She has used her lack of sight as a springboard to give motivational talks both within and beyond the context of her ministry, Diane Rose Ministries. "The way I look at it, if I can do what I have done without sight, how much can you do?" she said.
Her achievements are considerable. Even without sight, Diane was heavily involved in the Nashville music scene as a journalist covering the various aspects of, and personalities in, country music.
Diane's music connections have resulted in quilts being sold to such personalities as country music legend Loretta Lynn. "I also made quilts for her to hang in her gift shop," Rose said. Other celebrity clients include Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner, Ralph Emery and others.
