“If I put myself totally at stake and nothing has been left behind, then I cannot do more the next day. If I have done whatsoever can be done with a total mind, more is not possible. Once I will pray – if something happens it happens it happens, if not I am finished; then I am not going to pray again.”
Osho.

It’s very important to me that caregivers receive adequate compensation. How are they as humans suppose to live their personal lives while taking care of others if to stay sane. They need to make time to have self care and love with prayer and meditation and not give up hope and faith. That my friends is unconditional love and some of the bravest hearts are doing this for free every minute. Please support Team Gateway All the Love and Light.
