Under Renovation







"If you feel shy or awkward in social situations, 
know that many others are probably
feeling the same way too."

Madisyn Taylor





While we are enduring the shedding of old patterns and welcoming the new, people will ask, "So what you are doing?"  This can be very intimidating, especially if it is someone who isn't a kindred spirit.  Besides, as we go through transitions, we don't always understand them ourselves, so it is impossible to explain our movements to others.  It is quite helpful to remember this reply as it is accurate:  "I am under renovation!"  The response is offered without causing ourselves embarrassment or being vulnerable prematurely.

As we evolve, we change both internally and externally.  What once was dominant in our personality may now retreat towards the back. The opposite can happen, an introvert becoming a social butterfly.  We have to trust the process of change and not become frightened by the observations of others.  

There are those we love who do not notice our shift, while others may notice immediately.  Not everyone will be happy with any alteration to who we have been.  For their own security, they want us to stay exactly the same.  "Yes, go ahead and change! Just don't change anything about you and me!"
