There's so much to share, but where to start? 

Married, 3 kids, dog, house, 2 cars, Unity & Unitarian church, garden club, IT, MQ, AT&T, formerly urban - now suburban, ……

I started listing my favorite things …. but what does that say about me? Does that put me in a box?

But I have to share something…

This doesn't in ANY WAY sum up who I am or what I'm about, but I'll explain my url address  formlesssubstance.zaadz.com

I downloaded the eBook, The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles. Then, a while later I joined the online forum. When I was asked what was my favorite part of The Science of Getting Rich, I answered: “the formless substance”. It was tongue in cheek and pretty funny to me, and at the same time very true.

A Summary of The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made,
and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and
fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged
by the thought.

A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing
his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to
the creative mind. Otherwise he cannot be in harmony with formless intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.

A person may come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the minds of individuals with the intelligence of substance, so that a person's
thoughts are received by the formless.
A
 person can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting
himself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.

A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the
things he wishes to have, to do, or to become, and he must hold
this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful
to the supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The person who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him.

Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent
contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the formless and the creative forces set in motion.

The creative energy works through the established channels
of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that
is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the
person who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.

In order to receive his own when it is ready to come to him, a
person must be in action in a way that causes him to more than
fill his present place. He must keep in mind the purpose to get
rich through realization of his mental image. And he must do,
every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each
act in a successful manner. He must give to every person a use
value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life, and he must hold the advancing
thought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.

The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will
certainly get rich, and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.
