... numb legs, I decided to go to the only place on my photography list I knew would be indoors and therefore warm.

The decision to use natural weight loss program or any of the many diet pills or fad in the market was the hardest decision to make, for me personally it was like to lose weight in the first place. And I did refusal have the motivation or because I need to fit into my wedding dress. And as it happened, that it was also considering a career change beginning.
When I began my search online weight loss diet program seemed that everywhere you look, there are immature diets appearing on the market virtually every day. They all quid pro quo you to lose pounds in a few days and have the perfect nave in no time. The salesletters perform routine presage and after pictures of people who look fantastic and reviews have all the raving comments. It's enough to sway just about anyone who is despairing to achieve the body they want, at least it did for me.
Diet products the choice seems endless, to name but a few have ounce loss appetite suppressants burn fat, fad diets either also known as the celebrity diet. All too often, at least for me anyways, I ended up making the wrong choice. Nothing really worked for me, so I lost a little weight, but not like I really wanted. Therefore how does anyone know what the law is a natural weight loss program for them?
My journey to find out what worked for me made me more interested in something more diet-related. Eventually my obsession forced me to change careers, and I decided to Train to turn into a nutritionist. This is where I discovered that there is a lot more to lose weight or keep the weight off this issue. Whether you are happy with your weight or just want to drop 5 to 10 pounds weight control is all about making lifestyle changes. This is especially true if you want to keep the weight off your life expectancy.
I'm sure many of you who are lecture this article have tried many diets and programs to lose inches but any luck? All the promises that you decree lose 20 pounds or more rigid fat from the abdomen, love handles, legs, etc. Completeness of this safely and in as little as 30 days!
Above I mentioned the word "safe," and for worthy reason. If you want to misplace weight and burn fat fast you have to do, of course, otherwise you will experience unnatural including dangerous results. Weight loss fad diet or celebrity type diets are prominence examples of vulnerable ways to fail weight fast. These types of diets recommend that you greatly depreciation your newspaper calorie intake and will also tell you to avoid eating essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fats. In this way, you also avoid the healthy monounsaturated fat.
Yes, your body actually must those nutrients in order to lose weight effectively and naturally …. and keep it off. When you reduce the intake of calories or limiting nutrient metabolism will slow down as a result. Behind metabolism will cause your body to store calories as fat! Ever wondered why you mound on the pounds once you stop the diet also why they call them the "yo-yo dieting?
If you still do not know the best way to get back into shape, then the best thing to do first is to find the time to provoke exercising. The term is often worn is the "muscle mass weight," which basically means that the more muscle your body burns more fat. Make sure, therefore, to add some defense formative of the program, such as weight lifting. Do not worry, you do not have to become Miss or Mr Body Building, but simply tone up and gain muscle.Comments Off on Natural Weight Loss Program and Diet Pills?

Executive Interview : 9 Helpful Tips on How To Set Service Levels For a Contact Center
Setting a standard service level for a contact center is easier said than done. It depends on the contact center's role within the industry. Do industry standards even exist anymore, are those service levels in accordance with what the best in the world are achieving? ContactCenterWorld.com went after some advice from its members from around the world to help shed some light on the subject.
"Put the Standard Operating Procedure of the program management to the team."
|- Sudheer B N, Chief Executive, WayBridge Outsourcing Services, India
"We have the technology, do not answer a call if you can't tell your customer how long it will take to present an agent. People will all wait different amounts of time depending on how important the call is to them. Each service provider has a different set of pressures. If you can't achieve the expectation level, tell the customer and offer alternatives, always let the customer know how long you expect to be. The old idea of service level is dead! 80% in 20 seconds what a stupid idea!"
|- Ronald Hughes, Innovation Director, Skills Assessment Academy, Ireland
"It depends on industry to industry. We used to have 80/20 for our travel booking campaign, 85/15 for one of utility campaign and 90/10 for Pizzahut Pakistan."
|- Wasif Balouch, General Manager Contact Center, PizzaHut, Pakistan
"Fact goal and dream curves."
|- Juhani Kaariainen, sp, sc, Sweden
"Good service sells so much. There can be some complaints, but it is okay. If there are no sick leaves the whole month, you can be happy."
|- Elina Perälä, Freelance journalist, Sales professional, Finnish subscription paper, Finland
"Recruit intelligent agents, tell them the truth and get out of their way as they deliver."
|- Darrell Watts, Owner, Miles Technology Group Inc, United States
"First you need to find out what customers expect. Every single business is different. Then try to meet the expectations at 85% and higher. There is nothing like a universal answer for that. Do your best, ask customers on regular basis (survey) and try to improve what you can at given financial and staff conditions."
|- Aleš Neveselý, Head of Customer Support Services, Y Soft Corporation, a.s., Czech Republic
"This is not my area of expertise, but forecasting seems to be an appropriate way to gauge service levels."
|- Vera Austin, Director, Mass Mutual, United States
"Service level targets depend on the organizational guideline or KPI. When setting departmental targets, consider that and try and set above it. It is important to consider volume and check how much capacity you need in order to achieve a desired service level. Critical factors such as shrinkage, peak periods, etc. will also play a role."
|- Thabisa Magxwalisa, Team Leader, Volkswagen Group South Africa, South Africa

There Might Be Fire
"Angel, help us!" Maddy peered through the frail glass of the smallest mirror in the room. It hung from the ceiling and rotated slowly with the supernatural breeze in the air. Her mirror, however, was dangling above a lit bunsen burner, and the string was getting weaker and weaker.
"Angel, now! Over here!" she ran to them, and snatched the mirror just as the string snapped. One of the last cool moments of her young life. "Thank you, Angel."
