We're on a mission to give you more time for the things that matter most, while leaving this planet better than we found it. This is one step in the direction of exploring parts of the mind present tense that are new, unknown, and full of possibility. A guided journal structured around the phases of the moon; provides a place to note feelings of gratitude and moments of mindfulness while celebrating the turn of the seasons. I realized the evolving sets of monthly prompts could be templates to be shared and exchanged with others.

With references to ’70s astrology, architecture, and art and a set of evolving monthly writing prompts and suggestions for physical activities; can be completed individually or with a partner, and will offer readers some perspective on the present and their recent past. Loosely organized around the phases of the moon and punctuated with references to ’70s astrology, architecture, and art, Moon Lists encourages journalers to stop and reflect on the precious moments in their lives before time passes them by. Every week in this journal provides a list-making prompt or memory-gathering touchstone for self-reflection.A set of evolving monthly writing prompts and suggestions for physical activities can be completed individually or with a partner, and will offer readers some perspective on the present and their recent past. Observing inner life in this format can be useful for both addressing the specific (ie: starting a new project or addressing an emotional block) or more generally distilling the magnitude of ongoingness into tangible examples. It was structured around students creating and guiding their own creative pursuits, and to design a degree around that. I have not worked in an office in over five years, so the biggest change brought on by the presence of COVID-19 is just the quantity of time spent at home.

The goal here is just to set aside time for weekly and monthly reflection, however that works best for you; it’s a reminder to notice something you might not otherwise and readjust your framing. Choosing the way you observe, reflect on, and document what’s going on at present is a reminder: you are in control of your narrative. The concept for Moon Lists was sparked by a random detail in a tiny regional magazine: a mention from photographer Sam Abell about a monthly question-asking, self-reflection ritual he shared with his wife. From the twins to the crab, chatty Gemini yields to caring Cancer from June 22 – July 22 in the Western zodiac.The Moon Lists is a new way to journal: Filled with 18 months of exercises for breaking through creative, emotional, and transitional roadblocks, it introduces a routine practice of digging below the surface to explore parts of the mind that are new, unknown, and full of possibility.

At the end of each month is a set of questions constructed to look back on the last four weeks as a collective whole. The questions help me put pencil to paper with thoughts I may have never written or paused to consider. There is no wrong way to do it, but I do think it becomes meaningful to separate the Moon List-ing from other to-do lists or notebooks you might use to structure a workday or task list.Come and go as you please with this book- it's undated and always available to help guide you through your thoughts.
