Here’s to your Health | Girlfriends & National Women’s Health Month
May 7, 2012 – 11:42 pm
“Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.”
Michelle Obama

Meet Joanne and her girlfriends. Joanne shared these photos for Wordless Wednesday as well as insight into her girlfriend group:

You crack me up, girlfriend!
You know the friend who always makes you laugh? She can turn tears of sadness or stress into laughing until you cry. Those kind of girlfriends are just fun to be around and so fabulous to have on speed-dial when you need a friend and a laugh.
And, why is laughter so important? As girlfriends, we want our friends to be happy and healthy (which just happen to be some of the benefits of girlfriends) and laughter is …
… Good for your health

We all have a story.
The beginning of a friendship, an idea or adventure. The lessons learned along the way, mistakes or surprises, to the highs and lows of emotion.

Boating along with Ellen, Spending time with a Girlfriend
June 24, 2007 – 3:18 pm
I love spending time with my friends – don’t you?!
My girlfriend Ellen (and her husband, Doug) have a boat and last night we joined them on the Ohio River. Threatening rain, we braved it and went out for an evening together.
As we sat in the back and let the boys drive and talk, we caught up on life. Her cute kids, our work challenges, upcoming travels, fashionable belts and painting our toenails – important stuff! Just things you share when you share life with someone – no matter how often or seldom you get to Read More »
