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.
