POSTED: 01/31/2012 01:30:12 AM PST
LA SELVA BEACH -- At the age of 15, Theresa Tucciarelli got her first job working with senior citizens. Working as a waitress at the former Casa del Rey Retirement Hotel in Santa Cruz was the first job Tucciarelli ever had.
After decades of working in the restaurant industry, Tucciarelli, 48, has come full circle and is back working with senior citizens again.
In 2008 she started her own business, A Move Made Simple. Tucciarelli helps seniors and their families make what can be difficult decisions when it comes to downsizing, relocating and/or moving a senior into an assisted living facility, senior community or smaller home.

Who Can We Turn to for Wisdom in the World?
In many cultures, the ‘wise old owl’ represents wisdom. The owl will be our guide here on this journey of elder-hood ...
Questions we will ask here are:
- How does elder-hood represent wisdom; or does it anymore?
- How can we receive the aged back into our society; into a world that desperately needs new insight from an older person's perspective?
- What can we learn from our older generation?
- How can we help them to live happier, healthier lives?
- We all get there someday, so what do we want to have in our later years?
