This challenge from Beyond Layers with Kim Klassen, has thrown a spanner in the works so to speak. Once you start creating and the imagination flows freely, six little memoirs are a delight to write. Stemming from a flow of inspirational articles (Oprah magazine): 26 ways to tell your story and sites(Smith Magazine): 6 word memoirs , our challenge was to write our own 6 word memoirs…our life in six words…you can write, rewrite and express yourself as many times as you like…just in six little words.
Believe me, when you start this exercise you can capture every aspect of your life in six little memoirs from love, happiness, breakup, food, being a mum, a dad, dreaming…
It’s hard to stop at one….I wrote a few and capture one in this photo
Balance everything. Weigh only the love.
And a couple more….
Creative hands and my heart open.
Coloured pens drawing black and white
Can’t start my day without coffee.
Ok, enough….I think you get the gist of what the challenge was about…
You might like to take on the challenge yourself and see what creative lines flow…be sure to check out the original site where the 6 word memoirs started,you might like to write your own and add yours here

love the textures! I thought it was hard to start the lesson at first but then I went nuts and came up with about 25. It was really a fun exercise.
Wow, what an awesome exercise Yvette, I do love your “Balance Everything. Weigh only love.”

What fun, I think 6 words is definitely a challenge, I’ll be thinking hard about this one! I just love what you did with your photo 🙂
Can’t start my day without coffee applies to me in abundance 🙂
That is a challenging exercise, Yvette, and your reply is a very good one. I’ll have to give this one some thought.
Love, love your photograph (as usual!). Oh, yes I like your first one too..Balance everything…
Did you ever think of sending in your photos to a book publisher for book covers? Why do I keep ‘bugging’ you about that?
I hope your day is totally delightful!!
