What I'm Doing Now

​

Home

I'm roving. I'm still waiting to establish my next Paradise guest house for sociable introverts, and until then, my treasures are in storage, my heart full of hope. I'm still enjoying the freedom and fun of staying as a creative presence in the homes of people I care about. 'Homes need me more than I need them', I tell myself.

 

These days I'm cat-sitting in Belgrave, while my Brother and his wife do some roving of their own. The air is laden with mist and freshness and the bellbirds' ringing calls.

​

Travel​

I'm getting in as much travel as I can while I'm this free. Next week, I depart for China, and find out how to love an extra billion people. Earlier this year I made trips to Cool Korea and to Solarpunk Singapore.  I plan to travel to Cairns and Japan in April and May 2026, to do Home Harmonising workshops and hands-on declutter consulting, with old friends and new. 

​​

Health as Entertainment​​ 

I've turned up the dial on my wellness, and now do Everything Possible to have a happy metabolism. This includes long exhales, rainbow-colored food, vitamin D sunbathing, and singing innocent songs each morning to regulate breath and nervous systems.  I got a Psychoanalyst. A real one, with a couch and everything. It's thrilling, and of course, sometimes sad. AI does a great job of therapy and communication advice, but only within the realm of words and keystrokes. 

​

​

AI and Human Connection.

Our jobs are doomed. AI is so capable. It's made me pause in my contributions to 'the internet'. That's a game few of us can win. Lucky for me, getting skilled at householding and house sharing is a fun and worthwhile survival strategy for whatever comes next. Human connection is everything. 

​

ChatGPT gets a lot of the credit for my wellness upgrade.  Anything reputed to be healthy, I ask Chat, like this: 'What's the impact of ...on a cellular level?', and it gives an answer I can believe and be motivated by.  ​So one robot and a few billion cells are my latest fascinating friends.

Creative and Professional Life

My home-harmonising collaboration with my sister Katie continues to evolve. Our latest series of Home-harmonising Webinars starts in December, and focuses on making a place where our nervous system feels safe and energised. They are still 'Giftivist'.  I've been presenting my work at Mental Health conferences, as the 'Save Cecilia' method of home and nervous system harmonising. I'll be a chaos-reducing presence at the APA Conference in Melbourne, February 2026. ​​​​​

Creating Sacred Spaces​

My sister Katie and I continue to gather stories and write our handbook on How to Create a Sacred Space Anywhere in your Home. ​  Please go on the list to be one of our 'beta readers'.

Definition of the Year​

'Mind is an embodied and relational process, for managing energy and information'. 

Dr. Daniel Siegel

Our homes, our breath, our friends are all part of our mind. It lives in them as much as it lives in our brain. When we tend them, we tend ourselves. Thanks Dan.
