Olivia was my childhood idol. I loved her so much, I believe I literally manifested her into my life. First... I rang her doorbell when I was 8 yrs old and a nice man told me she wasn’t home because “she was touring in Australia.” I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous as the moment I got out of the rental car and walked up to her gate. I was visiting California with my family and by chance learned where she lived. After 3 days of begging my parents, they drove me to her house. Fast forward 10 years later.. I’m competing in a lip sync contest at Clearwater High as Olivia singing “Summer Nights.” Fast forward 19 years later... Olivia agrees to sing at my wedding. She surprises everyone including my husband and sang “Hopelessly Devoted.” Jesse was so shocked he kept saying, “sweetie our wedding singer looks just like Olivia Newton John” and I said, “THAT IS OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN!” Fast forward another 10 years Olivia comes to @Spanx and I interview her for our Speaker Series. This is where we become friends. (She really had no choice:-) From talking to her endlessly on my album covers in my bedroom in the 70s and sharing my dreams with her, it truly was a dream come true to talk to her in person. Fast forward.. she puts her famous Grease pants up for auction and I won them! Ok... I didn’t win, I paid the most but I had to because dreams do come true. They are now framed hanging on the wall at Spanx. RIP sweet Olivia. You made the world so much better with your love, light, and magical voice... especially mine. ❤️ #Rip #OliviaNewtonJohn #DreamsDoComeTrue #WeHaveToBelieve #WeAreMagic
