Six Word Memoir

I've been tagged and I am not quite sure whom to tag off too. The tagging may come later.
I was double tagged by Lorri and Michelle.

Here are the rules: 1) Write your own six word memoir
2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want
3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post,
and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4) Tag at least five more blogs with links
5) Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!

I've spent the last day or so going through the old fashioned writing process to come up with this memoir.
Here is my brainstorm:

Guided, guiding, living, giving, loving, serving, light, strength, path, rooted in God, friends, mission, adventure, challenge, competitive, family, footsteps, Paul, Michael, Annika, unbound, forward, motion, molding, shaping, touching, compassion, entwined, precedent...

I put some together into phrases.

Guided and guiding, light in darkness, molding lives, shaping minds, guided by light, live to love, unbound by life...

Tis difficult to put one's life into six little words. Should it sum things up, should it be a mission statement? Should it say where I've been, where I am going or where I am? Tough to say.

Here goes, it's hard to let go....

Entwined yet unbound; guider, shaper, lover.

Grace and Peace to you.

Yep, that works. It is hard to be concise, I tend to use too many words.

See you soon,
Lorri

Ah Jenny, that is beautiful, and so you. Wonderful!

Yes, very beautiful. I think you got it right. If there can be a right, or wrong that is. Way to go on the pre-writing as well ;)

That was excellence in brevity. Sometimes more can be expressed by fewer words, like a smile from a child, or a hug from a friend.

Excellent, Jenny...well said...well considered. I like your mind-sweep to find the words, too!!
