The woman of Ifa

The woman of Ifa, she would come to me and sit me down so that I would learn valuable lessons. She only had to say them once for me to understand and stick on me.

She taught me about love and marriage, and making sure to just slow down before going down the aisle. She taught me to be open about how I felt, but always be respectful. She taught me to watch what I say, what I do, and how I go about things, because it has a greater effect on others. I found myself looking back and see that just even me upset, I don’t wish any harm on people even when people are so negative you would think I would. She has help transformed me into a calmer and happier person, even with my moments.

 

The woman of Ifa would sit me down, and show me her world. I had always love when she read the stories to me, every time I met with her, I was always waiting for the stories, and maybe a taste of refried beans mixture, gin and kola nuts. Then one day she showed me how to read the oracle and the stories it turned out to be last time I seen her in this world.

 

I couldn’t understand why that one day she showed me everything, but now I do. Her words are so much haunting to me, as like she knew what was going to happen.I remember her smiling at me after reading me a story, then telling me how I was going to be successful, and where to find my husband. As well as when I finally am successful to make sure when I get there, to bring her back something.

 

I find myself now working harder than ever, so I know she will be proud of me. I miss her dearly. Happy Birthday Emelinda!
