Could you write your memoir in 6 words?<\/p>\n

Several years ago I picked up a little book published by Smith Magazine called, \u201cNot Quite What I Was Planning\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 In it people offer their life story in 6 words. My husband and I read it aloud, page by page. We went through a multitude of emotions, one minute we\u2019d be howling with laughter, the next wiping tears from our eyes. The memoirs were open (Followed rules not dreams. Never again), inspired (afraid of everything did it anyway), wise (Outcast. Picked last. Surprised them all), funny (I was born. Some assembly required), thankful (many hands have kept me a float), optimistic (marked time till 55, reborn thereafter), disappointed (forty five never married oh poo), sad (still waiting for you to ask) and everything in between. Wisdom was everywhere and confirmed 6 word life stories could be just as poignant as longer versions.<\/p>\n

That night we each wrote our own 6 word memoirs.<\/p>\n

It was an amazing experience… we noticed our 6 word stories started out funny and went deeper the longer we stayed with it.<\/p>\n

We are continually evolving so the memoir you write today will likely be revised next year, next month…..<\/p>\n

Check out the 6 word memoirs<\/a><\/p>\n

reACTION [to change in the response to stimulus]: Day 9 \u2013 6 words<\/b><\/h2>\n

I told my friend Karen about the 6 word memoirs. On the spot,\u00a0as we\u00a0counted off 6,\u00a0she came up with\u00a0several of her own\u00a0that were very funny!\u00a0Later that night I got a text, she had\u00a0another, this one\u00a0touched her very core.<\/p>\n

Using only 6 words we are able to simplify and articulate the very essence of ourselves.<\/p>\n

Write your 6 word memoir.<\/p>\n
