Spring, Summer & Lake Wobegon – Seasons of Friendship

May 30, 2011 – 10:43 pm

Friendship spring furnitureIt’s been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon. (AKA: Girlfriendology)

Last week I was away at BWENY (BlogWorldExpo – a social media conference in NYC) and while my go-to-gal (& assistant) Judi was a busy girl, I was stuck in conferences and meetings – and the worst thing (at no fault of BWE’s, the Javits isn’t great for connectivity!) … often without wifi or cell phone access! So, not a lot happened in the land of Girlfriendology.com ): (But lots of good things are coming!)

Okay, so we had our daily quotes (which seems to be very ‘like-able’ on Facebook), links to popular Girlfriendology posts and our daily ‘girlfriend video lunch break’ (again, another favorite of our 16,000+ female Facebook friends). So we did manage to stay in touch, like good girlfriends do.

Also, we did get to share some fun girlfriend advice on Read More »

Spring Dreams | Porch Girlfriend Conversations

February 28, 2011 – 4:31 pm

Friendship spring furnitureRestless? Cabin fever? Or just needing some girlfriend porch time?

Yesterday I watched crows work desperately to frighten off a hawk from threatening their nests. Then I waited for a ’round’ robin (no doubt a expectant mom) to make her way across my lawn. This morning, I was awoken by perhaps that same robin or other flying friends of hers, to a choir of chirping that to me sounded like they were saying “Spring is coming!”

It hasn’t been that bad of a Winter here in the Midwest (especially considering I’ve lived in Minnesota and had much more to complain about back then) but still there is a longing to Read More »

Girlfriendology Earth Day Logo

High point. Low point.

Girlfriends with Girlfriendology gerbera daisy flowerLisa, Vicki, Phyllis and I used to play this game at the end of a busy day at an industry tradeshow. It was our way to touching base with each other on the highs and lows of our day. Did our meetings and classes go well, or not? Did we meet the people we wanted to meet and have the conversations that we needed to have? Who better to share those highs and lows with than girlfriends who understand our goals and dreams?

Celebrating Spring, Celebrating Friendship

March 11, 2010 – 6:31 pm

Spring blossomsSpring has ‘Sprung’ – at least in this girlfriend’s world!

It’s still Winter in my previous home state of Minnesota. I talked with my girlfriend Patty this week and they still have a blanket of the ‘white stuff’ which may be around for weeks.

I remember those Minnesota winters. For a girl from the South and Mid-west, the bitter temperatures were unbearable. (Hence the move to Ohio!) The seemingly endless season of snow and bitter cold challenged my sanity. And I remember wondering how any plantlife could survive the freeze that reached inches, if not feet, down deep into the ground.

But every Spring, it never failed, Read More »
