This is a sacred time of year for me. I love July because I was born in this month. My creation is a miracle of life. When you consider life in all its abundance and diversity, it is an awesome miracle. And how all things are in wonderful balance even when we endanger nature itself. And on that note, I ask for your support with light and love to heal the planet. Please join me in reciting this healing prayer. The first time I read it out loud, it sent shivers throughout my body. These are very powerful words indeed. Namaste.
HEALING PRAYER
Thank you Nicole Chayka for forwarding this important issue. Dr. Masaru Emoto is a pre-eminent Japanese scientist who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research revealed that water physically responds to emotions. Google his name and find out.
Many of us have a predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr. Emoto, himself has proposed.
Let us pray together and set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.
We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily…multiple times daily….can literally shift the balance of destruction to restoration.
We don’t have to know how. We just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power in the Universe today. Please join me in repeating this healing prayer of Dr. Emoto’s. Let’s take charge, and do our own clean up!
“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons, corals, algae and all living creatures . . . . . I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
HOW FAST CAN YOU TYPE?
Get your speed clocked at www.TypingTest.com. My mom just got a laptop and to help her with the hunt and peck method of typing with one finger, I got her the Mavis Beacon typing program to help her become familiar with the keyboard. She went from 4 words per minute (wpm) to 31 wpm at 99% accuracy in just 2 weeks. Her new goal is to attain 40 wpm. Way to go mom. My speed is 115 wpm 93% accuracy. My sister Jan types 134 wpm. The key for speed is to stay relaxed. And being a pianist also helps.
MULTI-FAMILY BOOTCAMP
August 28-29, Edmonton, Alberta
Question: is multi-family investing your answer for creating long term sustainable wealth? My colleague Don Campbell is hosting a 2-day workshop to educate real estate investors on how to leverage economies of scale to grow your long term wealth faster and more securely. To be held at the Shaw Conference Centre at 9797 Jasper Avenue. The recent changes to Canadian mortgage rules have created more challenges for the smaller retail investor. However, commercial mortgage rules haven’t changed and is easier to finance (in my opinion). Don is offering this workshop for an amazing $587 if you register now.

BUYING ANOTHER BUILDING
Once you’ve done the due diligence on a region, you get to know the area very well. When a deal comes along, it is an opportunity to mitigate risk and get better economies of scale with an existing portfolio. This is why we are in the process of buying another 48-unit apartment building. The key to finding great deals is to niche. Some investors spread themselves too thin over a large market versus becoming an expert in a smaller market. It also takes patience, biding your time and waiting for the right market conditions to bring along the right deal. This is why it has been a year since my last purchase. I love shopping.
WEALTH TIP
The wealthiest people on the planet have one thing in common: fanatical integrity, as written in the book The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley. He studied the habits of millionaires. He noted that the decisions millionaires make lead to building wealth, things like having a short planning window versus a long one. As John Maxwell says, “Thank God It’s Friday Oh Lord It’s Monday is a recipe for the poor house.”
PRO-ACTIVE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT – PART 9
Educating your tenants. One of the keys to successful preventive maintenance is training your tenants to take care of it for you. For example, if your properties have issues with humidity you need to train your tenants to use the fans to circulate the air to promote evaporation. This reduces the wear and tear on the apartment, reduces the incident of mold growth and damage to drywall. To view a sample letter that we give to all of our tenants, click HERE and feel free to use it to educate your tenants.
The only way to save for the future is to sacrifice some of the now. Brian Tracey
