Country music legend Dolly Parton, 77, recently revealed she’s retiring from touring but remains committed to creating music. In an interview, she stated, “I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore.” Despite her decision, Parton plans occasional special shows and festivals. The iconic singer, who rose from poverty in the Appalachian Mountains, emphasizes her focus on spending quality time with her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, after 50 years of marriage.
Parton shares insights into her life, revealing how she met Dean outside a laundromat in 1964. The couple married in 1966, celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2016, and recently renewed their vows. Parton expresses the importance of staying close to home as they age.
She also discloses her venture into rock ‘n’ roll, inspired by her husband’s musical taste, and discusses her NBC special, “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic holiday.” Additionally, Parton collaborates with Reese Witherspoon on the film “Run, Rose, Run,” adapted from her novel co-written with James Patterson.
STEVE HARVEY: “The God I Serve Didn’t Bring Me This Far To Leave Me.”
Steve Harvey suffered a major blow to his career when NBC cancelled his chat show “Steve” despite the show’s success and high ratings. Harvey refused to let this break him; he drew strength from his religion and famously said, “The God I serve didn’t bring me this far to leave me.” His strong message about resilience and trusting in a divine plan was his answer to the show’s cancelation.
In an Instagram video that went viral, Harvey expressed his conviction that opportunities always seem to present themselves at the end of the tunnel. Everything that happens, even the cancellation of his show, is a stepping stone on the road to self-improvement, he said.
Realizing that setbacks lead to opportunities for growth, this perspective echoes a more universal belief that trials should fortify rather than weaken one’s faith.
