You have probably already heard of these stories, but I had not. It was fascinating.
The original objective was to tell the story of your life in six words and tens of thousands of people responded. A book was published, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure (Harper, 2008).
There is also a website: Six Word Memoirs
Of course, I had to give it a try for myself.
My life:
Mistakes Made. Lessons Learned. Happy Now.

Happier Than I Have Ever Been.
Loves Husband. Loves Family. Loves Self.
What I am:
Good Wife, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Friend.
Creature of Habit. Obsessive Compulsive. Organizer.
Avid Reader. Hard Worker. Low Maintenance.
I had such fun doing this little exercise in self-examination. I even got out of bed that night to scribble more thoughts.
I challenge you to give it a try and let me know your results!

Massive potential trapped in the basement.
You need to get out of that basement!!!!!
I love it... as I said it is a fascinating idea and I think it would be an excellent self-help in learning more about ourselves, yet getting only to the necessary and important stuff. Great post!
