Michelle
I’m so glad that this resonated with you. And I totally agree we should use our voice to spread the word on how life is for others less privileged than us.
Looking forward to hearing about your trips. I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time.
Wendy

Hey Bex
Glad that this resonated with you.
If I think it is about the choices we make whether they are big or small ones. Really praying that your new job is amazing.

Hey Carolyn.
Thanks so much for your comment.
I just think we all need reminding every so often that there are people worse off than us…
I love your tweets BTW.

Tom. Thanks so much for your comment.
It’s so great to hear that you are so thought through on this. And you’re totally right none of us can have it all.
It’s great that you’ve recognised that there is a lack of women in worship both in bands and leading. I’m totally committed to seeing what I can do to change this. I’d love to continue chatting about this. Wendy

Preach it sister!
I think we slip into the ‘poor me’ thing because we feel so pressured by spinning plates, rather than being a deliberate thing.
I think work life balance is a difficult thing to maintain. After all we all want to do the best we can which sometimes means we’re forever working… whether that’s work, laundry etc. Trouble is it can be that everything becomes work to us…
Anyway, when we getting together to chat about this stuff? W xx

In reply to Vicky. Hey Vicky Thanks so much for your comment. Interesting to hear that you've seen the lack of equality first hand. Like you, I think it is crucial that we raise the issues of equality for ourselves and others with equal volume. Look forward to seeing how our passion for this develops. Wendy

Wow – awesome and challenging post. A big fat amen to all that you say here… I think the ‘having it all’ is most often an illusory dream, based on unrealistic expectations. I think your approach to accept compromise and prioritise what’s important is much more realistic.

And these days I find myself a nouveau feminist, realising that it is an increasingly important issue, particualrly when you consider the global impact, as you say. I’m really challenged by your stance on shopping boycotts; will think that over.

Looking forward to more of your posts! Xx
