Since this is a relatively new blog for me, I have never written about a movement or phenomenon that I feel really connected to. These quotes above are taken from a book called Six-Word Memoirs, which was edited by SMITH magazine who also happened to start this very movement based on Ernest Hemingway's famous, but often overlooked six word story -- For sale: baby shoes, never worn. I think this movement says a lot about how powerful and impactful words can be. With six simple, but carefully chosen words, people can define their lives within the very moment. There are currently three books published and I definately recommend them so go and check them out, or even buy them if this idea intrigues you. Here is a link to the website: www.sixwordmemoirs.com. Check it out and discover the power of words.

that's really cool, sometimes I try to say too much when a few words can get the job done.
