The world is forever a changed place without Dolly. We will miss not only her rhinestones, but also her sparkle.

Dolly was an inspiration to many, not only for her talent, but for her wisdom. Some of our favorite Dolly-isms:

1. Be yourself. You’re awesome the way you are so don’t change for others.
2. You only real competition is yourself. Challenge yourself to be the best version of you possible.
3. Be kind and give back to the community. We cannot all donate hundreds of millions of books but we can do little, meaningful things to enhance our community by donating our time.
4. Remember your roots and honor them. Your upbringing is a part of who you are, but it’s up to you how you apply those lessons.
5. Protect your value and ownership. If Dolly could stand up to Elvis, you can stand up for yourself too.
6. Go outside of your comfort zone. Who ever had a duet with Motley Crue on their bingo card in 2025? Not us but it was awesome:
