Dreamland

Ask any question, Laurel, just before you sleep, and it will be answered.
Actually, you can ask any question, any time you like, and you'll be answered, but mornings your "hearing" is often best.
Yes, we can hear you now -
    The Universe

We get a lot done, Laurel, in dreamland. Actually, we're custom engineering your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop right this very moment... with the "Hello Kitty" logo, right??

What works

Arguing and getting angry, Laurel, never works.
Understanding and loving, always works.
Of course, the work at hand, Laurel, is your own happiness.
Another day on the J.O.B. -
    The Universe

Work, Laurel, like no one's watching....

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

one-of-a-kind

Do you know how to give folks what they most, most, most want from you, Laurel, without even asking them what it is?
In all regards, just be yourself.
That's what they were after when they manifested you into their lives.
Whoa!
    The Universe

You are, truly, one-of-a-kind, Laurel.

Monday, June 10, 2013

the right place

Being in the right place at the right time, Laurel, isn't something you can force.
It just happens when you keep busy. Effortlessly.
Imagine that,
    The Universe

No, really! Imagine that, Laurel! And then get busy, because AMAZING awaits!

Friday, June 7, 2013

The answer

The answer to every question beginning with "Why," Laurel, begins with "Because, I love you."
Actually, I love you anyway -
    The Universe

And the answer to every question beginning with "How," Laurel, begins with "None of your beeswax."

Thursday, June 6, 2013

What a system

There's always a deeper reason, Laurel, for the emotions you feel, the doubts you have, the questions you raise, and the fears you entertain.
It's called "wanting it all."
What a system, huh?
    The Universe

And you are sooooo close, Laurel!

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Let's get carried away

Laurel, nothing needs to be explained, justified, or even understood, to move beyond it, transformed, wings afoot, chariots aflame, angels on high, sparkles trailing, fuzzy dice on the mirror...
Let's get carried away,
    The Universe

Yeah, Laurel, the angels are on high anyway, and don't worry, no one's touched your dice.

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

The more you trust

The more you trust folks, Laurel, the less they let you down.
Which is not, incidentally, why I trust you.
Always,
    The Universe

Believe me, Laurel, had you not been as trusting as you already are, there's no telling what some of those rascals would have been up to by now.

Thursday, May 30, 2013

It's the final moments

It's the final moments, Laurel, that define a journey and the first ones that make it possible.
Both, you have total control over.
Whop, whop!
    The Universe

The middle moments, Laurel, are for living, loving, and donut breaks.

Wednesday, May 29, 2013

steer with your mind

Aim with your heart, Laurel, steer with your mind, and know that it always works.
Love you,
    The Universe

Besides, aiming, Laurel, without steering, is just daydreaming.

Tuesday, May 28, 2013

It's all self-service

It's all self-service, Laurel.
The magic works through you, not for you.
Now helping 7 billion help themselves,
    The Universe

Just order and show up, Laurel. If it's not there when you show up, keep showing up until it is.

Friday, May 24, 2013

sheez-z-z

There's never been a day in your life, Laurel, when you were as close to your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop, as you are today.
So very, very close -
    The Universe

And tomorrow, sheez-z-z, Laurel, so close that we can already feel our own butterflies swarming...

Thursday, May 23, 2013

Choose me

Very often when you just can't decide between two or more options, Laurel, it's because the answer that would most give you peace is actually, "None of the above."
But not always.
Choose me,
    The Universe

Happily, Laurel, it was really, really easy for me when I chose you...

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Behind your greatest fear

Behind your greatest fear, Laurel, lies your greatest gift.
You're welcome,
    The Universe

And your greatest gift, Laurel, will be the example you become.

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

When you tough it out…

When you tough it out, hold the line, and stay the course, Laurel, I promise you there will soon come a day when you look back over your shoulder, shake your head in dismay, and seriously wonder what all the fuss was about.

Just like all the other times,
    The Universe

In fact, in not so many days from today, Laurel, it will become clear as a bell that you did have enough time, that you were never alone, and that all of us in the unseen were working double time to help make possible "the time of your life."

Friday, May 3, 2013

Thinking rich

Usually, it's not thinking about the bucks, Laurel, which makes one rich.
But thinking rich, which makes the bucks.
If you know what I mean.
Strut,
    The Universe

Just a little trick for you to think about, Laurel, because I want you to have your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop, as much as you want to have it. Maybe even more.

