THE CONTACT
15 May to 21 May 2012
Money doesn't make the world go round. Only love really does that. Think of the force that put you on this planet. Imagine the energy that gave you life. What, other than extreme generosity, was the whole of this cosmic creation drawing upon when it allowed you to become a human and to live in this world? That same amazing, 'divine' love now lives in your own heart. Don't doubt that. Let it live in you. You've now got a chance to shine like a star, to melt hearts, remove obstacles and share joyous experiences. Enjoy! !!!
Soon another day will
dawn. And then another. That's what days do. They dawn and then, eventually, they come to a close. It is now beginning to seem as if each passing day is a test of your strength and endurance. If you can just about manage to get through one day at a time without succumbing to a negative emotion or a pressing worry, you will feel mildly triumphant. You wish you could be more constructive, relaxed and more able to enjoy yourself. Yet, in allowing time to pass, you are engaging in
a very healing process. !!!
Whose wall is your picture pinned up on? Who gets a little twinkle in their eye each time your name is mentioned? And don't, please, say 'nobody'. Maybe you don't feel inclined to reciprocate. Maybe you are not impressed by who is impressed with you. But you have an admirer. Maybe not just one. What is wrong with that? Even people who are fully committed, monogamous couples are allowed to draw appreciative glances! You deserve the admiration you are now inspiring. Let it be for you whatever it needs to be. !!!
In your hand is a glorious prize. You now deserve the chance to revel in this hard-won gain. Just ahead of you there is a hole in the road. What is it doing there? Who has dug it? Why are there no barriers to prevent unsuspecting travellers from falling into it? You are so indignant about this potential pitfall, that all your positive energy is being diverted from its more natural home. Yet it poses no threat to you, and
you can easily take steps to help make it safe for others. Don't be robbed of your magic moments. !!!
If you want more love in your life, let there be less criticism in your mind. Don't lower your standards. Don't ignore what you mustn't accept. But do question your own inclination to question someone - or something, in every way. You have the power to make a situation become sweet or sharp. You have the ability to win someone over or make them mad at you. Don't give that gift away. Own it. Make it work for you. Trust your own ability to be charming. And you'll find you can cast a spell that breaks down a big barrier.
!!!
Some people don't make themselves very easy to love. They have so many barriers, defences and self- protection mechanisms that they scare away almost all who reach out to them. Others appear to be much more open and approachable. It is only when you get to know them really well that you begin to see how their fears are intimidating them. You are conscious now of a
UK crackdown on NRI 'criminal landlords'
such 'tenants' face exploitation and are unable to approach authorities due to their own illegal immigration status. Shapps promised "Criminal landlords trapping vulnerable people in 'suburban shanty-towns' will get the justice they deserve", and said the fund will help "tackle the problem head-on and end this growing practice by ruthless landlords". Shapps appealed to councils who may have turned a blind eye in the past to 'beds in sheds', to use this funding and the range of powers at their disposal, to tackle the issue.
Explaining the situation, a release from Shapps office said: "'Beds in sheds' are often rented to migrants, including

Their foreign 'tenants' often find it difficult to return home quickly after destroying their passports to avoid removal". It added: "With few other options, they will put up with cramped conditions, dodgy wiring and poor sanitation as an alternative to life on the streets". Shapps said that the 1.8 million pounds fund would help the worst affected councils "flush out those who exploit migrants at their most vulnerable".
The councils identified are: Brent, Ealing, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Newham, Peterborough, Redbridge, Slough, and Southwark. Shapps said: "I'm determined to flush out criminal landlords who think they can make an
easy buck from cramped, cockroach-ridden outhouses. The scandal of 'beds in sheds' must come to an end". He added: "In the 21st century it simply isn't acceptable that people should be forced to live in such squalid and unsanitary conditions. That's why I've allocated 1.8 million pounds to help councils in the worst affected areas crack down on this cruel exploitation". Shapps said that the taskforce, including the police, councils, the UK Border Agency and Revenue and Customs were pooling their resources to bring the so- called landlords of 'beds in sheds' to justice. "I want anyone stuck in these suburban shanty towns to know that help is at hand and they will not be abandoned," he added.
relationship that deserves to be deeper, stronger and more meaningful. If that's what you want, do your best to be giving and patient.

When does a good idea become a bad idea? When it isn't properly thought through. When the impetus for acting on it becomes so compelling that the possible consequences are overlooked. Or when the drawbacks are given so much attention that they lead to a series of complex contingency plans that cost so much or take such effort, they negate all the potential advantages. You have got a good idea now. A very good idea. You just need to be wise enough to take a balanced view of the implications. !!!
When we feel loving, others feel more loving towards us! That's a law of nature. It's what happens
when we exude a mood others can't help but respond to. Likewise, if we sense aggression in someone's attitude, we find it hard not to let our hackles rise. Only a very injured person meets affection with rejection. Only a special person greets anger and accusation with warmth and sympathy. You are special. Be brave enough now to be generous of spirit and trusting of heart. You will be amazed by what this brings. !!!
Glaring errors have at least one advantage over subtle mistakes. When they happen, we know about them! When problems are hidden, it can take us a long time to reveal them. That's true at every level of life. It is especially true with emotional and personal decisions. But when two people clearly don't get
along, we have no other expectations of that relationship. What has caused the tension that seems to have arisen lately in your world? You are now finding out and may yet benefit greatly from this new understanding. !!!
If you are not sure who to trust, or what to believe, trust and believe what you are about to read right here. You are a powerful person. You are entitled to love, peace, relief and reward. If it seems as if you are a long way from feeling such things, that is only because whenever any of us don't feel like that, we always imagine we are a long way from that experience. It's possible to get seasick in sight of the shore! But you are much nearer than you think now, to the very thing that your heart wants more than anything!
