Happy May from Enneagram Life!
Do you need a Mother’s Day gift for a mom in your life? Might we recommend one of our mugs or devotionals? We have new stickers and mugs highlighting each number + wing combination in our Etsy store. And all of our devotionals are available wherever you find books. Encouraging growth in book form or appreciating the unique personality of your mom in a mug or sticker could be a beautiful way to celebrate a mama this year.
Have you ever gotten pushback about the origins of the Enneagram? Many of us have experienced resistance from our faith communities because of concerns about the history of the Enneagram. Tyler Zach created a course debunking all the myths about the Enneagram and why we believe it is a tool that does not compromise your faith. Whether you are looking for a fascinating history lesson on the Enneagram or seeking answers to common objections, this course is for you! If this sounds helpful for how you’re using or teaching the Enneagram, you can use the discount code “ELISABETH” for 50% off the price of the history course.
We’re so delighted to welcome Charity as our new 2ish host! As a therapist and self-proclaimed chicken mama, she’s already sharing beautiful things about the struggles and blessings of being a Two. You can come find her full introduction here.
This month, we asked the hosts of our sister pages, “what color are you drawn to & wear most?” We certainly aren’t assuming that everyone of that number will love the same colors, but it felt fun to see the “shades” of each number in the responses.
▪ From Jasmine, our 1ishandiknowit host: I don’t think I could pick a specific color I’m drawn to because I love them all. In fact, I love bright patterns with lots of different colors mixed in. And I like to make sure I don’t wear the same colors too many days in a row. That said, I have a lot of pinks and purples. So maybe I am drawn to them. I like to have color pairs in my outfits, and complementary colors at that. (Once a lighting designer, always one…) - and my favorite colors to combine are purple and yellow. :)
▪ From Charity, our 2ishandiknowit host: My favorite color is grey. Most people are surprised to learn this about me because they think of me as very bright and cheery, but my whole house is grey and I have to really work hard to buy clothes that aren’t grey. As I’ve gotten to know the 2ish community and heard how common it is for us 2’s to crave space and silence after all our helping; to me, grey represents quiet space where I can just be!
▪ From Mariah, our 3ishandiknowit host: I am drawn to bright and bold colors. I love bright pink, yellow and orange. Most of my wardrobe is neutral colors where I can add a pop of color into it. My dream is to find a bright pink blazer that gives off Elle Woods vibes!
▪ From Kristy, our 4ishandiknowit host: I’m drawn to bold deep colors, (okay, anything colorful) BUT I wear the colors that go best with my skin tone!! (I had my colors done yearrrrrs ago) a lot of greens, grays, mauves, different shades of purple. Never orange or tan 👀. I do love black though , even though that is def not in my “summer” color spectrum 😆.
▪ From Krista, our 5ishandiknowit host: Green is my favorite color and I love wearing all colors! Is rainbow a sufficient answer? I love shades of pink and purple. Yellows are so pretty too. I really can’t narrow it down :)
▪ From Kayla, our 6ishandiknowit: Let’s see… I am most drawn to patterns, blues, greens and pinks. I have a lot of blues and florals in my arsenal. I do NOT wear orange or yellow, nor am I drawn to them, but that’s probably because I am consistently asked if I’m feeling okay when I wear that colour 😂
▪ From Nikola, our 7ishandiknowit host: I got my colors done and it’s been so fun to know what colors bring out my skin tone, eyes, and natural glow! I’m an autumn and so I love wearing forest green, mustard & mauve pink! I always get compliments when I dress in my autumn colors which is such a mood booster!
▪ From Danielle, our 8ishandiknowit host: Not to be super 8 about it, but black. Always black. Black shirts, black shoes, black accessories, all of the black. It goes with everything, I’m never bored of it, and sometimes I feel like when my big personality enters a room, we don’t need it to also be wearing BRIGHT LOUD COLOURS hahaha.
▪ From Alison, our 9ishandiknowit host: I’m realizing I’m drawn to nature colors: blues and greens and yellows the most. Right now I feel especially drawn to yellow and find myself wearing a lot of mustard or sunshine hues. It feels happy and I love how my body feels & the joy it brings to wear it.
Warmly,
Alison
