SMITH magazine asked their readers to try to sum up their life in a single sentence. They received millions of entries....some sad, some funny, but all in only 6 words.
Ernest Hemingway, many years ago, wrote: For sale: baby shoes, never worn
Comedian Stephen Colbert wrote: Well, I thought it was funny
a woman wrote: I still make coffee for two
a teenager wrote: I miss believing in Santa Claus
Last week during our Professional Development Wednesday, a district instructional strategist came and challenged us to do the same thing.
Project Arrow (Gifted) Teacher, Jen Campen wrote two of them:
Compulsive shopper, conquering perfectionism and procrastination
Avid rule follower, secretly seeking spontaneity
Interventionist, Katie K. wrote: So much to be grateful for
A 5th grade teacher wrote: So many hats, none fit perfectly
Me? Well, I was very intrigued by this challenge. Hmmm...my life in 6 words....
Little did I know, it came pretty easy and they just started to roll out. Now, do they describe my whole life? I'm not so sure about that, but each of them resonate with me in a different way.
Always loved being the Teacher's Pet
Will never forget lunch Senior Year
Believer in love at first sight
Blessed by God in many ways
My life is my Baby Girl
Nothing's better than Post-its and Flairs
Strive to be perfect in everything
The darkest moment to brightest light
...and my favorite...
I will blog about this today
Can you pare the story of your life into just 6 words?
If you feel comfortable, write your 6 word memoir as a comment, I'd love to read it!

Oh my gosh! Lizzie and Tara, I'm loving your 6 words! Liz, yours are PERFECT...they are sooo you! You are always the "best dressed girl in the room" and I agree with Tara, I appreciate your "Funny, I thought I was better." I laughed out loud at the one you picked for me.
