“The magic is inside you. There ain’t no crystal ball”
Bonus Dolly
“When I was growing up in the hills of East Tennessee, I knew my dreams would come true. I know there are children in your community with their own dreams. They dream of becoming a doctor or an inventor or a minister. Who knows, maybe there is a little girl whose dream is to be a writer and singer. The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”


Fer shure there ain't no magic except what's inside of you.
"We are stardust." Joni Mitchell
In the category of Don't Judge Books By Their Covers, Dolly is Exhibit A.