Thursday, May 2, 2013

Thinking about what you have…

Actually, Laurel, it's not that you want stuff that you don't have, but that you want stuff that you think you don't have.
And the best way to change this is to begin thinking that you have it.
As in, "Oh, there's my electric, fully-loaded, Habitron Cloud Maker!!"
Rain, please -
    The Universe

The same goes for wanting to be the kind of person you think you aren't, Laurel, living the kind of life you think you don't have, and having the kind of friends who don't think you're really, really "out there"... unless you're cool with the latter, which I think suits you.

Wednesday, May 1, 2013

the beginning….

Sometimes, Laurel, when circumstances or disappointments bump you off track, it's the beginning of an even bigger dream coming true, that could not have come true on the track you were on.
Yeah, always.
Always, always -
    The Universe

I know what I'm doing, Laurel, and I love you so much.

joy and prosperity

As far as I can tell, Laurel, worrying about anything at all is a pretty good indicator that one has begun thinking that their joy and prosperity will somehow hinge on pending physical events, other people, or angry green Martians.
Can you imagine?!
Phone home,
    The Universe

First, Laurel, joy and prosperity are created within. Second, the events and people of your life can be changed with your thoughts. And third, for the most part, Martians are neither green nor angry.

Monday, April 29, 2013

something to learn

Talking a lot about something that bothers you, Laurel, is a pretty good sign that you've got something huge and profoundly liberating to learn.
Whooohooooo!
    The Universe

That is, Laurel, if you can catch yourself, turn within, and yearn for illumination.

Friday, March 29, 2013

Cheese

Some people smile, Laurel, to make friends.
Others smile to look younger and live longer.
And then there are those, Laurel, who so totally get life, that smiling is all they know.
Cheese,
    The Universe

Plus, young Laurel, feeling grateful puts everyone on the fast track to more of everything wonderful.

Thursday, March 28, 2013

Only in hindsight

Only in hindsight, Laurel, will the miracles become obvious, will you see you were guided, and will you find there was order all along.
"Otherwise," as you once said, a long, long time ago, "it would all be too easy..."
We agreed,
    The Universe

By the way, we've patented the whole life-self-discovery-thing-in-time-and-space on your behalf, Laurel, and the royalties have been utterly divine. Not quite sure how to thank you, but how about a new new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop for starters?!

Wednesday, March 27, 2013

Cool jets

There's nothing so important, Laurel, that it can't be said tomorrow.
You know, if you aren't sure.
Cool jets,
    The Universe

Especially, Laurel, when you're not sure.

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Stranger than fiction,

It's not that your life totally rocks, Laurel, except for a few tricky spots, slippery patches, and challenges.
But that your life totally rocks, in large part, because of the tricky spots, slippery patches, and challenges.

Stranger than fiction,
    The Universe

Everything makes you more, Laurel, and you look so good on the slopes.

Monday, March 25, 2013

Every single day

I consider every single day to be the single most important day in the history of forever, Laurel. So far.
You, too?!
    The Universe

OMG, Laurel!! Do you know what today is...???

Friday, March 22, 2013

No accident

It's no accident, Laurel, that when you look closely into the eyes of another, the very first thing you see, is yourself.

That when you hold their hand, you can feel your own warmth.
And that when you give of yourself, you give to yourself.
Because, quite simply, both you and they are me.
Let's get it started, uh-huh -
    The Universe

Freaky, Laurel? Maybe. An accident? No.

Thursday, March 21, 2013

Be led by joy

Be led by joy, Laurel.
It's the whole point.
Tallyho,
    The Universe

Remember, Laurel, before this entire adventure began, you once asked me to remind you of this? You asked that I time it right before the floodgates opened, so that you could stay grounded. You were studying at the prestigious Bent Light University... in the Ph.D. program... on a Hula-Hoop scholarship. "Go Illuminators!"

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

The litmus test

The litmus test that will reveal whether or not those in your company are truly enlightened, Laurel, is whether or not they treat everyone else as if they, too, are enlightened.
Best to assume they are, if you get my drift.
All bow,
    The Universe

I love being so smart, Laurel, don't you?

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

It's payback time.

If you could read all the minds that I read, Laurel, hear all the prayers that I hear, and beat all the hearts that I beat... I wonder if you'd even believe how often you're thought of, talked about, and fallen in love with.
It's payback time.
Ándale Ándale!!!
    The Universe

Sorry, Laurel, can't tell you everything I heard, without getting into wicked trouble from the proofreaders.

