Hi friends, Rosey here with another Chamber Minute!

This week I’m gearing up to launch my own version of “Dirty Jobs”—a new video series I’m calling Rosey Knows. I’ll be spending time working alongside our Platinum Sponsors to really understand what they do, and to showcase their businesses in action. First up is Cardinal Services. They do so much for local businesses—and I just hope I don’t mess up anyone’s payroll while I’m there! You’ll be able to catch these videos at our Wednesday Business Connection Luncheons at the Kokwel Casino Resort, starting the 1st week in October.

Of course, it’s also back-to-school season, which can bring its own kind of chaos. My husband and son have been away this week helping my mother in Arizona, leaving me to juggle work, back-to-school prep, and all our animals—ducks, chickens, fish, cats, and dogs. Picture me sliding down muddy hills in my work clothes, just trying to feed the chickens before traffic and construction add more to the day.

But here’s what I’ve been reminding myself: instead of grumbling or letting the stress pile up,or say something I regret… I just say, “It’s totally fine.” Late for a meeting?…”It’s totally fine!” Slow driver in front of you?… “It’s totally Fine!” Because life can get muddy—and when we embrace the mess, it feels a whole lot lighter. Remember our Business is helping your Business!

Special Shout out to Mom’s Kitchen’s own Ann Hazen, A LONG TIME beloved community Business owner. She turned 90, and had a wonderful birthday party I attended, and we had great fellowship and FOOD with all her CLAN. It was amazing to spend time with a Friend. They all treated me like family, just as she did for over 30 years in her restaurant. One of The BEST little Breakfast places in North Bend…Jason Kelce has nothing on me! I got to eat cake with her…you just held up her picture in her famous little restaurant.