"What is this? Who did all this?" Angel demanded, seemingly unconcerned about her best friend, trapped in a mirror with slimy snakes slithering around. Sibilance aside, there were far creepier things happening.
"Angel, it's the Sixth Formers. They've gone mad with power. Mrs Liz told them to do whatever they want today for their muck-up day, and so they placed all the mirrors in school in here! It-" Maddy's image disappeared, leaving Angel alone in the dark laboratory. Then, there was an unearthly scream.

58 years ago today, the armistice was signed ending the Korean War. Korea was divided at the 38th Parallel at the end of World War II. That left Korea with two governments. In June of 1950, the North invaded the South. A United Nations force, led by the United States, entered the war in defense of the South, and after three years of fighting the border was again established at the 38th Parallel.
To local residents who served in the Korean War, like Jim Olson, this is a day of remembrance for the 33,686 Americans who lost their lives in Korea. There were also 2,830 non-combat American casualties, and 8,176 Americans missing in action.

Washed UpMature
Washed Up
It was cold, freezing maybe, Elia couldn't tell. She felt like she'd never feel anything again. Not the sea breeze on her glowing skin, nor the agony and pain of the Captain's lashes. She was aboard some charred flotsam, a remnant of the vessel "Our Fair Lady" after the Nadir quickly set the vessel aflame beginning with the mast and the sails. She could see the ship's flag, or what was left of it floating back and forth on the azure, unforgiving ocean. The skull symbol visible even under the moon's reflected pale light. She was sure there were no other survivors; she was cursed with the Ancient's own luck to be living but what life could now be had? Was she doomed to die alone atop a piece of burnt hull?
The water must have had its fill she thought. She was trying to understand why such a savage and unprovoked attack took place. She knew that the slaver was an illegal vessel, but on it she had seen wondrous sites that she could only have dreamed of. It was her home. Now it was gone in a matter of seconds.
She was weary to the bone, her body screamed with the ache of tiredness; she knew that if she slept she may never wake up. Her eyes, as deep and blue as the ocean she now floated on aimlessly, slowly closed.
As a watcher of the sea of Norseland Chiat didn't get much amusement. The Lord of the land had a very cruel sense of humour when he decided to 'promote' him to 'Chief Sea Watcher.' His post was a very arduous and boring one. And his fear of the sea, a novelty and joke frowned upon and rare among his people, didn't help. He was one of the Lord's Guard. His post was exactly what he had wanted in a profession; he was always warm and food and mead was always available. He knew he'd fucked up atrociously when he fell asleep outside his Lord's chamber in a drunken stupor, and when he found out the next morning that a rival Lord of the land, wishing to take his Lord's realm for his own had dispatched some fool to kill the Lord in his sleep he had expected to be strung up naked and left for dead, food for the direwolfs out in the barren wilds. Instead his Lord had survived, thanks largely to his weak bladder in the night, to sound the alarm and watch the attacker flee out the nearest window, not realising the room was near sixty feet up in the air. It didn't do the assassin's looks any favours.
Chiat was sure that his drink had been laced with some sort of wicked sleeping draught but his pleas had fallen upon deaf ears. The Lord knew of his fear and decided to humiliate him by posting him in the worst possible place a thalassophobic could be; next to the deathly ocean.
Then he saw her, a young woman, he didn't know how old washed up on the beach, her face submerged in the sea. He ran as fast as his gluttonous bulk would take him to her, she must have been about fifty yards away. How could he not have noticed her before? The short distance felt like miles, standing outside a door all night after gorging on more than his fair share of food and drink all day did that to a man. He reached her and turned her over probably rougher then he would have wanted. She was beautiful, sundrenched blond hair rolling down past her shoulders to the small of her back. An exquisite figure with large rolling breasts further accentuated her face and he imagined her legs wrapped around his. "Not a good time to be gettin' excited," he said aloud. He picked her up in his arms and, after a time and a struggle, got her safely into his new shack of a home. He laid her gently onto his lumpy single bed and dumped furs on her. He had a thought. "Looks like those soaked rags are goin' to have to come off my dear if I'm goin' to get any heat back into ya." He grinned mischievously and hungrily. He removed the furs. He peeled off her rag of a top first, slowly watching her breasts tumble out pale as the snow in the wilds. He was licking his lips now not taking his eyes off her, and then he slowly pulled down her ripped breeches savouring every millimetre of glistening skin that he revealed. He felt himself becoming hard as he drank in her body, her alluring breasts, her enticing fanny. He sniffed the air with an air of a man who wanted much but could have only little. He knew that this woman could be dead within the hour and he didn't want to add to the cause of it. He decided to wait. He raised a flagon of mead to her lips and watched her drink. Good, he thought.
Elia woke up naked, freezing and alone. She was afraid. She found herself in the dingiest little shack she'd ever seen, she found it hard to imagine one person living here let alone two. She sat up and clutched the furs about herself. She could here noises outside, a roar, suddenly in a panic she stood up and tried to run from the shack fearful the Nadir had come to finish her off and reward her with the same fate as that of her shipmates. She bolted towards the door, which was only a few steps away but she was blocked by an enormously fat shaggy bearded man.
"Hold on there Missy, were do you think your off to?" said the man, his chins wobbling with ever spit filled syllable that escaped from his mouth.
"I have to go!" Elia screamed at him.
"No way your goin' anywhere!" he grabbed her roughly by the arms and flung her back onto the bed, clearly relishing his little wrestle with this beautiful young naked girl.
