Today's guest Dr. Judith Van Ginkel defines a "life lived to its fullest." In fact, we could talk with this Girlfriendology podcast guest for an entire series. So today, we're going to talk to Dr. VanGinkel about one, small, but very tasty slice of her life - girlfriends - and in particular, how they provided the inspiration for her popular book, Life Begins and Ends with Girlfriends. [caption id="attachment_1702" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Life begins and ends with Girlfriends, by Judith Van Ginkel and Betsy Kyte Newman"][/caption] First, some background on our Girlfriendology podcast guest. Dr. Van Ginkel has a distinguished career as a champion for womenrsquo;s and childrenrsquo;s health and for supporting program initiatives with sound research. She is presently professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Childrenrsquo;s Hospital Medical Center and president of Every Child Succeeds (ECS), an $8M home visitation program she spearheaded with three founding partners: Cincinnati Childrenrsquo;s Hospital Medical Center, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, and the Hamilton County Community Action Agency/Head Start. ECS is a regional prevention program that is based upon the knowledge that early brain stimulation is critically important for a childrsquo;s long-term development. The program serves first-time, high-risk mothers and their infants from the prenatal period until the child is three years old. During the first nine years of operation, Every Child Succeeds has served more than 13,700 mothers and babies with over 268,000 home visits. A unique feature of ECS is the combination of outstanding service delivery with extensive and robust research. Excellent program operation and outcomes are documented and analyzed through the eECS web-based evaluation system and the ECS business-oriented, continuous quality improvement strategies. ECS receives national recognition on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, in the New York Times and Pediatrics and as a recipient of the National American Hospital Association NOVA award. An innovative strategist and leader, Van Ginkel has been instrumental in establishing public policy on social service issues and health care. Examples include obtaining funding for a biomedical incubator at the University of Cincinnati that is creating products for the commercial market, chairing three successful health services levy campaigns, yielding $410 million, and turning around Drake Center, a failing, old established Cincinnati institution for long-term care. In this podcast for women, Judy talked with Girlfriendology about her book and the wonderful lessons of girlfriends. Thanks for your great girlfriend insight!

It seems like Halloween was just coming up and all of a sudden it's Thanksgiving. Where DOES the time go? Every month we request your girlfriend stories to inspire all of us to spend more time with and to appreciate our girlfriends. You never let us down and constantly amuse and inspire us.

We got some great responses - so lets get started. Here in November, we're focusing on being thankful for our girlfriends. Looking forward to Thanksgiving, we'd love to hear your stories on why you're thankful for your girlfriends - friends from your childhood, school, work, neighbors, women you've met through other friends - the female friends have made a difference in your life.nbsp; And, in December, we'd love to share your stories on special gifts that you've given or received from your best friends.

Dr. Van Ginkel is presently professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and president of Every Child Succeeds.

Today we're going way out west to talk to one of the most prolific authors I've ever met. Over 25 years since first being published, Linda Lael Miller has written over 80 best-selling books from romantic westerns to vampire stories, historic novels to paranormal romances. She's won literally dozens of awards and has a global audience of fans who love her characters and continuing tales. But, as she tells us in this Girlfriendology podcast, her true love is westerns - current day or historic. She grew up as the daughter of a town marshal and is an avid horsewoman. And, her grandmother told her stories of how Jesse James stayed a night in her barn, and how she heard the shots when the Dalton Brothers tied to rob the bank in Coffeyville Kansas. Linda Miller grew up in her stories. Linda's newest book, A Mckettrick Christmas, is a wonderful historic story out just in time for the holidays! And today, we get to come along on her adventure, to find out about this prolific writer who inspires us not only with her stories and talents, but with her scholarship program. As she believes: Educate a woman, and countless generations to come will benefit from the investment Thatrsquo;s Linda Lael Millerrsquo;s philosophy and what inspired her to launch her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women a few years ago. Now, each year, Linda encourages women who want to improve their lot in life through education to apply for scholarships that she personally finances. Lindarsquo;s scholarships are awarded annually to women who are 25 years or older, non-traditional students who have a difficult time finding scholarships for which they qualify. As in previous years, the scholarship funds may be used not only for tuition and books, but also for childcare, transportation and other expenses not covered by traditional scholarships. A talented speaker, Linda donates all the honoraria from her engagements to her scholarship fund. If you are interested in booking a speaking engagement for your organization, contact Linda through Nancy Berland Public Relations, NBPR@nancyberland.com, 800-308-3169. Thanks Linda for your time and great conversation on this Girlfriendology podcast for women. Thanks too for inspiring us all through your scholarship program.

As the most frequent cancer among women in the U.S., with over 2 million breast cancer survivors, so many of us have friends and family dealing with this terrible disease. As a girlfriend, it's tough to know how to be a good friend during this time. To help us understand this situation, I invited TAMI BOEHMER to share her advice. Tami is a breast cancer survivor whose friends and family have shown incredible support for each other while going through a very disruptive time in life. And I asked Tammy to give us the insight into life as a breast cancer survivor so we can all get past the awkwardness or uncomfort and be there for our friends, like we know they'd be there for us. Tami has some great advice for being friends with any women dealing with any cancer or serious condition. Tami, her husband Mike and daughter Chrissy "Keep the Positive Energy Flowing" on their family blog - read it for more about Tami and her great insight and positive energy. Tami is collecting stories about amazing things accomplished by cancer survivors, so please send her your stories. Thanks Tami for the insight you shared!

