What do you think of starting the week with a six word summation of your life? The gauntlet was thrown down, the challenge put forth AND this week I have THREE more contributions from my readers!!! YES I am EXCITED!!
I know this sounds like a daunting task; when I first read about it in an AARP magazine, their challenge was a Six Word Memoir – Cheating Death. NOW that’s hard. From there I looked up Larry Smith who is the founder of the Six-Word Memoir Project which led me to: http://www.smithmag.net/ (you will have to cut and paste because for some reason I am not grabbing a live link) and there, is a whole world clever witty memoirs sent in by people all over the world.
So here published for the first time anywhere:
The dog ate my homework – Gail
Memoir? My life isn’t over yet – Dani
There’s a shimmy in my spirit – Cynthia
Many of the readers of this blog know who Dani and Gail are and I think they deserve props for so graciously sending in their thoughts. Cynthia is a SITS-za who happened across my blog through the wonderful bloggy world of SITS-The Secret is in the Sauce. You can read all about this Northern Californian kindred soul who is a photographer and loves to dance, eat chocolate and go to flea markets – YES this is my kindred spirit, you know it. Here is a link to her blog – A Shimmy In My Spirit.
A great and fun way to not only start the week, but also is good “brain aerobics” exercise! If I may, here’s another one for next time:
Peace in our time? Let’s hope.
Bless you my not so secret contributor!!!!
