Why I started Moving Matters

Judy Colby-Walker and her mom |
At 92, my mom faced a move from her home of 22 years to a senior
living facility. Even though she is a remarkable and capable woman,
she found the prospect overwhelming. She was anxious about losing
her independence, fearful that she would be forgotten, worried about
her physical capacity to make the move, and concerned about being
an imposition on others.
As for me, I was conflicted. I had a very busy life yet I wanted
to help my mom. I, too, became overwhelmed. I was stunned by how
much time, energy and emotion was involved. Through the process
of sorting, packing, and distributing the belongings that gave testimony
to her life, I learned that moving matters - especially this kind
of move. Together we learned some lessons, and an idea was born...a
business called "Moving Matters."
I bring 25 years of experience in social work, working with families
and running programs; knowledge of community resources; organizational
skills; and tireless energy. I welcome the opportunity to make you
living space transition successful, whether it is for yourself or
a loved one. Please call me at 772-7181
