John Baumann’s Inspiring “Nifty Nine” Daily Action Steps: Creating Your Own Personalized Plan to Live Life to the Fullest With (or without) Parkinson’s Disease M. Scott Peck starts out his monumental work, The Road Less Travelled, with three powerful words, “Life is difficult.” Difficult does not translate to bad, it just means that sometimes in life things do not come easy. Dealing with Parkinson’s is difficult. That sure is an understatement if I ever heard one. I describe myself as an inspiring, insightful, informative and oft-times humorous speaker who just so happens to have had Parkinson's for over a decade. In my life BP (before Parkinson's), I was an attorney, officer of a listed public corporation, and avid athlete. In my life WP (with Parkinson's), I am an inspirational speaker, author of several books, faculty member of the University of Louisville, guest commentator on CNN Headline News, Chair Emeritus of the Kentucky Make-A-Wish Foundation Board of Directors, and, most importantly, Bernadette's husband. I present here a novel and all-inclusive approach to living life to the fullest whether or not you have Parkinson's disease in the form of nine daily action steps.

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

Michael J. Fox Quote
“For everything this disease has taken, something of greater value has been given -sometimes just a marker that points me in a new direction that I might not otherwise have traveled.”
45
Michael J. Fox Quote
“So, sure, it may be one step forward and two steps back, but, after a time with Parkinson’s,
I’ve learned that what is important is making that one step count, ….. always ….”
46
ALWAYS REMEMBER
"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
