Kindness matters. Love always. Have faith.

Based on my life experiences and some hard-earned lessons, now at age 65 I'd say these words sum up my life and how I try to live. Great writing exercise!

I will have to try this again. I was thinking in terms of individual words and not phrases.

No, that is totally fine. I said individual words are okay! Good job!

Love this exercise! I gave myself ten minutes but only needed three. Maybe that's because it took me 55 years to finally understand this and act upon it:

Free. Honor self. Space. Peace. Create.
