    At the height of the pandemic when many nauseating celebrities were complaining that they were bored silly in their multi million dollar mansions, Dolly Parton was telling bedtime stories to kids online for frazzled and stressed out parents. She also donated one million dollars to the research and development of the Moderna vaccine! She's truly a compassionate humanitarian who doesn't do these any of these things for any type of recognition or praise...but simply because she has a heart of solid gold.

Our public library sponsors one and it’s been such a blessing for our family during COVID.

    She wanted to look like "trash" because she thought that someone others saw as low was beautiful and it so perfectly describes her whole aura. She always sounds like she finds beauty everywhere and in her own flaws and other people. It feels honest, maybe pure is a good word?

The way she speaks to the audience like she's telling stories to her kids or grandkids, making the answers thorough and honest and open and relatable... and there's NOTHING wrong with the way other, younger people answer these (brief, often funny, succinct), but there's just something so wholesome about her personality and the way she talks like she's genuinely thrilled to have the chance to tell you her stories.

She has the most soothing voice, and her personality seems so kind and loving. Ms. Dolly Parton and Ms. Patti LaBelle seem like they have similar energies. Kind, loving, giving and maternal. To me Ms. Dolly seems like the epitome of what a TRUE Southern Belle is. The real definition of a Queen in my opinion. May God continue to bless this national icon and treasure. 🥰👑😍👑🥰

    That teeny bit of her singing 9 to 5 was EVERYTHING. Sounds the same now as how many years ago? Truly a world treasure and forever icon.
