POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi. Let’s get to know ourselves again, together.

The world? Chaos. The vibes? Deeply Unhinged.
But inside this little book that I made? A gentle place for you and all your big messy feelings to land.
This week’s prompt from The 52 Lists Project is “List your quirks.” Not your resume. Not your trauma. Just some weird little things that make you - you.

Do you whisper “sorry” to inanimate objects when you bump into them? Cry every time you see an old person eating alone? Cackle at your own farts?

Tight. Same.

If there ever was a time to make friends with our strange little selves, it’s now. Because the more we understand who we are, the less scary the world feels—and the more ready we are to show up for it.
Grab your pen. Let’s get weird. Let’s get grounded. Let’s keep going. 💛

In the comments:
Tell me ONE weird little thing about you. The more we share, the less alone we feel.

Throw back to a bunch of past versions of myself. All of these selves got to find their way to the surface thanks to my authorship career. I began writing self-help journals in 2014 and in the 10 years since, I’ve not only healed and helped myself through so many profound life cycles, I’ve also had the privilege of supporting over 1 million people in their journey to self expression, self love, mindfulness and empowerment!

1.4 million copies of the @52lists series are in print. That’s WILD. I dreamt of becoming an artist as a kid, maybe a musician, teller of stories and explorer of personal narrative in other creative ways, but never imagined I could become an author.

And here I am, 10 years in to writing and publishing books thanks to @hannahelnan finding my blog back in 2013 and believing in me and how I tell stories. She walked into my first little shop in Seattle that was tucked away in Belltown and said, “Have you ever considered writing a book? I think your 52 Lists Project could make a great journal.” I had been sharing the project on my blog along with writing about music, art, fashion, design, mental health and personal stories almost daily for 3 years by then. It was taboo to talk about mental health just 10 years ago and I want to thank Hannah and @sasquatchbooks for giving me a platform to help people rewrite their personal narratives, support their mental health, and find self actualization, one list at a time.

Thank you to @lindsay_edgecombe for being my champion, professional title: my agent, since the beginning. Having a person like Lindsey who truly believes in my voice and my unique perspective has made this career a dream lived in real life.

As Mother’s Day approaches, I also want to thank every woman, every mother, every nurturer, every friend who has used my #52lists journals to better their lives. My journals aren’t quick fixes, they are tools structured in weekly consistency, designed to help you deepen your self understanding with every list you fill out. They’re thoughtful gifts for moms of all ages + care givers of all kinds.

Gift #52Lists journals to the mama in your life who deserves a little extra self-love, and watch her rise. taken in Seattle, Washington by @52lists

Hi friends, I’m Moorea 💛
I’m an author, artist, and empathy-driven resource maker—and I believe that self-discovery isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.

Over the past decade, I’ve poured my heart into creating tools that help you reconnect with who you are, how you feel, and what makes your life meaningful—from guided journals to tarot cards, even an interior design book! These books aren’t about perfection or productivity. They’re about self-trust, inner clarity, and finding beauty in your own becoming.

If you’ve ever wondered how to hold joy in the midst of uncertainty…
If you’ve longed for peace, connection, courage, or just one little spark of magic…
There’s a book here for you.

✨ From list-making as a form of healing
✨ To journaling as a tool for resilience
✨ To tarot as a mirror for your inner truth
✨ To decorating your space as an act of self-respect
✨ To teaching kids emotional intelligence through creativity…

I make books that meet you where you are—and grow with you.

📚 Swipe through to meet all 9 books + tarot deck in the world of @mooreaseal:
→ The 52 Lists Series (for joy, calm, connection + courage)

✨SWIPE TO PULL A CARD✨
Today’s tarot pull: The Two of Swords (upright) from @everylittlethingtarot

🪨 A Gem: Tiger’s Eye – for clairvoyance, mood balancing, meditation
🎧 A Song: “Motion Sickness” by @phoebebridgers
👃 A Scent: Stale air in a musty room (you know the one)

It’s decision time, and you might be feeling avoidant. Where in your life do you feel pulled in two opposing directions? Close your eyes—with intention—and listen to your inner knowing. But don’t disappear completely. Avoidance might feel safe, but indecision will keep you locked in anxiety. Eradicate fear, make your choice, and move forward knowing perfection isn’t the point—progress is.

