Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: Serve Anyway
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2011/04/serve-anyway.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. By Dr Kent M. Keith. 1 People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. 2 If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. 3 If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. 4 The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. 5 Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. 6 The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. May 14, 2011 at 7:27 PM.

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: (Seniors in) Social Activism - Informational and Collaborative Session
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2011/04/seniors-in-social-activism.html
Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Seniors in) Social Activism - Informational and Collaborative Session. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. I shuffled in my seat awkwardly. The young woman smirked at me. Is this something you guys would be interested in doing? Well, as far as resources go, we have money." a man said. Then maybe we could sponsor a low-income family! I don't want to donate anything! An angry woman cried out. "I donate to the blind, I give my clothes to the Salvation Army! He went ...

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: A Reflection
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2010/12/reflection.html
Sunday, December 5, 2010. I haven't written on this thing in awhile. I think its time I just plugged down and vomitted some thoughts, regardless of how unorganized they may be inside my head. If you are unaware, I am a founding member of an experimental community house which officially started this September. Currently, there are five women and two men in this house. What are our weaknesses? What is tolerable and what needs to change as soon as possible? December 6, 2010 at 9:42 AM. Hey Gloria - I admire...

Friday, April 30, 2010. There was something written on the stairs, which is why we were sitting that way, with Shane Clairbourne. What was written on the stairs, though, is top secret, and therefore had to be edited out. Yup. We share a secret with Shane Claibourne. Be jealous. He would appreciate me being all elitist about this too, I'm sure. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Baba Yetu is Captivating. I am currently obsessed with this song. It is the Lord's Prayer in Swahili.

Sunday, February 21, 2010. Report: Baby Skull Jewelry May Be Linked To Violence. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Ode to the Cool Kids. Anyway, recently a cool kid died in a car accident. I didn't know him, but he was good looking and stylish, which, is quite enough for me to wish to avoid his presence altogether. I don't know what his attitude was, but with a face like that, how could he be anything but "cool"? I DON'T NEED YOU! And so I have been experimenting with learning to love cool people this semest...

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: March 2010

Sunday, March 28, 2010. John Doe became a fan of Thou Shalt Not Inflict Your Religious Crap Upon Others. This popped up on one of my Facebook friends' walls. Since I am avoiding a paper, I have some thoughts on it. My initial reaction was hurt and self-consciousness. Was I one of the religious psychos he was referring to? Honestly, its possible. Then it occurred to me. What if Shakespeare hadn't incorporated anything about Christianity into his writings? We're all relatively equal in our stupidity about ...

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: November 2009

Sunday, November 22, 2009. Tears of the Saints - Leeland. This weekend my forum visited the Dream Centre, a local outreach centre for homeless and low-income people. They gave us a tour and gave us some information on what homelessness in Waterloo region looked like and their role in relieving it. They also showed us a movie, and this song was playing in the background. Its an incredibly powerful song so I thought I would share it. I found a video on the Dream Centre!

Consuming Justice: Just Clothes Part II - "Made in China"
http://consumingjusticeinwaterloo.blogspot.com/2011/04/just-clothes-part-ii-made-somewhere.html
WHY your consumption choices matter, HOW you can help, WHERE to go in Waterloo. Friday, April 29, 2011. Just Clothes Part II - "Made in China". It seems odd to me that we boycott various artists or movies for endorsing vulgarity or sexual immorality but we support companies who do not care about human equality. What's worse? As a consumer, your voice matters! How YOU can help:. Buy clothes from countries where you know workers have rights! I have found that the easiest way to help redeem this problem is ...
