Dolly Parton inspires us in more way than one, especially during the month of love.

This Month Of Love, Give For The Love Of Dolly

Do you watch tv? Of course, we all do because of its part of how we keep ourselves entertained. Did you watch the Grammy's? Did you see all the entertainers perform? They were wild and crazy. All the entertainers there, in my opinion, deserved a Grammy for all their hard work and the music that they perform all year round every year.

There is one person that we don't hear from much anymore and that is Dolly Parton. She is a wonderful and talented lady and I believe that no matter who you are, you should be inspired by the work she has done over the years. We should not only be inspired, but try to be like her in our own way. She is one special and talented lady. She has many famous quotes to look back on that can touch us in different areas of our lives. One of the quotes I wanted to touch on is "if you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." This can touch us no matter if we are twenty or sixty-five. Like they said at the Grammy's, this is how Dolly made her career so influential. No one was forcing her to stay where she was at and to feel miserable, because that's not how life should be. Only we can take control of our own lives--no one can dictate our dreams besides us.

There are many names that we don't hear much anymore in the news or for the great work they do in communities around the United States. Why is Dolly so influential? She is the Founder of the Dollywood Foundation which funds money to the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. What does this foundation do exactly? This foundation provides books to pre-schooled age children every month. She is not only receiving awards and taking credit for the hard work she puts into it but she also gives back to the community and isn't selfish with her money like some celebrities can be. Many of them just take the credit and we don't hear much of the greater deeds that they might do for others. It just slides under the rug!

For the love of Dolly, be inspired and do great things for others and your community. No matter how big or small!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
