Diva Dolly

I was reading an article in Ladies Home Journal about Dolly Parton. Even if you don't like country western music you have to admit she is quite a woman! She has copywrited some 3000 songs, has an amusement park named after her, started Imagination Library for poor children and runs a pretty big company out of Nashville. She's been married to the same guy for 41 years. (that alone is pretty incredible!)
In the article Dolly was asked about plastic surgery and she admitted to having it done. She said that's why her husband has stuck with her all of these years---he gets a new woman every five! Although I admire her for her talent and good works I just can't agree with her on the bodywork. What' s wrong with aging naturally? She could have been a greater role model if she had said "No, thanks--I'll keep what I have--wrinkles and all." I totally understand wanting to look your best but not with injections and surgery.
How about you? Would you consider having some work done to look younger? Let us know what you think.

I Believe in You

Charlon Bobo writes a weekly email newsletter that I subscribe to. (editproofcopy.com) This week her message was about encouraging others. She reminded me of the responsibility each of us has to encourage, enliven and support others. We are not intended to work alone. We need each other.

Charlon says to never underestimate the power of these words: "I believe in you." They might improve someone's day or inspire them to new heights. They are a gift. And who knows the full range of positive potential impacts?

She says it costs nothing and feels great. So think of someone right now who could use your words of encouragement and send these words to them. You never know how you might make someone's day!

You can also make someone's day by giving them one of Gathered From The Garden's wonderful Goat Milk and Honey Lotions. Check out our website: gatheredfromthegardenllc.4t.com
