One Week Left!

 We just crossed the 13K milestone as we hit exactly SEVEN days until the campaign closes! 

I am so thankful for all of you for joining us and making this project what it is! Your presence here has truly enriched it, and your passion and excitement has brought us this far! Again,

THANK YOU!

Remember, our next stretch goal is at 15K, where we open commissions for custom double exposure landscapes! I also have some other ideas for fun extras we can add on to the end of the campaign if we make it there so let's give this all we've got!

I shared it on social media, but I think it bears repeating here. This project is so unique for me from my past projects. I've seen the impact firsthand that it can have on the community. So many of YOU have entered into hard conversations with me, and proven the good that this work can be. When I see these project totals my brain immediately converts it to how many lives are being touched by it, and how many more could be reached. (Is my One showing? "I want to sing a song worth singing, write an anthem worth repeating..") And your sharing of the project has made this reach possible! My voice is just one in a crowd and y'all have lined up with megaphones, projecting the story further than I ever could, while adding all of your own beautiful voices to the story.

Okay, now that I'm tearing up.

I made these nine images, filled with the painting for their number! If you want to share these with your communities, contact me and I'll be happy to send them to you! 

Thank you for helping this project reach so far! Here is an easy link for you to share:

HALFWAY UPDATE: Demo Video of Card Features + NEW Stretch Goal!
almost 5 years ago – Mon, Jun 10, 2019 at 07:15:23 PM

We just passed the halfway mark on this campaign!

As all of you know by now, this weekend we met and FAR exceeded our 10K stretch goal! This funded the manufacturing of an amazing resource -- a box set of Enneagram reference cards! I've shared some about them, but I figured seeing it for yourself is WAY better. So here is a short video showcasing some of the features of this new reward! 

What you see here:

  • There will be cards with all 27 paintings on the fronts (this sample pack only has the ones that were completed when we ordered it.)
  • The back of each painting will have information on the type, and the metaphors in the painting.
  • There are additional cards with info on the project, how to read the paintings, and basic enneagram info.
  • The titles of the types are on the top of the card, and are color coded for ease in finding a specific type.
  • Flexible, non-tearing, won't crease or fold.
  • Can line up by number, wings, or integration direction.
  • Coffee-safe, washable, waterproof.

Did you miss the info on how to add these to your current reward tier? Click here for that update.

We're only halfway -- now what?

Today officially started phase 2 of the campaign for us. Because we were able to fund these cards, I want to get them into the hands of anyone who might be encouraged by them. We don't know if I will be able to offer them in the future outside of the campaign, so this is the only time to get the word out there. If there are coaches, enneagram enthusiasts, or others you think would appreciate these resources, contact them! Pass this along! This is a project/product that I believe (because I've seen the proof firsthand) will be a catalyst for grace-based and growth-focused transformation in our lives and the lives of those we love. I'm beyond thrilled that so many of you believe in this too! Thank you!

You may have heard murmurs of a NEW stretch goal being announced if we met this one so, drumroll please --

NEXT STRETCH GOAL @ $15,000

If we hit $15,000 before the end of the campaign I will open the option for you to get a CUSTOM DOUBLE-EXPOSURE, with any landscapes you choose! These are surprisingly time-consuming original creations using a digital technique to layer the paintings I created. Each one takes a few hours to perfect -- longer than it takes to paint it in the first place!

Here's a time-lapse of the **first half** of a combination of 1w9 and 7w8:

Why those types? This is where we get into some of the fun of this idea. Here are two of the many implementations of this:

A CUSTOM DOUBLE-EXPOSURE FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP

That's right. I showed a 1w9 and 7w8 in the double-exposure process, because that's what my husband and I are! 

Man, we're so beautiful together!

This project began because I want each of you to be able to see just how beautiful you are. With all of the challenges, fears, and stresses you face, your path is beautiful! Your soul is so unique and vibrant and lovely.

And what an amazing way to carry on this goal -- to show you how beautiful your unique relationship is! It's the combination of two completely different paths. You've chosen to walk this life together, but what exactly does it mean to merge those journeys? You create an entirely new landscape together, pushing through your weaknesses and leaning into each other's strengths. And this is one way to celebrate that!

[The McCords, the founders of Your Enneagram Coach, are coming out with a series of seminars, courses and books called Becoming Us, teaching every combination about their unique marriage "dance" -- which is such a cool way to state it! To learn more, go here.]

A CUSTOM DEPICTION OF YOUR TRI-TYPE

I won't go into this too much, but if you know tri-type theory, and identify better with your tri-type,  you could use this to get your own custom inner landscape depicted! For example, a 1-3-5:

There are so many different implementations of this concept, and I'm excited to be able to open this opportunity!

Thank you all for your investment and encouragement with this project!

I'm honored and privileged to do this project with and for humans like you!
