THE GENTLE WAY BOOKS

Welcome to this week’s edition of my Benevolent Outcomes Blog, and welcome to everyone who subscribed in the past week.  This Blog is for people just discovering how to use a very simple, yet powerful and effective spiritual tool you can use every day the rest of your life.  It will lessen the stress and fear of life in general, and will make your life easier.  It’s so simple a lot of people say “It can’t be this easy,” but it is, because IT WORKS! This reconnects you with your Guardian Angel, or higher power, or whatever your belief is.  You simply say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for…….., thank you!” When you read the stories below, sent from all over the world, we use the acronym MBO for Most Benevolent Outcomes, GA for Guardian Angel, and BP for Benevolent Prayers (what you ask for other people).

AUSTIN WORKSHOP:  JUNE 11, SATURDAY–10:00 AM-5:00 PM–ROUND ROCK, TEXAS (16 MILES NORTH OF AUSTIN) $75 in advance or $85 at the door.  People are already signing up for this event and space is limited, so you may wish to sign up TODAY!  Full day about MBO’s, BP’s, and other Tools for your Tool Box plus a guided meditation to contact your own Guardian Angel or Guide.  More information CONTACT KIM at kim@sanctuaryoftheawakenedsoul.com  or telephone 303-917-6093.

HOUSTON WORKSHOP SCHEDULED: I will be speaking at the Soul Explosion & Living Green Expo in Houston, Texas on July 30 and 31. Plus I will also have a half-day workshop that Saturday afternoon July 30.  It will be held in the Galleria.  Go to http://www.thegentlewaybook.com/appearance.htm to sign up for either THE Austin or Houston workshop.

Subscribing to this blog is easy, just go to http://www.gentlewaybook.com/blog/?feed=rss2 .  I also email a weekly newsletter with more advanced topics, which you can subscribe to by going to http://TheGentleWayBook.com.  Here you can also read a couple of sample chapters of my first book to give you more suggestions on requesting MBO’s.  Please forward this blog to your friends if you enjoy reading it.  In the Articles & News section I have a new Search Function you can use to search all my articles and newsletters by simply entering a word or phrase.  And be sure to request to be my Friend on Facebook.  I give extra information during the week there.

If you like forum discussions, I’ve been asked recently to post on one devoted to discussions about Benevolent Outcomes.  Perhaps one day we’ll have a forum on the website, but here is the link to this one for now:  http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/psychic-paranormal/57266-gentle-way-requesting-most-benevolent-outcomes.html

Please email me your MBO stories to show others how to use this simple tool.  Now for some inspiring stories.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY MBO

Teresa from Austin here.  I just wanted to send an email about the value of habitually saying MBOs.  I say MBOs daily, every time I get in the car, before I start projects, and for business.  My husband had a medical emergency last month, he passed out and fell hard on the floor and was unconscious but moaning horribly.  It was early in the morning and I was asleep, but the noise woke me, and I immediately ran into the living room (half asleep);  I saw him laying on the floor, bleeding (he had a gash in his head from the fall), still moaning and still unconscious.  Probably because I am so in the habit of saying MBOs, I had the presence of mind to say a short one (I really don’t even remember exactly what I said).  About 30 seconds later I was getting ready to call 911 but my husband became conscious, sat up and was lucid and said he was not in any pain.

We went to the emergency room where  cat scans showed that he had blood clots heavily in BOTH lungs.  Several doctors have said that he is the luckiest guy in the world to have survived that event.  Also, this happened just three days before he was going on an international flight and high altitude airplane flights and prolonged sitting can actually cause or worsen blood clots.  My husband normally has excellent health, but he had a back disc issue and was unable to exercise for several months and he was sitting in front of the computer for extended periods.  We now know you should get up every 20 to 30 minutes and stretch.

Anyway, I know this is pretty long but I just wanted to let you know that I believe the MBO request really made a difference and I think my husband’s Guardian Angel was working overtime to keep him safe.  I also realize it must not have been in his soul contract to cross over.  I will see you in Roundrock on June 11, looking forward to it!

MBO’S WHILE TRAVELING

AG on the forum writes:  For my trip to Macedonia I have requested, as you suggested, to have one of the best trips I have had so far. And I had, the most impressive being the way I have changed all the planes involved.

