Patience is cool!

The BIG THING, Laurel, rarely happens when you ask for it, nor does it typically come from who or where you expect. It usually comes a bit later, from someone you didn't even know when you first asked, as a result of some weird turn of events that were impossible to foresee. So, chill. Be patient. Enjoy the moment. And let your friends, employers, and partners off the hook. Besides, they're going to have enough to deal with when the BIG THING does arrive, if you know what I mean. Won't be long,     The Universe

Patience is cool, Laurel. Really cool.

Love...

Thanks, Laurel, for every single time you ever fell in love.

Whether or not it was obvious. Whether or not it lasted. And whether or not you were loved back.

It changed everything.
You changer,
The Universe

Actually, Laurel, you're always loved back....

"Undo" or "Do"?

Now, I have to admit that among inventions, the "Undo" button is right up there with the very greatest of all time, but it'll never compare to the "Do" button, from which worlds are born.

Laurel, this is your chance!
2010, Baby -
The Universe

Plus, Laurel, even while some things can't be undone, you can ALWAYS start anew.

A vision and baby steps...

I understand, Laurel, that you must wonder, sometimes to the point of bewilderment, at what you're truly capable of doing. Yet, therein lies the "problem," because living the life of your dreams is far more about what I'm capable of doing.
Surrender -
The Universe

Laurel, all I need from you is a vision, followed by an unending march of little, tiny baby steps in its direction.

The fruit and the tree

I love watching when you walk into a room, Laurel.
How faces light up.

People "inexplicably" feeling better about themselves.

Angels singing Hallelujah.

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?

I'm the tree,
The Universe

And you're the fruit, Laurel.

2010 is the year!

2010 Customized Abundance Advisory and Relativity Alert for Laurel Stone (shhhh...)

Soon, for you Laurel, hundred dollar bills in forgotten blue jean pockets will be as plentiful as singles are in your wallet today. Earning an extra five thousand for lending a hand will only be as challenging as earning five hundred, today. And then, before you can even ask, "Who let the bucks out?!" you'll have as many millions in the bank as there are meters in a mile, popes in the Vatican, and stairways to heaven.
Yet still, you'll be loved most for being a great friend.

That's just how you roll,
The Universe

And every day, Laurel, will feel like Friday... but not just because you're really, really rich.

What would you wish for?

If given just one wish for the New Year, Laurel, knowing you could wish for anything at all and that whatever you wished for was GUARANTEED to come true... would you wish for all things to be EXACTLY as they are?

Me too.
We bad,
The Universe

As things are now, Laurel, you've still got forever, your thoughts become things, and not only do most people around you have golden intentions... but they really, really like you.

Another Year! Dream Bigger!

I want you to know, Laurel, that I've ordered up another year for you.
Think I'll call it 2010.

I'm going to put most of the same people of 2009 in it, since you all think so much alike. But there'll also be a few new, very cool cats coming to play - give them some time to grow up though.

And I'm going to have things start off pretty much exactly where they left off in 2009, for continuity's sake. Flips folks out too much when I don't.

All in all, 365 more days in paradise... and only one request of you:

DREAM BIGGER. Coolio?

Let's do this,
The Universe

Bigger than even your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop., Laurel, since that's pretty much in the bag now.

Life is a Dream....

Have you ever noticed how folks instinctively know that creating wealth is much more fun than spending it, yet they dream more about spending it than they do about creating it?
Could it be, Laurel, they've momentarily forgotten that they're supernatural, that they can have whatever they want, and that life is but a dream?

2010 is all yours, baby -
The Universe

...that they have wings, that they can fly, Laurel, and that they have me?

Bring on 2010!

I've got a feeling, Laurel, that 2010 is going to be your kind of year. That you'll be happier than you've ever been, laughing harder, smiling wider, standing taller, walking lighter, dancing crazier, hugging longer, living grander, loving louder, and if you want, selling the pictures to a tabloid to raise money for your new charity.
Can you feel it, too?
The Universe

And, Laurel, you're going to remember this email when Ellen's interviewing you, right after you both dance like spring chickens, sitting on her couch, in front of 14 million viewers, and you're going to tell her, "First, I got this Note from the Universe about hugging longer and loving louder... That's RIGHT!!!! T U T dot C O M! You got the same one?"
