Good day, from all of us at Henry Watts Real Estate and Lifestyle Magazine. We are thrilled to welcome you to this edition of our magazine. We are hoping that 2022 will be joyous, healthy, and successful.
This edition begins with a TRUE story of a man whose life took a turn for the worst. Take your time while reading this story. It depicts the realities of being a minority in a country where you are guilty until proven innocent.
One lesson to be learned from this story is that no matter what life throws at you, honesty, accountability, and wisdom, will always allow you to overcome the toughest situations. For reasons you will come to understand, our writer decided to remain anonymous.
On a different note, the creative, smart, and talented Anthony Riley wrote an article about branding, design, and the key roles small businesses play in our current economy. Now more than ever, we rely on our small businesses to fuel our economy and for that reason, we should continue to support them. Visit your neighborhood restaurant, utilize the services of your designer friend, buy the goods sold at your local shop. These businesses need you, just like we need them.
Before you can help others, you must first help yourself. Therefore, we’re sharing an article written by the amazing Kenyatta King about the importance of “Mind Farming”. The article explains why positive energy is the sole ingredient for attracting good fortune to yourself. Kenyatta King then proceeds to provide five actionable steps to seek the frequency of a happy mindset.
In the article entitled “Inflation”, we discuss current inflation, what you should know about it, and why it’s important. “How much is needed for a down payment?”, we detail the computations needed to determine the appropriate down payment for your next home.
If there’s one thing Covid has taught us, it’s that we must be resilient, and creative. When attempting something creative, we must think it through. We take a look at the frequently asked question, “why not turn empty offices, into condos”. Many factors come into play, and we show you why it’s best to conduct a full analysis before trying something new.
On a lighter note, we share tips regarding redecorating a room, or your home when lacking “design sense”. Also, we are once more honored to share with you a poem from the delightful Cheryl Foster. Her poem “No More Excuses” is a real testament to the power of your mind and the incredible importance of always moving forward in order to grow.
Have you traveled this year? How did it feel traveling during a global pandemic? Were you satisfied with your trip? Did you feel safe? We want to hear your story. Feel free to send us an email detailing your experience. If selected, your article will be featured under our “Travel, Travel, Travel” category in next month’s edition. You can email us at Henrywattsrealestate1@gmail.com.
This month, under “Food, Food, Food”, Seven Restaurant highlights the different ways in which it is maintaining a safe and Covid-free environment for you to enjoy a delicious meal.

We would like to give special thanks to our guest writers who have helped bring this month’s edition together. Thanks to family, friends and you, Henry Watts Real Estate and Lifestyle Magazine continues to grow in content and readership.
