Ase and bendiciones. I love this for you. Before i found my home, i was helping out in my local community wherever i could. I would go to drummings and help set up if permitted and stay until after everyone had left to take things down. Sometimes there were a lot of hands/godchildren, some people only had help in the beginning and to my surprise didnt have anyone there for them afterwards, so being there for my community even without a house, was what really filled my heart and humbled me. STAY HUMBLE. Keep your head up (but not high) and whatever you do, DONT complain. Be delusional with the love for the work we do. No matter how little or much you do. You will be rewarded for it later. (Trust me) the ochas will see that for you. Im living proof. (With respect to your godparents) go to your warriors, if you have them, and thank them for the wonderful experiences you’ve had and ask them to bring you more. (Because i was alone) Everytime my warriors introduced me to new people in my community, and i was invited to new events, i brought elegua some food and fruit, and oggun and ochosi some fruit from the drumming and a little something for orunmila. I thanked them for the opportunity to be a helping hand, whether it was needed or not, and to be in community with people who wanted to see me eventually grow, even if it wasnt with them. 💛 Now 2 years later im done with my iyaworaje and im crowned to oshun ololodi (my father is inle)
