One thing I’ve learnt in my lifetime very early on is that is there is no such thing as a secret. If you really want something to be a secret, then just don’t tell anyone. And I mean ANYONE. I’ve tried and tested this so many times since I was a teenager up to when I was in my twenties when I told only 1 person in the entire world, sometimes a real secret, sometimes something I just made up (for the sake of the exercise), and almost always, I’d hear back that same secret through another source; which really confirmed to me that that particular person was not capable of keeping a secret. Many people just can’t resist spreading a secret!
However, as much as I don’t trust anyone in keeping a secret, I say with great pride that when I tell you I’d keep a secret from anyone in the whole wide world, I really do. I won’t even tell my husband. Speaking of which, if I could trust one person in this world about keeping a secret, it would be my husband. I trust him implicitly.
Sometimes I tell someone to not tell anyone about something but eventually the person forgets or thinks it so insignificant that they mean no harm. And then my secret spreads……slowly but surely. This pisses me off!
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have such a treasure chest of secrets that everyone would love to dig into. I am pretty much an open book. It just irks me that people cannot keep secrets. Sometimes I’d just make things up and people will spread it. Why can’t they just LISTEN and RESPECT my wishes that this should be kept between us, and only us?
This is one of two things in my life that I have problems grasping – keeping secrets and jealousy. I don’t understand the concept of jealousy either i.e. I don’t know how to feel jealousy and I don’t understand why people can’t keep secrets, because I can.

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.

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.


there would be two instances where i’d be completely green with envy.
1) when someone tells me they are eating something I really really really really really really love, and
2) when someone tells me they had a nice long arvo nap.
Yes, these two.. make me absolutely green with envy, all the time.
yupe, completely agree, almost nobody trustworthy to keep your secret.
I’m a secret keeper,many of my friends trust their family secret on me and until now, I haven’t tell a soul.
But, if one of them seem to blow out mine, well then the pact will be off and I’ll blown out theirs too
yeah, I’m revenge type *grin*
