Emerging markets may have lost some value. Not
all emerging countries have not lost their beauty though, not Ecuador
at least. Also, consider that reduced emerging currencies makes
emerging market real estate especially cheap! Let’s
be thankful for that!
On the subject of thankful, here is another thankful
story from a reader.
“Gary, Three years ago I was unexpectedly
fired by my brother. I had worked with him for almost 20 years,
starting with just a hope and a dream. The business was a radiant
floor heat and had grown to a decent size. One day my brother came
up to me and said, 'I hate to tell you this but you have to leave'.
“Leave, where do you need me to go?’ His
response was, ‘No, you need to understand. You are through
here. You no longer work for this company.’ I was in shock.
“First I was in disbelief and tried to talk
with him. He was a closed book. I got angry and didn't know what
to do. I needed to find the reason in this circumstance that would
propel my life forward. I realized it truly was my brother’s
business. I went to his house, threw my arms around him, told him
I loved him and that I was not going to let business come between
the closeness we have as brothers, wished him well and went on
my way. We remain great friends and support each other in our lives.
“I now have my own Wine Tour Business in
beautiful Napa Valley and work just 10 days a month. In the remaining
time we visit a small house we bought on 3 acres in Ecuador, plus
an ocean view lot in Mexico. We have 10 lots we are developing.
I have visited my son in Guatemala five times and may buy a little
piece there. This could have been a disaster in my life. Now many
times I just lift up my head to the sky and say ' I am so grateful
for life.’ I have never been happier. I look forward to everyday
as a new adventure. No matter what occurs, I know life unfolds
in perfect harmony, even if I don't always understand. Life is
good.” Larry from California.
Please send me your story about thankfulness.
