Six Years of Female Friendship | Girlfriends Rule!
January 16, 2012 – 11:47 pm
We all have a story. And most times they involve our friends, our wonderful, dearly loved girlfriends!
The story of Girlfriendology began with a girlfriend story (as, of course, it should!). Two girlfriends, Dana and Allison, were dealing with cancer. I was overwhelmed with a need to be around my female friends – not just Dana and Allison, but all my friends. I wanted to spend time with my girlfriends to learn how to be a better friend to Dana and Allison. I wanted to be near the wonderful women in my life to give me strength and knowledge.
So, I created Girlfriendology as a ‘love letter’ to my friends.
That was six years (1/20/06), 1600+ blog posts, 275+ interviews with inspiring women (podcasts and BlogTalkRadio shows), 25+ blogger/social media conferences, a TV commercial and national newspaper ad feature, dozens of advertisers and sponsors (most recently our new sponsor Biz Stain Fighter signed on for our Read More »

Thankful for my Friends | Keeping the Attitude of Gratitude
November 24, 2011 – 11:19 am
I get asked a lot why I started Girlfriendology. I think most women find the topic of female friendship such a given or, on the other end of the spectrum, most men have never considered the relationships between women to be of any interest. And sometimes, women and men, just get it. Whatever response, I don’t mind.
I tell them how in 2005, two of my good girlfriends were dealing with cancer. How I struggled for how to be a good friend to them and how it made me consciously crave being around my female friends, both the ones dealing with cancer and the rest of my friends.
I tell them how I then did some research on the relationship of female friendship and found proof that girlfriends make us Read More »

Put Down Your Stress! | Life Lessons Girlfriends Share
November 17, 2011 – 2:12 pm
The Benefits of female friendship, chocolate and laughter … less stress!
My aunt sends me mass emails. Sometimes they’re scams (which often aren’t really scams) or amazing videos of powerful telescopes viewing the heavens. Sometimes they’re funny stories with a message – like these Life Lessons and sometimes they’re just inspiring mass-distributed (and therefore unattributed to the writer – I apologize to whomever you are!) parables like the following.
Like a girlfriend, she’s just sharing what she thinks is something a woman would benefit from reading/seeing/viewing. So this one is from my beautiful aunt. Hope it Read More »

Female Friendship: They Teach it at Stanford
April 13, 2011 – 8:39 pm
Nurture Your Relationships with your Girlfriends
You know those mass emails that your great aunt sends you? The ones that warn you of parking lots and microwaves, that ‘enlighten you’ on how to show your friends how much you appreciate them by sending the letter to all of them and asking that they pass it along to all their friends? The emails that promise you good luck or riches, again, IF you send it on to ALL your friends?!
Well, when I receive a ‘mass email’ from a dear friend who knows me and knows I don’t want a lot of mass emails, I give her the benefit of the doubt and read it. Such is the case with the following message on friendship, shared with me by my beautiful girlfriend Carole.
