Have you heard about the Six Word Memoirs? I hadn't either, but apparently Oprah is on to it and as kismet would have it our fearless Beyond Layers class leader, Kim Klassen, happened on to it via Oprah's magazine. How better to dig deep into ourselves than to tell our story in six words?
There are so many facets to each of us that I could sit and write six word memoirs for some time I think. However, I'm going to go with the first path my mind took me for this post.
Just a few more words (lol!)
I remember giggling til I would pee in my pants.
I can still hear that giggle in my head.
It was a beautiful, wild and carefree sound: pure and free of shame or judgment.
That giggle stopped in my teenage years.
I've mourned its loss.
After acceptance and forgiveness, today I laugh with a fresh joy.
