As I celebrate my 80th birthday, this new version<\/a> is my way of using what I have received to illuminate the future, especially by sharing it with truly incredible women<\/strong>\u00bb, she pointed out.\n\n\n

In October, Parton posted a video on her social media to reassure her followers about her health, after her sister Freida asked for prayers for her.\n\n\u00abI’m not dead yet!\u00bb, she said in the video, in which the composer appeared on a film set. \u00abEveryone thinks I’m sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard!\u00bb, she affirms.\n\n\n

I don’t think God is finished with me, and I’m not finished working,” Parton added.\n\n\n

I feel like I’m just getting started,\u00bb Parton assured, adding that she still has many things to do.\n\n“If you let yourself age, you will age. I say: ‘I don’t have time to age!’. I don’t have time to think about that. That’s not what I’m thinking about,” she stated emphatically.\n\n\n

And I start to think: \u2018How is it possible that I’ve had a life? How have I managed it?\u2019. While writing this book, I realized everything I’ve sacrificed. I never had children, so at least I didn’t feel guilty. I am grateful to have seen my dreams come true,\u201d she reflected in the interview with People.\n\n\n
