Fearless is a fitting description for Olivia Newton-John, especially during an off-road tour of her California ranch with “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King, to visit her miniature horses, Harry and Winston. The horses ease her mind, just as the marijuana buds growing in cups nearby ease something else. The pain, she said, is really bad: “Crying kind of pain.”
The pain can be unbearable, but the spirit remains unshakable, as the English-Australian superstar battles breast cancer for a third time.
King asked, “How do you stay in the moment and stay present and not let it consume you and worry you?”
“Denial is really good!” Newton-John laughed. “It’s really healthy! But it was consuming my day. And after a time, I went, ‘You know what? I don’t know what my time is, but I need to enjoy my life. So, I’m going to eat a cookie if I want it. And I’m gonna have a cup of tea if I want it. And if I wanna have a little bit of wine, I’m gonna do that.’ Because the joy of life and everyday living has to be a part of that healing process as well.” (CBS News)
