The following song was sung at campfires when I was only 12 years old. I learned then what it meant to be a warrior of life. This is the song that plays in my heart every day. When I made that promise as a Guide to follow the Guide Law, I really made it. I didn't say just to become a Guide. I made that promise to myself, to my family and to my community. Little did I know where it would take me...
On My Honour - author unknown
On my honour, I will try
There's a duty to be done and I say, "Aye!"
There's a reason here for a reason above.
My honour is to try and my duty is to Love.
No one needs to know my name.
If I've hurt someone then I'm to blame.
If I've helped someone then I've helped me
And that's the way that it should be.
I've tucked away a song or two.
If you're feeling low, there's one for you.
If you need a friend then I will come.
There's plenty more where I come from.
Come with me where the fire burns bright.
We can see much better by it's own light.
We can find more meaning in a campfire glow.
Than we've ever found in a year or so.
We've a promise to always keep
And sing "Day is Done" before we sleep.
We are Girl Guides together and when we're gone,
We'll still be a-tryin' and a-singin' this song.
On my honour I will try.
There's a duty to be done and I say, "Aye!"
There's a reason here for a reason above.
My honour is to try and my duty is to Love.

Law of Attraction and Passion
Another observation I have made about The Law of Attraction is of confusion on what is meant when we say to apply our thoughts with passion. What do we mean by passion? A man hollering at the top of his lungs, his face turning purple, is using passion to apply his thoughts. Is this the sort of passion we are talking about? A woman weeping bitterly, begging for the electrical company to give her another week to pay the bill is using passion. Is this the sort of passion we mean?
I would like to turn thought to a time when we were in love. Remembering that time; the happiness, the beating of the heart, the glee that filled the day? Remember when in those first few days, how excitement filled us as the time of the next date approached? The thrill we felt, the all consuming passion we lived life with? The senses were alive, awake; all of life seemed to sparkle. There was an awareness of what was said, the tone used, the way we dressed and the way everything seemed to take on a life of its own. The body seemed to just vibrate with intensity; indeed, literally shivering with sensuality and anticipation. When with the object of love, the feeling of connection enhanced; they understood like no one has before, so completely. It was like they heard on all levels, the vibrations reaching to the core on all frequencies.
In communication classes, we are taught how humans communicate on more than one level. They use several frequencies to put across their meaning. When relationships break down, often counselors are sought to help reconnect the communication. Couples are often instructed on the use of different frequencies to communicate and suddenly find themselves experiencing the throes of passion, they are again in love.
In those first few days of a budding romance, we are receiving and sending our communications on all levels. Thus we catch every nuance of every communication. This creates an attraction with the object of our passion and this draws our Desire to us. We are literally vibrating as one, attracting each to the other in harmony with our desires. We are happy, we are fulfilled, and we are at one with all things at this moment. Being in love, is the perfect passion; positive, creative, communicative and blessed.
Remember again that moment of being in love. Fix that feeling, that exhilaration into the heart, mind and soul. When the feeling of being in love fills the senses, think then of the desire, the wish to be attained. The Universe can not help but bring us together with our desire. At this moment, we are communicating fully and completely with our desire and are expressing our full passion and Will to the Universe to attain it. It can not be refused. This is the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction and Cynics
One observation I made about the Law of Attraction was when I met up with skeptics and cynics. These are people who have focused so much on the negative view that they immediately latched on to the negative aspects of this principle and have convinced themselves that the Law of Attraction is bunk and useless. The example they often use to illustrate their conviction seems almost classic in that it is identical from cynic to cynic. They describe a scenario of a young child, abused and neglected on the streets, and ask how she might have attracted such misery. She is too young to have any thought of positive or negative, her mind in much the state of neutrality. How then can we believe in the Law of Attraction if a child is taken from their beds, abused and murdered? How can we believe innocence has attracted such horrors?
I think of a time when people have attended a spiritual gathering, be it a church, a temple or a synagogue. Perhaps while there, it is announced that a congregant is ill, perhaps with a stroke, or heart attack, pneumonia. What happens? The congregation prays or gathers energy to send...they pray for health, for healing, for blessings upon the afflicted person, and indeed that person is usually returned to health in very short order.
So what happened? Each and every member of the congregation set into motion their own personal Law of Attraction in congruency with others. This created a large magnet of Attraction for the healing of the ill person. Thus we learn of the power of the Law of Attraction when applied by a group of people. We all do it. When we gather and talk of our successes and cheer each other on, we are applying this principle of a group Attraction. When we need some extra energy to get through a tough spot and we ask our friends and loved ones to wish us well, we are enacting the power of a group Attraction which we know as the strength to exponentially attract what we desire.
This is why we must be careful of the affiliations we make. No matter how positive we might be. No matter what we work to attract in our lives. If we continually affiliate ourselves with people whose attraction is at crosspurposes to our own, we will fail. This is because the power of the many overpowers the strength of the few. We all affect others with our Attraction. It is part of the ripple effect of action. What a group of people attract can affect what we individually work to attract. If we align ourselves with people of like purposes, we create a larger magnet to attract our desires and ambitions.
What of the child on the street? Of course they did not attract such misery. The people around them did. Society has attracted it. Each group of people consistently living together creates an Attraction that is the sum of the positive and negative energies they create. A community can have an Attraction. A State or Province can have an Attraction. A Society can have an Attraction. Why do bad things happen to good people? Because the people around them have attracted it to themselves and innocent people get caught in the crossfire.
This is why we who know about the Law of Attraction have a responsibility in its use and teaching. For every privilege, there is an equal responsibility. We can see the outcome of the Law of Attraction applied negatively. We know what is causing it. We know that action is contagious, whether positive or negative. As such, we have a duty to make a change, however small, to help turn the tide so that terrible things do not happen to the innocents...the children.
Does the Law of Attraction really work? Look beyond ourselves. Negative and positive in application create war and beauty everywhere we go. The Law of Attraction is not just for our individual pleasure. It is for the guidance and benefit of our world.

Introducing myself
Hi all!
This is an opportunity for me to say hello, and let you all know who I am and what I'm doing.
I'm a nurse, specifically an LPN. I usually work with people who have lived long hard lives working long hard days. They have used and abused their bodies just to make a living for their families. I've seen the worst...and the best. One lady I met was 99 years old and on virtually no medications. Not too surprisingly, she walks all the time, eats healthy food and takes good care of herself...she's likely to make it over the Century mark and still keep walking. Did I mention she's not in a wheelchair or uses a walker? She walks faster than I do sometimes and fully upright. She's shown me that the usual bent over, senile, coughing picture we have of the later years is not necessarily to be expected.
I'm also a mom. My children are the centre of my world. Anything I can do to make their world a better place, I'm happy to explore. From health to wealth, from family time to family values. My choices affect them and so I do my best to make those choices worth their time.
As a mom and a nurse, I do a lot of reading, study new science and options and find what best works for me and my family. I hope to share some of this with others. If it helps others find better choices for themselves, I'm happy.
Love and blessings,
Angela Gallant
