Dolly Parton Shares Heartwarming 75th Birthday Wish

The "Jolene" and "9 to 5" singer-songwriter followed up with her personal birthday wish: that all her fans do something good in her honor. "Let's call it a call for kindness," Dolly Parton wrote on her website, offering suggestions such as donating to charity, calling an old friend, or adopting a pet from a shelter.  

Parton went on to urge readers to do what it takes to make their dreams come true. "We can't just hope for a brighter day, we have to work for a brighter day," she said. Her message also called for everyone to reach deep within to find the spark of love that still exists even in dark times. "So today, January 19th, let's get to unearthing love. Love is more contagious than a virus, so let your best self shine in a glorious light and others will be inspired by you," she concluded.

Parton posted a portion of her birthday message on her official Twitter and Instagram accounts as well. They drew hundreds of thousands of likes, plus birthday wishes from admirers including Jenna Bush Hager, Roma Downey, Andy Cohen, Angela Kinsey, and the Country Music Association. 

Suppose we all go make Parton's birthday wish come true?
