What We Are Capable Of!

February 1, 2021 Karl Robb 2021, Mind Body Spirit, Motivation Monday, Philosophy

There will be days for everyone with or without illness that we don’t want to get out of bed. Then, there will be days where we surprise ourselves at our fortitude and drive. #MotivationMonday

Choosing hope on Motivation Monday

December 21, 2020 Karl Robb 2020, Motivation Monday, Parkinson's Disease, Philosophy, Support, Wellness 4 comments

Hope is a precious tool. It can drive us through the most difficult of times. Hope rejuvenates our drive. Without hope, we may drift and forget our direction toward the path that we had set out. On occasion, we all need a nudge to get back to where we should be going. #MotivationMonday #ParkinsonsDisease #ParkinsonsAwareness

Change Brings Change

July 29, 2020 Karl Robb 2020, Mind Body Spirit, Parkinson's Disease, Philosophy

Change is inevitable. From my experience, people with Parkinson’s disease are not wild about change. I am not big on change, but I try to embrace innovations and new technology, as best as I can. Some changes are easier than others.

Does Masking Have A New Meaning?

June 3, 2020 Karl Robb 2020, Education & Support, Mind Body Spirit, Parkinson's Disease, Philosophy

Ideas For The New Year

January 15, 2020 Karl Robb 2020, Education, Health, Living Well, Mind Body Spirit, Parkinson's Disease, Philosophy, Self Care, Wellness
