Seeing the Grand Ole Opry come together to honor Dolly says a lot about the impact she had on country music and the people who knew and loved her.

I grew up listening to Dolly with my mom and grandmother, so her music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Those songs bring back a lot of memories of both of them. ❤️

Dolly never forgot where she came from. She remained a woman of faith, kindness and humility no matter how famous she became.

Rest in peace, Dolly. You left behind one heck of a legacy, and you will be missed. ❤️🙏

The Puppy Who Refused to Let Go
I walked into the shelter with $50 and enough money to save only ONE dog.
Then I saw two terrified puppies clinging to each other-and learned one of them might not survive the night.
What happened next is the reason I still believe some families are found by accident.
The county shelter was overflowing that afternoon.
Every kennel was full. Volunteers were rushing from one emergency to another. Barking echoed through the crowded hallway, but underneath all that noise, there was something else...
Fear.
Then I reached Kennel 12.
Two six-month-old Pit Bull puppies were curled tightly together on a worn plastic bed.
One was chocolate brown.
The other was mostly white with a few tan patches.
They weren't just sleeping beside each other.
They were holding onto each other like their lives depended on it.
A volunteer stopped beside me.
"The brown one already has a foster lined up," she whispered.
Then she looked at the white puppy.
"But he doesn't."She hesitated.
"We're completely full. They have to be separated today. If nobody adopts the white one..."
She didn't finish the sentence.
She didn't need to.
Tomorrow could be his last day.
I watched as she opened the kennel and reached for the brown puppy.
That's when the white puppy panicked.
He threw his tiny body against his brother, buried his face into his fur, and let out a heartbreaking cry.
It was as if he was saying:
"Please don't take him. He's all I have."
I couldn't move.
These weren't the dangerous dogs people had warned me about.
They were babies.
Two frightened puppies who had survived everything together-and were about to lose each other because there simply wasn't enough room.
I stepped away.
Pulled out my phone.
Opened my savings account.
And transferred the money.
Then I walked back to the volunteer.
"I'll take both."
She stared at me.
"Both?"
I nodded.
"Both."
At first, I told myself I was only going to foster them.
Just until someone found a family willing to keep them together.
But deep down, I already knew.
They weren't leaving.
Today is their Gotcha Day anniversary.
And those two puppies who once clung together on a cold shelter bed now sleep beside each other every night on my couch.
They still curl up exactly the same way.
Only now, they're safe.
They have food.
They have warmth.
They have toys.
And most importantly...
They still have each other.
They have toys.
And most importantly...
They still have each other.
I walked into that shelter thinking I was going to save one dog.
Instead, two little brothers changed my entire life.
And every time I see them sleeping together, I remember that afternoon.
The kennel.
The fear in their eyes.
The desperate cry.
And the decision that changed everything.
Sometimes, you don't choose your family.
Sometimes, your family finds you.

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.

It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

Thank you for liking my post!

Dolly once wrote me a letter asking if I’d listen to a song she’d written and consider singing it with her. The truth is, I didn’t even listen before I said yes. When Dolly Parton asks, you say yes.

When God made Dolly, He broke the mold.

This one really hurts. 💔

[Just For Dogs @forbetterfordog]

Most dogs inherit a good home. Lulu inherited $5 million.

Bill Dorris was 83, unmarried, and a successful businessman in Middle Tennessee who spent most of his life on the road. His constant travel meant his border collie, Lulu, couldn’t come with him everywhere, so for years he left her with a close friend, Martha Burton, whenever he had to leave town. Burton, 88 at the time, never thought of it as a burden. She just called Lulu “a good girl” and kept doing it, trip after trip, year after year.

When Dorris died in November 2020, his will contained a line most people would never expect to read about a dog: five million dollars, placed directly into a trust, with one purpose written into it. “This trust is to provide for all the needs of Lulu.”

Burton didn’t ask for any of it, and she wasn’t named a beneficiary herself, just Lulu’s continued caretaker, reimbursed for whatever reasonable expenses came with keeping her comfortable. “He just really loved the dog,” Burton told reporters, still sounding a little stunned by the number attached to that love. “I don’t really know what to think about it, to tell you the truth.”

