To tap into those uninterrupted moments of repose, we turned to our friend, Leigh Patterson of Moon Lists. I read about this book somewhere and thought the premise was great because the original idea that she took from a couple she encountered WAS great - what the author did with it however.

It was structured around students creating and guiding their own creative pursuits, and to design a degree around that. It initially started from reading an interview with photographer Sam Abell, a former National Geographic photographer with a 35-year career who now lives in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. It has helped me crystalize that the most obvious path is usually not the best one, and to hold that same standard of critical thinking across all projects and clients I collaborate with.

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. Journaling can synthesize our idea of who we appear to be and who we actually are, serving as a hinge between our abstract ideas of personhood versus the tangible details of our days.

At the end of each month is a set of questions constructed to look back on the last four weeks as a collective whole. Moon Lists is one step in a direction of exploring parts of the mind + present tense that are new, unknown, and full of possibility; filled with 18 months of exercises for breaking through creative, emotional, and transitional roadblocks, it prompts asking painlessly provocative questions that inspire breaking through creative roadblocks and connecting with a deeper way of being.

Every week in this journal provides a list-making prompt or memory-gathering touchstone for self-reflection. I personally use a favorite pen, set aside a time to do it each month, and literally schedule it into my day like I would an appointment.
