Episode Description

This short essay about two Dollys is part of my occasional series, Everyday Exuberance.

In this episode, I recall reading a first-person piece written by Dolly Parton for Allure magazine. In the article, Parton fondly remembered her friend and mentor, Chet Atkins, even though she did not take his advice many years ago at the start of her performing career. No matter, Parton is a great success doing things her way, and that's an excellent lesson in being true to oneself.

I also mention the important lessons I learned from another Dolly, my mom, who maintained her quirky sense of humor and kindness toward others no matter what life threw at her.

Great lessons indeed.

To listen to the other exuberance-related episodes in this series, please go to A Happiness Exercise (episode 24), Moving Forward with Grace (32) and A Cheerful Start to Your Day (33).

Miss Lulu Bett by Zona Gale Loyal Books Lulu Bett is a spinster, living at the turn of the 20th century essentially as a servant with her sister Ina and brother-in-law Dwight. She is, uncomplainingly, "the family beast of burden," living in the background and tending to the family's needs. It therefore surprises everyone, Lulu included, when Dwight's visiting brother Ninian proposes to her, and she accepts. The surprise is even greater when Lulu returns home alone from their homeymoon trip, with the news that Ninian was already legally married before he married her. What follows brings Lulu into conflict with the self-satisfied Dwight, forcing her to choose how she defines herself, with unexpected results. This novel is the basis of the 1921 play for which Zona Gale became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama. The original ending of the play, in which Lulu gains freedom by walking away from the security of the family, was considered so controversial that a new ending was written. In this, the book, we see the The Harbor of Doubt by Frank Williams Loyal Books Young Code Schofield had lost his schooner May Schofield in an Atlantic gale a few months ago, and now the townspeople on the small island of Grande Mignon off the coast of New Brunswick were beginning to talk suspiciously of the events surrounding that loss. Insurance investigators have been summoned to investigate, friends are alienating themselves from Code, and he finds himsef challenged by even those he's known and trusted his whole life. Does Code Schofield have anything to prove, and if so, to whom, and why? The Deeper Dig VTDigger From Vermont's only member-supported digital news daily, VTDigger reporters go deep on key stories.