Elia screamed in pain as he climbed on top of her and entered her from behind, she was sobbing as he continued, back and forth harder and harder, drooling on her back and neck, pinching and slapping and punching her. She was trying to get him off but he was too strong. She was being raped by a fat fucking bastard she thought. She felt weak and slowly succumbed to the throbbing pain in her body. She felt like she was still on the boat with the Nadir; helpless and afraid. He was groaning now with each stroke, louder and louder until he finally came. He rolled off her in a fat heap and proceeded to pull his breeches back up, a big evil grin on his face. "It was worth the wait," he said. With that he walked out of the shack laughing, no doubt thinking about when he could begin again. He slammed the door. She lay there on the bed crying, in pain, her body on fire just like the rest of her companions had been as they died. She could hear the roar again. It was the ocean swell breaking on whatever fucking beach she'd washed up on. She spiralled into unconsciousness fearful of the fat man's next visit to his bed.

The Guardian 9500ix is the Escorts First windshield mounted sensor purchasable today. With original discipline, this is one of the most technologically modern radiolocation detectors usable.'
Initial and the best radar detector, the 9500ix has high radiolocation sleuthing potentiality. In sovereign tests, it has been one of the top performers in all radiolocation bands and laser uncovering. From mortal high radiolocation sources to around the structure murder attacks; this rectifier is superb at holding the driver stormproof.
As with all Associate detectors, the susceptibility of this object is full adjustable. The ternion main sensitivity modes are "Port", Road", and "Auto". The "Automobile" average is optimal suited for all situations of driving because of its incomparable ability to strain out inharmonious alarms which may arise from sources remaining than guard officers. With some new detectors, they testament sleepless to handgun doors and destined remaining radiolocation detectors. This design has the extraordinary knowledge to reject these pretended alarms.
The leading feature of this organisation is its GPS capabilities. This industry strip article allows the radiolocation rectifier to accession a constantly updated database of movement camera and red lighted camera locations. As the utility approaches a hurry camera or red achromatic camera, the radiolocation sensor instrument warn to the upcoming location allowing the wood plentiful dimension to pokey downed, or be knowing of the red hurry of the vehicle to be displayed as an fly is constituted. Kinda than seeing the sensor perched to a danger, superficial at the car's speedometer, then fastness mastered, with the qualify pass the utility just sees the quicken on the rectifier, and slows plumage accordingly. When milliseconds of reaction dimension are determinant in several situations, this article puts the used onwards of any another sensor soul.
Other eager feature of the GPS run is the inconstant hurrying radar sense. The best radar detector 2017 automatically detects the speed of the container existence unvoluntary. According to this zip, the sensor leave change radar sensation. It is essentially a author opportune way of shift modes, without actually having to cogitate some it.
For warning, the utility is travelling at road speeds. The radiolocation rectifier testament automatically observe the move, and increment the radar sensibility. Then as the driver approaches a town along the route, the radar rectifier senses this reduction in locomote, and increases the knowledge to filtrate out imitative alarms.
The end, and arguably the unexceeded property of the GPS is the noesis to con specious alarms. This is proverbial as the "AutoLearn" have. If a radiolocation seed is encountered at the rigorous same locating quaternary present, from for warning a market stock, the GPS attribute leave impression and retain the claim activity of the radiolocation unrealistic conscious, and the succeeding period the utility passes the seed; the lively .

The Shrimps started well with Simon Hackney and Phil Jevons both forcing Steve Phillips into good saves in the opening 10 minutes before Crewe hit back.
Joel Grant's shot was well saved by Barry Roche low to his right before the visitors took the lead on 17 minutes. Shaun Miller had a shot beaten down and Grant followed up to drill a right foot shot past Roche from the edge of the area.
Crewe added to their lead 12 minutes later after a defensive error from Will Haining allowed Miller the easiest of tap ins.
Morecambe hit back with Hackney again testing Phillips and Laurence Wilson firing wide of the right hand post to give the Shrimps hope.

I had never used Sears detergent before but our local Sears store was closing and they had huge sales on lots of items.
I bought 5 boxes of detergent for almost nothing-thinking at that low price I could use as much as needed to get the clothes clean and still save money. Boy was I surprised!
After the first load came out clean and great smelling I realized what a GREAT bargain I had gotten. Love this stuff!

Years ago this was the detergent we used. Then the Sears near me closed down so I had to order it online, but even online it was a very good price for a decent working detergent. Plus, it didn't bother our skin.
However, when my order for this detergent arrived, all of it stank like cheap plastic dollar store toys. I'm sure some of you know the odor in which I speak of. And I mean it really stank to the point it was giving me a headache. But, I decided to use it in hopes the smell would not reappear on our laundry.
That was a horrible, terrible mistake. I ended up having to go to the store to buy another brand of detergent and it took three washes to get the cheap plastic stink out of our clothes.
Ever since then, I have been afraid to reorder this detergent. From some research I did I'm not the only one who has ended up with foul smelling Sears detergent, so if you do decide to try this, be cautious. You may end up with a horrible stench.

Seeing as God Sees
by Laura Slattery, Executive Director, May 2016
The Gubbio Project had the opportunity to reflect on the Scriptures at St. Boniface one Sunday in March. Two of the readings for the day dealt with seeing. In the first, the prophet Samuel explains that "God sees not as people see," looking not at the exterior of a person, but at their heart. In the gospel story, Jesus heals a blind man.
As part of my reflection I shared that I often feel 'blind' when I see only the exterior of people and judge them to be 'homeless' or 'addicts' immediately. I lament when it is my second or third thought, and not my first, that the person I am seeing on the street is my brother or my sister and wonder how long it will take me to be the kind of person that I seek to be - one that sees or notices first the heart, or the suffering, or the beauty, of a person, and not their material, living, or mental health condition.