Monday, March 18, 2013

Born to run

Whenever an escalator to "success" ascends without you, Laurel, (just "swoosh-h-h-h-h-h!" right into the sky leaving you on the ground), it's always because there's another one on the way that will go even higher, with your name plastered all over it.
Not to mention a booming sound system, tripped out wheels, and fuzzy dice.
Born to run,
    The Universe

You really have some interesting friends on this side, Laurel.

Monday, February 11, 2013

Find the good

Find the good in what they said or asked, Laurel.
It's always there, even if they didn't mean for it to be there.
Sherlock-ly yours,
    The Universe

Clues for what you want, Laurel, are hidden all around you.

Friday, February 8, 2013

lions and tigers and bears…

The lions and tigers and bears of time and space, Laurel, are really the angels and fairies and unicorns that followed you here, in disguise, from world's beyond, agreeing to poke, unnerve, and awaken you should you ever begin to forget that you're making it all up - your life, that is.
Now that's love -
    The Universe

lost the bet that you'd, indeed, "go human, commando" no less..

Thursday, January 24, 2013

Nothing else matters

Laurel, if you know what you want, and you can remember that "thoughts become things" is the only absolute law at play in time and space, what else matters but what you choose to think today?
Yeehaa!
    The Universe

Nothing else matters, Laurel. Not your past, not your present, not what others think. Even karma is trumped and slam-dunked by "thoughts become things."

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

Where is it?!

Let's see, Laurel, last time I checked you were still a forever being with as many second chances and new romances saved up as there are stars in the night sky; whose thoughts fly on wings, whose dreams become things, and for whom all the elements bow.
In case you were wondering.
Moonbeams,
    The Universe

Laurel, where is it? Where is it?! Have you seen your future lately...? Oh, there it is! Spinning in the palm of your hand.

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

New thinking

Believe me, I know all about it. I know the stress. I know the frustration. I know the temptations of time and space. Laurel, we worked this out ahead of time. They're part of the plan. We knew this stuff might happen. Actually, you insisted they be triggered whenever you were ready to begin thinking thoughts you've never thought before.
Good on you,
    The Universe

Laurel, new thinking is always the answer.

Monday, January 21, 2013

Don’t you think?

Whether it's the simplest things that life has to offer, Laurel, like diamonds, pearls, and fabulous wealth, or friendship, truth, and happiness, please realize...
... actually, diamonds are rocks. Pearls are nature's plastic. Money grows on trees.
Laurel, it's all thought. You live in a dream world. Therefore, it's all simple. You want something, anything? Just think it. Material or ethereal - they're both me.
Which is the point I was about to make.
I adore you,
    The Universe

Laurel, don't you think "fabulous" and "wealth" are two words that should always be used together? I do.

Friday, January 18, 2013

Even cooler boggles the mind

Believe it or not, Laurel, if it weren't for your so-called issues, problems, and challenges, there'd be no other way you could become even happier, cooler, and more enlightened than you have ever been before.
Tallyho,
    The Universe

Granted, Laurel, you being even cooler boggles the mind.

Thursday, January 17, 2013

Come as you are

Sometimes the people who know, Laurel, don't know they know. And sometimes the people who don't know, think they do know.
But you can always tell who is who, because, of course, with knowing comes tolerance, and patience, and love.
Come as you are,
    The Universe

You know I get these things from watching you, Laurel?

Wednesday, January 16, 2013

Your finest hour

It was perhaps one of your greatest acts of love, Laurel. Choosing to be alive at a time when so many live so deeply in the dark.
And already things are looking brighter.
All bow,
    The Universe

Your finest hour, Laurel. Mine, too.

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

a billionaire

With regard to the things that really matter, Laurel - insight, understanding, and sense of adventure - rest assured, you're already a billionaire. And we're talking about the kind of currency you can take with you.
As for the bucks, dinars, and rupees: while certainly worthy ambitions, there will come a time when you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
Nice going, Laurel, nice going -
    The Universe

One day, Laurel, people will be able to buy Bentley's with how much they've loved. Yeah, actually, many already do, thanks.

Monday, January 14, 2013

Who loves you?

Oh! I've been meaning to tell you for the longest time, Laurel, that... well... concerning the illusions: time and space, the stars at night, the earth under your feet, the oceans, the rivers, the prairies, and everything under the sun...
They're a-l-l-l-l yours.
Guess I thought you'd have noticed by now.
Oh, yes they are -
    The Universe

Who loves you, Laurel?

