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
