I've just received word that Olivia Newton-John has passed away! For a girl who grew up watching Grease over and over, can sing every song from the movie by heart, and aspired ( like we all did) to be Sandy ( although in truth I'm more like Rizzo) I am just heartbroken! Olivia will always be a part of my childhood, a singer who was sweet enough for little girl to emulate, but still beautiful and talented enough to be a genuine inspiration.
I was feeling so nostalgic, and I dove into some of Newton-John's non Grease songs that I have always loved.
I have been struggling lately with many things. Most of all I feel like I just had another birthday and I have SO many goals I want to reach. But after some serious relationships stuff and health issues that have prohibited me from working for awhile, I was feeling a little despondent as of late. Like HOW will I ever do the things I want to do in my life. Some days it just seems impossible that I will ever feel productive again.
I have written many times about signs the lwa show us, and of course about what a huge impact they have had on every area of my life. But this was a big one. And I suppose I have Olivia Newton-John (and Erzulie Freda, whom I serve) to thank for this epiphany.
All in PINK were the lyrics to the Olivia Newton-John song "Magic", which I'll be honest, I never knew. Until today. And I knew.
I know I'm not alone in mourning Olivia Newton-John. A generation of girls turned women were so impacted by her iconic role in Grease. My heart goes out to her loved ones, who I hope know that Olivia and her beautiful voice will never be forgotten.
And for any one of you who have some spellwork out there,or any of us who consistently do services and magical work who might be feeling a little bit meh, a little bit confused, aimless-or even like giving up…these lyrics are for you:
Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
From where I stand, you are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
