Hi. I would like to provide a clarification about my cited blog post at Get Happy, Be Happy, Stay Happy.

"It%u2019s the most ridiculous thing I%u2019ve ever heard" and "I haven%u2019t seen it work in my life or anyone else%u2019s" are listed as statements that others are saying to support their argument that the Law of Attraction isn't true. I hope your readers continue to the end of my post where I make the point that people on both sides of the debate are using fallacies. My intent is to promote critical thinking, not arguments based on emotion -- as tempting as it is!
