Life Magazines – The Forties

Life Magazine - July 19, 1943. Air force pilot, female on the cover next to plane 368

July 19, 1943

We stumbled on these Life Magazines from 1943. There were about ten of them. All of them celebrated women, Black veterans, patriotism and the accomplishments of people for whom the odds were against. If only the celebration of what truly makes this country great, which is diversity, rich and deep history of different cultures and genders coming together, as well as our government supporting that excellence — if only it continued in earnest, our current situation would be something contained only in horror/fiction movies and books, instead of reality. #Resist

Thanks @gabriellain109 and @albanyjcc for a really fun time and great networking event.

We talked about downsizing, latkes, moving, packing, how much crap everyone has, ate candy and everyone loved my dear mother`s Mah Jongg Menorah. She left it to me when she passed 20 years ago. Thats a good thing...cause I bought it for her in the first place.

Great work and thank you @lisamelisa13

Call Sheilah! (and anyone doing this work with people who are grieving) knows this well.

You dont have to do it alone.

Asking For Help Is A Spiritual Act!

Give us a call when you are ready. We`ve worked with grieivng partners who waited years; grieving children who waited weeks; and grieving parents who waited and then changed their minds.

We will hold space for whatever comes up: crying, grieving, laughing, or nothing.

One of my clients is rehoming two beautiful cats. Please spread the word and of course, consider them yourself if you are a cat person in need of cats like these:

Oliver - the one in the sink, is a five year old neutered male. Sweet and shy, but warms up over time. Doesn`t like loud noises.

Abby - is a 14 year old spayed, sweet girl. She walks like a racoon, is friendly, good with kids, good with dogs and has a silent meow.

Ideally, they go together, but they are not really that attached to each other. They also live in Voorheesville and spend a lot of time outside. Indoors would be an adjustment, but they have done it. Would need a bit of litter box reminder, as right now, the great out doors is their toilet.

Please get in touch and tell me you want them both!

We love a good partnership with cool, professional people.

When @hamiltonparcliving did the smart thing and picked up the phone to Call Sheilah! we responded with enthusiasm.

I mean, how cool is this?

Call Sheilah! will be on site to talk about downsizing, among other things. Anyone who knows our work and our brand, is in for an event that will at times be comical and will of course always be thoughtful, professional, straightforward and apparently delicious because @bellanapolibakery is providing the delights.

Join us. It`s like downsizing stand up comedy, and of course there will be tips, tricks and suggestions for how to get started (never too soon to downsize) on your your relocation journey. Thanks for making the connect @lisamelisa13.

See you there. Call Sheilah! with questions.

This guy, Brody, was on site at a job yesterday. Every time I turned around there he was.

He spent the entire day supporting our packing services and it felt suspiciously like he was angling for a job.

These dear people, who became my clients in 2016, and then became friends shortly there after, are doing the thing.

They bought a house a few years ago, thinking they would raise bees, build tree houses, host so many parties and fundraisers, and ultimately age well here. With a few turn of events, both politically and personally, they are moving over seas.

But first, they had to downsize, sort, organize, sell, and then get rid of the remaining crap. We know that story well and because they`ve done it so many times, they pretty much did it on their own. And what a job they did!

As friend Sheilah, a distinction I often have to make with friends, I was impressed with their resilience and relentlessness and offered help but not "on the clock" services.

They did a great job and I hope they were influenced by me throughout the last decade. I suspect I was influenced by them as well.

I respect, love and admire all of that and both of these lovely people. They are kind, zany, fun, driven, interesting, silly, caring, loving, and they will be missed by lots of people in the Capital Region, but specifically by me.

@surefootedfilmsny, I will do my best to sell what you specifically asked me to sell, and if i cannot, I will find homes for them.

Your absence has already left a void.

Be safe, be zany, and be in touch!

This is a very lovely note from a client who just finalized their mother`s estate.

We packed donations, packed the items to be shipped back to the west coast, assisted with the sorting of 40 boxes of paper, records, filing, photos and journals; donated several beds, dressers and linens to RISSE (Refugee and Immigrant Support Services of Emmaus in Albany), cleaned up the grounds and more.

We supervised the move crew, finalized the cleanout to get the house empty for closing and gave the client a hug.

This was stressful and successful, with a relieved client at the end. Many things can be true at the same time.

Also, give us a Call! We will downsize your excess stuff, and find homes for those items with the actual people who need basic necessities.

We will procure boxes and packing supplies so you dont have to schlep. Of course we will pack you and then staff your moving day so there is a competent project manager on site.

Seriously, we will work with you and get you out of NYC (or where ever you are NYS) before #Zohran and democratic socialist policies for the people comes to your penthouse threshold and stabilizes the rent.
