Barbara Sher's Wishcraft

 

I've told you my harrowing tale of the first day I held Wishcraft in my hands and the near-mugging in Central Park that made me glad the original title was in Kabbalah lettering. (below).

I told you all about the pre-Wishcraft 12-hour workshop I designed and ran until I went broke -- but it lasted long enough for lots of women's magazines to attend and write it up, and for the New York Times to send a reporter who got in a column at the 11th hours -- whereupon 5 agents called me the next day to write a book (which had never occurred to me).

I told you about the old, typed workbooks and scanned them into my computer (with some difficulty) and put up here.

I love the Internet so much. Have I told you that lately? On abebooks.com I found a copy of the original Wishcraft (mine had suffered a bleaching by the sun and didn't look so good) and put it up below, too.

And now I'm tweeting and Facebooking and lots of fans are finding me and writing me lovely notes. I figure they've done so much for me already, they owe me something, so I'm asking them to send me emails or (even better) videos of themselves saying how Wishcraft worked for them, the ideas that helped them the most.

The bulletin board was hacked so I dragged it over to this blog but it's not readable yet.

(Did I mention how much I love the Internet yet?)

Have I repeated 'Isolation is the dream killer, not your attitude,' lately?

Hi again Barbara. The Wishcraft story continues:-)I'd love to see those scanned workbooks. Is there a link to them somewhere? And that old sunbleached copy of Wishcraft - is it the one that saved you from the muggers? That would be good to see too, even if it doesn't look so pretty now.

I agree with you, the internet is wonderful. Well most of it anyway. But you might be better off without that Nabble BB. Did you see their terms & conditions? They take the rights to anything that's posted and you can't reuse it. I was going to post on it but I read those and changed my mind. If you want a BB I can do a better one for you after I return home on 2nd March. I've tried out a few different ones that could be suitable.

You're right, isolation is the dream killer. I think you might have told us that before. But it's good to repeat it so it sinks into our brains. I think it's one of the most important messages I got from Wishcraft.

I agree, Skannie. And it got spammed right away. We took it down and I tried to save some of the posts here in this blog. We're out of there.

Re Isolation is the dreamkiller, I noticed early that every time I said that, people pulled out their pens and wrote it down. When I saw that, I realized it had impact and I was really happy about that because now they didn't blame themselves anymore and could find a way to do what they wanted, a way that worked.

It bothered me that people thought that all it takes is positive thinking makes everyone feel so bad about themselves, and it isn't true. You can't always get into a positive mood and you don't need to. You'll do whatever you have to do in any mood.

Then all you have to do is figure out how to set up something so you *have* to do what you *want* to do. And that's Success Teams. :-)

Barbara - unless I'm missing something, I don't see the Kabbalah letter photo you're referring to.
