Be RESTORED & EMPOWERED This Season Through Caregiving: By Dr. De Leon


In keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving season and Care GIVER month;
I want to personally say thank you to all the unsung heroes who give of themselves daily to make someone else's life better especially to my husband who is my rock and without whose loving support I would not be able to survive a single day and be able to be a caregiver to everyone else in my family!
Since, none of us are islands to ourselves and are in need of one another for support and encouragement to carry on, there are a few words I would like to say to everyone this week : 
 be a giver, a hugger, a listener, a greeter, a smile maker, not withholding words of praise, encouragement, thanksgiving and kindness.
Sharing blessings with others is a choice- so choose to make a difference TODAY and experience the power of giving and in turn BE INSPIRED, EMPOWERED, RESTORED, and CURED!

Although we are all waiting anxiously for a cure to PD, is what we do with our time while we wait that counts. We must count our blessings and learn to not only  lean on one another for moral support but also lift one another up when the load gets heavy. For those of us who are the care partners, and Parkinson patient Advocates let us continue to be the voice in the desert of the less able (the ones devoid of support whether it be moral, spiritual, or financial) and champion the PD cause so all patients and caregivers alike can obtain support, be lifted, and find fulfillment in their journey.  
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
