What strikes me most about Dolly Parton is that her generosity wasn’t an afterthought to her success. It was part of who she was. She took something deeply personal—growing up poor and watching her father struggle with reading—and turned it into something that has given millions of children the chance to dream.

Dolly didn’t just talk about giving children opportunities. She put a book in their hands. Every month. Even all the way in .

There is a literacy challenge in Canada that not enough people know about. In 2022, 18% of Canadian 15-year-olds were below the baseline reading proficiency level, compared with 14% in 2018. We can’t assume that because Canada has traditionally been a highly educated country, that literacy will simply take care of itself.

Dolly's Imagination Library takes a different approach. We don’t wait until a child is struggling in Grade 3 or Grade 6. We start at birth. Because you don’t teach a child to love reading by handing them a textbook when they’re seven. You build that relationship much earlier. You want a child to think, “These books are mine. Stories are exciting. Reading is fun.”

She gave us so many songs, so much laughter, and joy, but one of her greatest gifts is this belief that every child deserves the opportunity to imagine a bigger life.
Because literacy isn’t just about being able to read the words on a page. It’s about being able to imagine possibilities. To dream. To see yourself as capable of something more.

There are so many studies about how effective Dolly's program is in every single community it has touched, but it comes down to a community saying to the children: This book is for you. Your imagination matters. Your future matters.

Thank you, Dolly! And thank you to those who have donated to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Guelph affiliate. $45 brings amazing books to one child for a year. I'll put a link in the comments to the CBC article and how to donate.

Knock Your Socks Off High-Protein, Low-Calorie Chicken 💪

Soooo delicious! And honestly, recipes like this have become an important part of how I’m fighting back against the changes that came with menopause.

Menopause slowed my metabolism, and I’ve had to rethink how I eat and move. More protein, strength training, and making proper sleep a priority are helping me turn things around. I’m feeling better, stronger, and more energized—and this recipe is one of my favourites!

Blend creamy cottage cheese with savory basil pesto to create a rich, high-protein sauce, then toss it with roasted chicken tenders and blistered cherry tomatoes. It’s quick, delicious, and packed with 40+ grams of protein per serving.

I was a strict vegetarian for 15 years and still eat mostly vegetarian foods, but after a bad accident with multiple fractures I started to add some chicken and fish. You could make this recipe vegetarian by using chick peas instead of chicken.

Makes 4 servings.
