Seven months later and after some reflection and realizing that I make some emotional decisions when I'm not in a good place mentally, I apologize for the "downer" vibe in this video. I was really struggling after the 2 months I spent in this home and "absorbing" all the trauma from the homeowner and then feeling like a failure when it didn't end on a good note with the homeowner after all the work we put in, so it was REALLY DIFFICULT to try to stay positive in my voiceover. But, because of all I learned about myself while working here and how much I have to protect my mental health due to my empathic nature and wanting to help everyone to the point that I suffer, I am now in therapy and learning to set boundaries so that it doesn't get to this point again. Anyway, thank you for understanding! I am in a much better place now!
You are a special person Bonnie! I love your heart for helping people in need! You are an encouragement and blessing! Just be yourself and do what you can! You are AMAZING ❤🎉
Bonnie, a reply is never expected by me, so please don't feel the need to reply. If you need to charge for the cleaning jobs, but still are able to film them, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that you would still have an audience. It doesn't have to be a free clean for me to watch. Many UA-camrs have sponsors, and their subscribers don't seem to mind or unsubscribe. You're honest about who you are, and it's a big reason why we watch your videos. If you show cleaning videos where you say you also got paid for all of your hard work -- no big deal, I'd still watch them. Aurikatariina has sponsors, and I watch all of her videos. I'd watch yours too.😊 I love to organize for other people and clean whatever spaces they let me clean up. Your videos inspire me, truly. With that said, if you need to take a break from videos to earn a living, then go do just that. If we self care, we can care for others better. What do the flight training instructions always say?...put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. If you can't breathe, how can you expect to help someone else breathe? Do what you gotta do, we'll be here. Final thought: you and your mom are awesome!
Oh honey, hoarder houses are so very difficult. Do what you have to do. We will love seeing you on u tube. Do not feel like a failure. You can only give to much before your empty and running on reserves. May God bless you and guide you. Hugs from Arizona.
New to your channel, but came from Midwest Magic Cleaning and I love it! As you grow, your community will understand that you can’t be everywhere at once. It’s just basic math. I know the algorithm gods can be harsh, but hang in there because word is getting around. I will now be bingeing every video you’ve ever made. ❤
Aw, thank you! And I had to laugh when you talked about the algorithm Gods because I was just talking to Mack yesterday about how we should do a video of something that represents the algorithm and us bringing sacrifices to it and worshiping this algorithm God because that is what it feels like sometimes, like, "Have we displeased you in some way algorithm? How can we make it right?" 😅 Mack and I have a very similar sense of humor so it was fun to laugh about that for a minute. A word of warning if you are binging all of my videos... the first three or four I put music in and some of it was very obnoxious.🤦♀️ I seriously had no idea what I was doing, but that was a less than a year ago, so I have come a long way, a lot of that thanks to Mack.😊 I wish I could go back and redo those, but that's not really how this works. Anyway, thank you so much for being here and that's sweet of you that you are going to go watch my other videos.💖🙏
I love Mom .Shes a keeper.Shes not 70 shes 36 love it that she loves you enought to help you when your low on unffa.That means energy in mom talk.Mack sent me.New to you great job ladys.
Put yourself first Bonnie. Being an empath around negativity is very draining. This house in particular has been greatly improved but really needs way more help for the person to overcome hoarding. That is not due to failure on your part.you did amazingly. I hope you will soon be feeling better and we will all see you again soon.
I love watching you clean and your mom!! You're amazing but your mom is super amazing because what she can do for her age❤❤ Prayers that hopefully everything works out for you the way that you want it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are much too hard on yourself. Think about how far ahead of the issue you were able to take this home, not how much more you had wanted to do. The homeowner is closer to a house that has more function than previously, and it is all because of YOU! Everyone appreciates you and is in your corner. You need to be in your own corner, because you deserve it. Good on your mom for helping you to remember how to have fun. She is a treasure!
I was encouraged to see that the owner had gone through the tower of shoes. I wish her the best and hope she can avoid eviction. Love you so much, and I relate to the UA-cam struggle. You've made a huge difference in my life, and I love you. You've never disappointed me.
It’s not because you didn’t do enough for her. It’s because she has so very much stuff. You did everything possible so be proud of what you’ve done. Please don’t give up. We love to watch you.
Thank you, Mira. You have always been gracious and kind. I know that I didn't disappoint you with the scrapbook room. I just have a picture in my head when I go into a room and, when it doesn't turn out like that, I feel incomplete. And I know we aren't done either. Now that I have freed up some time this month because I did cancel that lady I was telling you about that was going to take so much time and energy, I can actually come up probably a couple more days this month and really get your scrapbook room in order. But I will probably give you a week or so in between coming up so that you have time to go through and Purge things as we pull them out. I think I expected too much in a short period of time and that's just not possible when there is so much for you to go through before we can really organize it. Anyway, I will be in touch! Love you, friend! ❤️
Bonnie- I enjoy watching you and your mom. My 2 cents- that project was waaaaay too much especially for free. Of course you are burned out- no great reward at the end right? No sense of completion. Remember you have to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help others. Maybe you can take some “normal” paid cleaning jobs and only take on manageable , free jobs a couple of times a month. You are so caring but do t forget to care for yourself 💕
Excellent point. This size of this job is huge. I priced my own hoard cleanup. One of the guys on hoarders does clean ups here in NH. My hoard is maybe
I comment on videos maybe once a year at most. Just wanted to say, I had got myself into a situation of complete cleaning paralysis due to a combination of factors- some of the same factors that people you have cleaned for struggle with as well. I hit a point of desperation earlier today and searched for ‘extreme cleaning’ and your videos came up. I watched two of them while psyching myself up to just START CLEANING. The way you talk to and about your clients, and seeing how a mess of the same sort as mine evaporates under your hands, finally made me get up and just start. I watched another one when I took a break earlier and now I’m watching more of them to wind down ready to get back at it tomorrow. My kitchen is finally clean. It has been months. I hope you choose to do whatever makes you happiest; if that doesn’t end up being cleaning videos, so be it - but I did just want to add my voice to the chorus of people telling you that you are making a difference for us just by doing what you do and sharing the process with us. A lot of the time I feel like I just have no idea where to begin because I am scared of getting it wrong, but watching you just dive in with enthusiasm and scrubbing and even admit when you wish you’d done something differently, makes me feel like ‘heck, I may as well have a go at it’. I am not exaggerating when I say that I was working with, on average, 10cm squared of available counter space. Today I finally got to remember what it was like cooking a meal in an actual kitchen rather than a chaos dump. Thankyou so much.
