I present to you without comment:

GirlfriendCircles.com, founded by Shasta Nelson, Friendship Expert, is a one-of-a-kind online service that fosters offline platonic friendships by matching members to other compatible women in their area looking to expand their circle of friends.

Shasta will be hosting a Speed-Friending Event next Tuesday, January 12th from 7-9 p.m. at Olive & Twist Martini Bar in Portland, OR and she would love for you to drop by to see why local women nationwide are so excited about this new online service.

Today’s women are bolder, busier, and more independent than ever— staying single longer, traveling solo, and independently driving the success of their careers. For women with busy personal and professional lives, going through a break-up, moving to a new town or having a baby, making and keeping a circle of great friends can mean the difference between fulfillment and loneliness. Recognizing the
important of those connections to women of all ages, Nelson combined her expertise as a life coach and trained community facilitator with her own personal experience to create GirlFriendCircles.com.
