Beauty

Truth is, Laurel, we cry over here, because of the beauty over there.

"There," meaning, where you are.

"Beauty," meaning, you.
Wahhhh,
The Universe


You also crack us up, Laurel, a lot.

...connections...

You deserve all the love, Laurel, in the world.

Done.
Helps to have connections,
The Universe

Just a small perk, Laurel, for sharing all the love in you. I notice these things, you know.

Hear the music?

Some just hear the music their entire life long, Laurel.

It's playing right now.
Dute da dute...
The Universe



You bobbing, Laurel?

Don't resist

Don't resist, Laurel.

Don't resist.

Don't resist.
Love you,
The Universe

You can change your mind, find another way, or shop for a better deal, Laurel, but don't resist what you know to be yours.

Whatever you give, you get.

To empower another, is to empower yourself.

To celebrate another, is to celebrate yourself.

And to free another, Laurel, is to free yourself.
I say empower, celebrate, and free them all,
The Universe



See the trend, Laurel? Whatever you give, you get.

I do what I want to do....

My own personal policy, as The Universe, Laurel, is to only do those things that I want to do, with whom I want to do them.

That's part of the reason I'm always hanging around you.
Hungry?
The Universe


The other reason, Laurel, is because your imagination never ceases to amaze me.

Steadfastly hold onto a dream!

Throughout the hallowed ages, Laurel, those in the unseen have always marveled at the accomplishments and creations of humankind. Whether a sandcastle or a skyscraper; a painting or a poem; they're humbled by your ability to reflect, to engineer, to craft, and to create something that has never before existed within time and space.
But it's not the creation that impresses; these all exist here to the nth degree. It's the persistence and determination of the seemingly mortal dreamer who steadfastly holds a new thought in mind, either of the creation or of its inevitable success, and moves with it, even while the rest of the world is content dreaming their father's dreams.

This is what is admired, Laurel; not just because it's so rare, but because it is so, even when such innovative potential lies within all.

Cool, huh?
The Universe

Laurel, just follow your heart.

Think...choose....focus....

You know, Laurel, you have many gifts, extraordinary gifts. Gifts of perception, insight, and creativity. Gifts of preferences, leanings, and inclinations.

But there is one, ah yes, just one, that while often overlooked is the most sublime and profound of all, availing you of wonders beyond wonder, and the power to wonder some more. It is, of course, to think; to choose a focus; to see the world however you like... and live to see it so.

I mean, what else do you give someone who wants it all?

The Universe

Can you feel it, Laurel, right now, spinning in the palm of your hand?

What really matters?

What really matters? What's really important? Why bother? Who cares? What's it all for?

Laurel Stone. You, Laurel, it's all about you. What you like and dislike. What you want and don't want. What makes you smile and laugh. What makes you learn and grow.

Selfish? How else could you shine your light? How else could you possibly hope to lift the world? How else could you be all that we dreamed you might be?

Selfish of me -
The Universe

Laurel, it's our turn!

Plant a new image in your mind.

Laurel, in the time that it takes you to read this short Note, you could have planted a new image in your mind (anything you like, ideally with an emotional charge); I could have reacted (realigning planets, people, and the sort), and the floodgates would've begun trembling violently as we'd have been drawn infinitely closer to manifesting the vision you'd chosen.

Fortunately, there's still time.

Hot dog,
The Universe

It doesn't have to be hard, Laurel, or take a lot of time.

Is it obvious?

Sometimes the most obvious thing in the world, Laurel, isn't obvious at all, in the absence of wonder.

Obviously,
The Universe

It only takes a little, Laurel, to unlock all the secrets of time.

How to change...

Changing what you have, Laurel, comes from changing who you are.

And changing who you are comes from changing what you think.

Which is why I made the latter so easy.

Hey, I think it's Friday...
The Universe

Because changing what you think, Laurel, ultimately changes your words, your actions, the kind of music you listen to, the movies you watch, the places you visit, the friends you hang out with, and, yes, even how you look in jeans.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday Dear Laurel,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Laurel Stone doesn't come along all that often. In fact, there's never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:

You're the kind of person, Laurel,
Who's hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you've met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don't know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Laurel, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn't know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won't be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Laurel!

Trust Yourself

Laurel, trust yourself.

The Universe

Laurel, you know.

Create a paradise...

Laurel, it never fails to amaze me.

Create a paradise out of the ether. Throw in some wildlife, volcanoes, and windstorms. Some iguanas, koalas, and waterfalls. Come back a few billion years later, and just when it looks like the whole place is going to implode - with pollution, disease, and war; famine, fatigue, and fright - there are still those who see the beauty. Who act with kindness. And who live with hope and gratitude.

Actually, they carry the entire planet.

Who'd have thunk?
The Universe

Yeah, Laurel, okay. Guilty.

For the earnest student, Laurel, taking responsibility means never forgetting to have fun.

Seriously,
The Universe


Play, Laurel, play. That is, if you want to be responsible.

Always been guided....

Hey, Laurel... It's OK. Everything is fine. You've always been guided. Even now you are watched, and held, and adored. You've made great stuff happen, and you will make more great stuff happen. You've changed lives. You've changed your own. You've moved mountains and done the impossible. You've been scared and you overcame. You've been knocked down and you rose. And you've been lost, or so you thought, only to discover it was just the calm before another storm of creativity, love, and fun.

Humbled like the rest of 'em,
The Universe

Laurel... it's "way" OK. Schools here have your name on them and our coaches teach the "Laurel Stone Method" to their advanced students.

...moving toward a dream...

Have you noticed, Laurel, how moving towards a great dream summons from life's jungles the fiercest lions, the scariest tigers, and the grizzliest bears... who eventually turn out to be the noblest teachers, the bravest guides, and the dearest friends?

You're on your way,
The Universe

Believe it or not, Laurel, people used to be scared of me!!

Manifesting change...

Time for a little refresher on manifesting change, parking spots, and a new new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop. Laurel:

1. Think about it as if it were already done. (Note "already done" part.)
2. Keep showing up, doing all you can, every day, in every way, until already done. (Note "keep" part.)

For complicated cases, like when dealing with invisible, limiting beliefs, negative friends, or staring down adversity: same-same.

You've got it made,
The Universe

Your part is easy, Laurel; it's my part that requires the math.

Never compromise a dream

Never compromise a dream, Laurel.

Always compromise on how it will come true.

Knocking on every door,
The Universe

Can you hear me now, Laurel?

We can choose who will be in our lives...

When it comes to choosing who will be in your life, Laurel, I recommend valuing their "Yeeee-Haaaaaaa!" quality above all others.

Have it your way,
The Universe
Special orders don't upset us, Laurel.

Life is your source....

Life itself, Laurel - not your friends, partners, or peers - is your source. Dance with life. Dance with me. Dance, no matter what others may think, say, or do. You can have it all.

1, 2, 3, lean, dip, shake -
The Universe


In fact, Laurel, it's all already yours. Hul-lo....