In researching for the reflection, I came across a fascinating description of what it is actually like for people who were born blind to have an operation and be able to see. According to one surgeon learning to see for the first time is a surprisingly painful process that can take years. From Emilie Griffin's book, Souls in Full Flight:
The patient on opening his [sic] eyes gets little or no enjoyment; indeed, he finds the experience painful. He reports only a spinning mass of light and colors. He proves to be quite unable to pick up objects by sight, to recognize what they are, or to name them. He has no conception of space with objects in it, although he knows all about objects and their names by touch.... His brain has not been trained in the rules of seeing. We are not conscious that there are any such rules; we think we see, as we say naturally. But we have in fact learned a whole set of rules during childhood. (p. 143-144)
More research for the reflection revealed a series of studies done by social neuroscientists Lasana Harris and Susan Fiske in 2006 and 2007. They first studied what happened in the brain when people viewed photos of those they considered outcasts (i.e. lowest on a scale in their minds in terms of warmth and competence, those to whom they could not relate). The part of the brain that recognizes someone as a fellow human being did not light up; their brain registered them the same way it would if they were looking at an object! In equally important follow-up studies they discovered that when people thought about preferences, wants, or idiosyncrasies that the people in the photographs whom they considered outcasts might have, the area of the brain being studied did in fact light up.
The take away from this research is that it seems that science is giving me, and us, a way to understand what the Scriptures instruct. It is possible, and necessary - albeit a long process - to train our brains to see anew and heal ourselves from our blindness. When it comes to those to whom we consider outcast - whoever they may be - when we think about their needs or preferences, we literally humanize them in our brains. And this is good news for those of us interested in "seeing as God sees."
Gubbio Positioned to Start Second Site
by Laura Slattery, Executive Director, November 2015
For those of you who have been supporters of the Gubbio Project for the last several years, you know that a theme of ours during that time has been encouraging other places of worship to open their doors to those living on the streets the way that St. Boniface Catholic Church has done for the last 11 years. We have touted the benefits of opening one's sanctuary to the homeless guests, the volunteers, and the parish. We have quoted Scripture and the pope; given rational, theological, and practical arguments about sacred space; preached in a number of churches; and talked on the phone with scores of religious leaders.
Well, it looks like the work, and the Spirit, have made it happen. Starting in December, gratefully before the worst of the El Nino effects begin, we hope to partner with St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in the Mission for 4 hours each weekday. It will be a pilot project for the next 7 months. We hope to provide the same essential services that we have been providing at St. Boniface – weekly breakfasts, massage, haircuts, HIV testing, and foot care – at this second location.
As we have done for the past 11 years, we will continue to provide "sacred sleep" to the hundred plus people who seek an oasis from the streets of the Tenderloin at St. Boniface. We will continue to provide a ministry of presence, essential items such as toiletries, socks, and blankets, access to bathrooms, and referrals to where guests can get much needed services. At the request of the parish, however, we will no longer provide the breakfasts, haircuts, and other services that we used to provide.
Thank you for all the support that you have given over the years as we continue to walk with, and be in community with, our brothers and sisters who live on the streets, worship in the pews, and live in the area.
by Laura Slattery, Executive Director, October 2015
When we as a society finally understand that the people who have been living on the streets are our brothers and sisters; that they are vulnerable, treated inhumanely day and night, are ignored, and are criminalized unfairly ...
When we realize that they are worthy of more than mini-homes, overcrowded shelters, or no shelter at all; that they deserve more than our scorn, our impatience, our fear ....
When we see that those who struggle with mental illness or chemical dependency are parents, children, siblings; are afraid just like we are, have dreams just like we do, need love and care, and to be seen ....
When we get that race and gender are constructs and diversity is to be celebrated, enjoyed; that not everyone has the same experience in their body; that we as a society have criminalized and moralized people for who they are ....
When we finally wake up and invite people from the streets into houses ...
Who will apologize to them for the years of neglect and indifference? Who, on behalf of society, is going to say, "we're sorry for not recognizing your humanity and prioritizing you?"
by Laura Slattery, Executive Director, February 2015
I wanted to take a moment to respond to the incident that happened a couple of weeks ago when a cop was tasked with waking a homeless person up who was sleeping on a bus that had come to the end of its line near Ocean Beach.
The task of waking up homeless people is one that is not relished by the Gubbio Project staff and volunteers, but one in which we have become experts. We wake our unhoused neighbors up from the sidewalk in the morning at 5:45 am, from the front of the church when they fall asleep in those pews reserved for mass and prayer, from out in front of the church during the day, and finally from the pews at 2:45 pm when it is time for us to close. We must wake up 100 people a day that don't necessarily want to be awakened.
It is not an easy task, and probably our least favorite. It takes training, patience, compassion, more patience, time (that we sometimes don't have), and a bit of humor. And so it is with this expertise, and compassion for the 'awaking officer,' that I offer my insights on the incident.
In response to the characterizations from the Public Defender's Office that Police Officer Chu had "lost his temper" and that his actions were a "reckless and unnecessary escalation of force," Police Chief Suhr defended Officer Chu saying that he was acting as he was trained to do. While Suhr is probably speaking truth, it only makes the matter worse. It begs the question of anyone who has seen the video , And
what training is that?
A better response would have been for Chu to admit what the Public Defender's Office said was true - he did escalate the situation. It is understandable. Most people have had to put up with someone who was drunk. And it would be hard not to sympathize if Chu came out saying "I was impatient, and in my effort to accomplish my task - to get Mr. Warren off the bus - probably hurried him along too much. I got triggered when he insulted me, challenged me and offhandedly threatened me."
This self-knowledge and analysis is what I would expect of my staff if we had an incident here at Gubbio. Is it too much to ask this of those who are entrusted with the safety of the whole city?
