Stepping Into Love

With this new year we're in a new energy that brings with it new opportunity. What does that mean?
I like to think it means we're being asked to step into loving more fully. 
The kind of love I'm thinking of is a love that is forgiving, a love that creates oneness, a love that nourishes the soul of every man, woman, and child on this planet.
How, you rightfully might ask, am I to do that? It does sound rather daunting I will agree. What if we start with baby steps and learn to like ourselves. I'll be honest, for me, that was a long time coming. But it's important because if you think of yourself as a part of the whole, which you are, then you will see that when you can truly like yourself, you are in fact loving yourself and those around you. And by liking yourself I mean forgiving yourself, allowing yourself to make mistakes, and exercising self care. 
We're always changing. You're not the same person you were last year, or last month, or yesterday for that matter. We're always being given opportunities to open and to be aware of the love that we are and this year is a great year to mindfully step into that love.
This is a work in progress, a journey. You're not going to wake up one day totally in love with everything and everyone around you, although anything's possible. But if we all start now and at least learn to like ourselves a little more and get a few baby steps under our belt, just think what will start to unfold for each of us individually and in our world.
