T1 had her first taste of a proper library at the very young age of twenty months. There she was encouraged to select her own books and ask the librarian if she could borrow the book, please. Then, she would choose her books randomly, by bold, bright colours. The bolder the better. The bigger the better too! It was completely random.
It is extremely interesting to watch over the years how she selects her books and what kind of books exactly she is interested in.
Around last year, she would select books that had friendly pictures on the cover. Anything with sharp illustrations and dark colours would get the evil eye. She preferred books with little furry bunnies hopping around in pink flannels shirt or cute gray kittens in pastel green bows. How feminine for such an unfeminine girl.
Today however, was the first time that I saw T1 actually open up the books of which she was attracted to, to read a page or two first before she decided if she liked the book. And instead of choosing books she liked that Mommy could read to her, she instinctively chose only books that she could read to herself. I found that so interesting. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t stop reading to her. I just found it amazing how a child evolves independently without any influence in her reading habits.
She chose all 13 books by herself and couldn’t wait to read one in the car on the way back. The first story she read me was actually so funny that I laughed out loud!! And I thought to myself, wow, what a great choice she had made for a book!
I can’t wait to see what else she has chosen……

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.
