Grow Together with Courage, Health and Attitude

Event description
Diane Gage Lofgren and Margaret Bhola, co-authors of "Women I Want to Grow Old With", will provide insights on how to reach out to new friends, enjoy the friends you have, overcome friendship breakdowns, find your fit within a group of friends and show gratitude to your friends for all of the joy they bring to your life.

The "Women I Want to Grow Old With" message will encourage you to be intentional about creating and sustaining female friendships. Friends are so important in our lives and for our health. In fact, when women share each other's company, their bodies release the stress-fighting hormone, Oxytocin. Friends fill unspeakable voids, provide certainty in uncertain times and offer a safeguard of love AKA friendships are a crucial part of life.

Margaret and Diane hope to leave you with a fresh sense of determination to check into female friendships and/or start over and find women that they want to grow old with. Their hope is that you feel nothing less than excited and passionate about putting their ideas to use to ensure a healthy friendship future.
