Do you love Heather and Anders as much as I do? Leave them some love below!

Yes!! These two...SO great to have these voices, these souls in the Parkinsons community! They both offer validation and hope through their realistic approach to themselves and the world around them (with or without PD). And: For the record, I saw that guy with the "would you mind if I give you a hug?" sign and DID get a hug from him. He was just another positive moment in the week. Thank you, Sarah, for ALL you do in the Parkinsons community.

I run a PD Support group in VT and someone mentioned your KZbin efforts. I'm really enjoying them. I am a very positive person and look at the positive side of PD. My dad had PD. Most importantly I have 7 kid and they look to me for leadership. I have accomplished so much in the 10 years since I was diagnosed.Im interested in knowing your motivation???

it is absolutely wonderful to see and hear three very energetic people on my screen this morning since it brought warmth into my very cold winter morning here in Australia. on the 10th anniversary of my p's diagnosis i decided to name my p's disease my p's gift, and as a result something shifted. a more positive approach. i do not allow the p's to restrict my life and i carry on as an artist as i have all of my life. the only difference is that everything is a little to a lot slower. last night i opened an exhibition of my latest work, i write a monthly column for the local paper, plus a story for our monthly short story slam. i am also designing/creating a performance with 4 painters and two musicians and i am designing my 80th birthday party which will be a total hoot with a huge attendance. i am not giving in and as a result am also some inspiration for my community. i would like to show you the work which i am still able to do 12 years after my diagnoses. but there is no place to send it with this comment. cheers petrus

What a joy it was to meet you! How might I follow your exercise programs? It seems this quarantine has negatively impacted my ability to work out… No gym.

I was with you until you called a man and a woman "guys." Ugh. So insensitive for women to have to be addressed by a male term, popular or not. Otherwise, you all are lovely and positive. Wonderful, thanks!
