The world has lost a beautiful soul. Over the last year I have become more familiar with Dolly. Learned more about her. Been inspired more by her. I have sought out her wisdom so so so many times. I knew my mom adored her but I didn't know just how inspiring she truly was. Her loss feels deeply personal to me. I'm sure it feels that way to many.
This morning I thought about the beautiful things we all have and l felt lucky. I looked around at so many symbols of the people in my life. The handmade coffee cup from Bob Cederholm that he gave me after learning how much I loved the copper color, the keychain on my keys from a good friend, the empowering pendant around the mirror in my car from someone I barely knew, the dandelion in resin made by ak_made_gritty's son years ago that sits on the front counter at the store. All the little things have a BIG impact on who I am. I'm lucky. We are all lucky and I will continue to remember that.
Thank you Dolly, for all that you mean to people. The world was lucky to have you. 🫶🏻
