Are your friends your family?
April 14, 2010 – 4:00 pm
Who do you call when you have good or not-so-good news? Friends or family?
Who do you spend time with on a regular basis, celebrate your birthday with, enjoy the anticipation of seeing again SOON? Who gives you the perfect birthday gift? Knows when to talk and when to listen? Lets you cry or makes you laugh?
For me, it’s my girlfriends. My sisters are great and are girlfriends, but most of my everyday moments and my highs and lows are spent with my BFFs. Read More »

Self-Love – It’s not as easy as it sounds
February 11, 2010 – 5:28 pm
I love my girlfriends. No doubt about it!
I love my husband and my pets (and obviously love any opportunity to show them off in cute photos!). I love my family, my friends, my country, my street and my great neighbors. I love Chicago and London, Paris and visiting our friends in MN, CO, PA and IN. I love Mexican food, fabulous shoes, American’s Funniest Home Videos, and the way my cat sits in front of the vent in the winter to stay warm. (I also love hearing what makes my girlfriends smile like this wonderful post from girlfriend Sugar Jones.) Thoughtful gifts from friends, Twitter and book club with girlfriends – more things to love and to make life more connected and fun. But what about me? How’s that relationship? Where is the love there? Read More »

Who makes it to the BFF level or even to the”I could sit and talk with you for hours” status? We all need female friendship – without it we’d be stressed, less confident, unhappy and unhealthy. But how do we choose the special friends who become part of who we are and, with whom, we can completely be ourself? Today’s DAILY INSPIRATION addresses this, in such a perfect way … Read More »

The Argument for Friendship
October 21, 2009 – 9:10 am
Why do we, as women, need female friendship?
I met a man recently and shared with him what Girlfriendology is about. How our goal, and the reason we started this, is to inspire women to share life with their female friends. It’s our own mission to make women healthier, happier, live longer, less stressed and feel more beautiful (all the proven benefits of female friendship). Girlfriendology is here to remind women to reach out to new friends, spend time with each other and appreciate the women in our lives. We want to inspire you to be a better friend. We strive to celebrate friendship and the wonderful way that women collaborate, support and encourage each other. Read More »

Day 2 of National Women’s Friendship Month – what are you doing today to celebrate?
On our recent roadtrip across the midwest, I took a little time out to visit one of my favorite girlfriend gift shopping sites – Patina, in Minneapolis.

Quiet moments …
May 23, 2009 – 10:02 am
… a cup of coffee on the porch, birds singing in the trees, a sleeping dog, the cat in the window keeping watch, a good book in a comfy chair, sitting in silence with a friend and being conscientious and appreciative of the moment.
Life’s about the simple things. Read More »
