Hey all you cool cats and type Threes! This one is for you. Type 3 is known as The Achiever. Threes really can and do achieve great things in the world. They are the "stars" of human nature, and people often look up to them because of their graciousness and personal accomplishments. They strive for greatness, but will make sure you are pushing yourself to that same level of greatness. They are your biggest “cheerleaders” when you need one.
Welcome back! If you are here reading this maybe you are an Enneagram TWO or maybe you know one! Actually you probably do know one. I feel like this is the most common type. I know a lot of Twos, in fact, I am a Two myself! Full disclaimer - I shop and dine at every downtown business, so do not take this as me showing favoritism(that was a total Two thing to say). Twos want to be liked and usually fear disappointing others and can be a total “people pleaser” . They are known as the “giver” or the “helper”. They are the type of person that will not forget your birthday, they will shower you with gifts and love and they are the type of person who is going to check on you(maybe too much) when needed! This is a great quality until it comes time to taking care of themselves(work in progress).
Retail for a TWO: Wrapsody - Ok, this is obvious! As a Two, I love getting gifts for people. If money wasn’t an issue, I would spoil my loved ones crazy! Giving brings a Two joy! Also, Wrapsody has super nice and friendly staff members. Twos appreciate kindness and people who are helpful. Even if you aren’t there to buy a gift, I bet you will walk out with something.
Restaurant for a TWO: Irritable Bao - I would put money on the fact that the owner(Whitley) is a Two. Also, if you have ever been to the Irritable Bao, I bet you met Whitley, had a great experience, and left there feeling like you were part of some special family. Remember, a TWO likes to please people, but they also like other people who are equally as giving. Irritable Bao is not only a great place to eat, but 100% of the proceeds of merchandise sales and tips, and a portion (10% if not more) of their food sales goes to serve children in communities in Manila, Philippines, and Cambodia AND they give back to to single parents right here in our community.
Bonus for a TWO: Create-a-Spa - So, Twos do not usually take the time for self-care. They are too busy caring for others to even think about it. As a two, I sometimes feel guilty about spending time and money on myself. So, if you are a Two or know a Two, tell them to go visit Create-a-Spa and treat themselves to a facial or relaxing massage.

Wow, I really feel like this whole Enneagram thing is becoming a new hobby of mine. I might need to add it to my resume. Today, I am going to tell ya a little more about a number that I have had to do extra research on. Maybe it’s because this type is known to be critical or maybe because I can’t relate much. I think I need a little more “one” in me, though.
We are back and back with the Enneagram number 9. Remember, I am no expert! This is just for fun! However, I may be an expert once this series is over. I am really enjoying this.
February is officially here and whether you like it or not, it’s time for all the gushy “love is in the air” quotes. We are here to tell you though that you do not have to have a “plus one” to enjoy Valentine’s Day! Here is a quick round up of some fun events and ideas on how to enjoy the love holiday in the loveliest (downtown) village.