Friday, January 11, 2013

No matter how small the effort

Life rewards effort, Laurel, exponentially. No matter how small the effort, nor how daunting the odds.
That's a lot,
    The Universe

Of course it also rewards thought exponentially, Laurel. Especially those in motion.

Thursday, January 10, 2013

When a tree falls

When giving careful and calculated thought on how else you might see certain situations differently than you now see them - including your entire life, for that matter - please keep in mind, Laurel, that occasionally being on "the fringe," is good.
Real good.
Come in Tokyo,
    The Universe

Because when a tree falls in the woods, Laurel, and nobody is there to hear it, it never really fell. Nor were there any woods.

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

Keep it up

Do you know why I'm so fond of the time-space continuum, Laurel?
Besides that I thought it up...
Besides you being in it...
Besides puppies and kittens...
It's because it can all seem so logical... so predictable... so real, when you want it to. Or, in the twinkling of an eye, you can choose to remember it's not.
Keep it up, love -
    The Universe

Laurel, it's this simple: Understand what's real in a sea of illusion, and all things will be added unto you.

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

In case anyone should ask

In case anyone should ask, Laurel, your heart isn't so large because of your wings; it's your wings that are so large because of your heart.
Sometimes "loving so much" can be pretty heavy.
Thanks for all you've shared,
    The Universe

It's just another one of those nutty body algorithm things, Laurel.

Monday, January 7, 2013

Hark... a tremor I do detect...

Considering your grandest and most glorious dreams, Laurel:

When your thoughts and visualizations pertain to the "hows" (how they will come true), or when they include an insistence upon unimportant details (virtually all details are unimportant; think of them, yes, but just don't attach to them), or when they require specific people to behave in specific ways... at the very best, your efforts will only increase the likelihood of your desired dream coming to pass.
Whereas, when your grandest and most glorious dreams are BIG-picture items, like rocking abundance, total fulfillment, amazing health, vivacious happiness, and the like, the floodgates of success begin to powerfully tremble and your manifestation becomes inevitable.
Hark... a tremor I do detect...
    The Universe

You so deserve even more "powerful trembling," Laurel.

Friday, January 4, 2013

Sometimes one can learn

In all things, Laurel, always and forever... just kidding!! You've read that line enough in the past two weeks. ;)

For today's all new, never before seen Note...
Sometimes one can learn much more about life, love, and happiness, when they're single than when they're in a relationship, when they're looking for work than when they're working, when they're confused than when they're clear, and so on...
And if they allow themselves to learn what there is to learn, rather than resist, Laurel, their life will be transformed, and that which was, will be no longer.
So happy for you,
    The Universe

You see, Laurel, being where and who you now are, with what you now have and lack, is exactly where you need to be in order for your kingdom to come.

Thursday, January 3, 2013

Know that it was

In all things, Laurel, always and forever, simply wish the best for all involved, without stating what you think that is.

And then, whatever does happen, no matter what happens, know that it was.
All the best,
    The Universe

Because you're always heard, Laurel, and because the best for everyone is my only speed.

Wednesday, January 2, 2013

Can you believe

Laurel, can you believe it's already January?
That it's Wednesday, again?
That as you read these very words, somewhere in the world there are waves crashing, eagles soaring, lilacs blooming, and friends laughing so hard tears are streaming down their faces?
That your life has been changing so swiftly?
That you're absolutely gorgeous, inside and out?
That your new new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop came so quickly?
That others who now want to have more money than I need and begin saving, emulate how you did it?
That peace, love, and happiness are flourishing around the world?
Yeah, Laurel, I thought you would.
    The Universe

Haven't things always changed fast for you, Laurel?

Tuesday, January 1, 2013

Happy New Year

Dearest Laurel, I was about to wish that your every dream come true. That you find yourself surrounded by friends, laughter, and good times. I almost wished that your every cup runneth over financially, romantically, spiritually, and creatively. That good health be your faithful companion, peace your guarded ally, and love your perpetual guide. When suddenly, it dawned on me that as an infinite, powerful, fun-loving gladiator of the Universe, with eternity before you and the power of your thoughts to help shape it... it's you Laurel Stone, who will be granting wishes this year.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6...
    The Universe

Oh, Laurel, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR anyway!
