I have pain, therefore I am.

What is your six-word memoir?
*LOVE defines me NOT pain etc..* — it was between LOVE and JOY –
this was an excellent post and idea — thank you!
I too have intense Fibromyalgia and CFS and yes, etcetera…
I have just ‘discovered’ you today too — and WOW! i may have just ‘discovered’ you but you have been a *busy* person — esp. with your blog and POSTING so much for so many.
I too have done much research, study, active striving towards health and, i do strive toward ‘healing’ –
have a beautiful day!
Oh man! Now I’m going to be going nuts trying to figure out what’s my 6 word memoir!
All right: ‘The Secret Life of a Muppet’
I know, it totally sounds silly, BUT I gotta tell you, that Memoir is full of all sorts of life!
Mulling around some more….Totally inspired me by the way. The creative juices are flowing
gathered the pieces and found peace.
things shatter with fibromyalgia. life is not as it was, but those little crystal shards from a life in pieces capture light and create a rainbow, a symbol of peace. i live a small life now, but it ever so suits me.
I am glad you discovered me! I meet all the best people through my blog, so welcome, and thanks for sharing.
I like you six-word memoir! You have both love & joy and that is good. I do too. Pain does not define me, but it definitely reminds me I am alive. Plus it gives me something to write about.
Be sure to share when you figure it out! Can’t wait to read it – or “them” if you come up with more than one.
Not silly, but definitely interesting! Seriously wondering how that came to be for you. Intriguing! Glad this inspired you!
Oh, that is lovely! Very visual and hopeful. Thanks for sharing. I love that you describe even the shards of your life as crystal – even the pieces are beautiful and reflective.
