It All Changed In An Instant

It All Changed In An Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs is an eclectic collection of life stories which are at once, both monumental and miniscule. They are funny, bittersweet, witty, touching, wild, loving, tender, tragic; but more importantly, they all offer a telling peek at humanity. A few of my favourites..

Love at first sight. Needed glasses. - Susan Holcombe


On marriage:

Bachelor Party. YouTube video. Wedding cancelled. - Daniel Little


On living your life:

Turned lemons into lemonade. Added vodka. - Leah Noble Davidson

Lived a dream riding a skateboard. - Tony Hawk


On looking back:

Aimed for moon. Lost in space. - Anthony Grant Gordon

On life's surprises:

On life's frustrations:
