Pause the worry without pushing it away.

Try a three-minute "worry appointment":

1. Write the worry in a few words.

2. Choose a specific time later today to revisit it. For example, set aside 10 minutes at 7:00 p.m.

3. Return to your next immediate task.

If the thought comes back, say, "I have a time for this." Then gently redirect your attention.

This is not ignoring a concern. It gives your mind a clear time to return to it, so the worry does not take over every moment.

Try it this Monday. Keep the appointment, review the note, and decide on your next step.

Address urgent safety or health concerns promptly through appropriate professional, emergency, or crisis support.

Stretch your pantry into a bright summer salad.

For Tacoma and Pacific Northwest days, this three-bean salad is cool, filling, and easy on the budget. Use what you have and keep the kitchen simple.

Ingredients:
• 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 can cut green beans, drained
• ¼ small red onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice or mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Simple steps:
1. Combine the beans and red onion in a bowl.
2. Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice or mustard, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour the dressing over the beans and toss gently.
4. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.

Add cucumber, tomato, parsley, or any fresh produce on hand. Serve it as a side dish, spoon it over greens, or pair it with rice for a filling meal.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within three days.

Save this affordable pantry recipe for a warm summer day.

Do not limit your funding search to one grant.

Veteran and minority entrepreneurs can explore several official funding pathways:

1. Washington State STEP Export Voucher Program

Apply for reimbursement of eligible export costs, including trade shows, international travel, translation, market-specific marketing, and export training. Approved companies may receive up to three vouchers per federal fiscal year, with a total of up to $10,000. Vouchers cover no more than 75% of eligible expenses.

Review eligibility and apply through the Washington State Department of Commerce:
https://www.commerce.wa.gov/export-assistance/export-vouchers/

2. MBDA Capital Readiness Program

Connect with an MBDA-supported awardee for finance-readiness services, capital access, business networks, and preparation for debt or equity investment. This is not a direct grant to individual businesses. Services and eligibility vary by location.

Review the program:
https://www.mbda.gov/financial-resources/capital-readiness-program

3. Grants.gov

Search federal funding opportunities by reviewing eligibility, deadlines, and application requirements. Note that Grants.gov primarily lists funding for organizations and entities that carry out federally funded projects. It is not a general source of personal financial assistance.

Search current opportunities:
https://www.grants.gov/search-grants

Verify every requirement through the official source before applying. Use a clear budget, current business records, and a focused growth plan.

Community and Veteran Events shares these resources as a starting point for informed funding research.
