2 SUPER short videos that I feel are appropriate during this time (voting daily for me for the 'Best in the Pacific NW' contest)
Note: the video clips provided in this newsletter are intended for good fun and the dad (in video #1 was talking about winning) that's why I felt they were fitting.
Watch video #1 (it's 20-seconds long) by clicking on the link to it here: https://tinyurl.com/2xyjkwh4
NOTE: Clicking on the image of the video BELOW will NOT play the video, just clicking on the link above will.
SOME TIPS TO ENSURE YOU HAVE SUCCESS WATCHING EITHER OF THE VIDEOS:
1) Ensure whatever device (i.e. computer, phone, etc.) the volume works, is on, AND loud enough for you to hear.
2) If you're listening from a computer or laptop, be sure to check the volume icon (normally in the bottom right-hand corner of your task bar on a Windows PC) that it's not turned off (usually a line through the volume icon) and again that the volume is turned up and loud enough for you to hear. If you have external speakers (ones that are NOT built into your computer/laptop) ensure they work, are on, AND are properly plugged in/hooked up properly) if you're using. You may have to unplug external speakers if they are presently hooked up and you don't want to use to hear the video.
3) After following steps #1 & #2, click on the video link (ONE video link at a time) 🙂 and then click on the sideways triangle that's on the video.

Both videos ABOVE are from my favorite movie "Wicked Minds" which can be watched for FREE on Amazon Prime membership (if you have), and according to Google, on Tubi and Fandango at Home for free as well. Also according to this same source, you can also watch the movie for $3.99 on Google Play Movies, Apple TV, and YouTube.
It takes about a minute to vote with my custom URL OR QR code so if you have NOT voted for me yet today, I sincerely thank you in advance for your vote today and TOMORROW (THIS FRI. 6/27/25 BEFORE 5 pm Pacific Standard Time).
Step-by-step instructions for voting for my business with my custom URL (website link):
*IMPORTANT* - SOME TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS: If you accidentally for whatever reason end up making mistakes when voting for me (i.e. accidentally NOT clicking both radio buttons (or check marks when you're on a phone) next to BOTH my categories "customer service" and "woman-owned business" and already submitted the vote and it says you voted and need to wait until midnight to vote again: open another internet browser than the one you were just using to vote for me (for example, if you were using Chrome, use Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge [as some examples of internet browsers] to do the vote for the second category). If for whatever reason it still says you already voted OR you don't know how to/don't want to download OR open another internet browser on your device go on a completely different device to do it (i.e. another computer, phone, or tablet BEFORE MIDNIGHT on that day to get your vote in).
MORE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS: A lot of times hitting the "Refresh" button (also known as "F5" button on a computer keyboard) can solve lots of glitches (i.e. pages NOT loading fully or properly). Double-checking you're at the right website, ensuring internet is active (you have the service active on the device you're using) and it's presently working (NOT down). PLEASE do NOT let technical glitches and/or computers and/or other devices you may have that are under construction/don't have active services (i.e. internet) stop you from completing your DAILY vote. PLEASE procure another device at your home/where you're staying OR do it a place that you do have access to a device if where you're staying/living has no device(s)/internet. Thank you! 🙏🙂
Step-by-step instructions for voting for my business with my custom URL (website link):

- Click the "Submit" button

To vote for me DAILY with your smart phone... 👇
To visit my custom URL (website link) from my QR code by using your smart phone (it would take you to the same website as: https://votethepnw.com/WorkSolutions) position your smart phone on the QR code image BELOW after selecting "Camera" option (like you're going to take a picture) and then click on the yellow background for the words that read "votethepnw.com" COUPLE IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) Follow the instructions for voting for me above in this same email as if you did without visiting this QR code after you successfully are on my voting page. 2) These instructions are from an iPhone so if it doesn't work with your smart phone, you'll have to refer to your user manual OR look up in Google how to access a QR code with your phone's device type (you know make & model). If you're still having problems and do NOT have access to someone who could show you how to do, visit your cell company's store closest to you as one of their workers can show you. (If your cell phone company's store isn't local to you/they don't have in-store options, visit any major cell phone company store closest to you as I'm sure one of their workers can show you). 🙂
Of course, contact me ASAP, too if you have any questions/problems by emailing me to: [email protected]. Thank you! 🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS ONCE PER DAY TODAY (if you haven't already) & TOMORROW (FRI. 6/27/25 BEFORE 5 pm Pacific Standard Time).

In case you're wondering what I get when I win at least one category for the 'Best in the Pacific NW' contest 🙂👇
Aside from the recognition, bragging rights, more credibility, another award for my business (including a very present/recent one), all winners receive complimentary listings in the winners’ magazine (Gold winners get a photo and a write up to go along with their win). They also receive a full digital presence on the Best In the PNW results sites that stays up year over year to reflect their win in the contest.
My mom's partner asked if I won money. I must admit money would be nice. I suggested gold winners win $1,000 and regular winners receive $800. (I mean hey, it'd be nice to get back the money for the custom URL with a little extra). 🙂 I'd also liked a signed certificate that I could frame. (Remember the answer is always no unless you ask. Besides, it could be something they implement going forward if NOT now). When I informed my contact of my ideas, she said she would forward my suggestions.
