This is an invitation that, before the big sleep, we must learn to discover the joys of life where peace, love, and serenity thrive; that Gods love is the foundation of all forms of love and a driving force to share the love through our compassion and charity.Being self-aware is an essential step in our understanding of who we are, what we do, and why we do it, and what gives meaning to us in life.
