H.M. offered this 6 Word Memoir Meme to his readers: try to write your whole life story in just six words. I am doing a slight variation, in that trying to encompass the whole of my life so succinctly feels overwhelming.

I'd love to hear your own six word memoir which you can leave in the comments, on your own blog, or email me a note. I love getting your messages, especially from readers who follow along here silently. Take this as an opportunity and invitation to introduce yourself.

phoenix rising, fire gives birth again….
For much of my life it was:
proving I am not a mistake.

believing I was not a mistake.
