"I'm dreaming the hardest."

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0500

"I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night — there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest."
— Marilyn Monroe I think this to myself every single night. There are thousands with the dream, yet few with the drive. "I'm dreaming the hardest," and thats all I can think. I was meant to do this with out a doubt. Its strange to me at times because the only thing I have ever been sure of were my dreams. Ask me if I want a hamburger or hotdog and I will take about five minutes to answer... but I tell ya, when it comes to these dreams of mine, I've never been more sure. It's the craziest feeling waking up every morning with a burning desire to share with the world what God has put in my heart. I just want to give to people, a little sliver of something they don't have, whether it be hope or encouragement, or just a good time. If I could give a little piece of my heart to everyone in the world I would. I'm dreaming the hardest... <3 I love you all! Thank you so so much for your support!

"Let me dream horses that run in the waves..."

If you are reading this blog, you probably already know some general facts about me. I play guitar, perform, sing, and song-write. Even though that is definitely all true, lets face it, there can be a sure heck of a lot more about a person than that! So, without further delay, I would love to share my favorite quote with you! This quote describes the way I think, the way I live, and the way I love, in just a couple of lines..."Let me dream horses that run in the waves, let me dream blue ice in jewel-bedecked caves, let me dream laughing with friends on the beach, let me dream winning points only I can reach.""If dreamless sleep leaves me restless and bare, let me dream cloud dancing with stars in my hair, let me wake slowly with joy in my heart, let joy stay with me and never depart."Perdy ain't it? Just kidding :) I get goose bumps every time I read this, and let me tell you, I read it a lot! This quote in a way, reminds me of a child like mindset, where everything is as simple as the alphabet, and joy is just a lollipop away. When life gets complicated, it's easy to forget to let our hearts do what they were meant to do. And what were they meant to do? Dream. Without dreams there would be no joy, without dreams no one would need perseverance to reach them, and without dreams, life would be "restless and bare." My dream is to perform. When I am on stage, something sparks in me, and my heart is lit up. Performing is my one chance to give others the gift of something they don't already have. Whether it be a smile, song lyric, or joy in my heart, I pray I can pass it along to someone who needs it most. I hope the dream in your heart gives you just as much passion and love for life, as mine does for me. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Love always, Rachel P.S.

My Very First Blog... Here we go!

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0600

My first time blogging. This could be difficult, but how hard could it be? I am naturally gifted at talking anyone's ear off, so I am sure I will be just fine. As I am sitting here is my perfectly pink bed, the only thing I can think of, is my amazement of how time flies. In fact, I just realized that as of February 1st, I have been living here in Nashville for (get ready)... seven whole months! And though I intend on spending countless more years here, it is hard to believe that it has been this long. It is hard to believe my mom has been living away from her husband (my dad) and her son (my brother) for seven months, just to be here for me. It is hard to believe all of the 100's of shows I have already played. It is incredible to think about all of the incredibly talented friends I have already made. So, basically, there is no reason here on earth not to be thankful! In case you haven't heard, I graduated from high school! Yep, crazy as it sounds I am a new graduate! At 17 years old, I cannot believe that high school life is behind me (even though I am incredibly thankful for that fact)! What do I do now? The problem is, there are thousands of options! This means some crucial deciding time is coming soon! Yesterday I filled out countless amounts of Starbucks applications, so as for a job until music pays for itself, or until school rolls around in the fall, I am hoping to spend some hours in a place where I am paid to be around coffee. It doesn't sound half bad does it? Some other adventures that are around the bend thanks to my graduation include working on my EP (3 new songs which will be out by the middle of March), working out with my mama, experimenting in the kitchen (I made BLTs tonight), writing songs, and performing everywhere and anywhere! (If you would like to come watch me, look at my tour schedule!)At this point in my first ever blog, I feel that the only thing to repeat or make sure you take away from reading, is that I am thankful! Thankful for what God has in store for my life, thankful for the people He has blessed in it so far, and thankful for the gifts he has given me, that I will some day get to share with the world. And quite honestly thank YOU, for reading this! Because quick frankly, lets face it, three paragraphs can occasionally be quite the turn off! Come back next week for yet another (and much more captivating) Rachel ramble :) Love always! <3