Mr. Warren played his part in this incident. But he did not deserve to be beaten, pursued, and pepper sprayed, and then to spend two weeks in jail. He owes an apology to be sure for the way he acted, but he certainly deserves an apology as well.
Along with training in CPR/First Aid and working with folks who have mental health issues or suffer from addiction, I offer the staff training in knowing their triggers and in de-escalating situations. We use these skills every day. Wouldn't it be great if, after Chu's (suggested) acknowledgement of getting triggered, Police Chief Suhr could defend his apology saying "he was simply doing as he was trained."
by Laura Slattery, Executive Director, February 2014
Fear of people who are living on the streets is a very real thing. When I have talked with other churches about the possibility of them allowing homeless people to sleep on the pews of their church, their first response is often fear. There is the fear of what the neighbors and/or parishioners would think and do; fear for the schoolchildren, and of the parents' reaction, if there is a school; and fear of the drug use by some of the homeless folks.
The biggest fear, however, seems to be of the people themselves. I get it. Everyone has seen someone disheveled on the corner yelling loudly at a nonexistent enemy. And at St. Boniface, there has been the occasional mass that has been interrupted by someone having an episode.
But for every one person living on the streets who is shouting, there are 99 more who are not. Or 999 who are not. The Gubbio Project is celebrating being open for 10 years this April (2580 days of providing sacred sleep!). And while we have had some instances of uncertainty and instability with some of our guests that has made us rightfully fearful in the moment, we strive daily to see that those are isolated incidents and to see each person for who they are. The fact is, we have never had a serious incident of violence in the 18,060 hours in which an average of 75 homeless, bone-tired, beautiful, cranky people have shared space together.
Statistics like this should challenge the notions we and society have about our homeless brothers and sisters. People without homes are far more likely to be the victims of crime than the perpetrators. They are harassed, beaten up, assaulted, ignored, and stolen from. One reason I want the churches to take our neighbors living on the street in, is because they need safe places to be. Another is because I want the churches to take the lead in showing that what we should fear most is the damage that clinging to our stereotypes and fear of homeless people does to us, and to those we fear.

In the most recent homeless count in San Francisco in January 2013, an additional question was asked for the first time of one thousand of those who are unhoused: what is your sexual orientation. The results showed that 29% of those living on the streets identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer (LGBTQ).
Given the above statistic and Gubbio's mission of welcoming all our brothers and sisters who live on the streets, it is no surprise that The Gubbio Project, and hence St. Boniface Church from 6 am to 1 pm each weekday, is chock full of people who do not fit within the gender or sexual norms laid out by society, nor the Catholic Church, for that matter. It is a daily occurrence that we ask someone using the women's bathroom if they identify as a woman, and/or explain to questioning or upset guests that if people identify as female, regardless of their exterior trappings, we allow them to use the women's bathroom.
Daily, several couples of various gender combinations lay down next to each other in the back of church, often snuggling before they fall asleep. Each and every day, someone shares with us the pain of being rejected because of how they look or who they love (see article below), and often (though not often enough), they share the joy of finally feeling safe with someone, or getting put on a list for the surgery they need to make them look more like they feel.
To accompany the Gubbio guests, those who are struggling with addiction issues or mental health issues, or those 30% who identify as LGBTQ, we need to be able to cry with them and to rejoice with them. We cannot weep or celebrate with our brothers and sisters if we are thinking (or God forbid, saying) "God loves you, but you need to change." It is a most unhelpful message that people have been hearing their whole lives. A better second half of the sentence would be "and so do I."
It is no secret that LGBTQ folk do not often feel welcome in Church. I am glad to say that from 6 am to 1 pm every Monday through Friday, they are welcomed by this Project into this church with open arms.
*Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities that are not heterosexual, heteronormative, or gender-binary. No offense is meant by this term that has been largely reappropriated by the GLBTQ community from its form as an anti-gay epitaph.
by Emma Fenton-Miller, May 2013
Over the long weekend I saw a news article about a homeless man who died on the sidewalk around noon on May 10th at the corner of Market and 3rd. The article made clear that while crowds passed by this man who obviously needed medical attention, no one stopped to help him or called 911. Instead, at least one person used their phone to take a video of him as he bled to death. Help was finally called, too late, by a sanitation worker whose job it was to keep that piece of sidewalk clean.
I think most who hear this story are disturbed by our collective "back-turning" on those living in extreme poverty. It probably stuck in the minds of a few, brought them down a little and reminded them that the world is kind of messed up, adding to their cynicism but perhaps not to our collective action.
My first reaction was to wonder if the man who died was someone I knew, since when I left work on Friday a friend told me of how he was very sick and had been vomiting blood, which brought the situation close to home. This is the case for many, such as those who have family members living on the street, those who work with or are friends with someone who is homeless. For many who know someone who is homeless the cardboard thin abstract that is "homeless person" no longer distances in the same sort of way.
Instead of a depressing parable of the disconnection in our society or just a sensationally sad story, it is actually what happened to a real person. While I think it is important and needed to keep looking at the big picture in such an instance, it occurred to me that I should first simply and deeply feel for this person because in a profound way that's what was lacking.
Andrea: Franciscan Sister
On her spiritual background:
"I grew up in Northeastern South Dakota in a town of 150 people. I went to Catholic grade school. Catholicism was in the fabric of everything we did including social activities. Everyone I knew was Catholic. After dinner we would all kneel and pray the rosary together. When I was a senior in high school I decided to become a Sister. I was drawn to the Franciscan spirit of joy and to the emphasis on relationships. I've been a Franciscan sister now for 48 years.