To Skopje I had to change three planes and each time there was someone who was going to the same exact place and could tell me how to catch on time the next connection. On the last plane, I sat next to a man who instantly became my soulmate. We exchanged visit cards and we’ll see what this friendship will turn into.

On the way back, the plane from Skopje to Prague was late and there were 20 minutes left to change in an airport, which is pretty big. However, on the same plane Skopje-Prague there were two of my male colleagues. One of them ran as fast as he could to the counter to say that we were late. They had already cancelled us from the flight, but once my colleague was there, they have waited for us and we got back to France safely.

During the whole trip I had this feeling that people were happy to see me, I have exchanged cards with some people I met in the hotel and I just felt that I was protected.  In addition, I had a lovely sauna and jacuzzi there!

When I write this, I smile and I am looking forward for new opportunities to use MBO’s.

I loved AG’s travel story. I haven’t told this story before, but I think this is a good place for it.  As I have mentioned before, requesting MBO’s keeps you on your soul “contract” as my GA Theo calls it–I used to call it soul path. And that means if you try and go off track it will not allow you to, as keep in mind that your soul contract is what YOU set up before this life for the most learning, experiences, knowledge, challenges, etc.

I spent two years trying to raise money for a package of World War II movies that a friend of mine in Paris and I had optioned the book rights to film. I traveled to Budapest, Prague (both beautiful cities), Cannes, Los Angeles, etc. to try to raise the money. One city I visited was St. Petersburg, Russia trying to convince a production company to put up part of the money to film there. Like all the other places I visited I was turned down, even though I requested MBO’s each time. But St. Petersburg was special anyway and what a great MBO it was, even though I had to look back later to see what a great experience it was.

I flew directly from the states to Frankfurt and then St. Petersburg, so I was jet-lagged, but the president of the company picked me up at the airport. As we traveled out of the airport there was a billboard advertising a Paul McCartney concert the very next day in front of the Hermitage Museum (there had never been a concert there before). I asked if there were any tickets left and they said they doubted it, but we went to the ticket office and naturally I requested a MBO. I got the last seat in the first 24 rows, right of center! We went on and they showed me various locations for filming, and the next morning I did a walking tour of the city and the Hermitage Museum, guided by one of the producer’s staff.

That early evening I proceeded to the concert. We experienced a pouring rain before it started and everyone was wet, but it didn’t matter. Paul put on a great show, and can you imagine listening to “Back in the USSR” sung to Russians–what a great time! Paul had been wearing a “No More Mines” t-shirt and at the end of the performance I was approached by a Russian, who spoke almost no English. He said, “T-shirt–Mines–Russia?” I got to do my tiny part for world peace and said, “No–World,” and gestured a world with my hands.  Here’s a link to that performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrncuWmt7-g

I finally asked my GA Theo why I had never been able to put together the package of films and he said that had I taken that path I would never have reached the number of people I’ll benevolently affect with my books and speaking.

I do encourage all of you to get out and see the world. You’ll find people all over the planet are much more the same than different, and you’ll certainly feel more in tune with everyone.  And requesting MBO’s will keep you on your soul path YOU CHOSE before birth.

MBO FOR COMPRESSING TIME

Iris writes:  I had a seminar to attend and left on time. I noticed I left my wallet on the coffee table and had to go back. I was trying to make it 35 miles away by 7pm ( at the tail end of rush hour)and once I retrieved the wallet it was 6:17pm. I know… it takes at least 1 hour to get to my destination so I repeated an MBO that specified that time be compressed. I did not look at the clock and miraculously arrived at 6:55! Thank you angels for altering time so that I was not late!

If you’re running late, or need more time to finish a project or assignment, you can say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for a compression of time until (specify the time), thank you!” Then don’t look at a clock or watch.  You are cocreating and bending time!  Try it, it works, just as it did for Iris!

MBO FOR FLAT TIRE

Patricia writes:  Went to Havasu yesterday and had a blowout on one of my tires.  We got it safely off the road and everyone was ok. I had to buy not one, but two new tires, and all was well. Was grateful that all was ok and that we were protected. Thank you angels I appreciate all of you.

