What others have said:

"I just love your Big Move book. I'm nearly a professional mover; twelve years, ten moves. Three of those cross country ones. Your book is very practical, spiritual and uplifting.

"I have recommended it to numerous students of mine during Coach U classes as well as directly to many of my clients. I would highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating a move or actually doing one." -- Cynthia Stringer, PCC, CMC

"When I read this book, a big "AHA" went off in my head. I've moved significant distances six times in my life. The first five times were fun, exciting, and a new adventure. The sixth time, all of that was missing. After I read Cathy's book, the light bulb went off and I understood what made that move different.

"If you are planning a move, even if it's two streets up, this book is a 'MUST READ!'" -- JJ Dippel, Federal Employee, Washington State

"Cathy, I just ordered your book and it was amazing! I wasn't sure what I needed to do to get our children, ages two and four, ready for the move. Your idea of creating good-by rituals was invaluable. I plan to follow two of your other suggestions -- revisiting the old neighborhood and taking 'comfort possessions' in the van with us. Thanks SO much for a great resource."
-- Zoe Robinson, Toronto, ON, Canada
