Twice As Nice: exclusive interview with our mamacita

This week we at TwinnigIt are so excited to bring you closer to our reality. Today we will be releasing our exclusive interview with our Mamacita!






The very first thing we want to state is that this woman is incredibly wise, she has been such  a solid rock in our family and we are honored to be her daughters as much as she is honored that we are her babies, she still likes to call us that and with her we don't mind. She has been the one that always pushed us to stop arguing and to love one another, that never ever should we allow anger or disagreement to linger between us but rather stand firm in love and unity. We are so incredibly thankful for this.


So lets get on with the interview:

1.       

     TwinningIt: Do you see us as twins having a normal relationship or does it go deeper?

Mama: Your relationship is deeper than other siblings (singlets). You often finish each other’s sentences and know what each other is thinking and meaning.

2.       

      TwinningIt: How do you think this deep relationship is formed?

Mama: You are "connected at the heart" (Julia Roberts) literally meaning having a "deeper spiritual relationship, which is far more precious than just a physical relationship" (Mahatma Gandhi), due to having lived majority of your lives together.

1.     TwinningIt:   What is something beautiful you see in the friendship of twins?

Mama: How instinctively you know each other, often when one of you is upset the other will step in and defend or explain the other twins actions whist the twin in question nods their head in full agreement. This is also seen with the singlet but with much less intensity and accuracy of what the singlet wanted to say or do.

1.       TwinningIt: What have you observed between our relationships that saddens you?

Mama: How close you are, how much you fight and are competitive with each other. You don’t fully realize your individual strengths. I have always preferred to encourage you both to work on your individual strengths and not on your weaknesses, just as Strength Finder recommends.

1.       TwinningIt: As a parent did you feel you had a vital role in our relationship, how so?

Mama:Yes, every mother whether good or bad always adds psychologically, physically and spiritually to a child’s experience of life. I always aimed to create a joyful, fun, disciplined and holistic lifestyle for you and encouraged you to be independent yet relish in your twin abilities. This meant that I had to point out your individual strengths to create individuality and your common abilities as twins as part of your uniqueness. An example of this would be that you are both Networkers (people's people) yet one is a Networker Manager type leader and the other is an Organiser Networker type leader (Lemon Leadership by Bret Johnson).  Yet above all that you would recognising that all wisdom, understanding and knowledeg comes from the Father of the Universe.

2.       TwinningIt: What advice would you give to other twins?

Mama: In a world of interdependence, self-reliance, self-gratification and being told that success is based on what YOU make it to be. Results show that in unity teams get better exponential growth and impact more; this means that individual work done together causes more than just double growth. In other words  1+1=2 which is normal growth. 1 persons work  plus another person’s work, working together can cause 4x or more growth (exponential growth). Being a twin means that you are uniquely designed with individual strengths, abilities, leadership types etc. however you also have the gift of being able to join your efforts with another human being who knows you better than anyone else and together as twins you can achieve much more than just by yourself. Especially since twins know each other extremely well.

3.       

       TwinningIt: What do you say to twins who do not want to be together?

Mama: Twins who for varies reasons are not able to connect with each other miss out on exponential impact in their own lives and its always wonderful to see how twins support and love each other as unique siblings.

4.      

      TwinningIt: What advice would you give to parents of twins, mother and father?

Mama: Love them individually, develop their abilities separately to encourage independence from each other yet do not deny their unique spiritual, physical and mental connections.

5.     

            TwinningIt: How has being a mother of twins affected your self-image?

Mama: It has enhanced my life beyond my expectations with twice as much love, fun and hard work.

  TwinningIt: What is one individual thing you love about us?

Mama:As an individual, Evangeline's abilities to bring words of wisdom and encouragement has proven her to be a great and growing problem solving leader who stands on strong principles. The type who from the age of 5 clearly pointed out with shocked tones that I had just lied to their aftercare school teacher when I had picked them up late, underlying the pricipal of truthspeaking.

Mama:Edelweiss ‘s individuality is shown through her ability to gather the right people,  plan and finish processes at the appropriate times. Her heart is for people and she is often quietly a stable pillar for people to lean on.  Such as she was for me when she was only 7 and in my hardest year I was sitting on the floor crying in the kitchen heartbroken (and they were suppose to have been sleeping a while already) when I heard the pitter patter of her feet coming towards me to give me a hug saying "I love you mamae don’t cry".

In the conclusion of our interview we will be keeping our mother anonymous as per her request we will not be  posting pictures of  her or releasing her actual name. We hope you enjoyed this interview as much as we did!
