A New Book I’m Reading – The Story of You
I think empathy is one of the great super powers for being human. The more empathy we can have for ourselves and others, the more powerfully we can truly connect. Unfortunately, we all often live from a lesser story we were designed for. In his newest book, Ian Morgan Cron helps us identify the story we’re living from and how to re-write our stories.
From Amazon:
In this powerful, transformative guide, Ian Morgan Cron demonstrates the life-changing power of the Enneagram. Cron challenges you to rethink the stale stories you tell yourself about who you are and offers lessons in using the Enneagram to help you change your story. As you free your mind from the outdated messages you learned in childhood and master your Enneagram profile, you unlock your own inner power for spiritual growth—and, ultimately, for becoming the true self God meant for you to be.
Drawing on his extensive counseling and personal experience, Cron examines each of the nine personality types and explains step by step how each can find happiness by understanding their origin story, harnessing your type’s strengths, acknowledging weaknesses, and creating space for an incredible—and more positive—new reality.

Something I Got My Wife – The Handy Heater
My wife is cold all the time so space heaters are her friend. We’ve had several over the years but really like this little Handy Heater. Laura’s parents had one for her to use when we were in Michigan and she loved it. It’s small. It has 3 heat settings and an optional light on top.
A Quote from I’m Thinking About
Buried in the deepest precincts of being I sense there’s a truer, more luminous expression of myself, and that as long as I remain estranged from it I will never feel fully alive or whole.” — Ian Morgan Cron
