Although the book has been around for 30 years, I only got a copy last year. I had heard the book mentioned a couple of times, and when my life coach sent me a book card for Christmas which had to be redeemed on a Canadian website, I decided to order a copy. Well, it was the best thing I could possibly have done! At the time I was waiting for my agent to find a publisher for my book 'Their Cancer - Your Journey', and getting quite demoralised. Well, not after reading Wishcraft! Within weeks I was writing again and my book went into print (self-published) in October last year.
What I recently realised was that I am good at the initial dreaming up ideas, I'm also good at following through a list or method - but I have always found it impossible to translate the one into the other. This is something I think is lacking in all the current 'manifestation' books.
But Barbara's book gave me a system for translating my dreams (sell a million copies of my book) into a simple list of things to do next. As I'm now into the promotion, I am using the system all over again to help me get a handle on that.
What I think sums up the strength of the system is the comment my husband made - 'I don't understand it,' he said, 'you're spending all this time planning, but you're getting so much more done!' The point being that the time planning enables me to spend my doing time on activities that actually move me towards my goal.
You won't be surprised to hear that hubby then borrowed my book for his own project planning! We've even used it to help our son plan what is involved in getting his own exotic pet (first step, write a list of questions, next step visit the pet store).
I am immensely grateful to Barbara for her book. I have recommended it to many people, but my copy is too precious to ever lend out, so they will have to buy their own!
