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. Each month the top five girlfriend stories win a $10 Starbucks gift card to take you and your girlfriend out for coffee on Girlfriendology. The top winner also receives a Girlfriendology Journal. Which, by the way, is the perfect place to journal or even scrapbook your girlfriend adventures, gratitude and thoughts. On this "special edition" Girlfriendology podcast, we're going to be reviewing the winning entries from the Girlfriendology October contest. Fall is "especially special" nbsp;-nbsp; so we asked you to share some of your best girlfriend autumn memories of the past - that includes Halloween tales - and to share how you celebrate Halloween with your gal pals. 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. Or just tell us why their friendship is a gift to you. Share your stories by e-mailing them to contest (at) girlfriendology (dot) com, or call 206-202-9005 and share your story via voicemail. Remember to include your contact information on the call. November is all about Thanksgiving - a great time of year to show your girlfriend gratitude.

Next time on the Girlfriendology podcast...well, if you've listened in for any length of time you'll know that I firmly believe that life begins and ends with girlfriends. DR. JUDITH VAN GINKEL was way ahead of me on that one, and latched onto that thought as the title for her very popular book - you guessed it - Life Begins and Ends With Girlfriends. Dr. Van Ginkel is presently professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and president of Every Child Succeeds. Covering her list of life's accomplishments could take an entire podacast, so we're going to focus on her book and her perspectives on the power of girlfriends. This is a not-to-be-missed Girlfriendology podcast - so tune in! There's still time to share your appreciation for friends in our November contest.

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.
