I met Goddess Adeyela a few weeks ago when she and her daughter came to Thursday night’s Laugh Love Live Yoga Circle. What a great laugher!!! And what wonderful energy. Bubbly and so full of love!!! Both her and the more reserved Goddess in Real Life Moremi.
Mama Goddess Adeyela is the Mother of four Goddesses in Real Life, the two youngest being twins or Iyabeji _ as the Yoruba people of Nigeria refer to these revered Goddesses in Training.
Besides being a full time Mom, she is also a first grade teacher and a puberty rites-of-passage facilitator and a talented writer. To me, these three things are sacred gifts that a woman and Goddess can offer. Teaching is already a huge blessing. To also facilitate a Rites of Passage for Goddesses In Real Life as they enter womanhood – that is a beautiful thing. And then to share the wisdom and experience and knowledge and expertise by writing about. Tis a beautiful thing.
Goddess Adeyela shared with me her blog which is full of facts, wisdom and perspective. I am looking forward to laughing more with this wise Mama Goddess and learning more from her as I start building my own village as I prepare in my journey for conscious pregnancy.
And thank you Goddess Mama for reMINDing me of the wise words of the writer and prophet Kahlil Gibrahn. I look forward to hearing the musical version of Sweet Honey in the Rock.
ON CHILDREN (an excerpt from Khalil Gibran)
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
