Five Great Reasons to Send a Card | Girlfriend Advice on Snail Mail
July 12, 2011 – 7:27 pm
Hey Girlfriend, if you’re like many of us, it’s been a while since you sent a card to a friend. Here are five great reasons to pick up a pen, find a stamp, and use snail mail to be a better girlfriend.
Think about it: How do you feel when you go to the mail box? Do you feel that little jolt of expectation? That little hint of anticipation that something fabulous might be there waiting for you? And then are you thoroughly disappointed with the pile of bills, circulars, and junk mail you actually receive?
When was the last time you found something in your mailbox that made you smile? We have all gotten so caught up in email and texting that the art of sending something snail mail is all but forgotten. And simply because it is such a rarity, it makes a huge difference to get a personal, handwritten card from a friend.

January 17, 2011 – 9:43 pm
“The more you praise & celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
Oprah
We’re all about ‘Inspiration, Appreciation and Celebration of Female Friendship’ (AKA: girlfriends!) but this week we’re celebrating CELEBRATING! Any why not? (We’re thinking Oprah agrees!)
Aren’t female friends worth celebrating? Deserving of parties and presents? Our favorite friends whom we love to surprise, spoil and make feel special?

Celebrating … 5 Years of Inspiration, Appreciation & Celebration of Girlfriends
January 6, 2011 – 6:23 pm
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. Initially, it was inspired by two girlfriends who were dealing with cancer, Allison and Dana. Their struggles and prognosis made me want to be with my girlfriends, not just them but all of the wonderful women in my life.
I did a little research to explore the dynamics of female friendship and if we really needed it in our lives and found a wonderful book that confirmed everything I had been thinking - The Tending Instinct, by Shelley E. Taylor. There’s proof – we NEED girlfriends! So, Girlfriendology.com launched to promote, inspire and celebrate 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 »

Why a ‘female friendship flower’?
November 28, 2009 – 12:17 pm
Girlfriendology female friendship flower
We have hearts for love, happy faces, xoxox and ’smiley face’ emoticons. You can ‘Facebook friend’, follow on Twitter, connect on LinkedIn. There’s lots of ways of showing your relationship status … well, at least for some types of relationships.
Female friendship makes women healthier, happier, less stressed, live longer and even feel more beautiful. (See The Tending Instinct book or this Dove study for proof of that.) We gain strength and inspiration from each other, have a trusted source for advice, and have someone who loves us for who we are – that’s a pretty important role, Read More »

Appreciation – for girlfriend gifts & birthdays
November 13, 2009 – 6:52 am
To be honest, I never really look forward to my birthday.
I enjoy the cards and calls, but would rather skip the addition to my age. And, to continue being honest, I know this is silly (kinda!). I know the numeric value of decades and years isn’t important to the people who are important to me – my friends who love me. I don’t love a friend any less or more because she fits into a higher or lower ‘age category’ than myself. Read More »
