DIANE (right): "Sometimes people stop moving forward and they stagnate, but when you know somebody's in your corner, you're motivated to get yourself unstuck. At The House, we do that through relationships, through encouraging each other, and by developing a sense of sisterhood. We work with ladies in the Orange Mound community to bring out the gifts God has put into them. We have classes in financial literacy, how to write resumes, how to find and keep a job, sewing, and basic life skills such as cooking healthy meals. Some of the women enjoy gardening, so they grow vegetables and flowers here and help keep the grounds looking good. We have something called 'Tea Life' where the women learn about the various teas, learn how to package them, and then work in the Tea Shop. This building has been here for a long time, but The House was established three years ago. It gives women somewhere to go that nurtures their hearts and is enjoyable and serene. I look forward to getting here in the mornings. It's a place of peace."
