Love from your friendly porcupine

Let your dominant intent be to feel good which means be playful, have fun, laugh often, look for reasons to appreciate and practice the art of appreciation. And as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that your life just gets better and better and better. ~Abraham-Hicks

Happy Friday folks! I have been working hard at accepting parts of myself that make me uncomfortable. You know those little things that make us feel unlovable and inferior?

Mine is my ability to rebuild, what is yours?

We all need to be reminded now and then that it is perfectly acceptable to allow ourselves to truly feel our raw emotions. Don't sugar coat them, feel them, accept them and let it go. It is the breaking and rebuilding, the falling apart and coming together once again that makes us strong. Being our authentic selves is difficult in a world full of posers. Yet the authentic self is the one that others fall in love with.

With all of my love

The Lion is here with a little goodnight message.

You are not too much, you have never been too much and you will NEVER be too much. Some of us are constantly evolving into better beings. We are ALWAYS trying to work out our own issues and helping others to do the same.

When someone tells you that you are too much, don't listen to them. Throw those words straight into the garbage 🗑 where they belong.

You came here with a purpose. Keep following your bliss and working out those traumas. Just keep going babe. I know it's hard, and heartbreaking to have to let go. Those things and people are just holding you back from your full potential.

You came here to rise like a Phoenix. With grit and perseverance; you will do just that. Some are afraid of your brilliant light, those are not your people. Your people will constantly celebrate you. They will applaud your success and help you pick yourself back up time and time again.

Just keep going babe, you've got this!!!

With all of my love,
🦁

Hi all!!! Porcupine here... sending love...
A beautiful soul sister shared this....couldn't have seen this at a better time...remember...damaged is ok...we are ok..we will be ok...we can re-train the brain.. we can heal...we can love..and we can be accepting of that love..there is ALWAYS hope!!.... just be patient with us...know our pains...support us..and help us through..we can't do this alone.. but listen ladies.....we are worthy and beautiful...we just got damaged along the way.... miracles...blessings and healing happens...EVERYDAY!!❤

Sis, the inability to receive support from others is a trauma response.

Your “I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it all myself” conditioning is a survival tactic. You needed it to shield your tender heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you.

From the parent who was absent by choice or by the circumstance of working three jobs to feed and house you.

From the lovers who offered sexual intimacy but no offered no safe haven that honored your heart.

From the friendships that always took more than they gave.

From all the situations when someone told you “we’re in this together” then abandoned you, leaving you to pick up the pieces when isht got real, leaving you to handle your part and their part, too.

From the lies. The betrayals.

You learned along the way that you just couldn’t really trust people. Or that you could trust people, but only up to a certain point.

Ultra-independence is a *trust issue.*

You learned: if I don’t put myself in a situation where I rely on someone, I won’t have to be disappointed when they don’t show up for me, or when they drop the ball... because they will always drop the ball sooner or later, right?

You may even have been intentionally taught this protection strategy by generations of hurt women who came before you.

Ultra-independence is a preemptive strike against heartbreak.

So, you don’t trust anyone.

And you don’t trust yourself, either, to choose people.

To trust is to hope, to trust is vulnerability.

“Never again,” you vowed.

But no matter how you dress it up and display it proudly to make it seem like this level of independence is what you always wanted to be, in truth it’s your wounded, scarred, broken heart behind a protective brick wall.

Impenetrable. Nothing gets in. No hurt gets in. But no love gets in either.

Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or who believe the battle is coming.

It’s trauma response.

The good news is trauma that is acknowledged is trauma that can be healed.

You are worthy of having support.
You are worthy of having true partnership.
You are worthy of love.
You are worthy of having your heart held.
You are worthy to be adored.
You are worthy to be cherished.

You are worthy to have someone say, “You rest. I got this.” And actually deliver on that promise.

You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy.
Worthy, sis.
You are worthy.

You don’t have to earn it.
You don’t have to prove it.
You don’t have to bargain for it.
You don’t have to beg for it.

You are worthy.
Worthy.

Simply because you exist.

Hey all it's the Lion,

I wanted to take a moment to gently remind you all that our fate versus destiny is very different.
Fate is what we were born into, our circumstances and the people in our families, included in this is the ancestral trauma also know as generational sin. Many people get stuck here in these circumstances and the repetitive cycles and patterns that go on for generations. Seeming impossible to break free from.

What nobody tells you though; is that you can break the cycle. You have the ability to heal; yourself, your family, and even your ancestors. It isn't easy, it is gritty and raw. Most times it is absolutely gut wrenching. Loved ones won't always understand you, they won't be able to comprehend the immense amount of turmoil you are in. It is an impossible thing to understand if you haven't gone through it. It doesn't matter if you learned how to love when you were a child or if you finally learned it as an adult. What matters is that you learn how to love unconditionally. You learn how to love others with appropriate boundaries. You learn your worth and start loving yourself unconditionally as well. It is MESSY, RAW, and occasionally overwhelming. It is also completely worth it. I promise you can make it to the other side.

Destiny is what happens when we actually make the choices to do the hard work. Destiny is the magick that occurs when we heal ourselves, our families and our ancestors. Destiny is exactly where YOU want to be. This is the place where you finally feel alive. Free to be your true authentic self in all of your glory. Magnificent and courageous; becoming ALL of the things that you have only dreamed of. Following your destiny is when you start to THRIVE.

If you have any questions on how to start this powerful process let us know.

With all of my love,
🦁

It's what are you focusing on bringing into your life? We all manifest so many things in our lives every single day and it is so amazing knowing that we can focus our attention to zero in on the things we really want to attract instead of those things that we don't want. I am working on abundance in all areas of my life and more love.

"Be a woman of confidence, not cockiness.
Know your boundaries, set no limits.
Speak your kindness and turn your back to conformed groups.
The only way to be a woman of change in this world, is to walk what you talk and set your own soul free first."

Look closely, you can always find beauty hidden within the chaos. Every single day more people are realizing that we are here to love and help one another. Fortunately we are living in an age where quarantining doesn't require complete isolation. The majority of us still have the ability to access the internet which allows for us to continue so many activities. Kids can still do school work, many people can work from home, we can video chat our friends and family. You can zoom meetings. If you think outside of the box, you can zoom birthday parties, book clubs and other social gatherings. Yea you won't be able to hug those people, but you will still be able to remain connected. It will still allow you to feel like a community. That is what this is all about. Many humans have lost our humanity, chasing what people have force fed us as living the dream. The acquisition of things, upon things and more damn things. When our soul yearns for something more meaniful. What we search for cannot be purchased, nor can it be found in another human. It requires faith, love and most importantly must be found within yourself and your own spiritual practices.

Take this time to slow down and talk to God. Love those around you. Reach out to those that are important to you. Call an old friend to catch up. You might just make someone's day

Please be kind to yourself and others

~with all my love~
Lion
