Type One Transformations

Listening to: "Raindrop Prelude Op.28 No.15" - Frederic Chopin

Okay. Since Thanksgiving, Saa gave me this wonderful sheet of resolutions (so to speak) for eneagram types. Initially, looking at this after figuring out my type made me cringe like no tomorrow, and while I glanced at it every so often, I didn't try to adhere to it. SO NOW! Since blogs are helpful for referencing, I'll type them out for mine. I am... type one. Hehe. Not entirely, but very strongly anyway.

So I will work on that list, one bullet at a time. Next post, I'll start with #1!!! People, if you catch me not following this list of transformations, notify me if you so please. Onegaishimasu!!!!
