Press Release Body = (Columbia, SC) November 15, 2006 - "I've always known I wanted
to do something in performance. I started the basics of performing when I was six
years old; I started doing community theatre at eight; and I started keeping
journals at ten years of age," according to Dancing With The Stars and High School
Musical starlet, Monique Coleman. Regarding her home, Coleman revealed that deep
colors and hues (like cranberry and purple) tend to "move me and feed my energy."
HOW WE LIVE Magazine Publisher, Dana F. Tucker, features Coleman along with NFL
great and Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Harry Carson in the article, "Having A
Talk with Harry Carson", in her magazine's much anticipated Fall 2006 Edition, aptly
themed, "All Things Fall". Making the most of every moment in life is of the utmost
importance to Carson. "I have this plaque in my office that's placed right before me
and it reads, 'All that you have can be taken in the blink of an eye'. Those are
words that I live my life by because they're so true."

This edition of How We Live Magazine is chocked-full of sophisticated décor,
interesting articles, inspiring stories, stunning interiors, and helpful tidbits on
everything from falling home interest rates and recipes, to investment advice,
preparing a will, and the top fall travel destinations. Lavish interior design is
showcased in the magazine's How We Decorate Department with "Fall Home Fashions",
while the upscale magazine, similarly, offers "5 Tips for Fall Decorating" -
exemplified by the article's eye-catching home décor. Befitting for the ritualistic
fall past-time of football, exquisite home theatres and media centers are covered in
Tech Savvy Home's, "Extravagant Media Centers, Exceptional Entertaining".
Tailgating scenes and tablescapes appropriately round out the fall tradition. Other
high-profile celebrities the innovative magazine features include NFL star, Travelle
Wharton; Jazz Pianist, Marcus Johnson and singing sensation, Marlena Smalls of
Marlena Smalls and the Hallelujah Singers; and a photo collage of entertainment and
political heavyweights such as actor Morgan Freeman and former Atlanta and New
Orleans Mayors, Andrew Young and Mark Morial, respectively.

A golden-voiced singer whose dreams become a reality; a basketball superstar who's
taking his game to higher heights, and a lovely fashion model who beat the odds to
rise to national prominence are all featured in the issue's inspiring CAREER CORNER:
How We Excel Department. Singer, Gena Chambers, winner of "Gimme The Mike -
Charlotte"; NBA phenom and Charlotte Bobcat, Raymond Felton; and model, Christian
Davis, of this season's cycle of America's Next Top Model discuss how they took
their respective careers to the next level and how, in spite of their young ages,
their sheer dedication, poise and determination allowed them to strive to reach
their dreams with dignity and heart.

Its Arts-N-Affairs Department highlights both the artists and art that adds
tradition and character to any home. The aesthetically pleasing and jaw-dropping art
of famed and richly talented Post-Harlem Renaissance artist, Marion Griffin, is
showcased here. "The Tie That Binds . The Art of Marion Griffin" captures the
Virginia Beach-based artist's rich background and adolescence that is woven into the
tapestry of her beautiful art. Culture, history, and stories of Gullah tradition
intertwine with soul-stirring gospel-flavor in the musical legend that is Marlena
Smalls in "Marlena Smalls and the Hallelujah Singers: A Legacy of Love." While in
"Face Time with Accomplished Jazz Pianist, Marcus Johnson", jazz savior faire and
cool instrumental cuts define the "neck factor" movements caused by this young
musical genius.

HOW WE LIVE Magazine wittingly turns the table on its summer issue's page-turning
"Cool Men with Cool Cribs" feature by delving into the rich lives of six
"Professional Ladies with Posh Pads". Their unique individual décor style, their
success at work, and their inner- and outer-beauty is chronicled and photographed in
the gorgeous homes of these sophisticated and intellectual ladies from all over the
country.

Top." Helpful tips on how to preserve your lawn for fall are relayed in "Fall Lawn
Preservation" and the always popular, "What's Your Style?" showcases beautiful home