Wow, I don't even know what to say. You made me feel so good. 🥹❤️🙏I have been reminded so much these last few days that my videos aren't just about the people I help, but that other people are getting some value from them and tackling their own messes. I don't feel like I articulate things very well or explain my process very well all the time, but I'm so happy to hear that you are at least gaining some perspective on things, that you aren't in this alone, and that it really starts with just moving things around and figuring out what's there and doing just a little bit each day. And it sounds like you have learned that there is no wrong way to do it. I used to get a lot of comments in the first few months of my videos that I was cleaning something wrong and it used to really bother me because it's not like I'm a trained professional. I just like to do this stuff for fun and, to me, it doesn't matter how you get there. Then other people started pointing that out as well, and I like that I can show it doesn't have to be done exactly like a professional would do it. Sometimes it's messy, but you have to do it in a way that works for YOU. Better is better no matter how you got there. 😊Anyway, thank you so much for your comment and I'm so happy to hear that you are starting to make progress with your own home. Best of luck to you!🙏🥰
The size of this job was incomprehensible, yet you and your team doggedly went at it day by day. You have my admiration and hope that the home owner comes to the realisation just how generous you have been. I am so sorry that this project has left you out of pocket. More subscribers and views needed!
Don’t put this on you. You and your mom did great with what you had to work with. You didn’t create this mess but you definitely improved it. I hope this owner continues seeing a therapist. If not, eviction is probably inevitable. And that’s not your fault.
What I do is watch videos like this. I am 77 years old working through my house. It is a lot of work but it help me with ideas 💡. Make me HAPPY I can do it. I had open heart surgery 5 years ago THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🥰💖🙏🌹🌹♥️♥️
Sorry you are feeling down. You have inspired me to tackle my mess. I understand why you can feel down being around so much unhappiness. Please don't give up as me and many other members need your cheerful smile to help keep us going in this crazy world. Blessings
I'm definitely not done with UA-cam. I have moments where I wonder what in the world I'm doing, but ultimately I think I would miss it too much. I just need to focus on the good I'm doing and not spend too much time thinking about the things that I can't change, like the homeowners. Thank you for also reminding me that this helps to motivate others to clean their homes, especially getting to peek into homes like this that have gotten so unmanageable. ❤️🙏
Sorry you are not feeling well doing that kind of cleaning it takes a toll on your body i love your videos you arevan awesome cleaner dont know how u do it.dont worry about utubing if u need time off your health is important and family,your mom is a real trooper.
Thank you for sharing about your feelings and frustrations with these projects. Your desire to do them for free can be extremely taxing. Receiving payment for these jobs could be meaningful for the owners as well as you. I wish you the best.
Yes. I have learned a lot from my experiences at this house and now have boundaries in place. Even if it didn't turn out the way I had hoped, it was an education in how to handle future projects like this. Thanks for your support!
Watch vids like yours as struggle with clutter & cleaning due to mobility & serious autoimmune. It helps my motivation & gives me ideas best way to try with my own home. Xx
When I’m in a mood I watch cleaning videos and lawn mowing videos (super sped up) and seeing the fast progress really motivates and lifts me up and I go clean something in my own home. 🌸💕
When I feel little down, I watch videos such as these, where you can see goal/challenges achieved. That motivates me and see others facing challenges such as many of mine!
I understand how disheartening it is to work so hard but not have the end result be what it could have been in spite of all your efforts. Please take time to rest- mentally and physically. We’re all here to support you and we know what a special person you are.
You guys are so sweet! I'm kind of feeling bad that I said anything because I don't want anyone feeling like they need to donate because I'm probably overreacting as we do have a lot of equity in our home if we really needed to use it to survive. There are a lot of people in a lot worse situations than I am. But I really do appreciate your support. I still intend to use those funds to help the homeowners, but I am very judicious about how I use it. Again, thank you!🙏🥹❤️
Bonnie I’m sorry you feel down at the moment. Take whatever time you need to mind and look after yourself. Like they say on the airlines put on your own oxygen mask FIRST. You know this UA-cam family will wait for you. I will rewatch some of your videos and hopefully that will bring in a bit of revenue. No matter how small a job you think you did at any premises always remember you left it way better than it was. Your kindness, compassion, empathy, humour, encouragement and laughter bring joy to so many people. Thank you for being you. Your mam is amazing 🤩 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍💐🙏
What a blessing to have a bond like this with your mom! Y’all are so sweet. And please take the time you need. Rest. We’ll still be here when you’re ready. ❤
Wait I missed that part I have tried for years to fit a folded sheet even watched videos and still just end up folding them over and over and stuffing them in a dresser drawer lol.. I get so frustrated. Anna In Ohio
Totally support your decision to make changes to care for yourself & family. Take all the time you need. We’ll be here patiently waiting and wishing you well. Love your content-Blessings from VA 🌺
Thank you so much, Linda! This is very generous of you. I have a thank you video coming out in a few minutes to more properly express my gratitude. I really appreciate your support!
This was a huge project to take on. You (and your mom) went above and beyond to help this person. In the end it is the homeowner who has to make the changes. I'm sorry you are not making more money with these videos. I hope that commenting and liking helps the algorythm. Thank you for being real and relatable! And don't worry about expectations of Mira's craftroom. I only expect you to find waterbottles 😀
Thank you for your sweet comment. And the water bottles thing made me laugh. We found enough water bottles to completely fill three or four trash bags and ran out of room in her recycling bin. Mira is hilarious!
Over the years, I have been the recipient of many well meaning people, giving me things. I was a single mother of 4 girls after my husband passed away. People gave me clothes and things I could sell in a yard sale, which didnt always sell, and that began my collection of stuff until the next yardsale. I held on to things, thinking it would eventually sell. My sweet neighbor left her entire house and all her possessions to me when she passed away, now leaving me under so much stuff. I am gradually getting rid of things and not depending on a yardsale. Finding a home for things has been difficult but it feels really good when things go out the door. You worked so hard in this house! Keep in mind you gave all that you had to give and don't beat yourself up for doing what you've done. You did an awesome job!!!! You should be so proud that you gave your time to help. No matter what the end result was, you need to give yourself credit for all your hard work. It was not wasted time and I know she appreciated all the work that you did. This was a great video!!!!!
