Universe: Hi Honey Bear! How much honey have you eaten today?

Honey Bear: What do you mean by how much? How do I measure?

Universe:

Honey Bear: I would like more, always.

Universe: Okay.

Honey Bear: But it’s so hard to get up to the honeycombs.

Universe: Uh huh.

Honey Bear: Do you know how I could get more?

Honey Bee: Buzzzzzzzzzzz.

Honey Bear: *puzzled look* *waiting for the Universe to respond*

Dear Universe,

I’ve been listening to Abraham Hicks and I was wondering if you could help me get into vibrational alignment to receive more honey. The last time we spoke I didn’t feel like I understood what you were trying to tell me. I am trying my best everyday and I just can’t seem to figure out how I am going to get more honey that I want. I’m mad. And all these bees just keep getting buzzier and buzzier just making me mader each and every day flaunting their honeycombs at me. Driving me bonkers!!! Please send help, I feel so down and in the dumps. I don’t feel like doing anything. I feel so alone with no help to be able to reach my dreams of endless honey. The only thing I can do throughout the day is get my honey and then go back down to sleep, that’s it. Then the next day, same thing. It just doesn’t make sense.

Sincerely,

Honey Bear

“Hello? This is Honey Bear.”

“Hi, Honey Bear, this is the Universe calling. I just received your letter in the mail.”

“Oh, hi! Thanks so much for calling. I have been having the worst time and this is just so wonderful that you are here now to tell me the answers to my questions. Before this I stepped on a dead bee and the stinger pricked my foot. My foot has a heartbeat. I am still working on getting more honey and…”

The Universe interjects abruptly and says, “Honey Bear.”

Honey Bear pauses. Silence on the phone.

Honey Bear starts to fill the space with a, “heell o?” But before Honey Bear could finish saying hello, the Universe started playing “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey through the phone line.

With a puzzled look on Honey Bear’s face, the buzzing bumble bee smiled in the corner of the room.

This is Baby Bear’s first outing for honey and ze is extremely excited. Every day since Baby Bear has been born Honey Bear has told many stories of the struggles and triumphs of finding and eating delicious honey. As they approach the Land of Honeycombs Baby Bear begins to jump and squeal with excitement. Honey Bear settles Baby Bear down quickly as she sees a dangerous Grizzle Bear in close proximity.

Baby Bear must wait for another day to experience the joy of finding honey in the Land of Honeycombs. The first disappointment in Baby Bears life.
