Your Life Today in 25 Words

Posted July 19th, 2008 by Vicky H in Communication, Fun Stuff, Organization

Recently, I found out about a writing challenge from some friends to effectively capture feelings at a moment in time in 25 words. In essence, I could go back 3 months from now and read the 25 word post below and say ‘That’s what I was thinking about on July 19th’.

Earlier today, I added my 25 words at a friends website Productivity in Context. Here is my poetic contribution of what was on my mind today.

Still workin’ on my 25 words but I’ve seen some excellent posts on the challenge all around the web! It’s easy to say anything in 25 words…but add meaning to them and it gets a little more difficult.

You packed a whole world of meaning into those 25 words.

Remarkable Parents is developing into one of my favorite blogs. This post topic is a great example of why.

Unfortunately, I won’t be becoming a parent after all but I will continue coming to your site simply because I think there’s a great deal of value here. Excellent job!

Sorry about the bold text, but I like it and I think it adds something. Kinda like your 25 words.

Posting my 25 words here because I just discovered that Liz’s deadline was yesterday.

Today I remember that surrender is the key to writing and life: trusting that all is in divine order in every moment, in every breath.

P.S. I’ve also sort of extended/amended Liz’s project at http://markdavidgerson.blogspot.com/2008/07/25-words-of-living.html

Vicky, You are an incredible writer. Your style resonates with me. Your 25 Words motivated me to give it a try.

Marriage is overrated.
Marriage is forced by a society obsessed with conformity.
Live up to society standards or be shunned.
Not everyone is for marriage.
