Surprise me,

In a slightly different world, if dogs believed in "soul mates" when it came to choosing their owners... can you imagine how lonesome most would be?
Oh, there's definitely room for "picky," Laurel, but there's also room for "surprise me."
Surprise me,
    The Universe

"Cute Dachshund ISO cool human (like Laurel Stone) with nice house near Larsen. Must be mind-reader, watch Animal Planet, and listen to Dr. Dre. No pic, no reply."

Angels are people too

One of the most stringent conditions all angels must meet, Laurel, other than double-advanced harp playing and skydiving abilities (not necessarily at the same time), is that they must not allow themselves to feel hurt or rejected by the choices made by others, no matter how much they've done for them nor how great their love.
Yeah, WOW.
    The Universe

Angels are people, too Laurel.

Quite the paradox

Generally, typically, and most of the time, Laurel, it's those who consider themselves to be the least spiritually mature who are the most, and vice versa.
Holy cow,
    The Universe

Quite the paradox, huh, Laurel?

Big things seen as little things

When you realize that by changing your perspective, big things can be seen as little things, Laurel, it becomes much harder to worry about anything.
Funky cold medina,
    The Universe

Actually, it becomes impossible, Laurel.

There are no accidents

There are no accidents, Laurel.

If it's appeared on your life radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become.

And believe me, that was one heck of a dream.

Tallyho,
    The Universe

There are no accidents, Laurel.

Shall we?

Do you think the most stunning, celebrated, and adept dancer in the entire world, Laurel, could become so by only ever dancing to the most brilliant, illuminating, and clever music in the world?

Or would they freak, hip-hop, and tango to every riff, beat, and la-bamba within earshot?
Shall we?
    The Universe

Yeah, Laurel, the latter, even early on when no one paid them any attention and their little steps seemed so paltry compared to the glamorous waltz that moved in their heart.

Get your love on

To clarify, Laurel, the primary roles of LOVE are not to heal, fix, or mend. Not to soothe, cure, or ease. Not even to refresh, rejuvenate, or restore. Hardly.
The primary roles of LOVE, Laurel, are to "Yahoo!" "Yeehaa!" and "Whoohooo!"
Get your love on,
    The Universe

You were born to love, Laurel, no matter the cost, no matter what someone else said, and no matter how the past once played out.

The very best moment

The very best moment in any long journey that makes your dreams come true, Laurel, comes not on the day you realize they have, but on the day you realize how little they matter compared to loving the adventure they've inspired.
Don't ask me why, I just know what I know -
The Universe

Laurel, you've always been part of my journey... Xoxoxoxo.

TODAY'S THE DAY!!

Remember you once told me, Laurel, that if ever all of the circumstances in your life were aligned just so, your soon-to-be friends were in all the right places at all the right times, and the financial markets, social climate, and global energies had all reached optimal points... you'd want to be gently nudged as a subtle sign that it was time to start doing new things, saying new things, and visualizing so that you might catch these gargantuan waves of change and surf to dazzling new heights?

TODAY'S THE DAY!!

Hang ten,
    The Universe

Oh, Laurel, you also wanted me to remind you something about a new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop and Cadbury Fruit and Nut Bars... go figure.

Whoooooooohoooooooooooooooo!!

You know that dreamy look of deep, soulful love you've sometimes seen in the eyes of another as they gazed into your own, Laurel?
Expect a lot more of it.
Whoooooooohoooooooooooooooo!!

  The Universe

You are so deserving, Laurel.

It pays more dividends

Some of the coolest dreams that ever came true, Laurel, weren't dreams at all, but standards that simply weren't compromised.

Oh yeah, we takin' over...
    The Universe

Laurel, always being your best, shining your brightest, and standing as tall as you can, pays far more dividends than one might ever imagine.

Every nut needs a cracker

Sometimes, lifetimes are chosen to be with friends. And sometimes, Laurel, one friend agrees to be off balance and the other balanced. One teaches stability, the other teaches spontaneity. Win-win, cool-cool.

Gets kind of wonky though, if either starts thinking they're more important to the other, than the other is to them.

You know?
    The Universe

Every nut needs a cracker, Laurel, and every cracker needs a nut, metaphorically.

Always

No matter how things seem, Laurel, hope is near and love is present.
In the house,
    The Universe

Always, Laurel.

The farmer in me

Take it from the farmer in me, Laurel...
The more seeds you sow, the more plants we'll grow.
I love wearing overalls,
The Universe

Bet you're glad I wasn't wearing my dentist's hat today, huh, Laurel?

Payback, baby -

As good as you've been, Laurel, as on as you were, as high as you got, and as easy as it was, things will still be better.

Payback, baby -
    The Universe

Payback for your courage, imagination, and kindness to otters, Laurel. Or at least your propensity for kindness towards others, should the chance arise, which counts.

Actually

Actually, Laurel, if you understood the extraordinary gifts every single challenge in your life makes possible, even inevitable, you'd celebrate your challenges, new and old alike, as the omens that they are of new beginnings, spectacular change, and enhanced superpowers.

Perfect for where you are, huh?
    The Universe

Laurel, any kind of "superpowers" you can imagine....

The storm before the calm

Very often, Laurel, when tides start turning, great gears start shifting, and gusting winds start blowing at the onset of a really wonderful dream's alignment with your present life, there is commotion, unpredictability, even turmoil.

So, hey, let's always assume that's the case whenever you experience commotion, unpredictability, even turmoil. K?

Whhh-hhh-hh-h-h-h-ish-
    The Universe

Let not your senses deceive, for even as the tempest may howl, just beyond it lies a serenity that could not otherwise find you. The storm before the calm, Laurel, if you will.

Did you scrunch it,

Remember, you will always have friends, guides, and love, Laurel, but no one is coming to "save you."

That's the adventure package you signed up for.

The one that comes with all the superpowers, guaranteed rebounding abilities, and the all-powerful scrunched-nose-when-you-smile.

Your 5 Star Time-Space Adventure Tour Agency Manager,
    The Universe

Did you scrunch it, Laurel? I know you just scrunched it.

Take some time off

Plan the celebration now, Laurel. Sweep the floor. Clean the slate. Pick a date.

Window shop, buy a few things, go out on a limb.

Rearrange the furniture, pick some flowers, take some time off.

No, no, Laurel. Not necessarily because the tipping point has been reached... but because this is how you reach it.

How's today looking?
    The Universe

Especially take some time off, Laurel.

It's never too late

You know, Laurel, I once had a dream that didn't come true. I know how that is. Ouch!! Painful!! Humiliating!!

Until I realized, it wasn't too late to dream something better.

It's never too late, Laurel -
    The Universe

Actually, Laurel, I'm sure it would have come true eventually, but better is better, and who should have to wait?

Spiritually speaking.

In virtually all person-to-person relationships, Laurel, disappointments can be lessened, setbacks can be regained, and little annoyances can be brushed off, when one stops and realizes that such relationships are always temporary
.
Physically speaking

Twister!
    The Universe

Of course, Laurel, nothing can change the fact that you will be together, forever, spiritually speaking.
