About Me

Join my mailing list:
..Hello, dear Soul, Thank-you so much for coming by my page. It's lovely to have you. I hope you enjoy my tunes!If you want to know the technical stuff about me and my singing/songwriting, you can read my bio blog, or visit my website at Rachelgriffin.com .A little more random stuff about me: I'm madly in love with my piano. Hearing a good song makes my whole being smile. I close my eyes a lot when I sing and get lost or should I say found. I songwrite about everything from a crush on my doctor to my junk in the trunk to falling in love again and again. I feel that I can most adequately express myself in a song. I songwrite constantly. I feel very, very deeply. I am filled to the brim with love. I even love strangers... so yes, I love you, I do. I am wicked silly. I am wicked passionate. I think about God everyday. My spirituality is the most important thing in my life. I love to paint. I love coffee so much that I've turned into it. Yes, I'm warm and creamy and sugary and strong. You should take a big sip of me. I write lots of poetry. If you met me you might ask, "Were you born with two right brains and no left?" I'm such a right brainer. My left brain is on vacation permanently. I only miss it a little. I'm trying to live in the present moment. I'm trying to meet myself and others with compassion. I'm trying to have love be my answer to every question.. to every thought.. to every person.. I want my life to be about helping others. My Soul is telling me that if it is than I will be happy. I believe Her.Ok, well, I hope you have a day that is beautiful and you remember that even though it might not feel like it, there is never a second that goes by that you are not Loved. I truly believe that.Also, thanks for supporting my music! I would love to be your myspace friend and please share my page and tunes with anyone you think may enjoy them!
