“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”I did a little research on this well-known phrase. The Phrase Finder says:
Meaning
It is sometimes suggested that this phrase means ’someone who needs your help becomes friendly in order to obtain it’ … Most people understand it to mean, ‘someone who helps you when you are in need is a true friend‘. Read More
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart. I’ll always be with you.”Recently we did a blog on girlfriend wisdom – from our childhood friend, Winnie the Pooh. How is it a ‘bear’ gets the power that we all possess inside? How did a ’silly bear’ learn these lessons of life that are so profound and inspiring?
Where does it come from and what does that mean to us as women and girlfriends? Read More
As a busy entrepreneur, I admit, I don’t live a balanced life. I work too much and sleep too little, forego exercise for more time in front of a laptop (who manages my time more than I manage it) and, even though I totally believe what I preach (the importance, benefits and blessings of female friendship), Read More
Our great girlfriend Carole from Muffintopless (a fun, honest blog about getting fit) and I are PUMPED (the only way I’ll be pumped!) with excitement about this contest! Finally, here it is! Read More
I am! I can’t go into details or they’ll see it here first but the following Oprah show was very helpful in a few of the girlfriend gifts I’m making for the holidays. Check out these ideas:
Book clubs, personal escapes, great girlfriend gifts … girlfriend books are universally popular. From ‘Chick lit’ to romance, historical to fantasy, women are generally always searching for a new book
Do you have a lot of friends? A few good friends? Very few close friends? Well, loneliness and the quality of your friendships are key indicators for stress. (See, we told you friends lower stress levels!) Check it out in this article on friendship from Oprah.com: Read More
Jody England, cofounder of BuzZen
It’s no ’secret,’ the Law of Attraction caused quite a buzzzzz a few years ago. Where did that energy go? How did/can women use the Law of Attraction to make ‘real’ changes in their lives?
JODY ENGLAND, co-founder of BuzZen, joined us on the latest Girlfriendology podcast to help us put the Law of Attraction in action! Hear how BuzZen provides community, conscious gifts and coaching – all key elements in making the rest of your life radically different than had you not heard the ‘buzz.’
Jody studied the Law of Attraction and, along with her girlfriend Kim Yardlay, decided to make the Law of Attraction a reality for all of us who aspire to living life to our potential. A successful entrepreneur and former therapist, counseling at-risk families, children, and individuals, Jody has transformed her unique blend of experience as a leading voice in both the business world and the nonprofit arena, to empowering women to grant themselves permission to unlock their personal power.
Together Jody and Kim founded BuzZen. BuzZen is a company founded on the principles of contribution and inclusion, designed to appeal to women of all backgrounds, religions and ethnicities and welcome one and all. They believe that through connecting at our deepest level of “sister,” we are all empowered and enriched.
Before we share any more, let’s look at these ‘lessons from a girlfriend’ from our podcast interview with Jody England of BuzZen:
* REAL CHANGE HAPPENS WITH GIRLFRIENDS – As Jody mentioned in the podcast, we can make change on our own but often it doesn’t make a difference since there is no one to hold us accountable, encourage us and help us through the process. Unless, of course, you make the change in your life WITH your girlfriends. BuzZen does this by creating a program for small groups of women to go through the process in the BuzZen box and make the transformation together. (The BuzZen Box was featured in the Academy Award Nominee bags!)
* HAVE FUN! - I’ll just stereotype here … when women get together, we almost always have FUN! Of course the same is true for women in “The Hive” (the BuzZen community). Not metaphysical or magical, they’re really all about the friendships and fun (oh, and bee-ing transformed which is a wonderful change to accomplish with your girlfriends!). As they describe it, it is like the Law of Attraction meets Girls Night Out!
* PUT THE LAW OF ATTRACTION TO ACTION – The popularity of ‘The Secret‘ was made hugely popular on Oprah. It wasn’t just the celebrity endorsement, the Law of Attraction is powerful – that is, if it is actually put into practice. So many of us didn’t quite grasp how to use this way of manifesting our dreams into a real, day-to-day practice. BuzZen is a practical guide to putting the Law of Attraction into action in our lives on a daily basis. Now that’s powerful!
Listen in to our wonderful conversation as we explore how the Law of Attraction is actually put into action to make a wonderful transformation in our lives. And, hear how having other women on the same journey can be part of ‘The Hive’ and inspire and challenge each other to reach greatness!
Thanks Jody!
