Be a Better Friend – Freedom and Friendship

July 2, 2010 – 9:18 am

I love my independence. I love that I can read, shop, eat and dress as I please. I love that I can travel, own property, have a business and make my own decisions. I can vote, worship and express my opinion. I love the freedom and protection bought by the dedication of decades of women and men.

And fortunately, that independence allows me the opportunity to be dependent. I’m blessed to have a dependable husband, new roof (yeah!), dog (the cat isn’t always dependable!) and 4-year old car.

The Friendship Circle | Female Friendship Blogs & BFFs

April 8, 2010 – 4:43 pm

It’s wonderful when women work together to promote and support each other. We’re honored to be in the company of great girlfriends and great girlfriend blogs.

As girlfriends, we recommend cool things to our friends – shopping sales, great books, tasty recipes, chick flicks and more. So, a few of us ‘girlfriend bloggers’ got together to introduce you to our friends – other women and their blogs who inspire women to be better friends.

In 2010 we formed the ‘Friendship Circle’ with four other female friendship blogs. We basically just support and promote each other – and that’s a very good thing! In 2011, we’ve revised the group to add in some new amazing women and their blogs/communities so, check out these girlfriend-ly blogs in this ‘Friendship Circle‘:
