A guided journal for all: approachable questions and prompts to ignite something in even those that have a difficult time putting pen to paper. Traditionally and across cultures the phases of the moon are regarded with different types of meaning, from new beginnings to intention setting to times of surrendering acceptance. Originally this existed solely as an interview series, where I would ask different women to respond to prompts based on their last month. 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. We took a moment with her to reflect on her journey and explain about her unique services, as well as discovering her.

We are so excited to welcome our founder and director Olivia Crighton as a practitioner in the therapy room, where she will be offering a variety of healing services. The Moon Lists by Leigh Patterson is a workbook filled with questions, list-making ideas, and prompts for taking inventory of the self; One step in a direction of exploring parts of the mind + present tense that are new, unknown, and full of possibility.

Some of the things I collect are tangible and mount into piles of many layers and when the time comes to use those saved images I dig like an archaeologist and sometimes find what I want and sometimes don’t. 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. Full time, Leigh Patterson runs Lucca Studio, a creative branding studio focusing on words, images and ideas for clients such as Cereal, COS and J. A perfect gift for yourself or a friend, this beautifully designed journal helps expand all aspects of your creative, personal, and emotional self.

The Moon Lists are a side project for Leigh, a true passion project for which she exerts the same care and dedication that she puts into her clients’ work.

A 12-month analog workbook, The Moon Lists uses prompts, list-making, and specific observations as a way to reflect, creatively expand, and see the present with refined perspective. This interactive form has only been amplified during quarantine, where days have felt at once emotionally loaded and exceptionally rote. And while that seems like maybe a parent’s cliched nightmare-ish combo, today my work for Moon Lists and also for my studio LUCCA (aka my “real” job) touches on all these things.Having been subscribed to the newsletters for a while, we were delighted when we heard that founder Leigh Patterson was taking the concept one step further and turning it into a physical workbook. I realized the evolving sets of monthly prompts could be templates to be shared and exchanged with others. There are different ways to consider the present, from the objects and themes that are front-ofbrain to the sensory details that have filled in the spaces in between moments. 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. 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.
