To celebrate Dolly Parton Day, do something kind today. Donate books or share one of her songs, read to kids or shelter dogs, share some laughter in her honor. It would make her smile and we sure could use some joy right about now. RIP Dolly #DollyParton925

“Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes & ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up & speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency & justice." ~RFK