GREAT RESULTS IN ONE WEEK!

Christa-marie writes:  In your latest newsletter you asked Theo about the amount of MBO’s one can ask. I have asked many of the ones repeatedly but felt that there were blocks, and that I’m missing something important about the process. Then I remembered having read something in the Gentle Way thread on the Steve Pavlina site’s forum. You or someone explained that better results will be achieved by asking an MBO for every ‘aspect’ of the issue at hand, usually a big or complex one. I started doing this with incredible results! To identify an issue, I pay close attention to the thoughts or emotions that pop up after I’ve asked the first MBO. I ‘work’ at these till I feel peaceful or just a sense that that I’ve covered all the bases. It really works for me! I even use my dreams to guide me in the process.

Since I started using the Gentle Way method only a week ago, specifically doing the above, I have experienced an enormous shift in myself. Emotionally I am much more peaceful, spiritually no other method/ technique has helped raise my awareness of and connection to my guides, angels, well, Everything! more, and my whole life is changing for the better in a big way. Not to speak of help with the smaller, everyday things 🙂

Thank you so much for being the teacher of this wonderful Gentle Way, and also for dedicating yourself to introduce this to as many people as possible. And thank you, Theo, for assisting Tom to do this!

MECHANICS MBO

Sunny writes:  Just had my car for inspection today – had a quote for 385Euros . When I dropped the car of I did a MBO and asked for a cheaper price when I pick it up …Even though I had no hopes for this one to come true as usually it will be a little more for extras not considered but in this case it worked ..AGAIN

With little extras not quoted I paid 350Euros.

Now for this week’s inspiring stories.

TRAVELING WITH YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL

Each year I travel to Cannes, France for an international TV and Video market held there.  The one I am writing about was an uneventful trip (thanks to requesting Benevolent Outcomes) with two exceptions. I had the little “whisper in my ear” from my Guardian Angel Theo in Frankfurt while waiting for my connection that my watch was going to stop working, and I remember thinking (I was foggy from being on a plane overnight) that at least it had lasted for 20 years. Then I awoke from a nap while waiting and discovered the watch had stopped and it was only 25 minutes until boarding time.

Upon arrival in Cannes, I headed for the Rolex store nearby to see if it could be fixed (after requesting a MBO). I was having a hard time finding the address and stopped in another watch store to ask directions. After finding the store a few doors down, I was told it would take four to six weeks and a minimum of 400 to 600 Euros ($600 to $900) for the repair. I know prices in the USA are lower, so I headed back to the other store and bought the least expensive watch they had to tide me over until my watch is repaired. Had I not stopped in for directions, I would not have known where to go for a less expensive watch—a nice Benevolent Outcome!

The next night I ate at a pizza and Italian food restaurant near the “old” port in Cannes. There are a lot of these in the area, as Italy is just an hour drive or so away, just past Monte Carlo. I pulled my reading glasses out of the case and the lens on the left side, along with the screw, dropped out on the table. The screw rolled off the table and even with two waiters assisting me we couldn’t find it. I requested a Benevolent Outcome and luckily the print on the menu was large enough to read.

The next morning I asked the front desk where to have the glasses repaired, and was advised there was a store only one block away. The repair person replaced the screw and even the pads, which she said were yellow, and at no charge! It was a nice MBO. I do know from similar things happening like this before that I set these little challenges up on a higher self level in order to force me out of my routine, which also allows me to speak French; I am only able to use my French two times a year now. I used to also attend the Cannes Film Festival, but my lower budgeted regional films didn’t sell well there, as that is a market for art films and for films with highly recognizable stars, so I stopped attending.

After my book was published I started receiving emails from people with there own Benevolent Outcome stories.  One of the first was from David in St. Louis.  He said that he had requested a Benevolent Outcome for getting through a security line at the airport with no problems. When he reached the person who checks boarding passes and ID’s, she opened up a line that had only been used for airline crews and he was the first person through the line.  Then he requested a MBO for someone interesting to sit next to on the plane coming back from South Africa and had a great conversation with someone that put on metaphysical events.

