Nothing is Permanent

However long it takes, however difficult it seems, or however lonely you may become, Laurel, remember, you live in a dream world where everything can change in an instant.

Especially when you've been visualizing.

Love, love,
    The Universe

Growth Experiences

You can rest assured, Laurel, that those who have hurt you had absolutely no idea of what they were doing and what was really going on.

It never occurred to them that you'd become even more magnificent. That they'd be invoking your sympathy, adding to your compassion, and increasing your "sparkles." And it will still be eons before they can grasp that you actually welcomed them into your life and played their little games for some of these very reasons.

Cute.

Love you with all of my heart,
    The Universe

Sparkles

Did you know, Laurel, that whenever you feel love, you literally begin to glow? You probably did.

But did you know that the glowing is actually made up of zillions of minute sparkles? And that these sparkles receive as much energy as they create? And that because of this energy exchange you completely stop aging and look younger? Abundance is immediately drawn to you? Healing powers fill you? Muscles are strengthened, pounds are shed, and your vision improves? Lingering questions are answered? New friends are summoned? Old friends are poked? Problems are solved? And maple syrup tastes more maple-y?

All when you feel love.

It's true -
    The Universe

The World is Ready!

Just wanted to formally announce, Laurel, that the world is indeed ready for ALL of you.

Go on.

Love,
    The Universe

It’s Going to be a GOOD Year!

I don't like to make predictions, but the way things are going, Laurel, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this year you have a ball, go to a ball... and put the pics up on Facebook.

You are so poised for the time of your life -
    The Universe

Baby Steps

Baby steps spark miracles, Laurel.
Miracles do not spark baby steps.

Ungawa,
    The Universe

Live Life

When in doubt, Laurel, show up early. Think less. Feel more. Ask once. Give thanks often. Expect the best. Appreciate everything. Never give up. Make it fun. Lead. Invent. Regroup. Wink. Chill. Smile. And live as if your success was inevitable, and so it shall be.

Happy global domination,
    The Universe

What’s meant to be….

Laurel, it is easy. Just once a day, imagine the life you dream of. Believe that it can be yours in this world of magic and miracles. Choose to live as if you know of its inevitable manifestation. Don't compromise. Don't worry. Don't look for results. And as surely as spirit crafts one moment after another, so too will it fuse together the life you now lead with the life of your dreams as if they were two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, destined to become one.

This alone determines what's "meant to be."

Tallyho,
    The Universe

Love is Always Present

Explaining puzzling or difficult things isn't necessary, Laurel, in order to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that love is always present, that life is eternal, and that I'm still hanging ten, whoooo-hoooo'ing, and conspiring on everyone's behalf.

Your gangsta of love -
    The Universe

We Control our Thoughts

Just to be extra clear, Laurel, there is absolutely no connection between the global economy and your freedom to think as you please.
Nor is there any connection between the global economy and my ability to shock and delight, suddenly and without warning.

I think that pretty much takes care of everything,
    The Universe

We ALL Can Achieve Greatness

Folks are often so mesmerized, Laurel, by gold medals, trophies, and the daunting heights they aspire to, they tend to forget that their heroes and heroines, more often than not, started with far less than they now have.

You are poised for greatness,
    The Universe

Is what you WANT, what you GET?

What you want, Laurel, has no bearing on whether or not you'll get it. None. Nada. Zippo.
It's only ever a question of whether or not you can behave as if you already have it.

I got you, babe -
    The Universe

We Choose our Reality

See through the fog that tells others nothing matters, nothing is happening, and it does no good.
They realize not, Laurel, that every second of history... was optional.

Burning down the house,
    The Universe

Visualization

Are you so sure it's not the dancer who creates the music she moves to? Or the painter who manifests the mountains he captures? Or the tycoon who builds the empire before there's a dime?
Whatever you want, Laurel, let it exist first in your mind, imagine every nuance and consideration, let the walls have substance, the halls have depth, and the money have weight in the palm of your hand, and then all that's necessary to bring it to pass will be drawn to you.

Sneaky, clever, foxy, wry -
    The Universe

You’ve Always Been….

I realize there's an assumption that pervades most human thinking: That upon the day of birth, a new soul emerges... pure, bright, and sparkling with promise.
But then, how would you explain the gasp among those in the unseen who, upon witnessing your first howl as a babe, proclaimed, "Oh my God!!! NO way! It CAN'T be! That's... Laurel Stone!!"
Laurel, you are an ancient, timeless, powerful gladiator. You've always known exactly what you were doing. Today you are exactly where you should be and this year, more than ever before, "OMG!!!" will precede your name.

Hubba, hubba,
    The Universe

A Toast to Life

Next time you make a wish, Laurel, wish for what is, because really and truly, things don't get much better than this.

There is a purpose, a plan, and a reason for all things. What doesn't make sense, will make sense. You are exactly where you should be; your challenges are what they should be; your rewards are what they should be; and the best is yet to come. Time has served you well. Love is in the air. And you're looking mighty good in the light that now surrounds you.

A toast to life... to you... to us...
    The Universe

Your Actions Matter

Never yet, not once, Laurel, have you ever smiled at a stranger, said "sorry" to a friend, or bowed to the glory of nature, when sparks didn't fly, tears didn't roll, and praises weren't sung for you behind the curtains of time and space.

All hail Laurel Stone,
    The Universe

We are the Champions

It's the exact same for me, Laurel. My love goes unreturned, I feel completely unappreciated, or some clown starts telling me what's wrong with the world (my world!). And so, I have to remind myself that I am the Universe, that this is an adventure, and that one day they will come to know the errors in their thinking. And, not that it matters at all, but I secretly hope that on that day I just happen to be carried past them, sitting in my processional throne, followed by throngs of admirers, with all the Angels singing, "We are the champions, my friends..."

Laurel, you are the Universe, this is an adventure, and they will learn.

Tallyho,
    The Universe

What’s the Point of it?

Laurel! Do you know what the "point" of it all is?

This whole contraption of time and space was designed and engineered to scientifically prove that you are endowed with all you need, to have all you want.

Everything else is just fluff.

Tallyho,
    The Universe

It's Within You

Laurel, it's within you: the answers you seek, the direction you want, and the power to be whoever you want to be. Your dreams are not yours by mere whim. They've been meticulously matched to the gifts you're now developing. Designed to lure you within, where your true power lies, and then out into the world, beyond imagined limitations and fears. Trust yourself. Listen to your heart. You have the right stuff, you know what to do, and it can all be yours.

Hosanna in the highest, 
    The Universe

Be the Person of your Dreams

Laurel, today, be the person of your dreams.
See life through THEIR eyes.
Make decisions with THEIR mind.
Let every thought, word, and action come from THEIR perspective, as if you had already arrived, and just watch how 2009 warps into the kind of year you talk and laugh about forever and ever and ever...

Peace, love, and green M&Ms -
    The Universe
