Do Not Toss My Memories in the Trash
|
| |
| |
Whether we’re grappling with your own ‘stuff’ or concerned about helping aging family members downsize, eliminating to many treasures and possessions is a daunting task for most baby boomers. The saying, “We spend the first half of our life acquiring and spend the second part getting rid of it,” holds true for most of us.
How do you start the process? Professional organizer and senior move manager Vickie Dellaquila has written the perfect little book to help all of us with too much. In Don’t Toss My Memories in the Trash, Vickie addresses head on the issues with step-by-step guide to help seniors downsize, organize or move. Providing antidotal stories we can relate to she helps address many of the issues we have about getting rid of our own prized possessions, as well as helping elderly loved ones with often painful transitions.
Vickie shares her thoughts that prompted her to write this informative, but compact manual.
What do you want your readers to learn or take away from reading this book?
That downsizing, organizing, and moving can be a difficult overwhelming process, but can be done with planning and having a plan. I hope that they see themselves or their parents in the stories and can relate to them.
What would readers like to know about you?
I am a certified professional organizer and certified relocation transition specialist and have had my organizing business for seven years. I have worked with many clients through the years on this process and have helped them through it in a compassionate manner.
Why is this topic important to you?
I don’t want to see memories tossed in the trash. It is an important topic to discuss with your parents or think about for yourself. It is hard for a family and the senior when a health care crisis occurs to have a very limited amount of time to deal with taking care of the house and the all the contents in it.
What do you want your readers to learn or take away from reading this book?
I would like readers to think about starting the process of downsizing some of their items whether they are moving or not. It is really nice to have time to think about where you would like some of your items to go, to who, or to a place that is important to you. It is also nicer to make your own decisions about your stuff than someone else making them for you.