Kathleen is a brilliant storyteller who reaches women with the intertwining stories of entertaining and touching characters. And, she introduces to her wonderful characters in this Girlfriendology podcast interview. In fact, here's a little overview: When frazzled mother of four Ashley Gates lets her best friend drag her to a meeting of the local scrapbooking club, she's amazed at the way old photos and mementoes can bring vivid color to sepia-toned memories. Among the surprisingly diverse group is Tara, a single grad student whose search for love, like her relationship with her absentee father, has only brought her heartache - and some funny dating stories. Then there's Libby, a semi-retired teacher who thought she'd spend her golden years taking cooking and photography classes - not as the town pariah after her son is charged in a corporate scandal. And as Ashley copes with a husband whose love for her fluctutates with her weight, she comes to depend more and more on her scrapbooking sisters. Only together can they face earth-shattering revelations and emotionally unavailable men - and figure out their futures, while artfully commemorating their pasts. Whether you're a 'cropper' (scrapbooker) or not, you'll find friends among these women and the wonderful way that they share their lives through scrapbooking and sharing. Join us as we talk with Kathleen Reid on this wonderful podcast just for women! Thanks Kathleen for chatting with us!

We'll talk about the intimate details our lives (sometimes TMI!), but we girlfriends rarely talk about finances. How much we get paid, save, owe, invest - all dirty little secrets that cause the most stress in our lives. And, this avoidance creates feelings of intimidation and lack. Add to that the current economic status. Recent research shows that women are taking on the majority of stress regarding financial conditions. In fact, one in three women rank themselves as EXTREME on the stress meter regarding the recent events on Wall Street and the world. Hmmm ... I wonder what girlfriend could help us reduce that stress ... Meet JUDITH STEPHENS, MBA and Money Management Strategist and Executive Consultant. As a financial and business development expert, she explains financial terms and concepts in ways that make them meaningful, tangible, and real to all girlfriends. Through her business, Yes to Financial Fitness, she eliminates jargon and makes learning about money and business a fun, enjoyable and profitable process. She loves working with business owners and professional women who appreciate the importance of investing in themselves and in their future. Judith, aka: The Money Lady, shares with us in this Girlfriendology Podcast about the feelings of lack, intimidation and confusion when it comes to us and money. And she keeps us focused on positive energy and positive financial growth. So, listen in and learn. Then, get together with a group of girlfriends and talk about what you're going through and how you can better understand and implement financial plans. Learn together and take charge of your finances. Just getting with your girlfriends will relieve stress, plus you'll remove those financial worries. Go for it, girlfriends!

Regret and forgiveness may not be trendy, as we float through life as the 'center of the universe,' but shouldn't they be? Aren't they at the core of friendship, respect and kindness? Project Forgiveness is an online venue to post expressions of regret and expressions of forgiveness in the hope that these actions will translate into actual forgiveness between individuals. It's a great movement to recognize our regrets and ask for forgiveness, and has inspired men, women, teens and kids in posting things for which they're sorry. Join us in this Girlfriendology podcast as we talk with Ilya Welfeld, of the National Jewish Outreach Program (NJOP) and Project Forgiveness, as she helps us understand the importance of forgiveness. Ilya, thanks so much for sharing the Project Forgiveness story with us today.nbsp; From simple messages from kids to profound confessions from adults, it's an amazing reminder of the strength of regrets and the amazing power of forgiveness.

Sept. 21 is National Women's Friendship Day and we're busy girls! We're hosting parties, writing articles for About.com and Sparkpeople.com, doing guest blogs (like for Vicky and Jen, Phyllis Dobbs, Lifestyle Fitness and more!); and getting some local and national press on the BIG day. It's easy to get busy and forget about the reason we're so busy. Thankfully, I have girlfriends who remind me why we're celebrating the amazing women we each call our girlfriends, our BFFs, gal pals, sisters and best friends. A few reminders: A definite BFF of mine is going through some tough times. It's a great reminder that I need to take time away from all my work and the busy-ness to talk with her, spend time together, give her my full attention. A great reminder. One of our contest winners wrote in with an additional story about a dear friend. I love that she recognizes this special friendship, trusts Girlfriendology to share it and has the need to inspire others. We're all the better for the inspiration she offers: I am making an effort to invest in my friendships. I have a friendship from when I was 5 years old and moved to the city and met my downstairs neighbor, (another Debbie)!nbsp;Her family has called me Debbie Kay ever since to differentiate us. In Kindergarten we were split apart cause I was a year older, but that didn't stop us.nbsp;When we were kids we enjoyed making huge tents on clotheslines outside. We also started a campfire in her basement in a hub cap! We drifted apart in junior high as I had moved to a different side of school. Then in high school we were back to hanging out, getting caught for skipping class and both pleading the 5th. We went out and met boys together, got drunk together and all that sassy stuff! She met the father of her oldest son when she was with me! Later on he babysat my little boy! I met my husband through her and her first husband. Hubby and I were there for her when she was going through her divorce. She "forced me" to call in sick and go to Country Jam in Oshkosh with her the first month of my new job. It was just like being kids again. No matter how much time passes, we are always friends. Our lives have been connected for over 50 years.nbsp; Debbie is in poor health now. Both of us have grown children, but we still enjoy our hobbies and reconnecting our lives. Life is too precious and so our friendships to just let them wither and die. We have to keep nurturing them to nurture our own souls. This story is just one of so many that come into Girlfriendology. Some make us laugh, a lot make us cry and all of them make us thankful for the friends who bless our lives. Listen into this special podcast with the winners from the August Contest as well as our update on National Women's Friendship Day (Sept. 21). Then send us your stories, share your thoughts, call your girlfriends and thank them for the amazing gift of their friendship. p.s.