On what stands out as a Chaplain at Gubbio:
The profound deep experiences of God that guests in The Gubbio Project share with me stand out. People are filled with the experience of God. God abides with them.
On homelessness:
Homelessness is a sad commentary on the lack of care we have for our brothers and sisters. It is a weakness that we [society] marginalize and have prejudices toward the poor and homeless. That's why Gubbio and St Anthony is so important. We want to be the hands, arms, heart of God. We want to receive the beauty these people have to offer.
On how she stays hopeful:
It is important to live in the present moment. Some moments have difficulty. In others we need to care for ourselves with quiet, prayer, entertainment. We have to fill our tank, nourish our souls, reflect, and change attitudes. These are hermitage moments. Being Franciscan is about being in right relationship with the self, each other, and with God, our abundantly generous God.
Bella: Episcopalian Seminarian
On her spiritual background:
Growing up, my family infrequently attended a Polish Roman Catholic Church. The homily was in Polish and the mass in Latin. I didn't understand a word, but it evoked that mystery thing that I still carry. I didn't go to church for many years. At 30 I was dealing with gender stuff I had suppressed for a long time. I wanted to fix the feeling of not being male. I would pray to God about it. I had a realization that it wasn't going away. God created me this way. Coming to terms with myself opened up my spiritual life. Even so I stayed away from Christianity and was drawn toward earth-based and First Nation's spirituality. Later I had conversion or reaffirmation experience. It was life changing. I became aware it was time to go to school so I began seminary in 2009.
On why she has been drawn to chaplaincy:
I like to be with the people, where the people are. The real work happens outside the church. Chaplaincy holds to the tenants of accompaniment, not proselytization. It's their agenda, not yours. Even though it may be hard for me to be a pastor, as a chaplain I can still be in that sacred space. Sometimes guests ask me "where's your church; where do you preach?" I realized there's not many places that people living on the street feel comfortable going to church.
On homelessness:
There is homelessness because of greed.. Because of not sharing. There aren't enough resources for people with mental health problems. Sometimes I feel there is a business being made on the unhoused. People need to take the power back. It will be the same until that movement of poor and marginalized people.
Empowerment and holistic care are so important, not just physical but also emotional and spiritual. That's why Gubbio is so important. We are the only place I know of providing nonjudgmental spiritual care at a drop-in center.
On self-care:
Spiritual practices are important, whatever that is to you: running, praying. I try to take a Sabbath. Some days are better than others. I try to remember that the good things are necessarily in your control and neither are the bad things. The hard stuff is still sacred. God is still in that. Being with the people is being with God.
Tyree: Baptist Minister & Seminarian
On his spiritual background:
I was born and raised in the Pentecostal tradition, Church of God and Christ. There were many pastors and singers in my family going back. I had a personal relationship with God from a young age. At 17 I had my call to ministry and became a licensed minister. First, I was a youth pastor, then pastoral assistant and I was a Pastor for a year in Texas.
On Chaplaincy:
As a minister, I was always drawn to outreach ministry; in nursing homes, with the sick and in prisons. I first met a chaplain when I was in the military in Iraq. They [chaplains] helped express faith and have church. These ministries are outside of the traditional church. You meet people where they are. Many people are reluctant to go to the prisons and hospitals. I love being able to be there for people of faith.
On being a chaplain at Gubbio:
On a discouraging note, many people here have heartbreak and feel hopeless. Many people have a terminal illness or just lost a loved one. You also find people have deep faith and many have a plan. There are people here in college who have found resources to help themselves. Many are working to overcome the circumstances. It's amazing.
On Homelessness:
There is a lack of compassion and respect for humanity. As a minister/chaplain, you see many people who "help" but don't treat homeless people well. They treat them like objects not as people. Some people think if you give money that everything should be ok. People don't take the time to find out what is needed and this can be demeaning. They are not committed to helping long term. There is no accountability as far as the character of those helping.
On hope:
In my profession, you preach self-care. I need to take care of myself spiritually and emotionally, to take care of others: sleep enough, pray. You have to have something to give. Hearing stories from people is hopeful; some people have hope. You listen to people and remember who the problems belong to and set boundaries. You have to have a level of trust in other people that they can make it without you. Allow them to do that. I learned that from my family that you have to trust people to live their own lives.
The Gubbio Project is a thousand strong. We are the 90+ people who come seeking rest and shelter each weekday on the hard pews in the beautiful, dry, safe, and warm-ish sanctuary of St. Boniface Church. We are the 75 more who daily come to use the clean and drug-free bathrooms, to get a razor, toothbrush, or a blanket, or to find out where they can store their stuff or get a shower. We are the 5 staff members who hold the sacred space in the church, keep it clean, outreach to the community, and share our vision of a church that is radically inclusive and walks with those who are down-trodden.
We are the 50+ volunteers who come every month to share a meal they have prepared, to assemble toiletry kits, to buy the cleaning supplies, to provide a listening ear to those in the community who are in need. We are the 6 Board members who gather monthly to reflect on what it might mean for church to be sanctuary, to figure out how to embody the belief that there is that of the divine in each person, and to strategize how to pay the bills and continue the work. We are all those who hold this Project in their hearts and pray for us. We are the thousand men, women, and children who have donated supplies and finances to the Project this past year. We are the parishioners from the 5 Catholic churches (and the students from the parish schools) that collected toiletries during Lent. We are the parishioners from the 6 churches that opened their doors to have Gubbio staff share at their masses, and their wallets to share what the Spirit lead them to give. We are the people in the church in Los Angeles who collected money for 35 sleeping bags because a teen there gave his away to someone in need. We are the people who read the Chronicle article, were moved by the story, and wanted to be part of providing "sacred sleep" for our unhoused neighbors.
