This is going to be very brief, but it could be very important to you…

This post will be a quick response to some criticisms and misunderstandings about my last post about The Secret.

First of all, I do thank you for all your posted comments. I read them all, and I wish I had time to answer all the questions and respond to all the comments you made, but I just don’t.

I do answer a few of your comments below, though, so keep reading.
