Enneagram Buddy

For the past few months I have been digging deeper and deeper into a tool called the enneagram. I was introduced many years back but didn’t see its true value until this year when I watched a talk with Richard Rohr on emotional sobriety. This lead me to the book The Road Back to You by Ian Cron and Suzanne Stabile. Podcasts and more reading material kept fueling this journey to better understand myself, expand my compassion for others, and lean into spiritual formation.

The enneagram also kept popping up in conversation. This is how I met Sara. We just feel into enneagram talk and never looked back. Exchanging resources and encouraging each other to take on the tougher challenges, facing things we didn’t want to admit about ourselves. She has been a blessing to have around as I just need to process things externally sometimes.

The time arrived for her to move on from this island and journey to a new one that offers her opportunities to expand her education. She will me missed. As a parting gift I decided to make her a patch with the symbol of the enneagram. My hope is that it will grab someone else’s attention continuing the conversation and taking the journey to a whole new place.