“A shoe! Bless you!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG BONNIE IM DYING laughing!!!!! That was HILARIOUS!!!! And your mom saying, “Am I hearing silverware from the bathroom?!” 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard during this video, it made me so happy!!!! 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 Seeing you and your mom work together just made my weekend!!! You both are so precious and talented and funny!!! 😂😂😂 I’m so impressed that you two can work together so well, because that is not the case with many mother/daughter working teams!!!! The transformation you guys made with this house is truly remarkable, and I’m in awe that you didn’t just walk out and close the door behind you when you saw the state of her house and how unbelievably too much stuff she has!!!!!!!! You are wonderful and so is your mom and we love you!!!! 🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷🤩🤩🤩😍🤩😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎😎😎💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁
You are not too bummed and down in the video! You are genuine! It's no surprise that spending so much time in a hoard is affecting you emotionally. Hoards are signals of sadness, depression, despair, illness. I swear they soak up that energy. So you're flogging through that, breaking it up. I guess, just know I am sending you waves of understanding, care and gratitude. You have given me so much through posting these videos. Take good care of yourself wherever that leads. All the best ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being you. I suffer from mental illness as well and when you share on your videos I feel less alone…less defective. I’m ashamed of having to take the meds I do and certainly don’t talk to others about it. I don’t have much money to give you but would like to help you in some way. I’m in South Carolina so it would need to be remote and very behind the scenes. I’m sure you got what you need but wanted to offer. Please continue to do what you do because it does matter, it inspires those laying in bed crying their eyes out to see you work though it and also admit when you struggle. God bless you and your amazing mother! ❤
I really, really appreciate that, elaine. My channel has since picked up a lot recently and I am in a much better place mentally as well. So I am doing just fine. I also have a couple of really big things coming up that I think are going to really boost the growth of my channel, so I'm excited about that. I'm so thankful for your kind heart and your support.💗💗💗
This!! This is such a real comment. Simple but real. Don’t apologize for being honest and real to viewers about life being life ❤❤❤ we love watching you and your super mama!! ❤❤❤
Bonnie, I often thought you might have tackled too much physically and mentally with this hoarder clean-up. It was a ton of sorting to what end? God bless your sweet mother but at 72, she was jeopardizing her health and safety. Take some time to rest your body and mind and rethink what you want to do. You are kind and generous and I have enjoyed my time with you. I hope to see you, again. God bless you!!!
I sure do. And I just it did something I never thought I could do. The next lady I had lined up to help I could sense was going to be just as bad of an energy-sucker, if not worse, than the homeowner from this series, and I called her and told her that I just couldn't do it. I felt so guilty for about 10 minutes, and then this huge weight lifted off me, and I have not felt this free since probably a year ago. So, yes, boundaries are good, and it is okay for me to say no.🤗
Your childhood wasn't a lie for the pose. Your Mom was way ahead of her time! There is a scene from Grey's Anatomy that talks about a study that says a "superhero pose" provides benefits. The pose is very similar to the pose you do. From that scene it states if you stand in the superhero pose for 5 mins before a big task you will do much better and feel better going that task. I googled "superhero pose" and there's all kind of benefits! You can keep doing it.😊
Seriously?! I guess I was looking up the wrong thing. I was Googling specifically if it was helpful in lifting heavy things, and nothing came up specific to that. I guess that makes sense, though. And of course, if it was on Grey's Anatomy, it's got to be right... haha!😁
Bonnie you are doing a fabulous job. I absolutely love your videos. Please don’t leave us. I’m praying after some time off you will be rejuvenated and come back . Thank you for all who are blessed with your hard work.❤
Don't give up! your time of success will come very soon ... you are loved & watched across oceans mountains rivers hills ...all the way to Macedonia ...lots of love to you and your mom
I'm really glad Mac recommend your channel. I enjoy the content. I can relate to getting overwhelmed, I was helping a family with an ill family member and would just clean to kill time while I was there. By the next week it was trashed again. I know they had a lot on their plates with work, school stuff and probably depression. However, it wore me out cleaning to lighten their burden. I hope you can overcome the issues that are weighing on you. Big hug.
I have no doubt you'll "find your path" Bonnie. But I completely understand why you're feeling "defeated & drained". You are giving 110% & are making a big difference!!!!! Hugs to you on this Easter day.
The speed of the video gives me energy. I get up and clean some things after watching you and your mommy. I like that you got time with your mom and could do things together. I became a caretaker of my parents after they got sick and did it for about 10 years. I also watch you too and it raises my mood.
You can only do so much. There’s only so much time in a day & there’s only so much we ,as humans , can,take. You had extreme patience with “Julie” , more than I could have ever mustered up.
You are amazing. Just think how many years this lady has lived liked this. You have done an amazing job above and beyond. I'm only half way though but you can't 'cure or fix ' people that have mental disorders. You are amazing, dont forget it!
Your Oregon Viewer here, regarding your empty cup. I'm wondering if getting outside more in the sunshine might help lift your spirits. I truly believe negative energy is a real thing. When u take a break, go outside 4 a few minutes. The brightness of daylight & fresh air is uplifting. 3 things bring me happiness. 1) something to do 2)something to look forward to 3) something or someone to love I'm one of the poorest people u will meet, but one of the happiest. Feel free to reach out..😊
Thank you, Jeannie.🥹 You are so right. Negative energy is a real thing. I have been waiting for the sun to come out the past few days just to get a little lift in my mood, but it has been super dreary here, which I have no doubt is adding to my down mood. I love your list. Those are things that bring me joy as well. My mood has already changed so much since going to church and hearing the speaker talk about our Savior. Even He needed rest, so I don't know why I would be exempt from it.😊 Thanks again for sharing and helping to lift me up.🙏❤️
I have an illness that drains the little energy I have and depression on too. Every day is different. I had to move recently and it seemed like such a huge task. Yours, Mac’s and Barbie’s videos helped me through it. Thank you for all you do for people when it takes so much of your energy. Think of yourself first and do what you have to to make your life easier. We’ll be here for whatever you decide to do 🥰
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp You’re very welcome. I am truly moved by your kindness, respect and hard work you give to those that need you the most. I hope you are able to keep doing what you love.
You should do what you need to do. A paid cleaning job makes sense with this on the side. You and your mom made amazing progress. Whatever the outcome, congratulations!
One of the things about Auri is that she focuses on the fun in cleaning and I think she picks houses that aren’t large and crammed to the roof. What you are doing is such a godsend, and I want you to know that you’ve done everything you could in the time you have. Maybe one of your clients will be ungrateful or just so buried in their own problems they just go right back, it’s not worth taking all that in and feeling badly. You’ve done this fantastic job, we all can see it, not perfect but it’s progress, and we hope your client can move forward, if not then it’s outside what you should expect anyway. Your mom is totally cool!
Don’t get sad for not having achieved the three days goal. The ones who enjoy watching your job processes, like me just enjoy the new challenges too!!!
You've done more than enough for this family, so I don't think that the thought "I could have done more" is applicable here. The doors to changes open from the inside, so it looks like the homeowner isn't that ready yet. Agree with the other comments that it might be a great idea to start providing organization services as a job, you already have an impressive portfolio showcasing your skills on this channel) Hope you recuperate soon!
