Reality TV show! In this blog, she shares some of the real life lessons she’s found.

I was watching a re-run of America’s Next Top Model today (I know, but really, I just can’t help myself sometimes). If you have somehow missed this phenomenon, Tyra Banks (whom I LOVE) hosts a reality show in which a bunch of ultra thin young things compete for the title of America’s Next Top Model (and a bunch of really cool prizes).

There are a couple of things that have always surprised me about this show.

One is that these girls are not necessarily Read More »

Good girlfriends are like soul mates. They just get you. They understand what’s going through your mind when you’re upset he hasn’t called back, helped pay rent, or spent enough time with the kids. They get it when you just feel like you can’t take anymore or if you simply need to get out and let loose. Girlfriends can even feel like your other half sometimes. To my single girls out there, you probably Read More »

The Apology from All Girlfriends to All Girlfriends | How do you say I’m Sorry?

June 19, 2011 – 6:38 pm

I apologize, Girlfriend.

I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. I am sorry all the way down to the bottom of my toes.

And I truly hope you will forgive me and give me another chance.

That’s the thing about girlfriends. We don’t mess up on purpose. But we’re human, and our best intentions don’t always line up with our reality. When we mess up too often, we threaten friendships. But in general, when we goof, we apologize, and our girlfriends forgive us.

Is there a right way to apologize?

Someone once told me that Read More »
