As girlfriends, we often are each other’s best ‘cheerleaders.’ I think this happens because we love our friends unconditionally and we can see all their best traits. Fortunately, through our eyes their beauty, talents and special qualities all shine. And that’s a very good thing!

Today we taped a video with my girlfriend JENNIFER DAVIS. Jennifer is the director of BEADED HOPE, an organization that gives women in South Africa a job creating beaded art, then sells it here in the U.S. and returns profits to support an AIDS hospice in Mamelodi, South Africa. (I’ve had the honor of going to the hospice and it is both impressive and emotionally ovewhelming.) Beaded Hope items make great girlfriend gifts!

We taped at girlfriend Wendy’s art gallery and coffee shop – RED TREE (a very cool place in Oakley/Cincinnati, OH).

I’m glad you have a chance to meet Jennifer through this message and video. She’s making the world better one bead (and girlfriend) at a time. I am proud to be a Jennifer ‘cheerleader’! What girlfriend do you cheer for? Let her know that you’re proud of her and that the world is a better place because of her. She’ll no doubt feel the same way about you!