Your Mom is amazing; her stamina is incredible. And, you work so well together. You could definitely run estate sales for seniors downsizing, decluttering before a move, property management contract work for cleanouts. My suggestion for Mira is to sell mystery boxes through her UA-cam channel. Use the priority flat rate boxes. You should be rewarded financially for your hard work.
Thank you! It was really fun working with my mom on this home. Mira is actually working on putting together some mystery boxes to sell through her Channel. I may go up there for a few hours this week to help her put some of those together because I'd love to get all of that out of her house.😄
Thanks! You have helped me enormously with starting a slow organization of my sewing room. Learning to let go and purge is a beautiful thing and everything was donated to Teen Challenge.
It’s so nice to see you and your Mom together, enjoy every moment. Sorry you’re feeling down, I can relate. It’s amazing that you can pick yourself up and continue to help others. Yes, be careful with yourself and rest to refuel. 👍💞⭐️
Hugs! Thanks for sharing your honest feelings. I love your channel. You are a blessing to the people you serve. I know it's hard to remember that when you're in the thick of it.
My Mom is a hoarder. Being at her house drains me like nothing else. Her inability to cope and help herself will be my problem someday. It’s so depressing and I can’t imagine doing this all of the time. You are an angel and I hope God blesses you beyond measure.
I'm so sorry! Having only dealt with this for 2 months, I don't know how family members of Hoarders deal with it. I really thought that having an outside source of help would actually be a lot more helpful than if it was the family trying to help her, but, I think I have come to the conclusion that, unless they have been through some therapy to help them deal with getting rid of items, no matter who it is trying to help, you won't get anywhere. It's one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed. So, again, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. 😔
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I wanted to answer this yesterday, but I don't seem to be able to find what I wrote. But I wrote: I can't come and help, (I'm too far away), but I can help towards someone's lunch. Bon appetit.
How about your own cleaning company? You can definitely do that right? Also, you have to remember to cleanse your energy. Empaths especially have to. Go to the beach get in the water, walk barefoot in nature, that’s called grounding, meditate, do positive affirmations. Salt baths. Get protection crystals. And just pray. 🙏
I initially thought about starting a cleaning company, but that's a whole different kind of stress and a lot of training and hoops to jump through to get licenses, etc. I think if I can just do two or three paid jobs each month until things pick back up with UA-cam, we should be okay. Plus, I forget that we do have the option of taking out equity on our home if we really needed to. It's just a little rough patch, but I do need to take some time for myself.😊🙏
Ask if you can film those paid jobs. You never know, they may agree. Many youtubers film themselves cleaning everyday messes in "normal" houses. I also think this video will pay off in the future, once folks have given up their exercise and their other resolutions lol@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wpplease please do not take the equity out of your home. Talk to a financial advisor… heck call Dave Ramsey and ask him a financial advice question for free. Idk just an idea.
Don't worry. Besides taking money from our 401K, that would be the very last thing we would do because we are pretty frugal and aren't afraid of finding unconventional ways to get by, but it is a nice thought to know that, if things were absolutely turned upside down, we do have that as one option. I doubt we would ever get to that point, though.
Bonnie, I can relate to how you’ve been feeling too and trying to stay busy focusing on things I can control if that makes sense. When I’m “down” and that’s been a lot as I care for my 86 year old mom with Alzheimer’s 24/7, am disabled myself and can be physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting most days. Late at night when the world is asleep, I clean, organize, declutter, etc. I know it sounds stupid but at least I feel like I’m accomplishing something, something else to focus on and it does help to have a fresh perspective.You’ve done an amazing job with your mom and the homeowner❤. Happy Easter from our home to yours and remember that this too shall pass my friend ❤
I love your videos and never miss a single one. I think you are awesome at what you do and you do it with compassion. I hope things turn around for you. ❤
You and your Mom are the cutest ❤ She seems like an amazing woman. You can definitely see where you get your compassion and determination from 😊 I hope that you are able to find time to do things that bring you joy. Because some places and people can drain you, but you need a way to fill your tank back up....Everyone needs balance. You can't always be the one giving ❤
Keeping plugging along! Just showing up helps someone who is struggling and can’t figure it out alone. You do amazing things and I admire your courage. Hang in there
I love your relationship with your mother. You’re a very sweet person and I hope you figure out what kind of job you want and whether to keep cleaning on UA-cam. May God give you direction and peace with a decision. God bless you for helping so many people, it’s good that you’re realizing that you need to take care of yourself too.

Bonnie, a reply is never expected by me, so please don't feel the need to reply.
If you need to charge for the cleaning jobs, but still are able to film them, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that you would still have an audience. It doesn't have to be a free clean for me to watch. Many UA-camrs have sponsors, and their subscribers don't seem to mind or unsubscribe.
You're honest about who you are, and it's a big reason why we watch your videos. If you show cleaning videos where you say you also got paid for all of your hard work -- no big deal, I'd still watch them. Aurikatariina has sponsors, and I watch all of her videos. I'd watch yours too.😊
I love to organize for other people and clean whatever spaces they let me clean up. Your videos inspire me, truly. With that said, if you need to take a break from videos to earn a living, then go do just that. If we self care, we can care for others better. What do the flight training instructions always say?...put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. If you can't breathe, how can you expect to help someone else breathe?
Do what you gotta do, we'll be here.
Final thought: you and your mom are awesome!
Oh honey, hoarder houses are so very difficult. Do what you have to do. We will love seeing you on u tube. Do not feel like a failure. You can only give to much before your empty and running on reserves. May God bless you and guide you. Hugs from Arizona.
New to your channel, but came from Midwest Magic Cleaning and I love it! As you grow, your community will understand that you can’t be everywhere at once. It’s just basic math. I know the algorithm gods can be harsh, but hang in there because word is getting around. I will now be bingeing every video you’ve ever made. ❤
Aw, thank you! And I had to laugh when you talked about the algorithm Gods because I was just talking to Mack yesterday about how we should do a video of something that represents the algorithm and us bringing sacrifices to it and worshiping this algorithm God because that is what it feels like sometimes, like, "Have we displeased you in some way algorithm? How can we make it right?" 😅 Mack and I have a very similar sense of humor so it was fun to laugh about that for a minute.
A word of warning if you are binging all of my videos... the first three or four I put music in and some of it was very obnoxious.🤦♀️ I seriously had no idea what I was doing, but that was a less than a year ago, so I have come a long way, a lot of that thanks to Mack.😊 I wish I could go back and redo those, but that's not really how this works. Anyway, thank you so much for being here and that's sweet of you that you are going to go watch my other videos.💖🙏
I love Mom .Shes a keeper.Shes not 70 shes 36 love it that she loves you enought to help you when your low on unffa.That means energy in mom talk.Mack sent me.New to you great job ladys.
