Description

motivatedolly pulls from Dolly's enormous discography spanning over half a decade, plus her famous one-liners, to help us make it through tough times. Song lyrics include a link to youtube where you can listen to the song for some musical
inspiration. The advanced option includes links to Bedtime with Dolly, a quarantine-era video series of Dolly reading inspirational selections from her Imagination Library. Imagination Library is a charity started by Dolly Parton which sends free,
age-appropriate books to children each month so that "all children [can] grow up in a home full of books." Here's a link to all the research evaluating the impact of her charity.

Remarks

Some quotes do not have citations because the original context of the quote is difficult to find. If any quotes are incorrectly attributed, please contact the author of this package. Please also contact me if you'd like to see any additions!

Acknowledgements

motivatedolly was built upon the ideas and code of several good-humored members of the Stata community, including

motivate, from Kabira Namit, who to the best of my knowledge spearheaded the field of fun stata packages.

demotivate, by Kevin Denny, who provided "a much needed antithesis to Kabira Namit’s motivate package".
