Much has happened since I last posted here. I've published two books! The first, a book of poems, is a bucket list item completed. I started writing poetry in college. Then, after a two-decade hiatus, I started writing again in my forties. This collection touches on themes of nature and renewal, especially the healing power in each of us, as we find meaning and grace in the act of appreciation. The volume is called Walking on Water.
Then, last year, I was invited to write a self-help book on finding meaning and purpose in midlife. I have long wanted to write self-help, but I didn't know how to structure the material. I seized this opportunity both as a learning experience and to share the ways that I have created a life I love after 40. The book is filled with prompts and practices that I have shared with clients over the years, helping people leave behind work that feels like drudgery and relationships that feel like obligations. At the same time, the exercises help readers identify how they want to live going forward, in ways that feel juicy, rich, and aligned with their adult selves. This book is called After 40: Meaning of Life Journal.
Because I am now writing in multiple formats - poetry, self help, and personal essays, I've created a website to share my work, rather than this blog, which has served me and my readers well for so many years. So, I want to invite you to visit me at www.julielevinauthor.com. There, you will find all my latest pieces, and you'll be able to subscribe to get notifications whenever I publish something new.
I'm looking so forward to sharing my work with you!
