‘tis the season to REFLECT…
Where does the time go? Not only are we rapidly approaching the end of another year, we are also witnessing the close of another decade!

The other day, we got to thinking about some of the wonderful things that have happened this year and 2019 has definitely been one of the busiest! 

I get excited knowing that every move and every client is unique, but I also love that with every person we meet, comes a brand new opportunity to help make a difference in their lives...and that is what we do every single day!

  Here is a taste of all the different kinds of projects we worked on this past year:

  • Downsize and moved people from their family home of many years to a rental apt or condo 
  •  Downsize and moved seniors to a Retirement Living Community 
  • Moved seniors to Long Term Care Facilities
  • De-Cluttering Project- supporting seniors staying in their home 
  • Estate clear outs
  • Staged and prepared homes for the market and/or stagers
  • Clear Outs to prepare for closing date 
  • Downsized and moved seniors closer to a family member 
  • Pre-move pack 
  • Move day – complete unpack 
  • MaxSold Online Auction– set up
  • Downsized and moved seniors to a smaller home
  • Full family move to new home (we don’t just help seniors!)

And none of these projects would have happened with out the help of my team!

Having a Diva team I can trust to carry out my #1 commitment to care for our clients if I can’t be there is priceless, and I am grateful to Liz, Karen and Lily for their hard work and commitment to excellence!
DIVA CHALLENGE for December...
When you are counting your blessings, consider reaching out to people who may be less fortunate than you and your family.

In this wonderful season of sharing, you might…

  1. VISIT someone who may not have many visitors. Bring a treat and stay for a chat.
  2. DELIVER food (or a financial donation) to your local food bank.
  3. INVITE people who have something in common to your home. Share food and, more importantly, share memories.
  4. DONATE warm coats, woollen socks, sweaters, mitts and scarves to a shelter.
  5. COOK and/or serve a holiday meal to people without a place to go.
  6. COLLECT bedding and toiletries and take them to a Family Shelter.
  7. SEND a cheque to your favourite not-for-profit organization.
  8. THINK of something special only you can do to make a difference!

The holiday season is a perfect time
to reflect on our blessings
and seek out ways to make life better