The first time I tried it was coming back from Washington, DC from a bookstore convention.  I wound up sitting next to the buyer for a chain of bookstores and was able to show him my book and sell sheet, which resulted in sales.  With that success I have requested MBO’s to meet interesting people many times in my travels.

In Cannes, at the Italian restaurant I mentioned above, I requested a MBO to sit next to someone interesting, knowing that a lot of my colleagues were arriving for the market.  When I arrived I was seated at a table by the wall with empty tables next to me.  After my experience with my glasses, two young ladies came in to eat and instead of sitting one table away from me, sat down next to me.  We started talking and they were also there for the TV market, and came from Toronto, Canada.  The talk eventually led to a discussion about Benevolent Outcomes and one of the ladies, named Jenna, said that her mother had just returned from Sedona (one of my favorite places)!  Jenna and her friend Valerie said they would try requesting Benevolent Outcomes for their meetings.  A couple of days later I received an email from Jenna saying that the requests were going great.  In later emails she has continued to request them.

I also went to a reception the PBS station in New York has each market at a penthouse that overlooks the whole bay of Cannes.  I again requested a MBO to talk to someone interesting, and there were plenty of interesting people there. I eventually went to dinner with five ladies, mostly in South American sales and TV broadcasting.  One of the ladies promised to put me in touch with their dubbing service in Argentina and she told them to tell them to give me the same rate they have.   These are just examples of how many ways there are to request Benevolent Outcomes in your work and life.  Make it a HABIT!

Note on my last scheduled trip to Cannes in early April: I had bought my badge for the market and requested a Most Benevolent Outcome for my trip there. Then I kept hearing about how many of my potential clients were not going to attend, plus I had started negotiations on two extremely large deals for my company—either of which would surpass any normal business I would do at the market; I felt that I could not justify the expense of going and not being able to continue these negotiations and canceled my hotel reservation.

I’m sure you heard how people were stuck all over Europe and were not able to fly because of the volcanic ash cloud.  As you read above, I normally connect through either Frankfurt or Paris, and I would have been stuck in Cannes for at least an additional 5 to 7 days before being able to fly back to the USA, as I heard a number of my colleagues were.  This was DEFINITELY a big MBO for me!

BENEVOLENT OUTCOMES BLOG #4

IN THIS BLOG:

TRIP TO THE FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR

The Gentle Way Books

The Gentle Way Books

Welcome to this edition of my Benevolent Outcomes Blog.  This Blog is to help introduce people to the concept of requesting Benevolent Outcomes in your life on a daily basis.  By doing so, you’ll be reconnecting with your Guardian Angel, who will assist you with the most mundane requests, like a parking space at a busy mall during the Christmas Holiday season (which might not seem so mundane if you have driven up and down rows of parked cars trying to find a place to park).  Or it can be a much more serious request such as, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for my reunion with my family, thank you!” This is really good to request if there is much conflict in your family.  I use the abbreviation “MBO” for Most Benevolent Outcomes.  You can go to my website www.TheGentleWayBook.com, where you can read two sample chapters of my first book, articles I’ve written for magazines, and much more!

In my last Blog I mentioned that on my 45 minute walk down the Croisette (in Cannes, France) to the New Port, I would say “Bonjour” to a homeless man living next to the sea wall I walked on and he responded. One night I over-ordered at a restaurant and so I had them put it in tin foil (they don’t have to-go boxes, at least not at that restaurant).  This morning I took the sack with me and requested a MBO for not only my walk, but that he would accept the food, as I could not tell how cognizant he was.

He was feeding the pigeons and sea birds as he seems to do each morning.  Are they a bunch of beggars!  They never left the sea wall or surrounding rocks, but kept eyeing him for the next handout.  Luckily I had scooped up all the bread in the basked at the restaurant so he’ll have more to feed them.

I gave him the food, and I was to find out in speaking with him that he was from Berlin and spoke pretty good English.  He had met Laura Bush one time he said before George became President.   He liked her—said she had a good heart, but the Russian president (or? I wasn’t sure) had a hard heart from what I could tell.  He also gave me advice about staying warm in Germany.  Mentioned how St. Moritz was great to ski, and how he had been in Northern Italy, but I couldn’t tell how long he was there.  Said he gets his food from cleaning up after the markets held in Cannes.  Not sure if he is on a clean up crew or just scavenges, but I did see tins of cookies that I had seen in the Palais building (where the TV market and Cannes Film Festival are held).  All in all a conversation that I never imagined having.  It was a nice Benevolent Outcome.