Lulu kept doing exactly what she’d always done, guarding the front door of the same Nashville home, unaware she could now afford round-the-clock security if she wanted it. Burton knew there was no realistic way to ever spend that much on one dog’s care. She said it anyway, with a smile: “I’d like to try.”

A man spent his whole life building wealth most people only dream about. In the end, the one thing he made absolutely certain of was that his dog would never want for anything after he was gone. 🐾💰

[Music over time🎻 @Peal8888]

When a Great Song Is Enough: Why “Take On Me” Can Make Decades Disappear

There is something I always find fascinating when I watch performances from the 1980s again: they remind me that sometimes, music does not need much to hold your attention.

Watching Morten Harket perform “Take On Me” on a television stage back then, I almost forget that I am watching a program from decades ago. The stage is small, the lighting is simple, and the band stands behind him. There are no enormous LED screens or endless visual effects changing every few seconds.

Then Morten Harket reaches those high notes.

And I understand why this song is still here.

“Take On Me” was released in 1985, later reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a global phenomenon. Its famous pencil-sketch music video became so iconic that it almost feels inseparable from the song itself.

But what I love most about this live performance is that it shows “Take On Me” never really needed that video to survive.

Take away the visuals, the fashion, and even the memories of MTV, and the core is still strong: an unforgettable melody, that unmistakable keyboard line, a tight band, and Morten Harket’s extraordinary voice.

What I especially love about performances like this is the feeling that the music is simply being allowed to speak for itself.

Today, we are used to enormous productions. Lights, screens, effects, choreography, and visuals can all become part of a performance. They can be impressive, but sometimes I find myself missing something simpler: a singer standing behind a microphone and making people listen through nothing more than their voice.

Perhaps that is also why I do not completely agree when people say the music of the 1980s is great simply because of nostalgia.

Nostalgia certainly plays a part. But a song cannot survive for more than 40 years on memory alone.

It has to contain something strong enough for people who never lived through that era to hear it and still feel something.

“Take On Me” has that.

The clothes are dated. The technology on the stage belongs to another time. But when Morten Harket reaches those high notes, I almost stop thinking about 1985.

I just hear a great song.

And perhaps that is one of the hardest things music can ever accomplish:

Making you forget what era it came from.

Do you remember when you first heard “Take On Me”?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Country music legend Dolly Parton died today at the age of 80.

My favorite story about her:

Parton wrote the songs “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” on the same night.

When the first song was at the top of the charts in 1974, Elvis wanted to record his own version of the song. Dolly was interested until Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, said that it was standard procedure that when the king of rock and roll covered a song - half of the rights to that song would go to him in the future.

She refused it.

“I said, ‘I’m really, really sorry’ and cried all night. It was terrible for me, on the one hand, it’s Elvis. People told me: “You are crazy.” It’s Elvis Presley…’ but I just couldn’t do it. Something told me in my heart not to do it and I didn’t. I know he would rock with that song. But I couldn’t. And then Whitney Houston came along with her version and I made enough money from the rights to buy Dollywood.”

She grew up in severe poverty and no one famous has done more for the education of the poor than her.

In 1990, the percentage of students who did not graduate from high school in her hometown was over 30%. She introduced the “Buddy Program”, where all high school graduates received a nice sum when they graduated. It wasn’t just a waste of money, she personally came and explained the concept to them - everyone should find a buddy, and whoever doesn’t succeed she will find one for them. Everyone had to sign that they will graduate and do everything in their power to ensure that their buddy also graduates. She taught young people about friendship and helping.

The number of school dropouts dropped to below 6% and has remained so until today.

When 900 families lost their homes in the 2016 fires, she paid each family $1,000 for the next five months. When she came to the bank to finish the paperwork, she gave each family another $5,000 to find. A total of nine million dollars.

Also, her work - Imagination Library from 1995, was inspired by her realization that young people in rural areas and poor families already fall behind when they start school and that this prevents them from pursuing higher education. The goal of her program was for every child in her district to receive one book, once a month, from birth to school, completely free of charge, without any conditions. It started as an initiative in her hometown and has spread to a huge number of countries around the world.

By 2018, over 100 million books were distributed in this way.

She is also known for her witty statements, at the beginning of her career she said:

“I’m not offended by jokes about stupid blondes because I know I’m not stupid… and I’m not really blonde either.”
