September 1, 2010 – 9:48 am

FRIENDSHIP Be a Better Friend Day 1 of an amazing Month of Friendship!

I love the anticipation of special moments. Presents to open, laughs to share, smiles to greet me and arms open to hug. I embrace the hope of good things to come. New friends and the lessons they’ll teach me, trust that my true friends will be in my life for a long, long time and hope for cures for my friends’ cancers (we’ve got to have hope, right?).

As a friend, I want only the best for my friends and love knowing they wish the same for me. As a friend, I want to accompany them on this journey through life – through the highs and lows, around scary Read More »

Be a better friend – in the Highs and Lows
July 30, 2010 – 10:15 am

Friendship Girlfriend Molly with Girlfriendology flowerEver have one of those weeks? HIGH highs and LOW lows – and everything in between?

Last week my DH (aka: ‘dear husband’) was out of town. My plan was to diet, exercise and do lots of work. Reality: I did pretty well on my eating healthy (he wasn’t around to spoil me with carbs!) and got the treadmill in a few times as well as a bunch of dog walks. I did work lots but maybe not quite as much as I anticipated.

Why not? My girlfriends. I had a happy hour with Tina, Becky and Lynn. (High high) Wine on the porch with Anne. Another happy hour with the Cincinnati.com LOL Bloggers (thanks Chris & co.!). I had meeting with Bridgett and went to a movie with Penny. All HIGH highs. It was a wonderful way to enjoy the week by reconnecting with so many of my favorite females.

The big HIGH and LOW came on Saturday. I attended a Read More »

Girlfriends help make Dreams a Reality
July 15, 2010 – 1:41 pm

Friendship Janna Antenorcruz

What makes you happy? What do you dream about accomplishing?

Do your girlfriends know your hopes and dreams? Do you share your goals and ideas with the wonderful women in your life?

You might want to! As your friend, we want to share in your dreams (and celebrating when we reach our dreams!). With the support of our girlfriends, as well as their ideas, connections and assistance, we are more equipped to achieve our goals and see our dreams become a reality!. Accountability girlfriends can help us stay on track and offer suggestions. Girlfriend groups (like an entrepreneurial group or a blogger network), can give us the power of a team even when we’re going it alone. We can accomplish amazing things with Read More »

Be a Better Friend – Freedom and Friendship
July 2, 2010 – 9:18 am

Friendship American FlagI love my independence. I love that I can read, shop, eat and dress as I please. I love that I can travel, own property, have a business and make my own decisions. I can vote, worship and express my opinion. I love the freedom and protection bought by the dedication of decades of women and men.

And fortunately, that independence allows me the opportunity to be dependent. I’m blessed to have a dependable husband, new roof (yeah!), dog (the cat isn’t always dependable!) and 4-year old car. And I’m so honored to have friends, on whom I can depend. Thoughtful, helpful, wonderful, beautiful girlfriends who are there for me to get together with for a movie (thanks Julie!), to take care of Read More »

Be a Better Friend – Creatively
May 14, 2010 – 4:09 pm

Girlfriendology - Be a Better Friend

Today’s creative ideas for being a better friend!

Several years ago I worked in the craft/hobby industry.
  • Was it fun to receive and work with lots of creative products? (And does my basement still look like a mini Michaels?!) Sure.
  • Did I enjoy being on HGTV (with the creative and kind Carol Duvall, shown below), QVC and PBS? Definitely.
  • Was writing a book something I got to check off my dream board? Yep.

Jill Mackay and Debba HaupertBut, by far, the best thing about it was the creative girlfriends I met and the lasting friendships I made with some amazing women like my BFF Jill (shown here) – a superstar designer, plus girlfriends Katie Hacker, Lisa, Vicki, Renee (see below!) and many more!

Together girlfriends come up with creative solutions, create new ways to inspire each other and find fun ways to be a better friend.

Join us on Girlfriendology for a creative approach to friendship and Read More »

Girlfriend Advice – thank goodness!
May 1, 2010 – 12:28 am

Girlfriends at cafeWhat’s the best girlfriend advice you’ve ever received?

From the time we’re kids and dressing up with our friends, to the time we’re old and probably still dressing up with our friends … we share a lot of girlfriend advice. Make-up advice, organization advice, travel advice, shopping advice – there’s a whole ‘lotta sharing going on between girlfriends.

That’s just one of the wonderful benefits of girlfriends … we have someone who knows us, whom we trust and respect, and who only wants the best for us helping us with little and big decisions. That’s pretty cool. It’s like having a personal consultant, a wise advisor and a trusted sister – all Read More »