When I booked my hotel to attend the Frankfurt Book Fair, I found the only two star hotel available in the main part of Frankfurt was called the Angel Hotel.  I did chuckle when I booked the hotel and requested a MBO.  It was in a great location only one block from the main train station and a two minute walk to the escalator down under the street and another one minute to the subway or train to the Frankfurt Book Fair.  There are two other hotels on the street and they share the street with a whole line of sex shows, peep shows, etc.  These are rip-off joints according to the hotel owner Mehra that are out to rob the “rubes” who walk in for 1,000 or more Euros (heard as high as 5,000 E).  Will those men and women have some “balancing” (as my Guardian Angel Theo calls it) to do in a future existence!

I had requested a MBO for the room to be ready upon arrival and it was within 10 minutes even though it was still morning.  Another lady that arrived shortly after me was still waiting for her room to be cleaned when I walked out the door headed to the Frankfurt Book Fair.  I had printed a number of press releases about the books in Cannes.  I planned to drop them off at the press office, but wasn’t sure they would let me in as my ticket was not good until the next day.  Naturally I requested a MBO to be allowed entry, and at first the lady refused me entrance and then let me go in.  At the press office the young lady said the charge would be 156 Euros (about $230!) to drop them off.  I pleaded with them to let a poor author put them out and she said come back the next morning at 9:00 am and she would ask her supervisor.  I was having a hard time finding some place to eat, as the restaurants I passed in the Fair were not yet open.  I requested a MBO to find some place open for lunch.  I came upon the Switzerland Café and there were a number of people eating inside.  I got in line and got my food, and then looked around for a place to pay and saw none.   I sat down and started to eat, still searching.  Finally I asked an Italian lady at the next table where to pay, and she said that was a free lunch for participants in an all day seminar.  I wondered why there were so many men dressed in business attire and not casual clothes for setting up the booths (or stands as they are called in Europe)!  A really nice MBO!

I had walked to the book fair, but there was some construction to pass through and cobblestone walks, so since I was dragging a roller bag filled with books, plus my briefcase, I took the “S Bahn” train to the fair grounds.  At 5 minutes to 9:00 am they started letting the large crowd of people inside.  They later reported that the first day attendance was 39,000 + people!  This is the largest market I’ve ever attended, with 15 halls each holding enough stands for a normal convention, with over 7,300 companies exhibiting!  This is 10 times as many as exhibit at the world TV market in Cannes.  At the press office they said not only could I not pay the 156 Euros, but I could not even put press releases out as I’m an author and not an exhibitor.  Keep in mind I requested a MBO, so I accepted what happened wondering where my MBO was.  I almost trashed them, but took them with me.  The MBO was that my publisher had not put in a sell sheet with the books, so I was able to use the press release as a sales sheet!  I wouldn’t have had anything to give to the people that just wanted a card and some literature to refer to about the book.

Naturally I requested MBO’s each morning that the results of my meetings would be even better than I could hope for or expect.  I also requested MBO’s each morning as each afternoon to be led to call on the right companies, as there was no way I was going to make it through all the halls I had listed to visit.

I have already come to a verbal agreement with a publisher in Greece that also publishes the Kryon books—nice synergy.  Plus I have many more that I hope will close in the coming weeks.  I met with my German publisher on Friday, and they said they thought the book will be released in May or June.  And I had chance meetings or was compelled to stop at certain places that should prove fruitful.

As one example, on Friday I was in Hall 8.0 where all the Americans and British have stands, and I stopped to have an orange juice to rest my weary legs.  I sat down at one of those high tables with bar chairs and a young lady sat down there too as it was quite crowded.  We started discussing my book and it seems she works for the largest publisher in Croatia.  She took a book with her and I’ll follow up.

Today I was concerned about getting my three roller bags to the train track and requested a MBO for someone to assist me.  Before I could ask, Mehra volunteered a young man by the name of Handi to assist me with the bags.   He took two of the bags all the way to the spot on track 7 where my car was supposed to stop.

