I went to see my lovely artist friend Sandra Turnbull last week. She had an open house at her North London studio and it was, as usual, an inspiration to see her and her work. One of my favourite pieces, tucked away in a corner of her workshop was this: My Story in 6 Words.
Ever since, I have been trying to come up with mine. I finally got it this morning: Fear, Sorrow, Music, Motherhood, Books, Magic.
It’s harder than you’d think to do it! If you send me yours, use the hashtag #6WORDS and I’ll add my favourites to this page with a link to your blog. The #6WORDS can be in any format: Photos, Instagrams, Tweets, Facebook messages, comments… etc. I’ve shown you mine, I’d love to see yours:)
**UPDATE**
Your life stories in #6WORDS have been rolling in… some of my faves so far include:
This from @mumoldersingle LOVE. JOY. SORROW. TRUTH. TRUST. SPACE.
From @coffeecampari LONDON. ITALY. ANXIETY. LOVE. MOTHERHOOD. KARAOKE.
@katetakes5 made me laugh with SEND. HELP. DROWNING. IN. ODD. SOCKS.
@dorkymum has me intrigued with ISLAND. ESCAPE. BOOKS. POLITICS. LOVE. LAUGHTER.
Having had a good ol’ life chat with her a couple of days ago, I’m really feeling the one from @oldermum: TRAUMA. VINYL. ECSTASY. PSYCHE. FEMININE. WORDS.
Also love WINE. WHINE. SLEEP. MUNDANE. JOY. SHINE. from @actuallymummy although how a loquacious schoolgirl got hold of booze, I don’t know.
I love them all… please keep them coming and I’ll add as many as I can X
