“If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.” — Dolly Parton
Today, we’re remembering Dolly Parton with both sadness and gratitude.
We are saddened by her passing, but deeply inspired by the example she leaves behind. Dolly showed us that success means even more when you use it to lift others up. Her generosity, compassion, and commitment to children, families, education, and community have touched countless lives.
Her words resonate deeply with us at Hope of Mooresville because we see women every day who are paving a new road for themselves and their children.
A new job. A driver's license. A new apartment. A chance to start again.
Sometimes, changing your road takes courage. Sometimes it takes someone walking beside you, helping clear the obstacles and reminding you that a different future is possible.
That is the example Dolly leaves with us: use what you have to help someone else find their way forward.
We hope to carry that example with us at Hope of Mooresville, helping women and children find a new path, one step at a time.
💙 Thank you, Dolly, for showing us what it looks like to pave a road of kindness.
