Holy moly out of controlly (yeah, totally stealing Lindsey's saying), I was so excited for the number of people who signed up for this challenge and/or posted yesterday. You guys are awesome, plus it's been fun reading your facts! Hopefully you're meeting new bloggers in the process! So now it's time for the second day of the challenge:
[Day 2]: Write a [few] six word memoir[s]
I am only going to write one, although I've been thinking about this for a while. The idea was suggested by Colette, so I'm going to let her describe it:
"Six word memoirs are exactly how it sounds: your life in six words. The history behind it is that Ernest Hemingway was asked to write a complete short story in as few words as possible. His response was, 'For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.' This then errupted into a way to tell sad, sweet, honest tales. Some examples from the book Not Quite What I Was Planning:
'The miserable childhood leads to royalties.' -Frank McCourt
'I've done it all except hear.' -Mrlee Matlin"
It may take a little while to develop, but write your own six word memoir. Here's mine, which is especially true after Chelsea's passing last week:
Life of loss, yet still loving.
I feel like I've lost two very important people to me, and yet I'm still living, loving, and remaining strong in their memories. I probably would have had a different memoir two weeks ago, but I think this one is perfect for today.
So what's yours? Can't wait to read it. Link up your six word memoir here (and yes, link up each day! The first was just a sign-up for fun!):

That's beautiful- simple and poignant.
Your memoir says so much in those six words, absolutely breath taking.
Thank you for sharing!
I think I was on the wrong track but I've done it anyway.
Definitely a perfect memoir! And p.s. you're so creative to have come up with this idea, wouldn't have even thought about something like this!
Love yours! This is hard!
I love yours Sar! Very perfect
Such a great six words for you, friend. Would you believe I almost wrote mine as, She loved, she lost, yet loved? I changed my mind last minute!
I love your new look! Or "new" maybe? Haha, I've been really disconnected from blogland lately.
I think you should make me a cute blog background stylio thing and teach me how to work it. Deal? I'll pay.
I love the last one. I can totally relate!
I will attempt this challenge so I can tell my students I responded to prompts this summer. I may break some of the rules, but it's my summer break; don't grade me! :)
This is beautiful.
I love that, very thought-provoking and obvious deep meaning behind it. Thanks for sharing!!
Sar! I had no idea but we are from the same town. I am sorry for your loss, I didn't know Chelsea but a lot of my friends knew her.
I love your six-word memoir. And the fact that you're a half-glass full type of girl, it's so appropriate!
