I immediately thought the angels were letting me know I could relax as the phone was in the car&#8230;.just a matter of locating it.\u00a0 Sure enough, it was in the trunk.\u00a0 How it got there, I can&#8217;t imagine.\u00a0 Besides, I rarely get calls on it.\u00a0 Weeks pass without a single call.\u00a0 It is just used for emergencies.\u00a0 I thought then that maybe my husband had called.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 The caller ID was of an unknown number and area code I wasn&#8217;t familiar with.\u00a0 No message, just a missed call.\u00a0 The timing was impeccable.\u00a0 The ring happened literally within 2 minutes of my request.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Divine intervention?\u00a0 I sure think so!\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kelly added:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #008000;\"> \u201cIt seems that I actually experienced a sort of &#8220;layering&#8221; of MBO&#8217;s last evening.\u00a0 Prior to my grocery shopping, I requested an MBO that I&#8217;d be able to accomplish all I had planned at the store&#8230;finding what I had intended, finding a perfect parking spot, lots of space in the store and quick and moving check out&#8230; (no crowds) so that I could get home swiftly and be able to put together dinner in a relaxed manner without time pressures.\u00a0 Well, The phone ringing in the car immediately let me know I didn&#8217;t have to go back to the store (more time for me).\u00a0 You see, it was in the trunk, but not visible.\u00a0 It was quite dark and under a bag.\u00a0 I wouldn&#8217;t have seen it&#8230; nor looked in the trunk, of all places, had it not rung.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>&#8220;I can just imagine that I would have gone to the store looking and having a fruitless search, not knowing it was in the trunk if it hadn&#8217;t rung.\u00a0 I believe the angels were working on the MBO I previously requested that I could have a leisure dinner preparation time.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, it gets better.\u00a0 My 14 year-old son approached me at the door and was very up beat saying &#8220;I love you mom, repeatedly.\u00a0 More than usual and it seemed to instill a leisure\/calm mood in me after such a busy day.\u00a0 In fact, He willingly helped me make dinner!\u00a0 That is an all new occurrence.\u00a0 So all of these situations show how this leisure time request was honored too.\u00a0 I am so grateful!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201dThank you sooooo much for introducing this concept to the world.\u00a0 It is wonderful.\u00a0 Many, many thanks.\u201d <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Please don\u2019t doubt for a minute that this was her Guardian Angel assisting her.\u00a0 I\u2019ve found over the past few years that these<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> \u201cwhole soul golden light beings\u201d<\/span> have amazing powers beyond our knowledge.\u00a0 They\u2019re even able to appear physically in whatever form they wish if one of their \u201cclients\u201d is in trouble.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And one more point, they don\u2019t particularly care for the term \u201cGuardian Angel,\u201d although I use the term.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t know what I would be referring to if I said, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cServants of the Creator,\u201d<\/span> which they prefer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>ASKING ONCE IS FINE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>John writes:\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cTom, I have been wondering how often one should repeat a request for a benevolent outcome, be it from your Guardian Angle or other beings, guides and masters?\u00a0 I have often read that to ask again and again is undermining your request and shows a lack of faith.\u00a0 In other words ask once and know it is done.

Now I was brought up in your typical Italian-American family and we believed in angels and guardian angels, that things happen for a reason, that you should just trust things work out for the best, etc. so my initial conversation with my friend resonated as \u201ctruth\u201d with me. (Even though I no longer follow Catholicism, I \u201ckept\u201d some of the things that I still believed in, which included angels. Even my cat\u2019s name is Angelica!)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cOver the years, I have had many miraculous happenings. I have often said, my guardian angel must want to put in for a job change because of all the difficult situations she\u2019s helped me out with. So why would I even buy\/read your book? I mean you\u2019d be preaching to the choir because I already have my experiences, right? Well here\u2019s the deal\u2026I never was taught I could ask my guardian angel for things! I just thought guardian angels\u2019 roles were to be there, \u201con-call,\u201d if you will and would show up when necessary.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201dIt\u2019s kind of odd now that I think about, because I was taught you could pray to saints and your prayers would be answered, you could pray to The Blessed Mother, ditto on the prayers answered thing, but no one ever suggested you could do that with a guardian angel. And, after awhile you almost forget they are there for you unless some life saving thing comes up. So thank you; you showed me that I was underutilizing my guardian angel\u2026I could ask for things and they didn\u2019t even have to be \u201cbig important\u201d things. So, here\u2019s the story of the benevolent outcome\u2026actually two\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cI know you said to start with a small request, but the day I learned about requesting MBO\u2019s, I actually had a big thing, so I thought, why not? Back in late summer, my car\u2019s ABS (anti lock braking system) light came on and there was an odd noise. My mechanic told me a sensor had defaulted, and the anti lock brake system wouldn\u2019t work. Since it was an expensive proposition, I asked if I could hold off on repairs. He said I could but that when winter (I live where we get a lot of snow) came, I should get it fixed, for obvious safety reasons.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201dMid November came and so did the snow. I had an appointment to get my snow tires on and he said it really was time to fix the ABS. Quite honestly, the cost was a bit prohibitive at that particular time, but I scheduled it anyways, thinking the $$ would come.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>&#8220;The night before my appointment, which is when I found out about MBO\u2019s, I requested a benevolent outcome so that I would be safe, even if I decided not to do the ABS repair (I would just rely on pumping brakes, if needed, like we did in the old days) and asked for the outcome to be better than what I could even anticipate. Well, the next morning, I got in my car and the ABS light wasn\u2019t on and the noise was gone! I brought it into the shop and nothing was wrong with the ABS, so I just had the snow tires put on. It\u2019s now been about 2 months and all is still well with the car. Wow! Who knew my guardian angel knew car mechanics! Boy have I said thank you, thank you, thank you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>&#8220;I\u2019ve had several other interesting MBO\u2019s happen since I\u2019ve started what you suggested. But here\u2019s another, <em>is this really possible?!<\/em> one for you. I have an air filter\/purifier in my bedroom that I use nightly.\u00a0 It\u2019s old, but I keep it because it has a particular hum to it that I\u2019ve gotten used to and it helps me sleep. The model isn\u2019t one they even make anymore, because people like the quieter ones, but you can still get replacement filters for the old model.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>&#8220;The other night, I turned on the air filter and I heard a weird noise, like a motor dying and it didn\u2019t work. I tried turning it on &amp; off several times to no avail. That night I found it a little difficult falling asleep because I didn\u2019t have the soothing hum of it. So, I asked for an MBO that by tomorrow night it was working again (I mean I had just spent $100 on the replacement filters a couple months ago and hated to have them go to waste).\u00a0 Tom, the next night when I turned the air filter on, it was working! Unbelievable! Thank you, thank you, thank, you! Who knows, maybe it will just keep working until I use all the purchased filters up! I not only have a mechanical guardian angel, but she\u2019s ecological, too!\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I love all your stories everyone!\u00a0 We are all creating a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">More Benevolent, Gentle World together!\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Please send me your MBO stories, as they inspire others to live The Gentle Way!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Have a Most Benevolent Week!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom T.
