Last week I blogged about the Enneagram type 8. I know them best because I am one. This week I’m going to focus on type 9 because they are very near and dear to my heart. I have a son and several close friends that are type 9. If you know a type 9 youContinue reading “The Peacemaker”

Lost as Last Year’s Easter Egg
I shared the behaviors and characteristics regarding my enneagram type 8. “Power” tops the list of characteristics. One of the first behaviors you’ll notice about this type is their power. We tend to believe power is a good thing. Many want it but few don’t understand the extremities of it. From birth, I have believedContinue reading “Lost as Last Year’s Easter Egg”
The Challenger
Those who know me or those who have met me know within minutes that I am fairly independent and assertive. My energy is big and I feel that life works best when you meet it head-on. I’ve told many in leadership positions to take the bull by the horns if they want to be successful.Continue reading “The Challenger”
Who We Are
I posted on Sunday that I graduated from Enneagram school as a certified cohort. Thank you to all who congratulated me and reached out to me. Your kind words and support are embraced. Since Sunday I’ve had a few conversations regarding the Enneagram. Many want to know what it is. The Enneagram dates back toContinue reading “Who We Are”
We Are One Body
Today I graduated from Enneagram school. After 13 years of knowing about the Enneagram, receiving Enneathoughts via email every morning, reading books, attending several Enneagram sessions, and discussing it for over a decade with my shrink, I now have greater respect for it. There were 15 of us in class from all over the world.Continue reading “We Are One Body”
Changing Everything

Believing we have a gift that nobody else has and it’s been given only to us to serve others and for the glory of God is our true essence. Late bloomers still bloom but our processContinue reading “Changing Everything”
People Change Pictures Don’t
When I first started in the automotive business in the early 90s, I sold vehicles in Nashville TN. Across the street from the dealership was a strip club where I sold several vehicles to the dancers. One, in particular, bought several from me. I’ll never forget her. She was stunningly gorgeous. She had real authenticContinue reading “People Change Pictures Don’t”
Thrown Out Like Bubble Gum
I was listening to the great Wayne Dyer the other day. He was telling a story about how he and his brother had been orphaned. His dad was an alcoholic and abandoned them. Wayne spoke of his addiction to drugs and alcohol. He says he went to his father’s grave to piss on it whenContinue reading “Thrown Out Like Bubble Gum”
In Charge to Change
There’s so much value placed on social media. If you want to get a book deal the question comes up, “How many followers and subscribers do you have?” If you want to be monetized for your post, the same question applies. My take on this is I’m staying true to my commitment. I said fromContinue reading “In Charge to Change”
Why We Settle
Recently I was sharing part of my story with an acquaintance. As I spoke of my childhood abandonment, my relationships with narcissists, and my awakening, the new acquaintance looked at me as if they had no idea what I was saying. They finally said, “I had a perfect childhood.” I bought their statement. It’s notContinue reading “Why We Settle”
