Dear Dolly Parton…

Dear Dolly,

Well, I never thought I’d live in a world without you, to be honest. I always thought you’d be around, bright, sparkling and lovely. Such a kind and lovely person that everyone could learn something from. The amount of wisdom and simple kindnesses that you shared with everyone is beyond measure. If only this world had more of you in it.

With everyone feeling so bereft and sorrowful because of your passing, I asked my “associate” (AI) to help me create some clipart to put into my art journal to remember you by. And because of you, I’m sharing this with anyone who wants it for their journals as well. Because we all feel your loss and all the good you brought to the world with your talent, charisma, love and kindness. Everyone needs to take a page out of your book.

I’d also like to share with you the incredible foundation that Dolly founded: The Dolly Parton Imagination Library. What a fantastic way to give to kids to make them life long learners. Read more about her foundation here and feel free to donate to it to honor this magnificent person.

We are lucky to have lived during her time, to be touched by both her music and her gentle kindness. For someone who we may not have ever met, but could have considered a friend. So in tribute to this wonderful magical woman, make a journal page, watch a Dolly Parton movie and listen to her beautiful and wonderful music. And send her up a positive message of gratitude for leaving a legacy to us and future generations to show us what we should all strive for during our own existence: Humanity and kindness.

In a world full of negativity and dim light, be more like Dolly.