When I arrived at the Munich train station, as I mentioned above, I had only 14 minutes to get from track 1 to track 22, which sounded like a long way.  It took me a couple of minutes to attach two of the bags together and I requested a MBO for assistance in finding the track AND assistance with my bags, as the signs said nothing about a track 22.  I asked a lady passing by and she pointed me towards the “S Bahn” sign, which I was quite familiar with from Frankfurt.  As I started down the escalator with my 3 bags, I noticed a couple with medium size roller bags headed in the same direction and asked if they were going to the airport and they said yes.  I followed them, and the German couple was quite nice and told me which train to take, as there were two that stopped before the airport train.  He even helped me on board with my bags (a nice MBO).  They were headed to Kenya for two weeks for some sort of government work that they had a hard time explaining in English.

During the 40-minute ride I tried to phone the hotel to see about the shuttle van, but the phone would ring and no one picked up.  I requested a MBO for finding the shuttle.  At the airport station the German couple again assisted me in getting the bags out (nice MBO).  I proceeded to the Information counter, where they called the hotel, and told me to sit down, as it could be 10 minutes before pickup.  Less than 2 minutes later a German lady from the hotel called to me and off I went to the shuttle van, which was filled with people whom she had picked up from the train.  I was the last on board and sat up front.  This gave me the opportunity to go in and check in to the hotel instead of standing in line (another MBO).  They gave me my own portable alarm set to 4:30 am, and I requested a MBO to awaken just prior, which I did.

I requested a MBO to sit next to someone interesting to talk to on the flight from Amsterdam back to Dallas-Ft. Worth, and my MBO was that the Dutch man who sat next to me never spoke to me for 10 hours—only in Dutch to a friend across the aisle.  This saved my throat, as I had picked up a chest cold.  I requested a MBO for customs and went through the passport check OK, but the customs guys wanted to check my bags because I listed books on the form.  The MBO was that I got to hear an angel story from one of the customs officers and gave out two business cards for them to go online and read about the book at www.TheGentleWayBook.com.

This is really simple to do, folks, so give it a try.  Start by requesting a Most Benevolent Outcome for your drive to work, or for a seat on a busy train or subway.  Easy steps that will give you immediate feedback that your requests are being answered.

Have a Most Benevolent Week!

TRIP TO CANNES, FRANCE

THE GENTLE WAY BOOKS

THE GENTLE WAY BOOKS

Hi everyone and welcome to this third edition of my continuing blogs about a simple, yet powerful spiritual tool you can use every single day to make your life less stressful, less fearful, and much more enjoyable!  You accomplish this by simply requesting Benevolent Outcomes each day for the mundane things like driving to work each day, for more important things like a business meeting or for having a good day earning tips or making retail sales, to the really important things in your life like requesting the PERFECT JOB for you, the PERFECT HOME for you, and the PERFECT MATE for you.   You can read two sample chapters of my book on my website www.TheGentleWayBook.com.

This blog covers my trip to Cannes, France from London in October on a business trip I take two times a year for a world TV and DVD market, as I do international film and TV program distribution.   It will show you how often you can request Most Benevolent Outcomes (MBO’s) for all sorts of circumstances.

I’ll start at the first, with my flight from London’s Heathrow Airport on KLM with a change of planes in Amsterdam.  I made the mistake of forgetting to ask for a Benevolent Outcome for going through security and was stopped by a security guy and asked to put my roller bag in the metal form to see if it fit.  The wheels made it too long by about one inch or less, and he made me run back to check the bag in at KLM;  I knew I had a problem because of the combined weight of the two checked bags was at the maximum allowed, even though I was traveling business class.

They said I was at my limit and were going to charge me 130 GBP (about $200) overage.  My only option was to run downstairs (along with my roller bag and briefcase) to a store at the far end of the terminal and buy a cloth bag to throw everything into.  Naturally by now I said, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for buying the bag and resolving this problem, thank you!”.  I bought the cheapest bag they had which was 15 GBP (about $24) and ran back upstairs and started transferring virtually everything in the bag over to the cloth bag.  I then attempted to check the small roller bag and it weighed a total of 4 kilos (8.8 pounds).  The supervisor said that they would have given me 2 kilos, but since it was 4 they were going to charge me 50 GBP ($80) for the overage.  I started taking literally everything out of the bag including tissues and putting it on the floor next to the bag.  The two supervisors were called away and the lady at the counter told me to quickly give her the bag before they returned and she checked it.  That was the Benevolent Outcome to that problem!

