Thanks a lot 2020. Just noticed the "Circle of Sadness" looks a lot like the social distancing at parks... . . . #socialdistancing #socialdistancing2020 #insideoutmovie #2020 #parks #corona #coronavirus #pandemic #pandemic2020 #2020memes #coronamemes #memes #memes😂 #memesdaily https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiUUGJh_OW/?igshid=1hab1a3kzthta

Kids' Review Books - Spoiler Alert Edition 🚨 On the way home from Half Priced Books both kids "read" their books and had this to say: Wings of Fire Book 2: "Don't worry, Mom, I just checked. No dragons die in the end. We can go ahead and read." How to Catch a Unicorn: "We need to take this back right now!! They do not catch the 🦄 in the end!! How am I supposed to know what to do now?!!!" Buttercup was highly disappointed. Squirt was super happy. Ah, parenting at it's finest....❤️😄 #goodreads #summerreading #lastdaysofsummer #halfpricebooks #spoiler #spoileralert #kids #kidsreading #unicorns🦄 #unicorns #dragon #dragons #bookstagram #books #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #booksofinstagram #parent #parenting #parentinglife #momlife #momlife❤️ #momliferocks #adoptionofhope #adoption #adoptionstories #adoptivemom https://www.instagram.com/p/CETxbbgB0oM/?igshid=1bz0cwehnssxg

4 weeks into the Enneagram. Here's what I'm learning: Tests can mistype you so you should take them like you're in your early twenties at the point of your highest ego. I was mistyped as a 9 a year ago and I never followed up because it wasn't truly me but who I wanted to be and knew I could never live up to it. This is building a deeper relationship with my husband. 💖 Knowing his number and him knowing his number is deepening communication. . Because of the trauma in my kids lives I see where their type 2 and 4 motivation and personality protected and supported them. . My goal is to learn how the Enneagram and PTSD dance a delicate balance in a person's life. . Knowing every person sees life different in a special Enneagram way makes me want to love deeper, speak kinder and act more graciously. . I wish I had known about the Enneagram while my dad was alive. I think we would have a had a better relationship. . . #enneagram1 #enneagram #wife #wifelife #marriage #enneagramtypes #adoptionrocks #adoptionofhope #adoptiveparents #adoptionjourney #adoption #mom #momlife #love #lovethem #lovewins #reactiveattachmentdisorder #ptsdawareness #ptsd #newideas #traumainformed #traumaawareness #missedopportunity #dad https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPCaNGhhET/?igshid=1pyc4s4oitfk0

The Type 1️⃣ in me says finish the stripes. The type 4️⃣ in my daughter says it's beautiful the way it is. I agree but I'm still vexed. 😁 I'd also be proud to submit this to the Guggenheim so more people can view her art....and depending on your Enneagram type be vexed or awed too. 😉 . Her creativity is expanding the more we talk about Enneagrams at home. I love learning about my type 4s in The Honest Enneagram by @sarajanecase. It's really providing new ways to connecting with my kids. Thank you @enneagramandcoffee and @sleepingatlast for the soundtrack to unlocking Buttercup's potential. . . #art #artistsoninstagram #chalkart #chalk #kidsart #kidsartwork #kidsartist #artist #artwork #kidart #kidartist #proudmom #proudmomma #Enneagram #Enneagram1 #Enneagram2 #Enneagram3 #Enneagram4 #Enneagram5 #Enneagram6 #Enneagram7 #Enneagram8 #Enneagram9 #enneagramtypes #mindsetiskey #improve #growth #growthmindset #honestenneagram #enneagramandcoffee https://www.instagram.com/p/CEM2g2UBxuR/?igshid=fsojq7uqpw3m

God took bad politics and bad romance and made a great home. . The threshing floor of Araunah - the ending of a plague brought on by David's arrogance - became the site of His Temple and Solomon - the second son of his best friend's wife became the builder. . What was God thinking? 😄 Whatever is was, I'm glad He did it. It shows there's hope for the worst choices and lowest moments we live. . Read about it in II Samuel 24 and I Chronicles 20. . . #thoughts #thoughtfortheday #bible #bibleverses #badromance #badpolitics #politics #homebuilder #home #verseoftheday #temple #godsplan #god #hopeingod #hopeful #hope https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMfkP2hH-5/?igshid=srlyjc2n936k

