My daughters and I, we are so extremely lucky to have a Nana like Mom. My Mom, she has the biggest heart in the whole wide world. Last night, she cooked us a dinner of baked pasta filled with lots of mincy beef, tomatoes, bechamel and cheese…..it was Heaven. With that we had juicy ribbed-eye steak on the side, perfectly grilled potato wedges, buttered asparagus. I had doubles and was so full but the food was just too good not to have doubles! Then we celebrated T2’s 3rd month birthday with tons of cake. That is the life.

Mom has been fighting cancer for 7 years now – gosh, has it been that long?! What a fighter! I am so incredibly proud of her strength that she has stuck up for us, her children and grandchildren, to fight this killer disease. I know for a fact that the only reason she has this will to live is because of her overwhelming love for us. And for that we are so grateful. What would we all do without Mom?
Mom, who always has a solution to all our questions and problems. Mom, who can tell any of us telling a lie from here to England and back. Just because she doesn’t say anything to us doesn’t mean she doesn’t know. Mom, who would give up anything just so we could have whatever it is that she knows makes us happy. Mom, who takes the time to cut-out years worth of recipes from magazines and files them in categories so we could have yet another family heirloom. Mom, who would fight tooth and nail, never mind if you’re ten times larger, richer or more powerful than her, to defend her family in any circumstance from harm and hurt. She is THAT loyal. Mom, who never fails to give to any of the less fortunate, even if it is just that stranger on the hospital bench looking destitute. Mom, who has sacrificed so, so, soooooooo much for her family in so many ways that we’ve lost count. Mom, who can smell a rat several miles away and knows when we are mixing with someone who isn’t good for us. And guess what? She has been right EVERY step of the way. Her intuition is amazing, at the risk of making an understatement. Mom, who has garnered so much worldly experience in life that she REALLY knows the solution to all our problems. Mom, who has set us a benchmark that we could never live up to…….
What do you do with a Mom like that?
Love her to the end of this world, eternity, and take her for lots more family holidays!
Perth, London, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Paris, Bali, here we come!
**************************************************************************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.
