What have YOU been doing for the past six years? | Six Years of Girlfriendology
January 23, 2012 – 11:40 pm
Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday Girlfriendology! Happy Birthday to us!
Six years ago, on January 20th, 2006, Girlfriendology.com was ‘born.’ It started from a response to two girlfriends, Dana and Allison, dealing with cancer, as well as just a need to be around female friends. A little research confirmed – there’s a reason we NEED girlfriends! Female friendship actually makes women healthier, happier, less stressed, live longer and feel more beautiful.
So, I started blogging about female friendship. I was inspired by the amazing women who shared their stories about their girlfriends, who confirmed that our female friendship keep us afloat when we think we’re drowning. Women shared their lives and how their girlfriends had been there for them when they so needed it. We all know that feeling!
Thanks to the women who have helped us grow our online community of women to over Read More »

6 Years of Girlfriendology, 6 Years of Girlfriend Support | Life is Good
January 20, 2012 – 11:45 am
What’s your girlfriend story? What things have you done because your girlfriend(s) believed in you? What dreams do your friend encourage?
Six years ago I struggled with why I ‘needed’ my girlfriends so much. Two of my dear friends, Dana and Allison, were fighting cancer and I was consciously aware of needing to be with my female friends (both of them and other wonderful women in my life). It was so strong that I created a blog to explore it. I called it ‘Girlfriendology’ and started exploring why women need each other so deeply.
Fortunately I found a profound book, The Tending Instinct by Shelley E. Taylor, which studied our need for female friendship and shared research findings and examples that proved – we actually do NEED girlfriends. In fact, female friendship makes women healthier, happier, less Read More »

Girlfriend Advice: Let’s Ask for What We Want, Let’s Simplify Things
January 18, 2012 – 9:14 am
Let’s make it easier to be happier – deal, girlfriend? or a lesson from my dog.
Sometimes life is simple. My dog shows me this everyday. He barks at the door, that means he wants out. If I come a little too close, he rolls over to show me his belly for a little loving belly scratch. And, when he’s hungry, I’ll find him in the kitchen staring (STARING!) at his food bowl. He’s pretty obvious about what would make him happy. And I, as a loving ‘mom,’ enjoy the clear (and sometimes funny) communication.
But we humans tend to complicate things. We say things we don’t actually mean and hope our friends and family will KNOW what we MEANT. We sometimes do things that don’t really represent how we things or feel – like going for months without speaking to each other and trusting, hoping our friends know that they’re still important in our life. We ‘get busy’ and don’t respond to an email, or we concentrate on work and not on the people who make it so fun to ‘not work.’

12 Days of Friendship | Girlfriend Gratitude
January 4, 2012 – 10:55 am
The holidays are behind us. A new year is ahead of us. And who’s here with us – through it all? GIRLFRIENDS!
Today we’re celebrating our final day in our 12 Days of Friendship – spread over the Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years holidays. We’re unwrapping our final present – the gift of girlfriend gratitude.
My girlfriend Jill and I had this conversation recently while hanging out at the dog park. Why is it that we generally gravitate to what is wrong in our lives? Why do we focus on the things we don’t have rather than the blessings of all the things we do have? Why do we overlook the joy to mainly see the struggle and perhaps injustice in our world?
It’s unfortunate but true – we don’t Read More »
