I just wrote about my own Polly Parton experiences. I lived in Tennessee for the first 30-something years of my life, so got to be pretty well acquainted! Anyways, I mentioned your blog in my post, so you should check it out! Thanks for all your fun writing!

When you are a child and have “less than” or feel “less than” you usually do “less than”. Dolly deserves a lot of credit but somewhere in that young life there was someone who really made her believe she was “MORE THAN” or could do “MORE THAN”. No how much talent and how many gifts, someone has to teach you that you are worth to open them and show them. That someone speaks with the voice of God.

Thanks to whomever did the speaking and thanks, Dolly, for listening.

This is a really neat post. She really seems like such a genuine, sweet lady. I love that she is proud of her past and of her family as well.

JLB–thanks for telling us about her book. It sounds great. I love that kind of stuff. I went through Dolly Parton’s museum, which was a lot of fun. They had a replica of her hometown church built inside, and it was so small I’m not sure how they fit more than the preacher and three congregants inside. Were people that much smaller back then?

I love Dolly! You really should read her book “My Life and Other Unfinished Business” It really is great and goes into a lot of detail about their life. She does so much work for great charities like the book foundation she started. I read her book everytime I get depressed for inspiration. She really did grow up “dirt poor”.
