Hello! Thank you for visiting my new blogs!
Let me introduce myself… the short version:
I am Clare Walker – born and raised in SE Wisconsin – #9 of 11 children to loving parents – married with 6 children [5 now adults (1 married) & an 8-year-old daughter].
After college I worked in the accounting field, switched careers to graphic design and owned a business development firm, have been involved with helping seniors transition from their long-term homes to senior communities and facilities that support an aging lifestyle for many years. In March of 2007 I became one of the first Certified Relocation Transition Specialist through the accredited program of the National Assoc. of Senior Move Managers. I started NextStep Senior Services, LLC, focusing on senior move management and expanding into assisting with clients that desire to age-in-place by modifying, organizing, and creating a safe and functioning living environment.
Which brings us to “50+ Blogger” & “NextStep 4 Seniors” Weblogs…
There’s a lot between the lines of anyone’s bio… I’m no exception. But if there’s one word that I hope you extrapolate from the above, it’s “family”… and in this area, we all have common threads.
A family ages together. As grandparents and parents advance from their 20’s to 90’s, children are growing from birth to retirement, grandchildren and great-grandchildren begin the continuance. The interactions and relationships between us changes (or ages) as we do.
50+ Blogger’s purpose is to bring us into the discussion of issues that surround us as we mature, our family role(s) mature, and our elders mature. NextStep 4 Seniors is a focus on issues and resources for family members that desire or need assistance. Please join in and share your stories, your thoughts, your knowledge, your humor, and your spirit.
