Like many people, I felt emotional hearing the news about Dolly Parton passing. I was touched to see people post letters they received from her. She really carried such genuine wisdom and kindness. A friend of mine who wrote a book about her (literally) always noted that her humility was the most striking thing and how she was willing to publicly own something, say sorry, and then move on. I think there is so much to learn from Dolly Parton. She will be missed.
Eminem’s post of the letter he received from Dolly. Read here.
All of Dolly’s interviews are quite astonishing. What a true example of courage on display here in her interview with Barbara Walters from 1977. I feel inspired by it.
