Should This Get Shipped to Europe?

Recently, after the death of a loved one, we were called to do our Compassionate Cleanout Service. The adult children were inquiring about shipping this beautiful but very worn and not very comfortable couch to the UK. I gave them my honest opinion, which was, if your personal attachment to this piece is worth shipping to the tune of $4000, then I would suggest taking and framing a picture of it, and enjoying it that way. Ultimately, they listened to me! But, we would have happily facilitated the shipment if that was the decision they made.

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)

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.

Last month my client at the legislature asked me to ship tshirts back to the supplier.

We pulled 8 cartons out of their basement, counted the shirts, packed them according to size, and schlepped them to FEDEX.

We loved this job because it was the last and final task for @corinnecarey BECAUSE the governor just signed the Medical Aid In Dyning Act in NYS. A 10.75 Years long campaign of tireless activism lead by the dedicated and relentless staff and volunteers, all impacted by suffering and prolonged agony of no options except suffering.

For more than a decade, the campaign to pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act in New York went on. The staff worked with thousands of New Yorkers who opened their homes, their hearts, and their final months to this movement which culminated with the NYS Legislature and Governor finally listening to families navigating the harsh and daunting realities of terminal illness.

This law is about compassion. It is about love. It is about the freedom to make deeply personal decisions about our own care.

Congratulations to all. Cannot wait to see where you land next.

I couldn`t really wrap my head around this. Anyone?

For visually impaired people and for those who are not and are confused by the message:

Six recyclable bags containing hundreds of plastic bags. The smallest canvas bag says
"STOP USING PLASTIC"

Make it make sense!

Please!

Also, Call Sheilah! if you have collections like this, ones that are no longer serving you and are certainly taking up valuable real estate in your garage.

We can help you let go of those items if you are open minded and willing, with humor and understanding ... and also with our ability to take it away and pass it along to someone or some entity that may actually use them.

Are you in big box stores looking for storage bins priced at $10 to $50 each so you can store your new holiday stuff or dearly departed grandmother`s belongings in storage units, renting for $ 100 to $400 a month? Cause thats what has replaced the holiday aisles at W, HD, T, & L ... a $50 billion industry and growing.

Or did you want to spend some productive, thoughtful time with team Call Sheilah! and purge some of that to free up space in your body, mind, spirit and checkbook?

Sure there is a fee for our service but you wont be paying it monthly for years to come. As a matter of fact, if you read our Google reviews, you will see that the opposite is true.

Do yourself a favor and Call Sheilah! We provide a 30 min free consult, work within your parameters, make lots of suggestions and relieve you of things that are cluttering your space, your head, and your heart.
