Your Life Sentence: The Six-Word Memoir
Squidoo‘s Lens of the Day introduced me to Your Life Sentence: 6-Word Memoirs or Quotations. It’s really an amazing way to write your autobiography – and have people want to read it!
Here are some of my faves:
“Revenge is living well, without you.” -Joyce Carol Oates
“Wasn’t born a redhead: fixed that.” -Anonymous
“29 Years Old, Still Playing Lego.” -Summer T
The ones that come from Mrs. Nixon’s Third Graders are also hilarious/awesome/super wise beyond their years:
“Nine years stacked within my soul.” -Laura
“Loud sometimes and quiet at others” -Sarah
“Life is better in soft pajamas.” -Emily
“A kid’s life is my life.” -Kion
“When two lives meet, another begins.” -Andrew
“I tried, I tried, I succeeded.” -Megan
“If life goes bad make it right.” -Megan
I’ve been trying to think of mine, but making it into 6 words is tougher than it looks! Of course, with my wedding 9 days away I want to steal Andrew’s quote: “When two lives meet, another begins.” Dreamy.
But I’d probably be closer to:
“I’m always reaching for the stars.”
“Passion, love and friendship over all.”
“Always following my ever changing bliss.”
I think I might have to pick up the book.

I JUST did, Brenda. I got married on 9/14 so it's been slow going for me. I saw on your lens that your site blew up, and I'm so glad! It was well deserved.
