Welcome to common-woman.
I have long appreciated Dolly Parton. She respects people from all walks of life. She loves and reaches out to help children. Through her creative talents, Dolly works hard to share hope and reassurance with others.
Dolly sees herself as worthy of belonging. She lives her faith, and shares this belonging in ways that help other people.
If you are like me, you might be ready for a little reassurance. Let's learn from Dolly as she gives us some encouragement. Here are 3, Dolly-related gifts: a very special song by Dolly, information about Dolly’s book program for children, and an Instagram post by Dolly.
1) Listen to Dolly Parton's song about her coat of many colors her momma made for her as a child. In it, she describes the wealth she felt as she wore her little coat that her momma made from rags.
2) Generous and kind, Dolly founded a program that provides books for children. Check out Dolly's imagination library at: https://imaginationlibrary.com/

Many thanks to Dolly Parton. She makes this world a better place by sharing her kind heart and inspiration for people everywhere.
Dear friend, it is important to feel a sense of belonging. Know that you are worthy of being loved and valued. Remember that you belong. Each of us. We belong.
For Belonging
May you listen to your longing to be free.
May the frames of your belonging be generous enough for your dreams.
My you arise each day with a voice of blessing whispering in your heart.
May you find a harmony between your soul and your life.
May the sanctuary of your soul never become haunted.
May you know the eternal longing that lives at the heart of time.
May there be kindness in your gaze when you look within.
May you never place walls between the light and yourself.
May you allow the wild beauty of the invisible world to gather you, mind you, and embrace you in belonging.
--John O'Donohue
Have a good week. Be well and stay safe. Be confident in your belonging.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well. Psalm 139-14
