My Six Word Stories. What are Yours?

This past Sunday, our interim minister preached a sermon using the concept of Six Word Memoirs, a project originally founded by the online storytelling magazine Smith Magazine several years ago.

Perhaps you’ve heard of it – several major media outlets have covered the idea including NPR, The New York Times, O Magazine, The New Yorker, and there’s been a powerful conversation happening over at The Race Card Project using this kind of creative storytelling.

Scott’s sermon got me thinking about my life and my story. If I were to summarize my 15 years in business in six word stories, what might I say? And if I were to express my gratitude in six word stories, what might I say?

My mission as an entrepreneur…

Inspiring Entrepreneurs. Revitalizing Women. Impacting Legacies.

Gratitude for being a business owner…

A Gratitude Attitude = Happy Business + Life

Here are several more…

So much learning. So little time.

Meaningful work. Inspiring Others. Fulfilling Calling.

Arms wide open. Ready to receive.

Foundational Pillars: Self-care, Spirituality, Community, Celebration.

Conscious, caring community makes it worthwhile.

Hard work + Following bliss = Successful business

Motivated clients. Collaborative partnership. Transformational results.

Coaching, leading, speaking, retreating, writing, learning.

Women entrepreneurs rock, plain and simple.

Spirituality, Relationships, Wellness. Foundation for self-care.

Celebrate Gifts Daily. Abundant Flow Forever.

Inspired action: What do you think? What are your six word stories? About your business, family or life? I’d love to hear. Please share in the comments below.

Here’s to your story!
