Today, I left Tee at Art Class (2 hours whilst I blog) and walked away in tears and a really heavy heart. Why? Shouldn’t I be deliriously happy that I can lavish a whole 120 minutes to myself?

It is her first proper class today and she is participating in it with 6 other rowdy, matsalleh, much bigger than her (both in size and in age) girls in Alice Smith uniforms. They looked about 7-8 years old and they were wild! My Tee, she’s half their height and half their age, and there was no other little person her size there with her. I secretly thanked God that we couldn’t afford sending Tee to Alice Smith despite what many of her teachers suggest to maximise her capabilities. I sure don’t want my child behaving like them with no offense intended.

We’re Asians and we have a certain way of behaving. Of course, there are many non-Asians who behave very well too and then Asians who behave like barbarians…….but I think Tee would lose a lot of Asian culture should she attend an international school at this age.

I asked her if she was sure that she wanted to do this (attending art class was her idea) because she didn’t have to do it today. We could always come back another day when there were more friendly looking students. But Tee said it was OK. She said she was fine and that I could go to the cafe to do my work.

Whatever happened to my Tee, who would wail blue murder at the top of her lungs should Mama leave her sight? Whatever happened to my Tee, who would hold my hand so tight the moment she suspected that I was about to go somewhere without her?

My girl…..she’s growing up too fast. Way too fast. She wants to BE like those matsalleh girls. She strives to be an adult at the tender age of 4.5 – I could not hold it in. My heart dropped and tears welled within the eyes of my swollen emotional pregnant body.

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
