Have we done this already on this blog? It seemed really familiar when I saw the flyer at the Salt Lake City Public Library this afternoon. But I’m so enchanted with the idea that I’m willing to take the risk of seeming dense and repetitive, and putting it out there again.
The idea is simple: share your personal story in six words. It started as a project by SMITH Magazine, which they have spun into a full-blown book, Not Quite What I Was Planning.
Here are some of my six-word summaries of my life:
Alternately (sometimes simultaneously) frantic and calm.
Cheerful in the face of imperfection.
Always choosing the slowest checkout line.
What’s your story?
Rachel says: This book is excellent! I find the whole idea inspiring: boiling life down to the very essential.
Kristy says: No lightsabers at the dinner table. Only two thousand calories per DAY??! That'll be $4000 in late fees.
Lisa says: Constantly talking to strangers for enlightenment. Thinking about shakes and french fries.
Kacy says: Napping under the covers every day.
