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 »

All you need is LOVE | We Love Friendship, Mother’s Day & Inspiring Women
May 2, 2011 – 10:23 pm
Love, love, love. Love makes the world go around. Love rules. Love is …
… we all have our own definitions for ‘love.’ From relationships to pets, TV shows to favorite foods, we all LOVE a lot of things. We love our non-fat no whip lattes, pedicures, a long bath, a good book, a hug from a great friend … love does rule.
This week we’re looking at love and it’s role in our busy lives. From the love of others (like I experienced at a recent SobCon conference), to the love witnessed in the royal wedding, to the love of a new pet (welcome kitty ‘Kit Kat’!), love makes our days memorable and feeds our souls. But without a doubt – the most wonderful thing to love are the people in our lives who bring out the best in us, who encourage us and who love us in return even with our faults and failures.
So, just for the heck of it, STOP and feel gratitude for Read More »

A letter of Thanks (& wild ’stuff’ coming!)
November 24, 2010 – 3:07 pm
Dear Girlfriend,
To know me is to know I’m a whimp! I tear up over OnStar commercials, how my dog looks at me (probably more hunger than love, but I like to believe!) and when I see a grandmother and grandchild holding hands. I love to watch strangers interact in a kind way on trains or even in traffic. And, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with the blessings in my life like friends, family and faith that the coming year will see me even closer to my dream of inspiring women and female friendship.
You guessed it, what makes me the whimp-iest are my friends! I am humbled by their inspiration, support and love. I am forever in-debt for their generousity, hospitality and acceptance. I feel deep, DEEP girlfriend gratitude – and hope you do too.
That’s what Girlfriendology is all about – inspiration, appreciation and celebration of female friendship.
But we would never be able to do those things without the support, encouragement and involvement of Read More »

It’s Thanksgiving – Show some Girlfriend Gratitude
November 25, 2009 – 7:31 am
Call me ‘old fashioned,’ but I remind people to say ‘Please.’ (And welcome the reminder myself if needed.) I prefer ‘You’re welcome‘ to ‘no problem’ when I say ‘Thank you.’ (Don’t even get me started on that one!) And, when I sneeze, I love when even strangers respond with ‘Bless you,’ not ‘Gesundheit.’ These are just common courtesies that show respect and politeness.
At Thanksgiving we have an opportunity to show this respect and appreciation through saying ‘Thank You’ in all kinds of ways to all the people who bless our lives. Read More »

Daily Inspiration: Gratitude and Vices
November 10, 2009 – 6:55 am
