Stop worrying about what’s “wrong” with you and start asking what’s overflowing in you. Dolly’s example is a guaranteed smile-maker. Her “illness” is a reminder that life is meant to be vibrant, loud, and a little bit ridiculous.
Go on. Take on your own “Battles”—those projects you’ve been putting off. Write that song. Paint that wall. Wear that outrageous hat. Dolly would want you to.
And the next time someone asks, “What illness does Dolly Parton have?” you can smile and answer: “The beautiful, incurable kind called ‘being Dolly.’” Now go out there and catch it for yourself—it’s the most fun you’ll ever have.
