Girlfriend Advice | Erma Bombeck, Sandra Lee & Girlfriend Gurus
April 24, 2012 – 8:47 am
“When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.”
Erma Bombeck
Advice … it’s what we women give, offer, listen to or ignore! But the root of all (sincere!) advice, is the desire to do or say whatever we can to be there for another women. It’s our way of sharing what we’ve learned, the insight we alone have and the hope that we can do something to make your life better.
On Girlfriendology, we share women’s wisdom, aka: girlfriend advice, among our fabulous female friends. We have guest blogs and Girlfriend Gurus who share their girlfriend advice on everything from saving money to saving time, from a funny approach to dieting to serious info on Read More »

Words, Women & Wit | The Erma Bombeck Sisterhood #EBWW
April 21, 2012 – 5:29 pm
It does – “It takes a lot of courage to share your dreams with someone else.” Erma Bombeck
For the past two days I’ve had the honor of attending (and speaking at) the Erma Bombeck Writer’s Workshop, a bi-annual conference for humor writers in Dayton OH. Attended largely by funny females, this gathering of creative, talented and generous writers proved to be a sisterhood brought together by a wonderful woman who unfortunately is no longer with us. (With us though, among the illustrious and successful authors/writers, was her dear family – the Bombecks each expressing their appreciation for keeping her memory and humor alive.)
There something about being around writers that makes me want to be one. (Yes, I blog but its not the Read More »

College-Bound Advice for Girlfriends | Guest Blog by Nancy Berk
April 19, 2012 – 3:09 pm
No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. – Francois Mauriac
I love my college girlfriends. So many years since graduation, Barb, Deana, Rhonda, Kleta and so many other are still in my life and will be my life-long friends. The friendship quote above is so true – these friends crossed the path of my destiny and left marks on it/me forever. And, for that, I am forever grateful.
For many girlfriends, their children are headed to college and to a stage in their life where their destiny will be influenced by the friends they make, the classes they take, their professors and experiences. Entering this new phase of motherhood, that of watching your child become independent and influenced by others, can be a challenge. This is especially true when it comes to hoping your child makes wise decisions – like where to go to school, what to study and making those life-long friends.
Fortunately we’ve got some great Read More »

Friendly advice …
July 12, 2009 – 10:04 pm
… from a girlfriend who wants the best for you.
As a busy entrepreneur, I admit, I don’t live a balanced life. I work too much and sleep too little, forego exercise for more time in front of a laptop (who manages my time more than I manage it) and, even though I totally believe what I preach (the importance, benefits and blessings of female friendship), Read More »

Girlfriend advice from Erma Bombeck
October 30, 2008 – 10:30 am
Erma Bombeck gave great girlfriend advice.
She was a ‘girlfriend’ to women by being ‘our’ voice and by making us sound funnier than we could have ourselves! She shared some great girlfriend advice, like:
- “Insanity is hereditary. You can catch it from your kids.”
- “My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first one being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.”
- “If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.”
- “The only reason I would take up jogging is so I could hear heavy breathing again.”
- “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’”
- “In general, my children refused to Read More »
