Art for Justice
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Leann Marie Zafuto - 404.350.9232 - artforjustice@yahoo.com
or leannzafuto@gmail.com - www.artforjustice.com
Introducing the launch of Art For Justice And Victims United, a new foundation benefiting "justice" organizations nationwide, through art and art related events. Based in Atlanta, where there are currently over 4,500 missing person cases, the project began in the fall of 2005 by artist and public relations and marketing professional (and crime victim), LeMariearie Zafuto.
Art For Justice And Victims United is an "umbrella" organization designed to raise funds and awareness for national and local non-profit foundations that support victims of violent crime and missing person cases. This, as artists commit to donate a percentage of sales from curated corporate displays, gallery shows and website sales. Funds will also be secured through corporate donors, sponsors, and "Dine Out" events. Not only will money be raised but additional awareness called to a variety of missing person cases nationwide and caring artists will gain sales and great exposure of their work.
Currently under the umbrella is the Carole Sund-Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation, an important organization that provides reward money and support for family and friends of missing persons throughout the country. Also, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Protect.Org and The TNT Foundation, (Tara & Natalee Team.) This fund is in the planning stages to become an official resource and support foundation, dedicated to missing Georgia teacher, Tara Grinstead and high profile missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway.
Art For Justice will also sponsor the unique nationwide "create to heal" program called "Keep Hope Alive" Memorial Art Fund in which friends and families of victims and victims themselves can create art to display and sell on the website and at various art events. All proceeds will go directly to their loved one's family and/or foundation.
The growing list of supporters include One & Two Midtown Plaza Corporate Center, Starbucks, Boswell Gallery in Decatur, Winterich Law Firm, Mama Creative Graphic Design, Watercolors By Design Web Services and a growing group of art buyers and collectors.
The statistics are alarming! Think you or someone you love will never be affected by a violent crime? Think again. Violent crime knows no boundaries of your race, wealth, status, religion or the city where you live. Now more than ever it's time to get involved and join in a powerful cause through art. Art For Justice And Victims United seeks artists, galleries, donors, personal, corporate & business sponsors, media, restaurants, patrons, event help & volunteers-and anyone who wishes to join the fight.
Learn how you can make a difference and get involved today! Visit http://www.artforjustice.com/ ,

Too many emotions
You brought the sunrise
You opened my heart
Too many emotions
Because we were torn apart
Why do I feel this way
What have you done
Should have been togerther
Because you were the one
They told me you were bad
They told you I wasn't good
Why didn't I speak up
We were so misunderstood
You thought I didn't care
I thought you wanted another
You were tucked away in my heart all this time
I was so heartbroken, I didn't even bother
I held your picture close to my heart
For such a long time I thought it was my fault
I asked for help in finding you
No one took me with a grain of salt
Last night I cried
Because now I know
We were two flowers
That were meant to grow
Together, together we should have been
We were so young, I thought it was love
I cried for so long when you were gone
Then one day I was blessed by the Heavens above
Maybe this is a sign
Maybe we have another chance
All I know is there is too much emotion
You opened my heart
Too many emotions
Because we were torn apart
Why do I feel this way
What have you done
Should have been togerther
Because you were the one
They told me you were bad
They told you I wasn't good
Why didn't I speak up
We were so misunderstood
You thought I didn't care
I thought you wanted another
You were tucked away in my heart all this time
I was so heartbroken, I didn't even bother
I held your picture close to my heart
For such a long time I thought it was my fault
I asked for help in finding you
No one took me with a grain of salt
Last night I cried
Because now I know
We were two flowers
That were meant to grow
Together, together we should have been
We were so young, I thought it was love
I cried for so long when you were gone
Then one day I was blessed by the Heavens above
Maybe this is a sign
Maybe we have another chance
All I know is there is too much emotion
Something brought us together by circumstance

A Woman's secret and prayer
A Woman's Secret .. and her Prayer
There was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years.They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old womanhad a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husbandnever to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover....
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls anda stack of moneytotaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secretof a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever gotangry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only twoprecious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two timesin all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness......
"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what about all of thismoney? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling all the dolls..."
A Prayer.
Dear Lord, I pray for :
Wisdom to understand my man;Love to forgive him;And Patience for his moods;because Lord, if I pray for Strength,I'll beat him to death.

