I Am The Samurai Caregiver
I have learned that the manner in which I deliver and execute my duties and responsibilities as a caregiver  aligns very closely with the Code of The Bushido; the code of the Samurai Warrior:
Jin - cultivate a sympathetic understanding of people

Gi - embody and preserve meticulous ethics

Chu - demonstrate loyalty to one's master
(God/Spirit/Source)

Ke - esteem and look after one's parents

Rei - show respect for others

Chi - enhance wisdom by broadening one's knowledge

Shin - be trustful at all times

Tei - care for the aged and those of a humble station

I encourage caregivers to be strong;
to be and remain centered at all times
 in all ways

especially when circumstances present themselves to the contrary

I remind caregivers to feel and be empowered at all times
to know,not think,but know they are empowered at have the right to be assertive in the execution of their duties and responsibilities for the that has been entrusted into their care;

especially when the circumstances present themselves to the contrary

I extol all caregivers to be ever mindful of the following:

"Peace isn't merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice"*


 To this end, I invite all true caregiver to adopt the Code of the Bushido**
 to come respect it, embrace it and become one with it  by claiming it as their own
