Lion Lady

Sometimes I seem to slip and forget who I really am. I am the granddaughter of high-ranking Native American heritage, and I need to remember that. My grandmother introduced me to my totem, and it was unusual. Generally, they are something that exists in North America naturally, but mine was not. A male lion has strength that is not found in most females, as well as a certain gentleness not found in the species. She was shocked at the time. I need to draw on this strength at this time with all that I have, and use the gifts that this partner bestows upon me.

Before I was diagnosed, I knew something was going to happen. The hawk was showing up over and over, and this is not their season around here. The hawk is a messenger, and I did not pursue it. I will not let this happen again.

Tonight I am going to look into myself and see what I need to do MY strengths, my ABILITIES, and using MY way, which the doctors may or may not know of. This can only enhance my treatment. Maybe cancer has messed with the wrong bitch.

You can only hold out your hand for so long looking for help before it simply falls from exhaustion.
