December 29, 2011 – 11:02 am

Lately I’ve been trying to work-out more often at the gym. It’s funny because sometimes I’ll get there for a 9:15am class and wonder if I even looked in the mirror to see if yesterday’s mascara was today’s raccoon look! I trust that other women at the gym understand and give me Read More »

Day 9 of 12 Days of Friendship – Missing Friends during the Holidays
December 26, 2011 – 6:15 pm
Do the Holidays make you miss a special girlfriend? Are you sad, lonely or just wish you were ‘Christmas-ing’ with an old friend?
Some people come into our lives & quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts & we are never, ever the same.
Flavia Weedn
We’re celebrating 12 Days of Friendship this December as we look at the ‘gift of girlfriendship.’ Today’s gift might not seem like a ‘gift’ but it is. Sometimes, for a wide variety of reasons, girlfriends are no longer in our lives. We’re looking at the not-so-Happy-Holidays – missing our friends.
The holidays can be blue, lonely, sad, even depressing – especially if we’re missing friends like my dear friend Dana shown here. (We lost Dana to breast cancer two years ago December 23rd. Here’s our tribute to her and Elizabeth Edwards – both great women who fought cancer bravely. Also, these ways we can Read More »