Your actions, or lack of, make an imprint forever by the lives around you, influence the laws and historic events and the lessons that you pass along to the children who will someday take over and start the cycle over again. I love women who recognize the responsibility and power they have to make a difference in the world. They inspire me by example and word. They challenge me to grow and contribute to others. They give me a model to follow and standard for which to reach. I met this type of women when I interviewed PAULA CONSTANTINO. A believer in education, Paula started law school in her forties. She practiced for several years in multiple states but, like her bio below states, she felt the need to follow her passion, you guessed it, make a difference in the world. Her non-profit, 1000 Women Can Change the World, is built around mentoring women all over the world with life lessons that can change their lives. She speaks with Girlfriendology on this podcast with passion and commitment to make those changes and inspires all of us along the way. Listen in for ways you can contribute and change the world, or just to be inspired to help our another women that you know locally. Together we can make the world a better place - by friendship and inspiration. Thanks Paula! Paula's bio: As a woman who fully embraces continuous learning, I started law school at age 40, and believe in continuous learning as a way of life. We are all works in progresshellip; evolving day by day. Having been admitted to practice law in four states (NY, NJ, GA and MD), I was a trial attorney in New York and as in-house legal counsel for a technology startup in Maryland.nbsp; Working with ldquo;techiesrdquo; taught me not to be intimidated by technology and the internet. For a short time, I ventured into the world of network marketing where I learned the concepts of motivation and team building.nbsp; Then, I partnered with another woman and brainstorming together, they developed the concept of building an online community or team of women experts to help other women in business.nbsp; When we each went her separate way in May 2006, I started creating the concept and website for Womenrsquo;s Support TEAM ndash; an online one-stop resource for women. As Founder and CEO, my idea was first to build a web-based resource with women helping other women achieve more success with less stress globally through Mentors, Coaches, digital informational products, affiliate solutions, articles, events, links to resources, and more at www.WomensSupportTeam.com, and then to build a non-profit division. Womens Support TEAM is all about women supporting women through not only the exchange of practical information but also with online resources to give back to others, embrace fun, pamper themselves, and tap into their creative side.nbsp; These latter sections of the website are still in the formative stage, but they will be expanding in the future. In January 2008, I launched Find A Coach Online as a division of Womens Support TEAM at www.FindACoachOnline.com and www.WomensSupportTEAM.com/Find-A-Coach.html (for women).nbsp; These websites make it so easy for anyone to find that ldquo;rightrdquo; coach to fit each individualrsquo;s needs to lead them to their own success. Now, I am following my true passion ndash; the 1000 Women Can Change the World Corporation - this not-for-profit corporation (501(c)(3) (application pending) that I am building with the able assistance of my Board of Advisors. The current Advisory Board members are Linda Billiger of Boardroom Bound; Grace Palmer with Merrill Lynch; Nancy Mills, PR and e-marketing specialist, of Spirited Woman; and Bill Lamond, coach and author whose book Born to Lead features the Feminine Principle.

Love challenging your sister to Operation? Remember the first time you beat your dad at Monopoly or playing "Go Fish" until you were sent to bed?! For two sisters, KERRI and PATTI, games were a wonderful part of their childhood. Their love for games continued as they got older, but the number of interesting fun games steadily decreased. Finally, they were left with no games for women that were worthy of inviting the girls over to play. So, what do creative women do when faced with a challenge? They created one! Kerri and Patti developed a game perfect for playing with your girlfriends, your mom and sisters or college roommates. They create "What's a DAME to do?!" a hilarious game of 'dame dilemmas' and fun answers and insights on what each person would do. It is a sure-fire way to see how well you know each other or to find out new funny facts on your friends. Through their company, "Games for Dames," Kerri and Patti have plans to develop lots of fun activities for 'dames' and they're even asking for YOUR help. Send in your dilemma and you may be the 'dame' featured on the next edition of "What's a DAME to do?!" We had the fun opportunity to talk with Kerri (one half of this sister act) about how they came up with this game and their plans for the future.

Your stories of happy times with friends, special celebrations among girlfriends, or even touching times where you were there for each other through not-so-great times are priceless and treasured.
