Love

Forget love -

I'd rather fall in chocolate!

Love

Oh, love! Just the word stirs up a lot of emotions. Love is the most powerful feeling we have. It has caused us great joy and great pain in our lives. It has moved mountains and waged wars. It has taught us more about ourselves, sometimes more than we ever wanted to know. Love is a funny thing. You can't run or hide from it; love will smack you when you least expect it. There are many layers to love and it take on many different forms. How many times have you loved or more so, how many times have you yearned for a great love? Well the wait is finally over. It's time to fall in love and not just with anyone, the most special person of all. You have known this person your whole life. They have been right by your side in your happiest and darkest moments. They have seen you at your best and at your worst. Have you guessed it yet? Yep, that's right. I am talking about you ~ self love if you will. You can not truly love another soul on this planet until you first love yourself for the awesome person that you are. Realizing the wonder and talent you possess and what you can contribute to this world is the greatest love you can ever find. Once you embrace this idea, then your heart and soul will open to love from other human beings in the way that it should. Your love will be pointed in a healthy direction and you will be able to truly connect with another soul. Maybe it's someone that's been in your life for a long time or maybe it's someone brand new waiting to love you. Remember though, first truly love who you are and then someone will be able to love you the way you should be loved ~ unconditionally.
