I just finished reading Tony Danza’s book about his first year of teaching high school and one of the assignments he was advised to give was to write a 6-word memoir. As he thought of one for himself, it made me think of what mine could be. His was, “Once a fighter, now a teacher.”
When I saw this was one of the prompts for Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop, I just had to do it. My 6-word Memoir is “Living for Jesus all my days.”
Here's my husband's: "Boston fan for better or worse." Right now, it's worse: Patriots lost last week, Red Sox had a terrible season, looks like the Bruins won't be playing for awhile with the strike going on.
What’s yours? It’s harder than you may think—try it and leave your 6-word memoir in a comment for us.

I think that is wonderful.
it is hard. I thought that it would be an easy topic :)
Good for you!
I really wanted to do the 6-word memoir...but just couldn't get my brain working. :-) Yours is GREAT!
How wonderful that you feel so very connented to your memoir.
A six word memoir was very interesting for me to think about - I usually tend to use many words.
Very powerful and an admirable goal/life. :)
I love the six word memoir---so packed full of meaning since you have to be picky. I did one last year and another for today. I linked them both on the Writer's Workshop linky (#26 and #27).

I tried to think of a 6 word memoir but it's harder than it seems!
Peace on earth for all eternity.
Have a terrific day Karen. :)
Very Lovely! This is a lot harder than you think.
Love this! I usually use so many words, but I loved trying to choose just 6.
Not an easy task but I like yours!
Stopping by from Mama Kat's!