Next back to the security line and of course I requested a MBO.  The guy who had made me return to the airline counter let me up to the front of the line, even though he said KLM had not paid for “fast track.”  I made the flight with time to spare and had a pleasant chat with a lady to Amsterdam (naturally I requested a MBO for someone interesting to talk to).  I had a long layover in Amsterdam before taking the flight to Nice, which I spent in a KLM lounge with free drinks and food.

I had requested a MBO for my bags to come out quickly in Nice and they did come out in plenty of time to make the bus to Cannes, which was filled with people going to the TV market.  I had requested a MBO to sit next to someone interesting, and I wound up sitting next to the British chap I had sat next to on the plane from London to Nice last March!  We still may do some business.  He even dragged one of my bags to my hotel, as he was traveling very light (what a great MBO!).  I showed him where to pick up his badge on our way, as he did not have his yet, and I was able to pick up my Guide book with everyone listed who was attending the market; this meant I did not have to return to pick it up, a very nice MBO!

One problem I had before commencing my trip was that when the head of the New York Reed Midem office had left in May or June, the new people denied giving me a “Platinum” card which allowed me to have meetings in the VIP Club.  After experiencing congestive heart failure (and a MBO of a full recovery) in 2006, my doctor said he didn’t want me to have the stress of having a booth or “stand” as they’re called in Europe.  I decided I could use the Buyers Club if needed, but requested a MBO when I twice emailed the head of the TV department at Reed Midem requesting the Platinum card.  I never received a response from her, so as I TRUST MBO’s to work PERFECTLY, I knew the Buyers Club would be best, and it was.  I met several buyers there that were not on my list of 60 appointments I had for the 4 days of the market and we had meetings either when there were no-shows for appointments, or in the few remaining times I had left.  Needless to say I was exhausted each night, as I didn’t leave until about 7:00 pm.  I did reconnect with the two young ladies from Canada I mentioned in my weekly newsletter last year at the Buyers Club and they’re still requesting MBO’s.

Monday night I was invited to a buffet dinner at the Majestic Hotel Beach and requested an MBO for someone to talk to.  I met an interesting gentleman by the name of Julius who does the PR for the World Music Awards each year in Monaco.   He says I should be drinking a glass of water each day with cayenne pepper, so I’ll have to investigate that.

I shipped a box weighing 17 kilos to Frankfurt, so I would not have to pay 10 Euros ($14.70) per kilo overage on Lufthansa.  This proved to be a MBO, as I had to roll three bags to my hotel in Frankfurt from the train station.  More on that in the next blog.

I did a 45 minute walk each morning after the Cannes Market finished all the way from my hotel to the end of the sea wall at the “new port” as they call it and back.  I walked along the Croisette before sunrise, but still daylight.  It was interesting to see all the big hotels that line the Cannes beach, but also the cruise ships that lie off shore and all the people preparing the restaurants that sit directly on the beach for the day.  I requested a MBO each morning for my walk to be interesting and it varied each day.

Much work and deliveries happens, with the sidewalk washed each morning by the “city jet” crew with a small water truck that went down the sidewalk with them, the garbage men picking up the trash in the bins that line the sidewalk, the crew building a large temporary structure on the beach, probably for a large party for the upcoming Duty Free Market the following week, walkers, joggers, and even a homeless man that sleeps against the seawall I walk on top of heading for the huge yachts at the end of the wall.  He’s a real character that feeds the birds and somehow fixes what appears to be tea, in a glass cup and saucer.  I said “bonjour” to him each day and he cackled a “bonjour” back to me.  He had clothes and lots of other things spread out on the huge boulders that lie against the walkway below the sea wall. More about him in the next blog.

Until then, have a Most Benevolent Week, and a Most Benevolent Thanksgiving!
