These types of signs show up in almost every home we work in. While surrounded by this accumulation, we also see hand written signs that say “put things away.” We see books on the various methods of downsizing that have been popularized by all kinds of media. We see magazines and video tapes (yes, video tapes!) on decluttering, downsizing, letting go of stuff, hoarding and more. In particular, these things accumulate in the homes where there is clearly something happening that created circumstances and things have gotten away from the home owner. Often the amount of stuff that people are accumulating, storing and holding onto has become completely unmanageable. Of course this is triggered by a traumatic event, and while we are not therapists, we have learned in the last ten years or so, that the accumulation of too much, while yearning for simplification, creates spiritual, physical and mental health challenges. We do our small part and are honored to help.
The “Today’s Find” blog on our website is a collection of noteworthy items we run across while doing our thing as Move In/Move Out specialists. This one is a beautiful carved soap stone. Make sure you don’t wash your hands with this soap! It’d be a shame to wear away the carvings.

Look for this radical bunch of queers at Pride, Sunday, June 14, gather at 1030 in Washington Park in Albany.

One of the best parts of being a Move In / Move Out specialist is coming across clients’ treasured (and often forgotten) objects and imagining the stories behind them. Here, Gottlieb’s Fabled “Subway” animated single player Pinball Machine from 1966.

Sara Goodwin-Tague of Weichert Realtors praises Call Sheilah!’s “Gift of Time” certificates:
“Dear Sheilah,
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the idea of the “Gift of Time” certificate for Call Sheilah! services. We are super conscious of who gets a gift certificate, as we want it to work for Call Sheilah!, as well as the client. That means the client gets to meet you, have you provide the two-hour gift of time and labor, and then because you are awesome, immediately invites you back to assist with the move in/move out process. Last week, for one of our clients who is in this VERY competitive spring market, we used the gift to sweeten a deal, that was almost falling apart. Thanks to this gift, the offer was accepted. They thought it was so touching, and they are now under contract!!
The best part is I know that this seller did benefit so much from having you help them. That they were then able to contract with you beyond the two-hour gift, means it worked exactly as planned and it’s a win-win all around! You rock!” -Sara (@weicherttricityprop)
This!!!

The @NYTimes is on a roll.
For the last several weeks, articles and newsletters have discussed spring cleaning, decluttering, downsizing, cleanouts and the stuckness and emotional heaviness we all feel when it is time to deal with these tasks (which is usually past time).
Read the articles and then put your thoughts and new information into action. Call Sheilah! can assist with any and all. Downsize, sort, organize, pack, supervise the moving crew, yes, we do cleanouts, and more.
Some of the most common things we hear on or after the job are:
"I`ve been agonizing for 7 years, and you got this done in 7 hours."
"Worth every penny."
"We should have gotten rid of more...should have listened to Team Call Sheilah. Their expertise is invaluable."
"Not sure why I waited, but I am so relieved."
"They just made a very challenging situation so much easier"
There`s more, but you can read the rest on the Google review site. Better yet, Call Sheilah! We will be happy to brag about it!
In the meantime, don`t hesitate. We all pay for these tasks one way or another:
Body, Mind, Spirit, Check Book.
If you are fortunate enough that your check book can take the hit, bring us in for the task so you can tend to and mend your body, mind and spririt. We will do the rest.
Call for a free thirty minute consult. We are booking up quickly.

It was a privilege to deepen our collaboration with @evergreenmeadowacademy. Last month, we assisted their mission by providing essential furnishings for a family in the Sullivan County community.
One of my very generous clients (they all are) donated and paid to transport beds and bedding, a kitchen table and kitchen supplies, decor, dressers, rugs, paper goods, laundry detergent, and so much more.
We love this work so much. It was fun and rewarding, we made new friends, made some people happy, had a great road trip, and of course ended up with a client turned friend for life.
If you would have told me 10 plus years ago that I would love this business, the clients and the work (most of the time 🙃), I dont think I would have believed it.
