Honestly, this is very difficult for me. I tend to be a person of often too many words and thoughts that jumble my mind… so this was quite the challenge. I purposely omitted the words wife, mother, friend, and daughter because those words are who I am… they describe me, yes, but they are me… so I thought they were too easy…
I also included the piece of Kandinsky artwork because I always feel like this expresses my personhood. The same but different, different but the same. Always changing… but forever the same. (Ok… enough Ellen.)
The music is a pretty good fit for me too…
My friend Kristyn tagged me to write a 6 word memoir and here it is:
Curious
Purposeful
Quirky
Confident
Independent
Thinker
It’s harder than you think to write 6 words about yourself.
I am supposed to tag five people, but honestly, I think I only have a few people on my blogroll… we’ll see if these people are reading my blog.
Bonnie, Kim, Mandy, Cheryl
Just started... THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
Read it! Don't be thrown off by the fact that it's a graphic novel. Read it!
EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY
Have you listened to this? It is incredible... inspiring music... no words... just music. Thanks Jeni...
Great job on the Memoir!! Thanks for playing along! You’re right…it’s much more meaningful when you don’t use common words. I took the easy way out!
jennifer too.
My post is up!
Great words!
Hey Ellen,
I have been reading your blog and have been meaning to post! I love that you have entered the blogging world. I have also been meaning to email you so we can catch up. I was sick all last week after Saige was sick so I think the world stopped and left me behind. I am so glad to be feeling better and to be enjoying this gorgeous weather! I miss you and we need to get together… maybe this summer when you guys are off.
Anyways, love your blog and love the pics of your kiddos - so cute!
ellen!!!!! i’m so excited that you are blogging! i love it when i’m able to keep up with more people this way! your kids are so cute!!
I wrote you a comment, but then it disappeared! User error I am sure! I know myself pretty well, but I don’t know the 6 words yet. I think I need to work on being more positive because when I think about it I focus on what I need to change about me. hmmmm, oh well. Love your blog and of course I love your kiddos. You are like family!
