Real life/movies

Well-Hola all
Again I am horrible at the keeping up with the blog thing, but so many women have written wondering why I don't post...I'm posting. I'm so much better at answering the website e mails!!!

Speaking of the mails coming into the site, I have to say I have been INUNDATED with comments and questions on the topic of the movie Sex In The City. I don't even know where to begin. I might begin by saying I have so much to say on this topic check web site for release of an article in fabulous women's magazine soon to be announced.

Okay so how many women over the age of 11 have four friends with whom they speak daily, dine weekly and can jaunt off to Mexico on a half days notice??? Sex In The City is a movie, created by entertainment geniuses, promoted by advertising gurus and acted in by fabulous actresses. Last I personally checked my four closest tribal members, my four nearest and dearest...barely really know each other. Yes I have three or four but they are not connected to one another, the only occasional link is me!

After dozens of inquiries into the site I decided to check this out a little further, the way I do. And here's the news flash-----please don't feel lesser than, or loser-ish, or deprived when you look at the reality that you don't have the bosom buddies you saw depicted in the movie. If it makes you feel any better, which it will, VERY few women over the age of 18 have the glory of 4 enmeshed girlfriends --- who continue to stay daily ingrained in every day life for decades at a time. See real life is at best, closer to the Lucy and Ethel depiction. Now there is something most of us can relate to. comedy/tragedy of every day life. Faults, flaws, mistakes, fights, paranoia's...Lucy and Ethel are more my real speed, and more the speed of most American women.

Regardless I find it utterly fantastic that so much attention be given to the idea of female friendship...so any way we can get it, we'll take it. This movie was a blockbuster hit, and how it affects women according to my site is interesting to say the least. Some are inspired to find a group, yen for that bond. Others are quietly inspired to put more efforts into their existing friendships, and then some are depressed and distraught by the overwhelming reality that their female friendships are so very far from this fashion, lavished romanticized idea of female friendship.

I say this, what matters only is the richness you feel in your life from the friends with whom you are blessed. How many, who, when where and what you have on matters little. So pick yourself up give yourself a reality slap and know that your view of your life is the only one that matters.
And give a quiet toast to society for recognizing on any level the import and impact that our friends have on our lives.

I know I'll be hearing something from this post!!!

Cheers-

Well-

Hi all, and my apologies for letting the blogging on this great topic fall to the wayside. When it rains in life it sometimes pours, and I have been very very busy with the rain. The new year will bring far more of a commitment to venting and informing.
I have received tons of stories lately, and interestingly everyone sounds a bit more forgiving than usual-Could it be the holiday season? I should look back at the website submissions and see, if this is in fact the case. So for now I will say this. Friendship and friendship ending is never in or out of season, both are just a part of life.

Merry Merry and Happy new year-

Keep the stories coming-
LP

Okay HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I feel like I have been so out of touch---------- So here I am, just finished proposal for book 2 the follow-up, entitled for the moment, WHAT DO WE DO NOW? Thanks to all of you and your amazing stories, I've been able to piece together a sort of blue-print for us. Answers from real life stories and experiences seemed impossible to pass up, I owe it to all of us and to the honor and regard of friendship to put write, what I learned. Hopefully all of you will be able to gain advice and direction through these important waters in our lives...our friendships. I will soon be posting the publishing date, and what to expect in the future in terms of speaking, signing, etc...

I hope all of you are enjoying the summer, we are HOT here in LA but loving it!!

Cheers,
Liz

Hi all-

Well, I'm not the best at keeping up with the blogging, but that's life, with three kids-
Am way excited about the second book, which is coming along beautifully. My panic about having lost so many stories from all of you, was clearly for naught-Within weeks I had hundreds more, and am so enjoying reading and responding and using your experiences to further my oh so laywoman research. All is really well, and as usual I feel the need to thank so many of you who take the time to share your hearts with me, we learn so well from each other.

Peace and cheers-

Hi All-

I've been meaning to find the time to write and say thank you for all the Christmas and holiday greetings. What a beautiful time of year, the spirit is so contagious and wonderful. I am wishing everyone peace love and strength. I've been busy feverishly working on book 2 the follow up to WHAT DID I DO WRONG? Am enjoying this wonderful time in my life, and am so grateful for all the response and support from you.

Remember we are who we are today due to the great people with whom we surround ourselves-


Peace,
Liz

Well hi everyone- I'm hoping a lot of you actually read this blog as I've had something happen that I want to share----Long very ugly story made short is this-I hired a web person to move my hosting service to another company as I am readying to build chats and discussions on the site-Heres the long part made short- the company" accidentally" ERASED all my e-mails, all the stories I'd collected since the release of my book in April- dont want to go into what that means for me and my research- Yes they say they are going to try and recover, but there is a 2 percent chance it will work- SOOOO yes feel badly for me, that I dont have those priceless stories, but more, if you've sent a story and want to re-send it please do, or if you've never written me, give it a try Id love to hear from you.
On another note all else is fine, and the book is still drawing media attention, or should I say the topic is drawing the attention, and thats what I love-getting the owrd out there, and thanks to you guys thats happening.

Keep checking in for the airdates of the Greg Behrendt show, should be very soon- And THANK all of you for reading and visiting-
Cheers,
Liz

Well, my apologies for having been so remiss in keeping up with my blog- After many requests, I am here to write an update- All is well as the summer comes to a close. I had the great fortune of being asked to partake in a new talk show premiering this fall, hosted by the author who wrote "He's Just Not That Into you" This man Greg Behrendt is a total gem, and is fantastic at his new job. My experience was fantastic, and I got to talk to women about these experiences that I have learned so much about over these past several years. I hope you look for his show in the fall, I will be posting my shows airdate as soon as they tell me. Am still so appreciative for the constant stream of stories and questions that come into the site, so thank you all. Let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to hear about on the blog---Wish you all great things as always-
Cheers, Liz
