**I tend not to be able to do things in increments — what was meant to be a trim got out of hand**

**A friend once complained — why do you need to put so much cheese on this? Now I avoid cheese**

**The restlessness hit me hard today — Being an enneagram 6 — has put me in some interesting situations**

We have named personality type Six The Loyalist because, of all the personality types, Sixes are the most loyal to their friends and to their beliefs. They will “go down with the ship” and hang on to relationships of all kinds far longer than most other types. Sixes are also loyal to ideas, systems, and beliefs—even to the belief that all ideas or authorities should be questioned or defied. Indeed, not all Sixes go along with the “status quo”: their beliefs may be rebellious and anti-authoritarian, even revolutionary. In any case, they will typically fight for their beliefs more fiercely than they will fight for themselves, and they will defend their community or family more tenaciously than they will defend themselves.

**As the great Pombagira sage once said: It’s not your excuse it’s your challenge**

Much love,
