a circle, a triangle, an irregular 6 pointed star and 9 numbers: What is the Enneagram? (part two)

Enneagram
What is the Enneagram?  Like I said last week, the Enneagram is a system for profound awareness and awakening. But here’s what I didn’t say.

Rewind eight years ago.  I am twenty years old. My soon-to-be-husband asked me if I needed time to explore my sexuality. It was one of the most ridiculous questions I had ever heard.  Sure, I found women attractive and a lot of fun to drunk-kiss on the dancefloor.  But to have an ‘actual’ relationship…to raise kids with another woman…to be a lesbian…no freakin’ way.  Not possible.
