Tee is coming to an age where she is ready to start a religion. That is if I start her on one. With the state of the world today, I really am not sure what to do. Even if I did decide on a religion, I’d then have to consider the various denominations within each religion! And that alone puts me off.

I was born a Christian (Roman Catholic) by default. My mother is a Muslim convert and prays five times a day! The Hubs is a non-practising Buddhist and knows absolutely nothing about Buddhism. Beer maybe, but not Buddha. My life has had Buddhist and Christian influences in the past and I have friends of all religions. So where does that leave us?

I believe that there is ONE GOD. I really do. I believe that all the different religions and different denominations of religions are only man’s interpretations of early scriptures and theories of religion then. And then due to disagreements, deviated from the original and formed new sects. I think it is all bullshit. We should all respect one another as individuals regardless of race and religion. As long as our children are taught good moral values, does it matter if they have a religion or not?

Yes, it does. Having a religion, I think, gives one a foundation of spirituality. Regardless of whether a child chooses to follow a religion or not later, at least an introduction to God and the concept of spirituality is embedded into his or her brain but more importantly, their heart. We all know that most religions teach us good things and although sometimes, a particular religion doesn’t quite make sense, it is up to us to impart our own common sense into what we want to extract from that particular religion.

As for Tee, I will probably send her down the Christianity route just because I was born a Christian. However, which denomination of Christianity, I have no idea. Form my own? Haha…

It would probably be a matter of location!! Or if there was a cute priest!!!

Care to share your child’s religious story……..??

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.
