- [THE ART OF SAYING OF YES](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2015/05/the-art-of-saying-of-yes/) - In life, there are times when someone says something and it resonates so deeply that it changes your perspective on everything. I had that experience when I was 11 years old and it changed everything. I was a naturally curious child. Some people – normally my mother – would have said I was ‘into everything’.
- [SIGNS OF OUR LIVES](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2015/02/signs-of-our-lives-2/) - I walked past a coffee shop the other day and the sign in the window said 'Happiness, Love, Hope.' It made me want a coffee. Later that day I went past a church and the sign outside said 'The wages of sin is death.' Unsurprisingly, I guess, I walked straight past. These two signs got
- [IS 'HAVING IT ALL’ A LONG LOST DREAM?  ](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2012/07/is-having-it-all-a-long-lost-dream/) - There has been a lot of discussion in the Blogsphere recently about ‘having it all’ following an article in Atlantic magazine from Anne-Marie Slaughter about her job as the first woman director of policy planning at the State Department. I’ve followed these discussions with great interest as I’ve secretly questioned the basic premise behind ‘having
- [A TRIBUTE: COURAGEOUS TO THE CORE](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2014/05/courageous-to-the-core/) - This week we lost an inspiration. In the death of Maya Angelou we lost so much. We lost a woman who used her voice for speak for those without a voice. We lost a woman who was incredibly wise and yet spoke with simple clarity. We lost a woman who experienced pain and knew how
- ["DON’T YOU DARE BE A HYPOCRITE…"](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2012/05/dont-you-dare-be-a-hypocrite-2/) - I was speaking to the leader of a church network recently and during our conversation he said: ‘I like you. You say you’re outward focused and you really are. Some people say they are outward focused but in reality they’re not!’ I’ve been musing on our conversation quite a bit since then. It’s obviously great
- [I DON'T KNOW WHO MY REAL FRIENDS ARE](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2014/05/i-dont-know-who-my-real-friends-areknow-whomy-real-friends-are/) - The words hung in the air. They hung there refusing to go away. My friend, Lauren, had been through a tough time and had felt that some of her friends who should have been there for her hadn’t. It was difficult to know what to say to make life better. What do you say to
- [CHOICE IS A LUXURY (HAITI #3) ](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2011/12/choice-is-a-luxury/) - I’ve discovered that people who live in comfort sometimes say the dumbest things because their comfort robs them of their ability to care. I absolutely hate the phrase ‘compassion fatigue’ and I always have. And today I hate it with more passion than I ever have. It seems to me that ‘compassion fatigue’ is a
- [THE ROAD BETWEEN US (HAITI #2)](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2011/11/the-road-between-us/) - At times the gulf between rich and poor seems as big as an ocean… and then at other times it’s just the width of a road. I took the photo above this post and the 18 feet between me and those tents felt like an ocean... Welcome to Haiti read the sign at the airport.
- [IS THERE A CEILING TO HOPE? (HAITI #1)](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2011/11/no-ceiling-to-hope-in-haiti/) - A phrase I’ve heard a lot the past few months is ‘the church is God’s hope for the world’ – the next few days are going to prove if that is actually true. I’m sitting on the plane and musing about what the next few days might bring. I’m en-route to Haiti to find a
- [BE GOOD, BE KIND, TRY YOUR BEST](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2014/03/be-good-be-kind-try-your-best/) - I love being a woman, I always have. Ever since I was a small child, I’ve loved the fact that I’m female. I was fortunate to be born into a family that celebrated women and believed that women could do anything. This was just as well because early in my childhood my mum discovered that
- [THE QUESTION EVERY WOMAN LEADER ASKS](https://www.wendybeechward.com/2014/06/the-question-every-women-leader-asks/) - I had coffee with a friend the other day and we were talking about his job. He was about to go on a leadership retreat and his team had contributed 360° input to this. I asked him what he thought they'd say about him. His response was that they'd say that 'I am a visionary