I AM IN SHOCK
I just heard from an old friend from high school that I haven't seen in probably 17 years! He contacted me through Classmates. I just don't know what to say to the guy. I tried to contact him through Classmates two years ago when I first signed up, but with no luck. I'm actually scared. Yes, me! Miss Wall of Steel, scared to chat with someone. Whew, I need a drink now! Later!
Blessed be!
Blessed be!

STEELERS WIN SUPERBOWL XL
Pittsburgh Steelers Win One for the JawBy ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer
Sunday, February 5, 2006

--
Finally, Bill Cowher won the big one, and in the hardest way possible. Not only did his Pittsburgh Steelers win one for the thumb, they won one for the Jaw.
The Steelers' jut-jawed and oft-intense coach had made a career of losing championship games — five in all, four in AFC championship games in Pittsburgh since January 1995.
But given the hardest road possible to an NFL championship after so many losses at home, his Steelers became the first team to win three road playoff games and then the Super Bowl by beating Seattle 21-10 on Sunday.
It was the franchise's fifth Super Bowl title, the long elusive One for The Thumb they had sought since the days of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris and Jack Lambert in January 1980.
After the Steelers won it, Cowher began crying on the sideline. Turns out one of the NFL's toughest coaches can be a softie, too.
Cowher's relief was apparent, too, and not only by his tears of joy. As he stood on the victory podium at midfield, he slapped hands, pumped his fists and raised his in triumph — a coach exonerated.
Then he raised up the Lombardi Trophy high with one hand, but only after first handing it to Dan Rooney, the team owner. Cowher has long said his career-long goal has been to give that trophy to Rooney.
"This is a special group of players, these guys are so deserving — I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, the players, the coaches and the city," Cowher said.
Wearing their lucky white road uniforms even though they were designated as the home team, the Steelers finished off their unprecedented sweep of the top three seeded teams in the AFC and the top-seeded team in the NFC.
And the coach who got so much grief for being outcoached twice in AFC title games by the Patriots' Bill Belichick, for not having his teams prepared or inspired for title games clearly did the best coaching job of his career under the toughest circumstances.
Cowher did so by invoking such diverse figures as Christopher Columbus and Jerome Bettis, and by putting the ball squarely in the hands of his inexperienced second-year quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. That move clearly went against the Steelers' long-standing philosophy of winning by the run.
Two months ago, when the Steelers were 7-5 and needed to win their final four regular-season games merely to get into the playoffs, Cowher stood up at a team meeting and told them that the journey looked hard and tough but could be done.
He then cited Columbus' unknown journey to a new world in 1492, and how his players could chart a path never accomplished by an NFL team — a unique pep-talk blend of American history and NFL history. Intrigued, some players read up on Columbus, and some talked about "Winning one for Chris."
Later, after the Steelers won those four and started their AFC playoff sweep of Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Denver, Cowher talked of how badly he wanted Bettis, one of the greatest running backs in NFL history to get back to his hometown of Detroit and win the Super Bowl. Bettis, as expected, announced his retirement during the Lombardi trophy presentation.
Last month, Cowher's players began talking openly of winning a championship not just for The Bus, but for a coach who is No. 14 in NFL career victories but is one of the few on the list without a Super Bowl.
Not now, he isn't.
Cowher changed his personality in these playoffs, too, reflecting the Steelers' take-all-chances approach. The Steelers beat the Colts and Broncos by jumping into big early leads created by Roethlisberger's passing — a switch in tactics by a team that has run the ball more than any other in the NFL the last two seasons.
"We're going to go as far as he takes us," Cowher said of what now, at age 23, is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.
By letting Big Ben take him to a Super Bowl, Cowher no longer faces unenviable comparisons to Chuck Noll, his predecessor who won those four Super Bowls — the first one in the 1974 season by putting the ball in the hands of a young quarterback named Bradshaw.
Just as Cowher told his players to learn from history, apparently he did, too.
