What if...

What if, as much as I am the Alpha, the Omega, and everything in between, Laurel, I was also your thoughts? Not just in them. Not just riding upon them. Not just what they manifest. But I was actually the thoughts, themselves? Would it be easier for you to see how far you can send them? How unlimited they are? How dependable? Nonjudgmental? Infallible? Supreme? How potentially healing, nurturing, and magical they are? Would it be easier to see how powerful you are, Laurel? The Universe Not what you expected, Laurel? Does that surprise you? Anywho, choose "me" wisely.

Sometimes....

Sometimes, Laurel, when people say they aren't tired, they really are. Sometimes when they say they don't care, they really care. And sometimes when they say they don't know, they do... but they'd rather not. Yeah, most of the time. The Universe Laurel, think they'll receive this one?

Living in time and space

Living in time and space, Laurel, just might be the scariest, most heartbreaking, and lonely path an angel could ever choose. Until, of course, they realize that being scared doesn't mean they can't make a difference, broken hearts can still love just fine, and that feeling lonely doesn't mean they're actually alone. Then they'll laugh an angel laugh, fluff their wings, and dare a new dare all over again. Love your halo, The Universe You know how angels are, Laurel, don't you?

When you hear words...

When you hear words that hurt, distract, or disappoint, Laurel, at minimum, a silent whisper of gratitude is due the soul who unwittingly risked friendship with a spiritual giant, so that you might sooner understand that words needn't ever hurt, distract, or disappoint. Tallyho, The Universe A BIG "Yee-haaa!" Laurel, followed by a "High-5" works too, but careful who you share this with.

True life mastery

True life mastery, Laurel, is more a function of knowing what to want, than knowing how to get what you want. What? The Universe Anyone can get stuff, Laurel, but it usually takes an old soul to choose their stuff wisely.

When the walls close in...

Laurel, when walls close in, skies turn gray, and dreams seem like they're awfully far away, you're probably just forgetting that the same "hands" that created the sun, the moon, and the stars, are still holding yours, anxious to help. I simply adore you - The Universe Sorry, Laurel, didn't mean to brag with the "sun, moon, and stars" bit... but you have to admit they turned out pretty good.

So much to be thankful for

So much to be thankful for, huh, Laurel? Yet so little time. Let me start with you - The Universe And then, Laurel, rainbows, oceans, sunshine, air, inertia, turquoise, gravity, cotton, otters....

Reality is big

Reality is big, Laurel, but your dreams are bigger. Literally, The Universe You came first, Laurel.

How do you feel about groupies

Two of the most important questions for all aspiring rock stars, Laurel, are: How big do you want to be? What are you now doing about it? "Rock stars" being metaphoric for "have more money than I need and begin saving." I just didn't want to immediately flip you out. See you at the stadium, The Universe Oh, and Laurel, how do you feel about groupies?

....the fastest way.

The questions you have to answer, Laurel, pertain to what, where, when, and why. Mine pertain to how and with whom. Fair? The Universe When you know the end result, Laurel, I always know the fastest way.

"send in the clowns."

The world is filled with many colorful characters, Laurel, one or many of whom would be absolutely thrilled to play along in any drama you'd care to create - romantically, socially, financially, comically - any. You just have to let me do the casting - have to. Truly thrilled, The Universe You decide what you want, Laurel, physically move in its direction and I'll "send in the clowns."

Look out world

To what extremes would you go, Laurel, to bring about your heart's fondest wishes, to manifest your greatest desires, and to live your boldest dreams? OMG - Did you just say visualize daily and take baby steps?! Speechless, The Universe Look out world, Laurel's eyes just closed (you are now closing your eyes to visualize), and everything is about to change.

Always there for you

I heard you yesterday, Laurel. I heard you last week, too. I do wish, however, we'd talk more often. Always there for you, The Universe Yes?! You were about to say? I'm always on the edge of my seat for you, Laurel.

Buy more flowers

Quickie Happiness Workshop for Increasing Profits at Times of Seeming Peril: Think as much, if not more, about growing your income as you do of trimming your expenses. And for extra credit, Laurel, focus on customers more than vendors; smiles more than frowns; possibilities more than risks; options more than commitments; vacations more than overtime; detours more than setbacks; opportunities more than obstacles; and Goldilocks more than the bears. End of Workshop - The Universe And on your way home, Laurel, buy more flowers than normal.

Pink tutu and all -

There is a silence, a peace, and a calm that belies every moment, Laurel. You'll find me there. Pink tutu and all - The Universe Actually, you can find me anywhere, Laurel, but there in the silence I'm harder to miss.

Becoming...

You knew there'd be things that would rattle your cage, push your buttons, and rock your boat, Laurel. These would remind you that there's still more to know. Becoming Laurel Stone - The Universe Yeah, Laurel, you also knew there'd be cool people, cute animals, and cheesy pizzas.

Persistence and patience

If one hangs out in time and space long enough, Laurel, they'll inevitably learn it's through the twin gateways of persistence and patience that masters become masters. Of all things, The Universe I mean they become masters of all things, Laurel!

Never regret love

Never regret love, Laurel. No matter how blind, it improved your world view. No matter how foolish, it made you wiser. And no matter how generous, it made you more. Hubba, hubba, The Universe And while we're at it, Laurel, never regret the second scoop - that one's always mine.

So let's get cracking

The entire world will be a richer place, Laurel, once you have more money than I need and begin saving and have your new, faster, fancier, lighter laptop.

We knew this when we helped you pick your dreams.

So let's get cracking,
The Universe

And so you see, Laurel, there is this deep, intrinsic, unidentified yet palpable yearning by the masses for you to have all that you want, and they, unwittingly, are prepared to help.

It matters not...

No one is rewarded more richly in time, space, or beyond, Laurel, than the person who has helped others.

And it matters not whether they helped selflessly or selfishly, for a profit or for free, with an Apple or a Droid.

Help is help,
The Universe


You should see our billionaires, Laurel... Whoooohooooooooooooooo!

Meant by whom?

Some people think, Laurel, that some things are "meant to be."

Meant by whom?

Not me,
The Universe

You can have it all, Laurel.

Give with a glad heart

Give with a truly glad heart, Laurel, for the sole purpose of the good it will do, and whatever you give shall return to you, multiplied, as if on wings, covered in sparkles.

Richly,
The Universe


Just don't expect the beneficiary of your kindness, Laurel, to be the bringer of your new blessings - very rare; not their job; I know faster ways.

Everyone is worthy

The great thing about feeling deep, profound, earthshaking love, Laurel, is that you can start with anyone.

Next,
The Universe

Everyone is worthy, Laurel.
