I love your six word memoir. What a lucky girl you were to have been adopted and given a life of adventure and peace. A beautiful picture to go with a beautiful story!

Oh my, what word choices! Well done to describe a life in only six words! My only objection is that these words do not string into a sentence, and if it's a story you were supposed to write, it's not really a story.

    Thanks a lot, Dawn, and I'm glad you liked it. I see what you're saying, but the example given was not a full sentence, so I felt safe. Ulla xx

I like this because in a limited amount of words I know you had a rough beginning but overcame it and found peace. That is what I think we're all searching for.

You have done a terrific job with this 6 word memoir. I couldn't find anything to add or change in this one..... time for a few dots to meet the site's requirement of 150 character for a review.............................................................. That should be enough,

I like the positive progression of your little memoir. I'm glad to hear you have finally found peace.
I've read a post today that reminded me of you. Another FStorian spoke about finding her biological family.
Thanks for taking part.

I think that explains your life perfectly and all in 6 words! Wow, Ulla, what a topsy-turvy life you've had! But, it's been an adventurous life, and we could all be doing with some of that!! Good luck in the contest, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

    Thanks a lot, Sandra. I'm so glad you liked it. It a new event club, that Maria Jose has just started. To write your life in just six words was quite the challenge. Ulla xxx

Hi Ulla, I have read so much about your life that I know now that it has been very interesting, but I think if I had read your six word memoir, that would've been enough for me to want to read it. So I think this is a great effort. Well done, Giddy

It's an interesting challenge, I think you picked the right six words and got almost everything in there of your life. interesting that you had 1/3 of it about being an orphan, and getting adopted. It's an indication of how traumatic that must have been. it get's more and more peaceful and sublime as you go on. I guess that's how it is with most of us. estory

This work has reached the exceptional level

There is clarity, peace and an all telling hint as to the stuff you are made, that this poem so marvelously conveys. I doubt that I have ever read a similar poem of such few words that say so much. This is really raw from the way I read it, Ulla. However, it's direct or off the cuff and genuine because of this. You are a strong soul and a very gifted one. I bet that you have literally carved out of life so much, on your own. That's very admirable, as are you. Well done. Bruce.
