… the one who always gives you perfect, thoughtful gifts … the woman who listens to your stories and asks about specific things in your life because she really cares … the friend who makes you feel ’special.’

Hopefully – you do know that friend. If you’re really blessed, you may even have more than one. They’re the friends who make you feel as special, as their friendship is to you.

Those special friendship are what we strive for. To be a better friend. To be the kind of friend we’d love to have. Like Olympic athletes (like Dara Torres) and best-selling authors, shouldn’t we Read More »

Be a better friend … like Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha

May 27, 2010 – 1:31 pm

Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte. Alone, they’re not ‘Sex and the City.’ Girlfriends need each other.

Sex and the City 2
Maybe you love them or you hate them. Maybe you don’t even care … but they do offer an interesting insight into girlfriends who consider each other soul-mates. They’ve been through boyfriends, husbands, ex-husbands, kids, parents, jobs and life together – as girlfriends do. And they’ve come out of it with laughs, tears, memories and forever friendships.

Plus, you’ve got to love that Mr. Big said to Carrie’s girlfriends (shared in this guest blog), “You’re the loves of her life and a guy’s Read More »

Be a Better Friend – It’s the Little Things

May 21, 2010 – 12:39 pm

Girlfriendology - Be a Better Friend

It’s true. It’s the little things.

The phone call to check on you when you really need to share. The hug that you don’t want to end. The eyes that say she’s there for you. Time together when you really need it.

Lisa and GlendaOne ‘little’ way to be there for each other is as simple as the “one mouth, two ears rule: use in proportion.Listening is one of the great gifts of female friendship.

Do you want to be a better friend? It’s a little thing – and such a big deal 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 »

Not necessarily. Sometimes it just takes asking the right question and really listening to what’s going on in her life.

Sometimes it takes being there for her when her parent passes away or when she’s battling a scary thing like cancer.

We’re all on a journey … to find and Read More »

April 2, 2010 – 11:30 am

Gayle Kind and Oprah BFFs

What would be like to be the most famous BFF in the world? Do you think you’d feel any pressure to always say the right thing, to give the most perfect girlfriend gifts, shower her with compliments and never be grumpy?

That’s just one of the many things I’d love to ask Gayle King about being Oprah’s BFF. (Just putting it out there in case anyone knows anyone who knows Gayle!) Things like: Do you help Oprah with her Spring Cleaning? (Okay, I was just kidding on that one.)

What would your BFF say about your friendship? Would you be Read More »