We are the people in our partnering organizations who go out of their way to make the cafeteria available for breakfasts, who respond to our security needs free of cost, who share their worship space with us.
It is not the case of "we could not have done it without you" but more "we are doing this work - all of us." Each person who donates a pair of socks, brings OJ to the Friday morning breakfast, sleeps on the pew, or donates $2 makes the Project what it is. You, who are reading this newsletter, have, and are now participating in the work of keeping the doors of the church open, of walking with our brothers and sisters without homes, of declaring that yes, to be a sanctuary for those on the margins is a good and right use of church space.
In her book Traveling Mercies, author Annie Lammott wittily asserts that in all the world there are really only two prayers:
"Help me. Help me. Help me."
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
I think she's right, and I appreciate how these simple words acknowledge the essential impulses that are at the core of everything we do. We are tender towers of flesh moving through a bright, harsh landscape - nearly every day each of us needs some kind of help to do something we want, or get something we need, however small. And when the need is big, and the help comes, the relief and gratitude that floods out of us is as primal and potent as the need was.
Now while I think of myself as a generally compassionate person, I'm not one of those people who go out of their way to help others too often. I mean to be. And sometimes I am - sometimes I actually do get it together to bake a lasagne for my new-parent neighbors, or send a card to an ailing friend even though they're not expecting it. But mostly I do easy things, like take my old clothes to the Goodwill and send small checks to Amnesty International. Mostly I stay safe, and clean, and just think about helping in the bigger, messier ways.
And one of the things that makes giving help so messy is that it exposes you to other people's pain and sadness. If you actually look and listen to another person and truly tune in to their deepest needs, it can be uncomfortable, if not overwhelming. Most of us are only willing to make that dark journey into a few people in our lives - a partner, a sibling, a best friend - and maybe not even then.
Last week, I had an encounter that reminded me how fulfilling the impulse to "help" is not simple or easy. There is a homeless woman in Chiswick, the town I live in. Notably, she is the only homeless person I have ever seen here (except for a male drifter with an aging back-pack who hung around on a corner with his guitar for a week), which seems remarkable for a city neighborhood. She is an almost quintessential figure of a bag lady - 60ish with wild grey hair, completely hunched over, and dressed entirely in black cloth. She wears "shoes" on her swollen feet made of plastic bags, newspaper and rubber bands, and she drags behind her a wheelie-cart loaded down with plastic bags, boxes, bits of paper and string. She is often seen walking up and down certain streets by the tube, but even more commonly, she resides in a secluded bramble-patch at the edge of a parking lot behind my building. In that spot she starts cook-fires, feeds the pigeons, and spends a lot of time screaming. I think she is probably schizophrenic. But I have never seen her bother anyone, or be violent in anyway, or do anything other than hang out alone in the bushes. Intuitively, I think she has chosen to remove herself from society - to go to a place where she can be as she is without really bothering anyone.
I walk through this parking lot nearly everyday on my way to the tube or the shops, and I see this woman at least 3 times a week. When my mom was visiting, we had many conversations about her. I think to my mom, who had just turned 60, this woman was a terrifying figure - a kind of doppelganger of what she could have or possibly still could become if her circumstances shifted for the worse. For me, she was part of the landscape - something I had come to accept as part of the neighborhood, like the brick houses and the tall trees. Here's how some of our conversations went:
Mom: "I can't believe that a town as wealthy as Chiswick can't get it together to help this woman."
Me: "Maybe she doesn't want help. Maybe she's content living as she is."
Mom: "It's obscene that no one does anything for her. She could be any one of us."
Good point. And one that we all know deep down, but easily ignore when we past dirt-encrusted folks with tattered hair and no teeth on the street. "There but for the grace of G-d go I," quickly gives way to "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That she isn't me."
So I mulled on what my mom had said, and simultaneously I cleaned out my closet. I had an old pair of super-soft slippers that I no longer liked and a working (albeit slightly annoying) umbrella that I was prepared to give to the Charity shops. And then I thought, "Maybe I should give them to the Pigeon Lady. Maybe these slippers would feel good on her feet, and she probably needs an umbrella." And I put these things in a bag, and set them aside, and did nothing for many weeks.
I fantastized sometimes about walking up to this woman and handing her the bag. I tried to imagine the conversation we would have - maybe she would be happy about being approached and we would chat about the weather, the pigeons, the beautiful hyacinths blooming in her bramble patch. Maybe it would be a silent exchange, but I would catch her in the eye for a moment and we would see each other. Maybe she would yell at me and be alarmed by my trying to talk to her. There seemed to be a lot of plausible scenarios, and at the bottom of each was a cold little blob of fear - fear that she would do something to frighten Gabriel if I brought him along, fear that she might curse me or worse attack me, fear that I might not like looking in her eyes and really seeing what her life is like.
So, I did nothing. But I thought about it all the time, especially when I passed her on the street. It became a kind of secret I was keeping - my desire to help and my fear to do anything. Finally, I decided that I would leave the bag with a note for her to discover. I added a box of lovely chocolate cookies to the slippers and umbrella, double-wrapped them so the rain wouldn't get through, got out one of my nicest notecards, wrote her a little letter, and stapled it to the front of bag. Here's what it said:
To the Woman Who Feeds The Pigeons:
I thought these things might be useful to you.
I hope you are well.
Your Neighbor
I dropped the package off in the bramble patch on a sunny Tuesday morning, pleased that I was finally doing something. Later that morning I passed through the parking lot and saw the woman busy organizing her belongings in the bramble patch, so I knew she had seen my package. At the end of the day, I passed through again, and I noticed what looked like the bag, with the note still attached, sitting on the asphalt beside the bramble patch. There was no sign of the woman. I went over and inspected the bag. Both the bag and the card were unopened. On one side of the envelope, she had scribbled this note back to me:
You are not kind. And you waste your time.
