Ever wanted to be ‘her?’ | Girlfriend Advice Needed for Guru Arlett R. Hartie
May 8, 2012 – 4:07 pm
To speak painful truth through loving words – that is friendship.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes a real friend to speak the truth. Sometimes the truth is painful to admit and maybe even to hear. But, as friends, we’re still there for each other. We weigh the truth through eyes of love and admiration, we listen with acceptance and support.
Girlfriend Guru, ARLETT R. HARTIE, author Chasing Joy, reminds us that sometimes, being honest is hard – to even accept yourself and admit to a friend. In this blog post, she asks for help – not to be perfect, but to keep striving to be her best. And that’s something we can all use a little help with, right girlfriend?
I know being a girlfriend guru I’m supposed to be brilliant and all knowing regarding all things girlfriendship related. Well, part of being brilliant and all knowing Read More »

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
“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 »