Put yourself first Bonnie. Being an empath around negativity is very draining. This house in particular has been greatly improved but really needs way more help for the person to overcome hoarding. That is not due to failure on your part.you did amazingly. I hope you will soon be feeling better and we will all see you again soon.
I love watching you clean and your mom!! You're amazing but your mom is super amazing because what she can do for her age❤❤ Prayers that hopefully everything works out for you the way that you want it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are much too hard on yourself. Think about how far ahead of the issue you were able to take this home, not how much more you had wanted to do. The homeowner is closer to a house that has more function than previously, and it is all because of YOU! Everyone appreciates you and is in your corner. You need to be in your own corner, because you deserve it. Good on your mom for helping you to remember how to have fun. She is a treasure!
You provide a valuable service. Taking money to clean doesn’t devalue the service or your commitment. Don’t despair!
I was encouraged to see that the owner had gone through the tower of shoes. I wish her the best and hope she can avoid eviction.
Love you so much, and I relate to the UA-cam struggle. You've made a huge difference in my life, and I love you. You've never disappointed me.
I have 8 pairs of shoes! Never understand having 50 or 100 pairs.
It’s not because you didn’t do enough for her. It’s because she has so very much stuff. You did everything possible so be proud of what you’ve done. Please don’t give up. We love to watch you.
Thank you, Mira. You have always been gracious and kind. I know that I didn't disappoint you with the scrapbook room. I just have a picture in my head when I go into a room and, when it doesn't turn out like that, I feel incomplete. And I know we aren't done either. Now that I have freed up some time this month because I did cancel that lady I was telling you about that was going to take so much time and energy, I can actually come up probably a couple more days this month and really get your scrapbook room in order. But I will probably give you a week or so in between coming up so that you have time to go through and Purge things as we pull them out. I think I expected too much in a short period of time and that's just not possible when there is so much for you to go through before we can really organize it. Anyway, I will be in touch! Love you, friend! ❤️
Bonnie- I enjoy watching you and your mom. My 2 cents- that project was waaaaay too much especially for free. Of course you are burned out- no great reward at the end right? No sense of completion. Remember you have to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help others.
Maybe you can take some “normal” paid cleaning jobs and only take on manageable , free jobs a couple of times a month.
You are so caring but do t forget to care for yourself 💕
Excellent point. This size of this job is huge. I priced my own hoard cleanup. One of the guys on hoarders does clean ups here in NH. My hoard is maybe
Thank you for the perspective. It really was way too much for just a couple of people to handle.
❤
I comment on videos maybe once a year at most. Just wanted to say, I had got myself into a situation of complete cleaning paralysis due to a combination of factors- some of the same factors that people you have cleaned for struggle with as well. I hit a point of desperation earlier today and searched for ‘extreme cleaning’ and your videos came up. I watched two of them while psyching myself up to just START CLEANING. The way you talk to and about your clients, and seeing how a mess of the same sort as mine evaporates under your hands, finally made me get up and just start. I watched another one when I took a break earlier and now I’m watching more of them to wind down ready to get back at it tomorrow.
My kitchen is finally clean. It has been months. I hope you choose to do whatever makes you happiest; if that doesn’t end up being cleaning videos, so be it - but I did just want to add my voice to the chorus of people telling you that you are making a difference for us just by doing what you do and sharing the process with us. A lot of the time I feel like I just have no idea where to begin because I am scared of getting it wrong, but watching you just dive in with enthusiasm and scrubbing and even admit when you wish you’d done something differently, makes me feel like ‘heck, I may as well have a go at it’. I am not exaggerating when I say that I was working with, on average, 10cm squared of available counter space. Today I finally got to remember what it was like cooking a meal in an actual kitchen rather than a chaos dump. Thankyou so much.
Wow, I don't even know what to say. You made me feel so good. 🥹❤️🙏I have been reminded so much these last few days that my videos aren't just about the people I help, but that other people are getting some value from them and tackling their own messes. I don't feel like I articulate things very well or explain my process very well all the time, but I'm so happy to hear that you are at least gaining some perspective on things, that you aren't in this alone, and that it really starts with just moving things around and figuring out what's there and doing just a little bit each day. And it sounds like you have learned that there is no wrong way to do it. I used to get a lot of comments in the first few months of my videos that I was cleaning something wrong and it used to really bother me because it's not like I'm a trained professional. I just like to do this stuff for fun and, to me, it doesn't matter how you get there. Then other people started pointing that out as well, and I like that I can show it doesn't have to be done exactly like a professional would do it. Sometimes it's messy, but you have to do it in a way that works for YOU. Better is better no matter how you got there. 😊Anyway, thank you so much for your comment and I'm so happy to hear that you are starting to make progress with your own home. Best of luck to you!🙏🥰
This was such an incredible comment. Love to you!❤❤❤
Bonnie I love your videos ❤❤❤ I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now ❤️❤️❤️ Also your Mom is adorable and so sweet 😃
The size of this job was incomprehensible, yet you and your team doggedly went at it day by day. You have my admiration and hope that the home owner comes to the realisation just how generous you have been. I am so sorry that this project has left you out of pocket. More subscribers and views needed!
Bonnie, you and mom did the best you could do under the circumstances.
Job well done.
Don’t put this on you. You and your mom did great with what you had to work with. You didn’t create this mess but you definitely improved it. I hope this owner continues seeing a therapist. If not, eviction is probably inevitable. And that’s not your fault.
What I do is watch videos like this. I am 77 years old working through my house. It is a lot of work but it help me with ideas 💡. Make me HAPPY I can do it. I had open heart surgery 5 years ago THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🥰💖🙏🌹🌹♥️♥️
Sorry you are feeling down. You have inspired me to tackle my mess. I understand why you can feel down being around so much unhappiness. Please don't give up as me and many other members need your cheerful smile to help keep us going in this crazy world. Blessings
I'm definitely not done with UA-cam. I have moments where I wonder what in the world I'm doing, but ultimately I think I would miss it too much. I just need to focus on the good I'm doing and not spend too much time thinking about the things that I can't change, like the homeowners. Thank you for also reminding me that this helps to motivate others to clean their homes, especially getting to peek into homes like this that have gotten so unmanageable. ❤️🙏
Sorry you are not feeling well doing that kind of cleaning it takes a toll on your body i love your videos you arevan awesome cleaner dont know how u do it.dont worry about utubing if u need time off your health is important and family,your mom is a real trooper.
I just heard you say that mum was 72!!!! Holy moly i can't believe that.Fine example of never give up until !❤
Thank you for sharing about your feelings and frustrations with these projects. Your desire to do them for free can be extremely taxing. Receiving payment for these jobs could be meaningful for the owners as well as you. I wish you the best.
