Rosemary, your poem is exquisite.

Rising Up With Spring; more or less

by Rosemary Hurwitz

More letting go and letting God – feeling lighter,– less angst
More balance in my giving and receiving,– less false pride and resentment
More connecting with my inner feelings and truth,– less image and role baggage
More and consistent baby steps toward dreams in ordinary ways,– less longing
More heart to heart connections,– less collecting of information
More trust and Buddha belly breathing– less second guessing, doubt and fear
More presence and attention to life unfolding ,– less rushing around, splintering
More vulnerability, patience and love for all,– less Bossy-ness
More self-expression and “dialing my true self up”– less “dialing down” and invisibility

Who You Are Meant to Be is such a thoughtful and encouraging read. Both in her workshops and in her writing, Rosemary Hurwitz does a great job weaving the Enneagram into a practical, personal guide for growth and self-awareness. Her H.O.N.E.S.T. approach is easy to follow and really resonated with me. If you’re looking for a gentle nudge toward understanding yourself better, this book is a great place to start.

I had a very cursory knowledge of the enneagram prior to reading “Who you Are Meant To Be: The Enneagram Effect.” After reading this book, I came away with a much greater depth of knowledge and appreciation for the power inherent in applying eeneagram principles in our lives. The author’s writing style is clear, relaxed and relatable. It’s an easy book to read and yet the material contained in the book is profound. The author’s numerous examples bring the subject matter to life. The book characterizes the nine enneagram types, their strengths and challenges, their area of avoidance, their driving passion, their wellness map and clear strategies that would assist each type in living out their highest potential. The author also describes the potential shadow side that each type possesses when not living authentically. Her explanation of that area helps us embrace self-acceptance and self-forgiveness and very importantly, forgiveness toward others whose behaviors we have judged and condemned. After reading this book, I walked away with a greater depth of empathy and compassion for others. The author explains that through self-awareness and the practice of living out the higher potential of our enneagram types, we gain the benefits of emotional regulation, clarity and self-mastery.

So insightful!!

Rosemary’s insight on the ennegream has been truly transformative—far more than I initially anticipated. It felt like a deep and honest dive into the core of who I am: my emotions, my habits, my thought patterns, and the ways in which I navigate the world around me. It peeled back layers I didn’t even realize I was carrying, and in doing so, allowed me to see myself with a new sense of clarity and compassion.

What’s been most impactful is how it’s shifted my level of awareness—not just about how I feel internally, but how those internal states influence my actions, my reactions, and even the energy I bring into different spaces. I’m beginning to observe my thoughts and behaviors with more curiosity instead of judgment, and that alone has been incredibly liberating.

I’ve found myself becoming more present in my day-to-day life. More intentional with my words.

More attuned to my surroundings and the people I interact with. There’s a newfound sense of stillness and reflection in moments that used to pass by unnoticed.

I am genuinely so grateful for this opportunity to look inward in such an authentic way. It has opened up a new chapter of growth for me—one that feels grounded, self-aware, and more aligned with who I truly want to be. Thank you for helping guide me to this space of understanding. It’s not just been insightful-it’s been deeply meaningful.

This book offers a refreshing and insightful dive into the Enneagram system. Using it as a lens for self-discovery and personal growth, Rosemary provides a clear, accessible guide to understanding the nine personality types, focusing on how this ancient system can illuminate our strengths, challenges, and deeper motivations.

The book stands out for its pragmatic approach, offering actionable tools for applying the Enneagram to enhance relationships, work-life balance, and personal well-being. Rosemary blends theoretical explanations with relatable examples, making it easy for both newcomers and those familiar with the Enneagram to engage with the material.

One of the strengths of this book is the author’s emphasis on growth and transformation. She encourages readers to embrace their authentic selves while recognizing areas for improvement, making the Enneagram not just a tool for understanding but also for personal evolution. Since listening to Rosemary’s teachings and reading her book, I am constantly finding practical applications and learning (aha) moments in my daily life. It has greatly improved my interpersonal communication and the way I understand myself and the people close to me.

Overall, this is an excellent resource for anyone looking to use the Enneagram for self-reflection and growth, offering both wisdom and practical guidance.

I have consulted with Rosemary when going through a big life transition. I was glad I followed my intuition and invested in talking with such an empathetic and knowledgeable woman. Rosemary really helped me see some areas of growth that I overlooked in myself as well as strengths that I should give myself more credit for too. I came out of this mentoring with Rosemary more confident and happy. I highly recommend Rosemary!
