I read some other blogs (though I don’t comment) and a couple of them seem way to preoccupied with the idea and any discussion based on intentions seems to revolve around the “Law of Attraction”. I was just trying to make int clear that I was not referring to the idea.

I liked this article I came across Debunking it: (it won’t let me post the address, so I’ve had to delete it in this comment).

It makes points such as “Everyone quoted in The Secret has something to sell, not to teach”. And makes the point which is obvious when you really dig deep into these kinds of rehashed pop mystic theories, that if the Law of Attraction is true, then victims of child abuse are themsleves to blame for it for attracting it – which is a horrendous and nonsensical thought.

And lets face it, if you’re a fan of the 70s British sitcom Some Mothers Do ‘Ave Em, no amount of positive thinking made Frank Spencer get better “every day in every way”.

So once and for all, colors nailed to the mast: I ain’t preaching The Secret.

Having ranted a little, let me say in the time I’ve known you, I have found you to be a man of (great) intention. I sometimes blog like this to remind myself of what I’m doing and why. It’s good to update and revisit these intentions and stay with them since raising kids is not a quick job, but happens over a couple of decades.

Be interested in you posting on what some of those hopes and goals are. Might be good for you and us both. Cheers!