Yes. I have learned a lot from my experiences at this house and now have boundaries in place. Even if it didn't turn out the way I had hoped, it was an education in how to handle future projects like this. Thanks for your support!
I love when you mentioned your mom was 72, and she just casually said, “I’m 36.”
😅👍
Watch vids like yours as struggle with clutter & cleaning due to mobility & serious autoimmune. It helps my motivation & gives me ideas best way to try with my own home. Xx
I'm so glad! I wish you the very best!🥰
The hand slapping with your mom is so cute. I would so love to have had my mom until she was 72 or older. I lost her at 59 (I was 21).
That is way too young to lose your mom. I'm so sorry.😪
I'm so sorry for your loss. That was really young to lose your Mom. My heart goes out to you.
Bonnie your mum is an absolute superstar 🤩❤
Love the relationship you have with your Mum ❤
Go Bonnie Go!!!! 😊❤❤❤❤
When I’m in a mood I watch cleaning videos and lawn mowing videos (super sped up) and seeing the fast progress really motivates and lifts me up and I go clean something in my own home. 🌸💕
So true! I love to see super quick transformations! It just makes me want to get up and do something.🤗💕
When I feel little down, I watch videos such as these, where you can see goal/challenges achieved. That motivates me and see others facing challenges such as many of mine!
I understand how disheartening it is to work so hard but not have the end result be what it could have been in spite of all your efforts. Please take time to rest- mentally and physically. We’re all here to support you and we know what a special person you are.
lol. You don't even seem that depressed Bonnie...you are amazing in this video! God bless you ❤
I hope we can all help Bonnie with a little Thank You donation. Maybe we can all give just a little to help cheer her up and get her over this hump!
You and your mom bring so much fun! Continue to bring her with you!! I’ve never laughed so hard in my life!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
@colleenisaac6647 yes. Just sent a donation.
@@anncromarty2590 I did! Happy to do so.
@colleenisaac6647 me too! She so deserves the support.
You guys are so sweet! I'm kind of feeling bad that I said anything because I don't want anyone feeling like they need to donate because I'm probably overreacting as we do have a lot of equity in our home if we really needed to use it to survive. There are a lot of people in a lot worse situations than I am. But I really do appreciate your support. I still intend to use those funds to help the homeowners, but I am very judicious about how I use it. Again, thank you!🙏🥹❤️
Köszönjük!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.🙏
Bonnie I’m sorry you feel down at the moment. Take whatever time you need to mind and look after yourself. Like they say on the airlines put on your own oxygen mask FIRST. You know this UA-cam family will wait for you. I will rewatch some of your videos and hopefully that will bring in a bit of revenue. No matter how small a job you think you did at any premises always remember you left it way better than it was. Your kindness, compassion, empathy, humour, encouragement and laughter bring joy to so many people. Thank you for being you. Your mam is amazing 🤩 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍💐🙏
You are so sweet. Thank you, Mary!🥰
You barbie and Mac make my day when i get a video notification from your channels
😁👌
You're the best! Thank you!
Ditto.... same here
@@debfinicle9680 👍👍
Yep and don't forget Coline too 😀
Same ❤
What a blessing to have a bond like this with your mom! Y’all are so sweet. And please take the time you need. Rest. We’ll still be here when you’re ready. ❤
You are just the sweetest soul! Blessings!❤
YOU are the sweetest! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!😘🙏
Whatever happens, just know that you taught this thankful 33 year old solo mom how to fold a fitted sheet! ❤❤
I think of Bonnie every time I fold my fitted sheets! I marvel at how nicely they fold now❤
Me too! I didn't "get" it until I watched Bonnie. I'm 48
Wait I missed that part I have tried for years to fit a folded sheet even watched videos and still just end up folding them over and over and stuffing them in a dresser drawer lol.. I get so frustrated. Anna In Ohio
You and your mom are so cute and fun together ❤
The walk down the red carpet brought me so much joy ❤
😁👍❤️
U and ur mom are amazing. Praying things are better for you Romans 8:28
Totally support your decision to make changes to care for yourself & family. Take all the time you need. We’ll be here patiently waiting and wishing you well. Love your content-Blessings from VA 🌺
Thank you so much, Linda! This is very generous of you. I have a thank you video coming out in a few minutes to more properly express my gratitude. I really appreciate your support!
This was a huge project to take on. You (and your mom) went above and beyond to help this person. In the end it is the homeowner who has to make the changes.
I'm sorry you are not making more money with these videos. I hope that commenting and liking helps the algorythm.
Thank you for being real and relatable!
And don't worry about expectations of Mira's craftroom. I only expect you to find waterbottles 😀
Thank you for your sweet comment. And the water bottles thing made me laugh. We found enough water bottles to completely fill three or four trash bags and ran out of room in her recycling bin. Mira is hilarious!
Over the years, I have been the recipient of many well meaning people, giving me things. I was a single mother of 4 girls after my husband passed away. People gave me clothes and things I could sell in a yard sale, which didnt always sell, and that began my collection of stuff until the next yardsale. I held on to things, thinking it would eventually sell. My sweet neighbor left her entire house and all her possessions to me when she passed away, now leaving me under so much stuff. I am gradually getting rid of things and not depending on a yardsale. Finding a home for things has been difficult but it feels really good when things go out the door.
You worked so hard in this house! Keep in mind you gave all that you had to give and don't beat yourself up for doing what you've done. You did an awesome job!!!! You should be so proud that you gave your time to help. No matter what the end result was, you need to give yourself credit for all your hard work. It was not wasted time and I know she appreciated all the work that you did.
This was a great video!!!!!
Sounds like you got into a very overwhelming position. 😮💨Good for you for getting yourself on your way to getting things out of your house.❤️
“A shoe! Bless you!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG BONNIE IM DYING laughing!!!!! That was HILARIOUS!!!! And your mom saying, “Am I hearing silverware from the bathroom?!” 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard during this video, it made me so happy!!!! 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 Seeing you and your mom work together just made my weekend!!! You both are so precious and talented and funny!!! 😂😂😂 I’m so impressed that you two can work together so well, because that is not the case with many mother/daughter working teams!!!! The transformation you guys made with this house is truly remarkable, and I’m in awe that you didn’t just walk out and close the door behind you when you saw the state of her house and how unbelievably too much stuff she has!!!!!!!! You are wonderful and so is your mom and we love you!!!! 🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷🤩🤩🤩😍🤩😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎😎😎💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁
Hahaha... thank you! We had a lot of fun together. I think I would have given up a lot sooner if my mom hadn't been there. Thanks for your support!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I think I would have given up just glancing at the basement!!! 😂😂😂 you ladies are fantastic!!! 💪🏻💪🏻🤩🤩
You are not too bummed and down in the video! You are genuine! It's no surprise that spending so much time in a hoard is affecting you emotionally. Hoards are signals of sadness, depression, despair, illness. I swear they soak up that energy. So you're flogging through that, breaking it up. I guess, just know I am sending you waves of understanding, care and gratitude. You have given me so much through posting these videos. Take good care of yourself wherever that leads. All the best ❤❤❤❤
🙏
Thank you for being you. I suffer from mental illness as well and when you share on your videos I feel less alone…less defective. I’m ashamed of having to take the meds I do and certainly don’t talk to others about it. I don’t have much money to give you but would like to help you in some way. I’m in South Carolina so it would need to be remote and very behind the scenes. I’m sure you got what you need but wanted to offer.