Listening to amazing songs about the different Enneagram types. 🎶 My heart is expanding with love for my people and potential to love them better. ❣️I can't believe it's only been 4 weeks since I started exploring the Enneagram. It's a bright light on a dark path. . . Thank you @enneagramandcoffee for giving words to what I'm learning. Thank you @sleepingatlast for putting it into song. And @jenhatmaker for putting it together in a podcast.

Perception isn't everything. On first glance, it looks like he had another meltdown. This used to be an everyday part of how Squirt expresses his anger. . But it's been a while and I'm trying hard to consider other possibilities before I act. 🤔 . Good thing I did. . Turns out, Squirt couldn't bear his blankets after the dog farted on them. 😂😂 . . Thanks @enneagramandcoffee for blessing us with #thehonestenneagram book and increasing my well of patience.

My Enneagram type 4 daughter has plans for us to adopt more kids. She found these birds around the house and made little groupings of our family. The first is what she knows we are now. The second picture is how she hopes we'll be one day. I love her optimism, uniqueness and her strong sense of belonging. . .

One of my favorite type 9s just shared some deep news with me. I'm reeling. She is so brave and strong. Inside and out. This repost is for her. Never have such truer words been written. .

Old habits die hard. Whether this verse is an allegory or history is debatable but for me it's life application. . There are some bad habits that should not stick around. Working to develop a spacious, peaceful, quiet place in my thoughts where constraint, impatience and chaos used to live. Yay for the Enneagram! . . #Enneagram #Enneagram1 #Enneagram2 #Enneagram3 #Enneagram4 #Enneagram5 #Enneagram6 #Enneagram7 #Enneagram8 #Enneagram9 #enneagramtypes #selfdevelopment #mindsetiskey #mentalhealth #emotionalwellness #improve #grow #learnsomethingnew #personality #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #growth #growthmindset #lovethem #honestenneagram #enneagramandcoffee #deconstruction #reconstruction #anewday #itsanewday https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyXCFthZ6M/?igshid=eukto7i103ki

I may not end up rolling around in a store window stuffing my face with chocolate but I can totally relate to what happens when you deny rest and pleasure for yourself. Now that I'm learning about being a type One I love this movie even more! 😄 .

It's been 3 years but he's finally done it! Squirt cleaned his room on his own. With (a new diagnosis of) ADHD to go along with his PTSD and RAD, he's struggled to complete tasks. It's taken a new psychiatrist, new meds, and a new way of looking at life built on hard work and awesome therapy. He's a hero. 🦸‍♂️ I'm so proud of how hard he's worked to get to this day. ❤️ . He says he wanted to show off his toys. I say, "I'm just glad to see your floor!" 😄 (Thanks @enneagramandcoffee for your new book The Honest Enneagram. We're learning so so much!) #kidsroom #kidsrooms #kidsroomdecor #kidstyle #kidsinterior #cleanroom #room #adhd #adhdkids #ptsd #traumaawareness #ptsdawareness #trauma #adoption #adoptionstory #reactiveattachmentdisorder #adoptionjourney #adoptionofhope #enneagramandcoffee #enneagram #mindfullness #motivation #fostercare #therapy #emdr https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtcpnAB1i0/?igshid=g2a8yyreva6u

Anthem for life. 'Be strong and fight bravely for my people.' I don't think there's any other way to live. . It's been three weeks since I learned about the Enneagram from the #forthelovepodcast by @jenhatmaker. I've added reading 'The Honest Enneagram' and many great Instagram Enneagram accounts including @enneagramandcoffee to my knowledge base because this is how bravery and loving my people become action.

There is a creativity in her unparalleled in our home....probably our city. Buttercup is truly the "Meaning Maker" talked about in The Honest Enneagram by Sarajane Case.
