In life, you’re going to overflow with something: doubt, worry, stress. Why don’t you overflow with hope? Why don’t you believe that surely goodness and mercy are following you?
Dolly Parton died just over a year after losing her beloved husband, Carl Dean. The two were together for more than 60 years and while they kept their relationship private, Dolly always had the sweetest things to say about him in her ET interviews over the years.
In the video announcing her passing, her nephew, Bryan Seaver, said, "Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens." 🤍🕊️
There will be some silence, times when you’re not getting confirmation, not seeing any signs. Thoughts will tell you that, “You’re off course. It’s not going to happen. You heard wrong.” No, don’t be moved by the lack of evidence, what you don’t see. The silence doesn’t mean that God is not working.
Frida: The Making of an Icon
by Mari Carmen Ramirez
A sweeping new assessment of Frida Kahlo’s place in modern art, from her self-made image to her lasting influence for contemporary artists
Few artists have shaped popular culture as profoundly as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), whose striking self-portraits and deeply personal symbolism have captivated audiences for decades. Remembered, too, for her tumultuous marriage to fellow artist Diego Rivera and her passionate political activism, Kahlo’s legacy transcends her artistic oeuvre. To this day, contemporary artists draw on Kahlo’s life and work for creative inspiration. Showcasing Kahlo’s paintings alongside the work of other artists from around the world and from midcentury to today, Frida: The Making of an Icon investigates the profound and lasting nature of Kahlo’s impact.
With essays by leading researchers, scholars, and curators, Frida: The Making of an Icon is the first major examination of how Kahlo became a global icon and an important artistic influence, especially beginning in the 1970s. In seven sections, addressing themes from Kahlo’s role as a gender-fluid intellectual to her political activism, and including conversations with contemporary artists Magali Lara and Mónica Mayer, this important book celebrates and bridges the complexities of her iconic status and cultural, political, commercial, and artistic legacy.

Tiffany Haddish appeared in court to finally resolve her January 2022 DUI arrest. The comedian kept it lighthearted throughout the hearing, cracking jokes about the four-year delay, even going so far as to turn the actual entry of her guilty plea into a bit!
