Because of this 10% of Pure Passionistas profits will go to the Pro-Life work - specifically Pro-Life Philippines and Bo Sanchez's Grace To Be Born ministry, which provides options for unwed pregnant mothers. In being pro-poor, we also hope to be able to source most of the original Pure Passionistas products from Gawad Kalinga sites.
Mompreneurship is an exciting and challenging journey, but may not be for every mother. I chose to take this path though, because I consider it another "mission" in life. More on my "leap of faith" adventures as soon as I have updates! :)

For all of us, entrepreneurs or not, let us always remember that everything we have is God's. He will provide for all our needs. (And sometimes, even for our wants as well! :) Being truly rich means that we are able to bless and serve others with what we have! :)

Update as of July 9, 2011
I have been an "inactive" mompreneur lately, as things at work, and my sideline writing jobs have kept me busy (not to mention my lovely, crazy, happy family!). Hopefully I will be able to "re-activate" Pure Passionistas soon! For those of you who have been inquiring about our products, thank you so much for your patronage! Hope to serve you well soon! :)
