Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.

💐What I Want from my Children💐

I want you to know how much I love you.

I want you to remember to be kind and have empathy for others. I want you to know that I think about you daily and worry about you, because Mums never stop worrying about their children. I want you to be happy and healthy. I want you to make good life choices.

I want you to feel valued and I want you to use your life to pursue your dreams. You see, I don't really want or need anything from you, I want things for you. That's all a mother ever wants. We want our children's happiness above all else.

And finally, I want to see you, but if we aren't in the same household, we will do it by phone or video chat this year, because I want us all to be safe. I love you.

Love, Mum 💝💝💝💝

Imagine This!

Marie from Flaxmere

Imagine this: if you had * $86,400 in an account and someone stole $10 from you, would you be upset and throw all the remaining $86,390 away in hopes of getting back at the person who took your $10? Or move on and live?

Right, move on and live.

See, we all have 86,400 seconds

What I Want ☺

Every year my children ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer:

Every year my children ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer:
What do I want, I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever. Tell me about your job, your worries, your kids, your fur babies. I want you to continue sharing your life with me. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me, I don't care. Hearing you laugh is music to me.
I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way I knew how. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work.
Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don't mind. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way.
I want you to spend your money making a better life for you and your family, I have the things I need. I want to see you happy and healthy. When you ask me what I want I say "nothing" because you've already been giving me my gift all year. I want you❤❤❤❤

Ask Yourself

Marie from Flaxmere

💐A question to ask yourself today: how would the best version of myself handle this?

How would the most loving, kind and well-intended state of yourself react? Speak? Do that.

You already know what you should do, but it might be hard.

Whatever happens today, handle it with grace💐
