Kelly is easily excitable, a good listener, and excellent encourager. You’ve never had a compliment until you’ve received a Kelly-compliment. She is a graphic designer by day, dog and cat mom by night, and married to Amanda’s brother 100% of the time. She would tell you she can take most things too seriously and allows others actions/words affect her too deeply, but she’s working on it. She says she’s a reserved wallflower in new situations, but learning how to embrace unfamiliar experiences. She says her personality will generally change to mirror whoever she’s around, and that she cries way too easily.
Kelly was introduced to the Enneagram by few friends that got really into the Enneagram when it first became super popular a couple of years ago. “I’ve always been fascinated by personality tests and what they can reveal about us that we may not have realized on our own, so I reached out to them to learn more and ultimately took a test and did some research,” Kelly says. ” I think the most interesting things that I’ve learned about myself is why, as a Peacemaker, I can be so prone to anger (I see you, 1 wing) and how to manage it properly, as well as how to communicate and love my 5w6 husband well.”
With a free day to do whatever she wants (no money/time limit) Kelly has a pretty comfy plan.–She says: A really solid free day for me is sleeping in a little bit, waking up to a clean house, going out with my husband to eat at our favorite local restaurant for brunch, and browsing local shops or a farmers market afterwards. In the evening, if it’s not too humid outside, we’d walk our dogs through the historic district of my city–it’s overgrown with trees, 150 year old homes, is lit with gas lamps, and always smells like Christmas to me. It really just makes me grateful to live where I do. I’d finish up the evening with popcorn and a movie that I’ll probably fall asleep during, and that’s a really lovely day in the books for me.
On an occasion (or two) we’ve shopped our own Christmas Gift Ideas for an Enneagram 9 or Handmade Gifts for an Enneagram 9 gift lists for Kelly.
