Earning Fifty and Really Owning It
This past Sunday night I attended a community gathering in Boulder, that I’ve frequented in the past, to practice a group process. During the first “round” there were five of us and I found myself seated between two bright beautiful young women in their early 20’s. Oh wait, have I mentioned that I’m turning 50 […]
mindfulness…is a request
mindfulness…is a request by nancy levin mindfulness is a request to retire auto-pilot to invite inquiry around what’s truly alive inside in each moment allowing attention to swell and land igniting authentic movement sometimes i still find it so confronting to listen closely for my desire as it rises still so easy for it to […]
My Week of Embracing NEW
This week I’m jumping into all sorts of new experiences, including: ski clinics, workshopping material for my next book, and dance lessons! In the past, fear of the unknown used to shut me down. Hell, let me be honest here. Fear of not knowing, being out of my comfort zone and out of control and […]
Are You Ready to Experience Resonance by Feeling Seen, Heard and Met?
I write this just outside of Santa Cruz where I’m on my last day of attending a 5-day retreat focused on conscious communication and effective influence. We are 20 participants and 4 facilitators split into 2 work groups of 12, living in 2 houses, spending a minimum of 13 hours daily in group process plus […]
Are You Supported As You Grow and Change?
I started working on my next book!!! Holed up together at my place in Boulder for the last few days of 2014, my editor – who also happens to be my dearest of friends – and I created the detailed outline that is now my roadmap for writing. One of my true triumphs over the […]
Everything Changes When We Make One Different Choice
Over the past few days, I’ve been taking several spoonfuls of my own medicine, specifically by embracing two of the steps in my book Jump! … And Your Life Will Appear –– Step 4: Make One Different Choice and Step 10: Say Yes … And Then Say It Again … And Again. For example, last […]
Are you being dragged up someone else’s double black diamond bump run?
I skied on Saturday…again, and for the first time. You see, skiing and I have not always been friends. I’m not one of those people who grew up skiing, but when I moved to Colorado at 27 it certainly seemed the thing do. After all, out here people mainline The Weather Channel and everyone’s favorite […]
Disengage Your “Rally Muscle”
I had been the Event Director at Hay House for a decade, without ever taking a week off. Spending an average of two thirds each year on the road – 213 days was my record, and 73-days straight with just carry-on luggage! – I didn’t long for additional travel. And when I was at home, […]
Work Hard Play Hard
Growing up, I never had much appreciation or reverence for play. In fact, I used to think that happiness and fun were for other people. I found play a waste of time, and believed that people who engaged in it were lazy or not on a serious path. I have since learned that play is […]
Uncover What Keeps You Joylessly Holding Onto the Past
Last Friday I had a surprise overnight getaway with my man. On Saturday morning I woke naturally, as usual – anywhere between 5am and 6am is fair game for me – but unexpectedly, there was no possible way I could get out of bed. I was bone tired, and instead of poking, prodding and guilting […]