Please continue to do what you do because it does matter, it inspires those laying in bed crying their eyes out to see you work though it and also admit when you struggle.
God bless you and your amazing mother! ❤
I really, really appreciate that, elaine. My channel has since picked up a lot recently and I am in a much better place mentally as well. So I am doing just fine. I also have a couple of really big things coming up that I think are going to really boost the growth of my channel, so I'm excited about that. I'm so thankful for your kind heart and your support.💗💗💗
Life is REAL, Thank you for being REAL and sharing. Stay positive.
This!! This is such a real comment. Simple but real. Don’t apologize for being honest and real to viewers about life being life ❤❤❤ we love watching you and your super mama!! ❤❤❤
Bonnie, I often thought you might have tackled too much physically and mentally with this hoarder clean-up. It was a ton of sorting to what end? God bless your sweet mother but at 72, she was jeopardizing her health and safety. Take some time to rest your body and mind and rethink what you want to do. You are kind and generous and I have enjoyed my time with you. I hope to see you, again. God bless you!!!
Keep up the great work. UA-cam is a strange beast. Hopefully it'll will pick up again soon. Best wishes from Ireland, regards Dermot.
I'm sure things will pick up again soon. I really appreciate your support! Thank you so much. 🙏❤️❤️
You did so much for that family. Never think it wasn't enough. Keep up the good work
Oh sweetheart you really need to start placing boundaries for yourself and for others xx
I sure do. And I just it did something I never thought I could do. The next lady I had lined up to help I could sense was going to be just as bad of an energy-sucker, if not worse, than the homeowner from this series, and I called her and told her that I just couldn't do it. I felt so guilty for about 10 minutes, and then this huge weight lifted off me, and I have not felt this free since probably a year ago. So, yes, boundaries are good, and it is okay for me to say no.🤗
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I’m so proud of you ❤️
You are amazing Bonnie, don't forget that. Very few people in the world can/will do what you do for people!
Just being an extreme empath can be overwhelming at times. Because you feel every one’s pain 😊❤☝️😞❤️
Absolutely.
Your childhood wasn't a lie for the pose. Your Mom was way ahead of her time! There is a scene from Grey's Anatomy that talks about a study that says a "superhero pose" provides benefits. The pose is very similar to the pose you do. From that scene it states if you stand in the superhero pose for 5 mins before a big task you will do much better and feel better going that task. I googled "superhero pose" and there's all kind of benefits! You can keep doing it.😊
Seriously?! I guess I was looking up the wrong thing. I was Googling specifically if it was helpful in lifting heavy things, and nothing came up specific to that. I guess that makes sense, though. And of course, if it was on Grey's Anatomy, it's got to be right... haha!😁
Bonnie you are doing a fabulous job. I absolutely love your videos. Please don’t leave us. I’m praying after some time off you will be rejuvenated and come back . Thank you for all who are blessed with your hard work.❤
Thanks so much. I know I'm not done here yet. I just need to figure out how to get through the next couple of months.😊
Don't give up! your time of success will come very soon ... you are loved & watched across oceans mountains rivers hills ...all the way to Macedonia ...lots of love to you and your mom
Mom's have a way of making things better!😊
They do. 😊❤️
I'm really glad Mac recommend your channel. I enjoy the content. I can relate to getting overwhelmed, I was helping a family with an ill family member and would just clean to kill time while I was there. By the next week it was trashed again. I know they had a lot on their plates with work, school stuff and probably depression. However, it wore me out cleaning to lighten their burden. I hope you can overcome the issues that are weighing on you. Big hug.
🥰🙏
I have no doubt you'll "find your path" Bonnie. But I completely understand why you're feeling "defeated & drained". You are giving 110% & are making a big difference!!!!! Hugs to you on this Easter day.
🙏❤️
You did what you could. No one could ask for more. Make sure you take care of you, that is most important! ❤ you!
The speed of the video gives me energy. I get up and clean some things after watching you and your mommy. I like that you got time with your mom and could do things together. I became a caretaker of my parents after they got sick and did it for about 10 years. I also watch you too and it raises my mood.
I'm so glad! Thanks for sharing that. 💖
When I am down, I find that dancing around the house, going to church, working out, and doing projects around the house lift my mood.
You can only do so much. There’s only so much time in a day & there’s only so much we ,as humans , can,take. You had extreme patience with “Julie” , more than I could have ever mustered up.
You are amazing. Just think how many years this lady has lived liked this. You have done an amazing job above and beyond. I'm only half way though but you can't 'cure or fix ' people that have mental disorders. You are amazing, dont forget it!
You are one of the kindest souls! I wish you lived close to! Your Mom is wonderful God bless you both!❤❤❤
As creative as you are, I know you'll find a path that is right for you. Wishing you joy and good vibes.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kindness and support.🥹❤️🙏
Your Oregon Viewer here, regarding your empty cup. I'm wondering if getting outside more in the sunshine might help lift your spirits. I truly believe negative energy is a real thing.
When u take a break, go outside 4 a few minutes. The brightness of daylight & fresh air is uplifting.
3 things bring me happiness.
1) something to do
2)something to look forward to
3) something or someone to love
I'm one of the poorest people u will meet, but one of the happiest. Feel free to reach out..😊
So sweet 🫂 ❤
💞💯🙏
Thank you, Jeannie.🥹 You are so right. Negative energy is a real thing. I have been waiting for the sun to come out the past few days just to get a little lift in my mood, but it has been super dreary here, which I have no doubt is adding to my down mood. I love your list. Those are things that bring me joy as well. My mood has already changed so much since going to church and hearing the speaker talk about our Savior. Even He needed rest, so I don't know why I would be exempt from it.😊
Thanks again for sharing and helping to lift me up.🙏❤️
❤️🙏🏻💗💯
Your mother is adorable!
I have an illness that drains the little energy I have and depression on too. Every day is different. I had to move recently and it seemed like such a huge task. Yours, Mac’s and Barbie’s videos helped me through it. Thank you for all you do for people when it takes so much of your energy. Think of yourself first and do what you have to to make your life easier.
