I am…
- According to MBTI, an ISFJ
- Enneagram: almost equally #8 and #4 (UPDATE: after taking the paid test at Ian Morgan Cron, I lean more toward #8)
- On the cusp of Libra and Scorpio—I think I’m Scorpio
- The younger of two children, the youngest of six cousins I knew
- A teacher by trade, a forever student by choice
- Blessed with two stunning sons, my greatest teachers and inspirations
- A lover of animals, kindness, loyalty, depth, connection, space, truth, books, tattoos, yard work, inside jokes, belly laughs, good cries, humility, open communication, transparency, directness, and boundaries (mine and yours)
- Obsessed with getting my hair cut and colored—it may be my hobby
- Mostly pescatarian, though I occasionally eat chicken or turkey (and don’t always feel great about it)
- Divorced—and grateful; finished with loveless, soul-killing relationships
- In a program of spiritual recovery
- Well-traveled
- Half Egyptian
- Officially orphaned
- Estranged from my family
- A loyal friend
- A generous partner
- A good neighbor
- A great employee and support person
- A fierce teller of truth and asker of difficult questions
- Tall and “thinnish”
- Assertive—often perceived as aggressive—working on this
- Courageous and faithful
- Spiritually awakening
- Empathetic and compassionate; I care deeply for others, particularly those in need
- An HSP (highly sensitive person)
- Someone who struggles with sensory integration and feels overwhelmed by nearly all sensory input
- At times socially awkward—and totally okay with it
- Missing my bestie during COVID social distancing
- Considering a writing class; I dream of being gifted in satirical writing—or any writing, on topics beyond struggle and healing
- Grateful that my work and ability to provide for my family have not been diminished by the pandemic
- I am who I say I am. My words, actions, beliefs, and values are aligned—no matter who sees or hears. After decades of dis-integration, I am becoming whole.
UPDATE: So, I splurged on the $60.00 test which designates me an Enneagram 8. Though, most everything about THE 8 revolves around intense fear and avoidance of vulnerability—. I am pretty deep into vulnerability. Shamelessly unafraid. So, the direction and feedback provided with the paid test seems useless to me. I don’t care which number I am, I really just wanted more angles and direction for growth and healing.
