So there is a web publication called SMITH magazine.  In 2006 the editor (Insprired by Ernest Hemingway’s shortest of short stories) Larry Smith challenged his readers to describe their lives in six words.  The contest was meant to only last a month but to this day readers are still adding their mini-memoirs!

I figured this would be a fun opportunity to get to know some of you better!!  In the comments feel free to add your own 6 word memoir:)  MAKE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR NAME:)  I want to know who wrote what!
Here are a few of examples of what people have written:
Starting with Hemingway- “For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn”
“Might as well eat that cookie”- Paula Deen
“Life gives lemons but no juicer”- Jordan Miller, 22
“Still fit into high school earrings”- Kimberly Kilroy, 55
“Recipe for failure.  Changed my ingredients”- Antonee Boykin, 30
“Sorry I’m not married yet, Mom”- Julie Blattberg, 42
“Loving heart for sale, Like new” Rosanne Carey, 55
“Former doc now wears art smock”- Amy Harrison, 35 
How cool, right??!!

IF YOU HAVE EMAILED ME I WILL REPOST IN THE COMMENTS SO EVERYONE CAN READ IT:)

  12. Just relax man, it's only life! –Connie, 21 (I'll be damned if I put my real age, Ha!)

  20. "When did my life fly by!?!?"- Sara V, 48

    (Hope you don't mind I posted it here Sara:) Thought it was better than just me reading it on email:) I'll take it down if you object)

  43. You may already know of this book, but a friend of mine has recently written about her experience with her own autistic son in "The Anti-Romantic Child", –("A Story of Unexpected Joy"). Of course I don't know your story, but hers is a beautiful one that might be similar to yours as well. It would be an honor to be a liaison to two kindred spirits… –With Love.
