Kiama author Wendy McAra knows all about the power of positive thoughts.

When the psychologist and life coach was going through a challenging divorce, the “worried single mum” was plagued by self-doubt and insecurity.

“I feared I’d never be happy again, I felt like I was revisiting my teens, all I was interested in was how I would find the man of my dreams,” she said candidly.

McAra explained it was not unusual to have these feelings when you are going through a life-changing event, such as a divorce. But what she did next was outside her comfort zone.

“I signed up for a personal development workshop and it changed my life,” she said.

The workshop taught her about ScriptWriting, a powerful manifestation technique used to help people make the lives they dream of a reality. 

“A script is an opportunity to let your imagination flow, express what you long for, then claim it as if it’s already happened,” explained McAra.

“Many people feel stuck in a gap between their current reality and the life they truly desire. This disconnect can be deeply frustrating, whether it’s relationships, career, finances or family dynamics.

“I wrote my first script on New Year’s Eve in 1996 about finding the man of my dreams and within a year I had met and married my new partner.”

McAra has written a book about her journey - called Create Abundant Possibilities: Seven Steps to Manifest your Dreams - which include seven practical steps in the art of scriptwriting.

“Some people may be sceptical that it is possible to bring your dreams into reality through the simple process of ScriptWriting or dream scripting, but my repeated success in manifesting my own dreams has left me in no doubt about its effectiveness,” said the successful author.

“Most of the many hundreds of clients I’ve taught ScriptWriting have been successful in manifesting their dreams, like meeting their soulmate, landing their dream job, buying the house they love or moving from financial struggle to prosperity.

“This process is such a life-changer that I felt compelled to share it with as many people as possible.”

McAra’s book, available through Amazon and select bookshops in Kiama, provides a “toolkit to build the life you dream of”. It also explores the science behind the theory and looks at how the brain is wired to make changes.

“Grab a pen and get ready to start scripting your dreams, because this book will show you they really can come true,” she said.
