Oscars, Wine Time, Girlfriend Time – Life is Good Girlfriends! | Girlfriend Gratitude
February 27, 2012 – 10:45 am
Life happens sometimes, doesn’t it? Great things and terrible times bump right into each other making me so grateful for girlfriends.
Hello from beautiful Napa! I’m here in a fabulous hotel, with wonderful wine and a menu that would lure any foodie to never, ever leave. I’m part of the First Annual Wine Sisterhood Gathering. It’s a wonderful pairing of wine and women that promises to be a fabulous, friend-filled event hosted by the wonderful women in the WINE SISTERHOOD. (I’ll tell you more about it below. I just have to apologize for gloating about it! I’m giddy to be here!) (Those are two of my beautiful friends here – Aliza and Danielle.)
Yes, it’s an amazing event and I can’t wait to meet more of the fabulous females who are here – several of whom are bloggers that I’m sure we’re going to bond over!
Now back to that Read More »

Trust and Grace | Girlfriends on the Road of Life Together
February 21, 2012 – 12:54 pm
How is a morning commute like my girlfriends? What do friends and freeways have in common?
I work from home, generally, so this morning’s commute to an early social media event threw off my schedule a bit. Instead of walking a few feet to my home office, I drove several miles downtown, in the dark (I’m ready for Spring!), and in the rain.
As I sped along, wanting to get there in plenty of time to chat with my social media buddies, I was conscious of the cars nearby and how the slightest swerve or blind spot, could radically change my life and possibly so many others. I thought about how driving is just one example of having to trust others – having faith that they pay attention to their and my safety, that they focus on the cars around them, the road conditions, the weather and that we all stay in our proper lanes.
We put our faith in strangers everyday, in so many ways. Every time we Read More »

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 »

Thankful for my Friends | Keeping the Attitude of Gratitude
November 24, 2011 – 11:19 am
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more.”
Oprah Winfrey
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 »

Attitude of Gratitude | Girlfriends to the rescue!
November 14, 2011 – 11:57 pm
Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Are you feeling grateful, thankful, blessed? Let’s talk about that …
Veteran’s Day … thankful for the brave women and men who have fought for our freedom, for the friends and family who have sacrificed their beloved to keep us safe and for the leaders who watch out over us. It’s a good time to remember that #LifeIsGood – right?
Thanksgiving … thankful for the pilgrims and travelers, the brave and the (sorry to say it, but possibly true) stupid who got on boats and found there way here. Grateful for the tradition they started of being appreciative of the little things in life … a little corn, a small bird to feast on, a warm hut to sleep in. Things we now take for granted – it’s great to be reminded to be grateful.
Maybe it’s Read More »

An Attitude of Gratitude | Tim Sanders & More #SobCon Lessons
May 3, 2011 – 7:01 am
What’s your attitude on Gratitude? Do you show / express/feel girlfriend gratitude?
This past weekend I had one of those experiences that you know will change your life. (I’ll tell you about it below and, yes, it’s about gratitude!)
I attended a conference (SobCon – for Successful Online Businesses) and met some amazing people. One of the speakers was powerful, passionate and purposeful. His message, like I shared in this SobCon recap, was all based on LOVE. One way of showing it is through gratitude – expressed or just felt.
Tim Sanders was raised by his grandmother, Billye, when his mom could no longer care for him. At 54, and caring for her aging mother, she took in a 4-year old and Read More »

Gratitude Actually …
December 1, 2010 – 6:23 pm
How’s your girlfriend gratitude?
Have you seen the movie ‘Love Actually‘? (It actually is one of our Girlfriendology favorite chick flicks!) It’s a romantic comedy based on several relationships – from a grieving husband and his son, to a wife dealing with her husband’s infidelities, to a couple who meet while working in the ‘adult film’ industry (which was a bit gratuitous to me at first, but eventually I came to over look it for the stories) and several other relationships. It’s extremely well-written and thought-out. You don’t realize it until the end, but all the relationships are intertwined in some way.
Hold that thought while weconsider this …
My BFF Cathy won an award today (Top Ten Women in Dayton Ohio). I drove up to attend the awards lunch and was so happy for the recognition she received for her contribution to numerous non-profits and activities in her region. She could have talked about all the time she spends in committees, how she’s allocated millions of dollars for her company’s foundation and her tireless volunteerism. But she didn’t. Not Read More »
