The Mustard Seed Boutique Helps Fund Homeless, Domestic Violence and Mental Health Services
(July 26, 2010)--The Living Legacy, Inc. is using its eclectic boutique, The Mustard Seed, to help rebuild the lives of the less fortunate. Nestled in North Memphis, the boutique offers new, vintage, and gently used women and children’s clothing, accessories, household wares, art, furniture and other items. The Mustard Seed Boutique has quickly become a hot find for some and a source of hope for others. Located at 2683 North Watkins, the boutique is open Monday – Saturday, and the proceeds from sales are used to fund the nonprofit organization’s programs that assist those suffering from mental illness, domestic violence and homelessness.
This boutique is just one of The Living Legacy’s many fundraising efforts but is by far the most fashionable. All of its items and even the building itself was donated by individuals who believe in their mission to empower, inspire and motivate individuals to participate in obtaining what is needed to gain control of their lives . Upon entry, patrons immediately noticed that it is not a traditional thrift store but truly a boutique with all the items beautifully arranged throughout. It’s not uncommon to find designer names among the donations. The Mustard Seed even offers the Ella & Evanatural hair and body care products and a line of unique soy candles that are never hot to the touch. Surprisingly, when melted they can be used as a fragrant body oil.
The Living Legacy, Inc. was founded in 2004, by a group of caring individuals who wanted to combine their efforts in order to be of greater service to the Memphis community. They began by offering free meals and food boxes to those in need but quickly realized how important it was to address other areas of their lives in order to nurture the entire individual. “People are usually willing to talk to you while enjoying a hot meal. We learned the individual stories of men, women and children who were suffering and grew to care about their well-being. Some of them were homeless, victims of domestic violence or had mental problems that were not being treated.
We wanted to help them and began offering free assistance through our programs. The Mustard Seed came about to help us finance these services,” says The Living Legacy Executive Director Bonita Whitfield.
Their services include individual and group counseling, anger management classes, support groups, substance abuse evaluations, workshops, twelve step meetings for recovering alcohol and drug addicts, hot meals and transitional housing. “We have seen several people use our programs to help change their lives for the better,” says Whitfield. “The Bible says if you have the faith of a mustard seed God will step in and do miraculous things. He has certainly done that with The Living Legacy and The Mustard Seed Boutique. Through the faith of a few believers he has created a wonderful avenue for men and women to pick up the broken pieces of their lives in order to become whole again.”

Former Radio Personality Launches Site for Good Women
Memphis, TN (November 2009) –Former WHRK radio personality and talk show host Jae Henderson has launched a website to encourage women to strive for excellence. Imagoodwoman.com began in July of 2009 and features interviews with women in Memphis and abroad who are accomplishing great things. She also offers practical advice, encouragement and interesting commentary through her blog, and a list of events and activities readers may want to check out.
According to Jae, this site is her way of spreading positivity to the masses. “So many of us just need a little encouragement every now and then, and I decided the best way for me to encourage the masses was to do it via the Internet. Each of us has the ability to accomplish great things, and I just want to motivate and inspire women to tap into that greatness to achieve something wonderful,” says Jae. “I believe one of the best ways to do that is to highlight women who are doing great things in our community and around the world. I hope after reading about others who are following their dreams people will say, ‘if she can do it, I can do too.’ Then, get to work. Life is too short not to.”
Jae is best remembered for roles as the producer and co-host of WHRK/K97 radio station’s talk show On Point. She is responsible for the show’s 2000 launch and its positioning as a vocal outlet for youth and youth adults in Memphis and the Mid-South. While on the show, Jae constantly encouraged others to live a life of success while minding their morals. She has transferred that same spirit of goodwill to Imagoodwoman.com. Jae currently works as copywriter and a professional voice over artist. Her first novel, “I’m A Good Woman, Now Where’s My Prince,” is scheduled for release in 2010.The content on Imagoodwoman.com changes monthly.
