Be a Better Friend – Creatively

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.

Meet Stella – who helps girlfriends turn creativity into an entrepreneurial business!

April 7, 2008 – 12:54 am

Creative, smart, passionate women ALWAYS inspire me. You fantastic females with passion for your art, your creative ideas, your families (and, of course, your girlfriends!) all challenge other women to reach for their dreams and do what they love – and I love that!

Being creative and with a passion for an entrepreneurial lifestyle/business, I especially love and believe in the synergy that comes from combining creativity and being an entrepreneur. So, I was immediately impressed with an organization that I found that also recognized the energy and strength of commingling creativity and entrepreneurism. Meet Ladies Who Launch whose tagline is “entrepreneurship and creativity as a lifestyle.” It is the source for entrepreneurial-minded women who want to live their dreams and love their lives. Ladies Who Launch is the first company to define entrepreneurship as a lifestyle choice and connect women online and in person to foster creativity, community and support.

Ladies Who Launch offers great resources for female entrepreneurs like events and entrepreneurial incubators – plus they have a book for anyone who wants to venture into their own venture.

I interviewed STELLA GRIZONT, Director of Strategic Development for Ladies Who Launch on this week’s podcast. (She’s inspiring and impressive! See my “Lessons from a Girlfriend” post on the Girlfriendology blog.) Listen in for inspiration on turning your creative dreams into an entrepreneurial reality!

Listen in to Stella on the newest Girlfriendology Podcast. Entrepreneurial dreams or not, you’ll be inspired – maybe to start your own business or just to start a new creative project. Or maybe you’ll just be more equipped to inspire another girlfriend who may have dreams of being an entrepreneur. Inspire each other. That’s what girlfriends do! Thanks Stella! You definitely inspire me and many other women. Thanks Ladies Who Launch!

Listen to our new podcast with the Crafty Chica herself, KATHY CANO-MURILLO and she’ll tell you! In fact, she’s so enthusiastic and helpful that your creative brain will start rolling and all of a sudden, you’re on your way to a great girlfriend group.

Kathy was busy designing her new line of craft products (can’t wait to see those!) but she still took time out to talk with Girlfriendology about her fun, creative girlfriend group, “The Phoenix Fridas,” on our weekly podcast. You have to listen! I was smiling during the whole conversation! Her creativity is contagious. Her enthusiasm for her girlfriends is gregarious. Her sweet, kind, encouraging spirit is just what a girlfriend longs to hear. She rocks!

Just to share a bit about Kathy, she recently wrote her first novel and has several creative/crafty books which inspire people all over the globe. She has designed home goods for Lowe’s and has fun, funky jewelry on Target.com. And, she has a Crafty Chica Cruise coming up in March 08. Wow!