We’ll be here for whatever you decide to do 🥰
I have a similar problem with empathy. Remember the good you are doing for others and that you are with your mom. Your mom is great!
Thanks!
This is so kind of you! Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness.🥹🙏❤️
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp You’re very welcome. I am truly moved by your kindness, respect and hard work you give to those that need you the most. I hope you are able to keep doing what you love.
Love seeing you and your mom's interactions! Keep up the positive work❤
You should do what you need to do. A paid cleaning job makes sense with this on the side. You and your mom made amazing progress. Whatever the outcome, congratulations!
"Elf" and "A League of Their Own" 😊
One of the things about Auri is that she focuses on the fun in cleaning and I think she picks houses that aren’t large and crammed to the roof. What you are doing is such a godsend, and I want you to know that you’ve done everything you could in the time you have. Maybe one of your clients will be ungrateful or just so buried in their own problems they just go right back, it’s not worth taking all that in and feeling badly. You’ve done this fantastic job, we all can see it, not perfect but it’s progress, and we hope your client can move forward, if not then it’s outside what you should expect anyway. Your mom is totally cool!
Don’t get sad for not having achieved the three days goal. The ones who enjoy watching your job processes, like me just enjoy the new challenges too!!!
You've done more than enough for this family, so I don't think that the thought "I could have done more" is applicable here. The doors to changes open from the inside, so it looks like the homeowner isn't that ready yet.
Agree with the other comments that it might be a great idea to start providing organization services as a job, you already have an impressive portfolio showcasing your skills on this channel) Hope you recuperate soon!
Your Mom is amazing; her stamina is incredible. And, you work so well together. You could definitely run estate sales for seniors downsizing, decluttering before a move, property management contract work for cleanouts. My suggestion for Mira is to sell mystery boxes through her UA-cam channel. Use the priority flat rate boxes. You should be rewarded financially for your hard work.
Thank you! It was really fun working with my mom on this home. Mira is actually working on putting together some mystery boxes to sell through her Channel. I may go up there for a few hours this week to help her put some of those together because I'd love to get all of that out of her house.😄
Thanks! It’s hard work you are doing and can be so discouraging. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thank you so much! People have been so kind. I appreciate your support!🙏
Thanks! You have helped me enormously with starting a slow organization of my sewing room. Learning to let go and purge is a beautiful thing and everything was donated to Teen Challenge.
You're so sweet. 😋 Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your support. ❤️🙏
It’s so nice to see you and your Mom together, enjoy every moment.
Sorry you’re feeling down, I can relate. It’s amazing that you can pick yourself up and continue to help others. Yes, be careful with yourself and rest to refuel. 👍💞⭐️
You are such a blessing ❤
Hugs! Thanks for sharing your honest feelings. I love your channel. You are a blessing to the people you serve. I know it's hard to remember that when you're in the thick of it.
Thank you so much!🥹❤️
My Mom is a hoarder. Being at her house drains me like nothing else. Her inability to cope and help herself will be my problem someday. It’s so depressing and I can’t imagine doing this all of the time. You are an angel and I hope God blesses you beyond measure.
I'm so sorry! Having only dealt with this for 2 months, I don't know how family members of Hoarders deal with it. I really thought that having an outside source of help would actually be a lot more helpful than if it was the family trying to help her, but, I think I have come to the conclusion that, unless they have been through some therapy to help them deal with getting rid of items, no matter who it is trying to help, you won't get anywhere. It's one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed. So, again, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. 😔
You and your mom made a huge difference. You made it soooo much better than it was
Tak!
You didn't need to do that, Helle! But, thank you. I really do appreciate it!!❤️❤️❤️

This was a beautiful series, you were such a gift to this family and our community! Thank you for what you do ❤
Thank you so much!🙏
How about your own cleaning company? You can definitely do that right? Also, you have to remember to cleanse your energy. Empaths especially have to. Go to the beach get in the water, walk barefoot in nature, that’s called grounding, meditate, do positive affirmations. Salt baths. Get protection crystals. And just pray. 🙏
I initially thought about starting a cleaning company, but that's a whole different kind of stress and a lot of training and hoops to jump through to get licenses, etc. I think if I can just do two or three paid jobs each month until things pick back up with UA-cam, we should be okay. Plus, I forget that we do have the option of taking out equity on our home if we really needed to. It's just a little rough patch, but I do need to take some time for myself.😊🙏
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp

Ask if you can film those paid jobs. You never know, they may agree. Many youtubers film themselves cleaning everyday messes in "normal" houses. I also think this video will pay off in the future, once folks have given up their exercise and their other resolutions lol@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp

Don't worry. Besides taking money from our 401K, that would be the very last thing we would do because we are pretty frugal and aren't afraid of finding unconventional ways to get by, but it is a nice thought to know that, if things were absolutely turned upside down, we do have that as one option. I doubt we would ever get to that point, though.
Bonnie, I can relate to how you’ve been feeling too and trying to stay busy focusing on things I can control if that makes sense. When I’m “down” and that’s been a lot as I care for my 86 year old mom with Alzheimer’s 24/7, am disabled myself and can be physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting most days. Late at night when the world is asleep, I clean, organize, declutter, etc. I know it sounds stupid but at least I feel like I’m accomplishing something, something else to focus on and it does help to have a fresh perspective.You’ve done an amazing job with your mom and the homeowner❤. Happy Easter from our home to yours and remember that this too shall pass my friend ❤
Yes it does! Thank you. 😘
I love your videos and never miss a single one. I think you are awesome at what you do and you do it with compassion. I hope things turn around for you. ❤
Thank you so much!🥹❤️
So nice to hear the homeowners reaction to your clean up. You all did very well, keep up the good work
You and your Mom are the cutest ❤ She seems like an amazing woman. You can definitely see where you get your compassion and determination from 😊 I hope that you are able to find time to do things that bring you joy. Because some places and people can drain you, but you need a way to fill your tank back up....Everyone needs balance. You can't always be the one giving ❤
Thanks Bonnie, hope things improve soon, your videos support and encourage me in sorting my own clutter. Thank you.
Aw, thank you so much! I really, really appreciate that!🥰🙏
Keeping plugging along! Just showing up helps someone who is struggling and can’t figure it out alone. You do amazing things and I admire your courage. Hang in there
Please do you too after all it is your life, take care! ❤ 🤗
I love your relationship with your mother. You’re a very sweet person and I hope you figure out what kind of job you want and whether to keep cleaning on UA-cam. May God give you direction and peace with a decision. God bless you for helping so many people, it’s good that you’re realizing that you need to take care of yourself too.