The most popular sections are This Good Woman and We Like Him. You may find it odd to have a feature about men on a women’s motivational site but the We Like Him page adds a little eye candy while giving kudos to some intelligent and talented men who understand the value of a good woman. In Jae’s Picks, the native Memphian shares some of her favorite finds--be it musically, literally or visually. She also doles out her own brand of advice in her blog. Women who subscribe to the e-newsletter have the opportunity to win great prizes during monthly giveaways.
This month’s featured Good Woman is Corinne Derenburger. Corinne is the Founder and CEO of Ryan's Ranch International (formerly Ryan's Hope), a nonprofit organization that focuses on the needs of families with children with multiple developmental disabilities. It was named after her special needs son Ryan, but this past summer Corinne was diagnosed with a terminal illness and is currently fighting for her life.“Each month I try to feature a woman who is doing amazing things or has an interesting story to tell. During November I wanted to focus on the theme of gratefulness. No matter what your current situation we all have a reason to be grateful,” says Jae. “Corinne Derenburger and her family have faced great challenges raising a severely mentally and physically challenged son and she is now facing an even greater challenge after being diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Even in what seems like a dark hour Corinne is full of light and life and is truly grateful for what God has blessed her with. I am happy to share her journey with my readers,” adds Jae.

Art Finder Fights To Have Martin Heade Johnson Painting Authenticated
(Jacksonville, FL)--After four years of speaking to art experts in an effort to have a painting created by the late American artist Martin Johnson Heade authenticated, Hazon Hall is about ready to give up. However, not before he alerts the world to his find and the frustrating struggle he has endured.
Martin Johnson Heade (August 11, 1819 - September 4, 1904) is a prolific American painter known for his salt marsh landscapes, seascapes, portraits of tropical birds, and still lifes. He was not recognized for his talent during his lifetime, but today his highly sought after body of work includes more than 500 paintings, drawings and sketches. Heade’s pieces can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and many private collections. In 2004, the artist was even honored with a stamp from the U.S. Postal Service featuring his 1890 oil-on-canvas painting, "Giant Magnolias on a Blue Velvet Cloth."
Hall found the gorgeous Heade painting while perusing a Florida flea market, and has named it “Harmony in the Home.” The oil on canvas work vividly depicts two nesting dusky seaside sparrows admiring their eggs within the folds of a bush adorned with beautiful pink blossoms. According to Hall, he has shown the painting to art experts at multiple museums and universities who have agreed the painting was done by Heade and encouraged him to continue his pursuit of authentication, as the painting has great merit. At one point, he secured a contract with an auction house that valued the painting at over $300,000 but failure to gain authentication led to the demise of the deal. Hall even had the 19th century painting restored by the Atlanta Art Conservation Center in anticipation of an auction. Authenticated Heade paintings are reported to have sold for as much as $2 million. Unfortunately, failure to gain authentication prevents Hall from being able to justify a substantial asking price, and has prompted opportunists to offer him as little as $35,000 for his find. Hall has refused to sell and continues to seek authentication.
After four years, Hall is no longer as excited as he once was. “I have grown weary in my quest to get this painting authenticated. I have contacted countless art professionals and each time I am met with a brick wall and no valid reason why it cannot be done. Then, I receive calls from people who want to purchase it for far below its value. I don’t understand why this has been so hard,” says the Jacksonville, FL resident. “I am going public with my story so the world will know that the painting exists and hopefully, it will one day take its rightful place among Heade’s other masterpieces. It’s a beautiful work of art and an amazing find. Perhaps my grandchildren will reap the benefits,” Hall adds.
The painting is currently in storage. One day “Harmony in the Home” will be properly recognized and for now, Hall continues on his quest to gain authentication. He just needs the right person in his corner in order to make his dream become a reality sooner than later. For more information, contact Hazon Hall at 706.751.1019 or hazonhv2002@yahoo.com.