I never take anything from anyone.
Tuesday, June 19th
I was startled. I had not considered this as a possible outcome. I felt embarrassed and caught. I put the bag down and started to cross the parking lot, but then it occurred to me that leaving the bag there might cause her distress, so I picked up the lot and carried it with me to the tube station where I tossed it in the bin. So much for good intentions.
Perhaps my initial instinct about this woman was right - she might be living outside on her own by choice - perhaps as a form of protection against past troubles. She was checked in enough to know the date. Or maybe she was offended by being offered something she hadn't asked for - perhaps she feels completely self-sufficient and my clumsy attempt to "help" made her feel angry because it challenged that sense of autonomy. Perhaps she is paranoid and distrustful of others and doesn't like being approached. There is no way to know for sure - no way except maybe trying to talk to her.
So for now, I'm pondering the experience, letting it sit in my heart, and waiting for inspiration to strike and when/how/if I should try to connect with this woman. If I do anything else, I think I will have to stretch much further out of my comfort zone than I am accustomed to. I will probably have to get a bit messy, a bit involved, and open myself up to the truth of this woman's situation, whatever it is. And I'm not sure if I'm up for that. I might be. On a good day. I'd like to be. We'll see.
Wait and see.
Look before you leap.
What could be simpler.
Be well.
An entry from Christine Young's Blog: Minkgirl Muses
by Laura Slattery, Executive Director
My name is Laura Slattery and I am the current Director of this Project, the Gubbio Project, that provides sacred sleep during the day to our brothers and sisters without homes in this neighborhood. The Gubbio Project is a sanctuary of sorts from the violence and disorientation caused by life on the streets that was started by Fr. Louie Vitale 8 years ago when he was pastor at St. Boniface.
We have asked Martin Sheen to share with us this evening on the topics of Social Justice and Sanctuary drawing on his faith journey. We thought that a fitting subject given the Gubbio Project's mission of offering radical hospitality and challenging societal, and sometimes church, notions of who belongs and who is worthy or sacred, combined with Martin Sheen's long history of social activism fueled by his deep convictions and values rooted in Catholic thought and practice. We first had the idea of inviting Martin Sheen to share some reflections with us when his recent movie, The Way, came out. We saw connections with the pilgrimage in the movie of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela to the lives of many of our guests and our own lives, of course. Finding sanctuary and kindness and ultimately transformation along the way.
I feel honored, or maybe humbled, to introduce Fr. Louie, who will then introduce his good friend and fellow activist, our guest this evening, Martin Sheen.
I've known Louie for almost 15 years now. I know many of you, including Martin, have known him much longer. What draws me to Fr. Louie (and to this Project he started) is his vision, the way he sees the world and the way he sees people. He looks at folks and sees sacredness and woundedness, doesn't matter their station in life, their wealth or lack of it. He can, and does, talk to the Nancy Pelosi's of the world the same way he talks with the homeless - attentive, caring, and not afraid to call out the BS when he hears it.
He looks at the world, and sees how we could be doing it differently - without nuclear weapons, without wars and torture, putting people before profit, seeing that it is up to us, to each one of us, to bring about the world that we want to see (he would use more religious words if you pressed him - the reality of the incarnation). He takes that insight seriously and stands up to the powers and principalities to make that a reality.
While I have known Louie for a long time, I just met Martin tonight. It is Louie's job to introduce and to interview him, but I wanted to end my remarks by reflecting on what I see as similarities between Mr. Sheen and Fr. Vitale.
Both are men that believe that one person can make a difference, and at the same time that we are nothing without community or without the Divine, the Holy. (Jump in here and correct me if I say something wrong about you). Both have been arrested (66 times for Martin, 200+ times for Louie, if Wikipedia can be trusted), arrested in the pursuit of justice for the earth, for those on the margins (be they homeless, glbtq, Palestinians, victims of torture), for an end to nuclear weapons. Both bring a refreshing humility to the work (one that is actually a requirement of nonviolence, right, because as Gandhi says - in the end if you're wrong you are the only one who has suffered because of your actions) and a passion to calling out injustice and calling forth a new way. They have chosen different professions, but they have the same call and are surely on the same path/camino. Folks, please welcome Friar Louie Vitale and Martin Sheen.

THE Singapore dollar is set to weaken sharply to $1.80 against the greenback within the next year, leading United States investment bank Morgan Stanley has predicted.
On Wednesday night, the exchange rate was about S$1.50 to the US dollar.
Morgan Stanley believes Singapore, like many export-oriented nations, will experience a more than expected weakness in its currency ahead.
However the Government is likely to endorse this currency weakness in order to support exports amid the global downturn. A weaker Singdollar generally makes exports relatively cheaper.
Mr Stephen Jen, the US bank's global head of currency research, made the prediction here on Wednesday at the Morgan Stanley Asia Pacific Summit.
He said the weakening of the local unit will be the result of not only a resurgent US dollar, but also an aggressive policy by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect this export-oriented economy during the global slowdown.
This is necessary to deal with what he called the 'changing realities' in the world economy led by the slowdown in China and contractions in the US, Europe and Japan. These changes are likely to lead to further weakness in export demand, on which Singapore's economy is highly dependent.
He said, 'Singapore exports will collapse like everywhere else, so I wouldn't expect anything other than an aggressive reaction from the MAS.'
The central bank shifted to a neutral exchange rate policy last month amid a deep slump in exports.
If exports continue to weaken, economists expect the MAS to intervene again ahead of its meeting next April.
