Dolly Parton's Secret To Staying Young And Energized

As Dolly Parton gears up to celebrate her 75th birthday on January 19, fans are curious about her secret to maintaining such vibrant energy. Beyond eating well and staying physically fit, "She likes to say a positive outlook keeps her young," a close source reveals exclusively to Closer Weekly. What’s more, her 54-year marriage to Carl Dean provides her with a solid foundation. “Carl is quiet,” the insider adds. “He brings balance to the whirlwind of her life.”

A Picture of Love and Partnership

Dolly Parton, the queen of country music, has a knack for finding joy in the simplest moments. There she is, nestled comfortably on her bed, surrounded by soft ivory pillows, wearing her favorite sky-blue pajamas. She's reading stories to children in her heartwarming YouTube series, "Good Night With Dolly." It’s a project that brings her immense happiness and offers comfort to families everywhere.

“I adore kids, and when the pandemic hit, and everyone was stuck at home, I thought, what a great way to read to them," Dolly explains. "It might even give their parents a little break. They can sip their coffee while I entertain the kids!" It’s this kind of thoughtful gesture that makes Dolly such a beloved figure.

Spreading Joy Amidst the Chaos

Dolly, now 74, has always been one to take action, even in tough times. The iconic country superstar recently donated $1 million to a COVID-19 research fund, sent out books through her Imagination Library project, which has already placed 142 million books in the hands of children, and penned a heartfelt song, “When Life Is Good Again,” about finding hope in the darkest days. Her Brentwood, Tennessee-based life remains as vibrant as ever.

“When all this hit and we were all holed up in our homes, I thought, I’m not going to sit around and be afraid,” Dolly says. “It’s not a panicdemic; it’s a pandemic. So I just started being creative and doing what I do best.” Her resilience and determination shine through in every project she touches.

The Power of Faith and Hard Work

Dolly’s success can be traced back to her unwavering trust in her heart and her sharp intellect. “I’ve always had a lot of faith. My mom was very strong in her beliefs, and my grandpa was a preacher, so I picked up some great lessons from the Bible like, ‘through God all things are possible,’” Dolly shares. “I just stay strong in my faith and in my work ethic.”
