Ahead of the official launch of Teeda Says, “Be Patient”, Teeda Publishing offered a special first look at the book during an intimate girls’ luncheon at Bari Ristorante in Houston. The gathering served as an early celebration of the story and the community behind it.

Theresa Hildreth hosted the luncheon for a close group of friends—women who, like Theresa, are mothers, sisters, and grandmothers. Around ten guests attended, creating a warm and personal atmosphere filled with meaningful conversation, laughter, and shared experiences.

Guests were treated to a beautifully curated dining experience featuring Bari Ristorante’s signature dishes. Each attendee also received a custom gift bag featuring Teeda Says, “Be Patient”, filled with thoughtful goodies including mugs, butterfly earrings, and other keepsakes inspired by the book’s message.

The luncheon provided Teeda’s friends with a first glimpse of the book weeks before its public debut, allowing them to celebrate the milestone in an intimate and supportive setting. More than a preview, the gathering honored the women and relationships that helped shape the heart of Teeda Says, “Be Patient” a story rooted in family, patience, and the beauty of nurturing the next generation.
