Sharifah Hardie, a 29-year-old writer, CEO and single mother, says she has recently made a stand on Tom Cruise's behalf and wants to take today's leaders to task.
She adds, in a soon to be released magazine article for African American Woman, Tom is right. Although I do not agree with Scientology in its entirety, I don't believe you have to join his religion in order to understand his views. Isn't it time we all became passionate about life?

Hurricanes Katrina & Rita caused an immeasurable amount of damage to the lives of many people and to the states of Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama. The emotional and physical strain left on our country can not be summed up in words that justify. In the aftermath of these natural disasters, many have risen to the challenge by aiding victims of these natural disasters. Many Americans came to the aid of their fellow man by donating food, clothes, money, room and board, and sacrificing their own personal lives to help others pick up the pieces of theirs. Last year at the Hurricane Katrina & Rita Relief Aid Drive, held in conjunction with former NFL Star, Bobby Taylor's Endzone Fashions and leading area promotion agency 20.10 Media, our efforts collected countless items of clothing, food, and much more. The time has come again for us to rise to the occasion once more to assist those still in need.
Inspired by these selfless acts of the past, Mictap.com has linked up with the renowned Rebellion Customs (formerly Dassler's Rebellion) to design a custom made pair of Addidas "Stan Smith's" to commemorate the one year passing of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The design concepts celebrates the rich culture and history that the world has come to familiarize with New Orleans, one of well known devastated areas. All proceeds will go to both the immediate and on-going continuous efforts to assist the Aldine Youth Center (Houston), St John's Church (Houston), & the Journey Home Center (New Orleans). This stands for much more than a well-to-do effort; it represents the genuine sense of sympathy & care the general public and Hip-Hop community has for those displaced by these natural disasters.
The shoes, affectionately referred to as the "Soles of New Orleans," will be auctioned off on Ebay, with the auction starting on December 11,2 006. Prior to the auction, the shoes will be on display at various retail shops in Houston.

According to a recent U.S. survey by Passion Marketing Research Associates, 62% of the female respondents say “their most cherished gift on Valentines Day would be a letter in the handwriting of their beloved.” But what are the chances they’ll receive one?
To help men and women get what’s in their heart on paper, Renee Michaels, owner of SweetLoveGifts, an anniversary gift web site, wrote a simple, online “how-to” guide that gives different approaches to writing a love letter.
“Most men and women don’t feel they can write a meaningful love letter,” says Renee. “There’s thousands of online searches every month for ‘free love letters’ and ‘sample love letters,’ but the most wanted love letter is an original one. The recipient will know immediately if a love letter was written or not by their sweetheart. It’s not going to mean as much if it’s not your own words of love.”
