My basic message is, whatever hand life deals you (whether your fault or not), whatever life-changing adversity you have to endure, there are ALWAYS things that you can do, things that you still have some control over to not just live well, but live an AMAZING LIFE if you have the faith in yourself, discipline, determination, desire, intensity, inner strength, WILL to DO what you CAN do to live an amazing life filled with purpose. For me, it was having Parkinson's disease in my 30's; I am 54 today and have very few symptoms. (Click on the Davis Phinney - Olympic medalist with PD - box on the front page of JohnBaumann.com to hear him tell my story). This lifestyle transformation applies equally to both those affected and their caregivers.

Life ain’t always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down,
it can break your heart….
But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
No, life ain’t always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride.
- songwriter Gary Allan

What is your PURPOSE?
"Too often we underestimate
the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around."
- Leo Buscaglia
