Our nutty notion was this: let’s kick off 2017 on a positive note! So for SixContest #90, we asked for Six-Word Memoirs on how you keep hope alive. You shared advice on staying optimistic (“Each day is a fresh start.” –WouldBeNovelist) and meaningful sources of inspiration (“When chemo works, then there’s HOPE.” –jl333). Some of these encouraging memoirs enjoyed widespread favor (“Hope whispers you’re worthy of success.” –@bookbabie) and many of you found promise in life’s little pleasures (“Hope arrives on little kitty feet.” –nsbpoet). Read these top six memoirs and you won’t stop believin’:
6. “We’ll laugh about this one day.” –Oh_Skinny
5. “People working on global warming solutions.” –JRE23
4. “Keeping glass full. Like bottomless mimosas.” –Susan_Breeden
3. “Transforming America from ‘me’ to ‘we.’” —@taralazar
2. “Hope springs paternal. Love my kids.” —tagishcharley
And the winning entry that is hope materialized…
1. “Teen battling cancer marries his sweetheart.” —Lori_Romero
Congratulations, Lori_Romero, and thanks to all who participated! Whether in our SixContests, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr or at sixwordmemoirs.com—keep on Sixing!
