In Six Words


Every so often I get a catalog from Title Nine, a women's clothing store that celebrates health and fitness and sells clothes for active women. Other than the cute bikinis, I love the commentary for the description of clothing, like "terminate the tug...no tugging on the tops to make sure everything is 'in place'," (nothing like ensuring the girls are "in place" at all times) and second, that the models are not these skinny, anemic dolls you see in other catalogs. Rather, they are real women, with jobs other than being models who are essentially athletes with rockin' bodies. I secretly want to be a Title Nine model.

In the most recent catalog the founder of the company notes how an online magazine asked folks to submit their biography in six words. She added a spin to the challenge by asking readers to find six words to encompass all that fitness is and does for us. This caught my attention, particularly the biography in six words. I've been thinking about it for several days and have found it more difficult than imagined to sum up my life in six words. I've noticed my biography changes depending on my mood, emotions and events in a day. Today my biography would say in six words:

Shy girl collides with outgoing world

What would your biography say in six words? If you want to enter the Title Nine challenge (six words to encompass all that fitness is and does for us) send your six words to missy@titlenine.com and maybe they'll share it on their website.
