🌸 Hello, September! 🌸

As we welcome a new month, take a moment to notice the beauty that surrounds us in our gardens, our community, and in the friendships we share.

As Iris Murdoch beautifully said:

“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”

Here’s to a September filled with friendship, service, beautiful moments, and plenty of reasons to be mad with joy! 🌷🌼

🦋 Remembering Dolly Parton 🦋

Today, we remember Dolly Parton and celebrate the incredible example she set as a woman, philanthropist, and champion for children. 🌸🦋

📚 In 1995, Dolly founded the Imagination Library, inspired by her father, who was unable to read or write. What began as a program providing free books to children in her home county grew into a worldwide effort, putting millions of books into the hands of children and helping inspire a lifelong love of reading. 📖🦋

Dolly showed us the difference one woman can make through compassion, generosity, and a commitment to helping others. 🦋

May her legacy of kindness, learning, and giving continue to inspire generations to come. 🕊️🦋 Our thoughts are with her family, loved ones, and all those whose lives she touched. 💐