🔮 Try this Tarot Spread for tough decisions:
Pull 2 cards—one for Choice A, one for Choice B.
Then journal through your thoughts.

Here’s what I pulled for a real-life dilemma I’m facing (hi, it’s me, @mooreaseal, creator of this deck & the 52 Lists series):

💸 How do I survive this overwhelming pile of bills and not lose my soul in the process?

Choice A: Dedicate more time to my art and selling it.
🃏 Tarot card: Seven of Swords – strategic energy, but am I running from or toward something?

Choice B: Apply for more jobs—full-time maybe?, benefits, stability.
🃏 Tarot card: Ace of Cups – new emotional fulfillment, a fresh start… hmm.

Journal Prompt:
List #25 from #52ListsforBravery
List the things from your childhood that felt hard at the time but are now easy.
Swipe to read my own list (yes, I got vulnerable).

📝 Take Action:
I WILL commit to a morning and night routine for a week. I’ve been avoidant of structure lately, but fear doesn’t get to be the boss of me anymore. These cards, these lists—they’re my tools. And I’m ready to push through.

Spring is coming and I want to refresh my spirit, my heart, and the hopefulness I once had that currently feels beat down by current world events.

I wrote The 52 Lists Project ten years ago now, and it’s truly profound reading through the original journal I wrote in back then. It’s profound because I see a much emotionally younger me, the me who knew she needed to ask herself new questions, pull out knowledge she had hidden inside, and discover authentic sources of confidence that I had yet to know I held.

List making has always been the go to tool that has helped me get my mind in order. Can you relate?
I’ve tried every promised miracle solution for getting my life in order. And at the end of the day, list making remains the easiest and ONLY consistent method for managing my wants and my needs.

I need simplicity.

Most especially when the world feels so heavy and polit-icks are freaking me out, and I can feel the fear and angst and worry running through everyone around me and myself. I need to slow down, breathe and find my grounding in there here and now so that I CAN handle the realities of the world.

In the original 52 Lists Project journal, I carefully chose SIMPLE lists to pair perfectly with the matching week of the year. And being that Spring has just sprung, Week 14’s list prompt is: “List the ways you can cleanse your life for Spring.”
There’s a difference between numbing yourself to reality vs clearing space in mind, heart and space so that you CAN participate in reality.

So let’s get some soothing going:
What is 1 way YOU want to create some positive, kind and calm cleansing in your life? Respond in the comments!

3 from me:
• I want to mop the whole house.
• I want to finish pruning some plants in the garden.
• I want to finally tackle that pile of things sitting in the corner of our bedroom.

How about you?
Ps, find the 52 Lists journal series wherever books are sold. taken in Occupied Duwamish Territory by @52lists

List # 2 from The 52 Lists Project: List your favorite characters from books and movies!

What qualities from these characters do you admire? I love characters that have a lot of grit, that hold power despite society and large saying they shouldn’t. I admire young characters who are courageous and determined.

We love pairing our journaling with a tarot card. And the Mother of Cups couldn’t feel more aligned with this week’s list from 52 Lists for Bravery. Scroll through the images and see for yourself! Do you resonate with this list and the tarot reading?

Join me in filling out a list from #52Listsforcalm, journaling inspiration for soothing anxiety and creating a peaceful life.

List # 1 asks: List everything you are thinking about right now.

Take action: Cross out all of the things on your list that you cannot do right in this moment. Circle only one thing that you actually want to do right now, or a thought that feels helpful and positive. Go do your one thing, or just hold that helpful thought with you throughout the day.

May your day be more calm and peaceful thanks to the time you’ve taken to release and reset.

It’s list making time!
List # 1 from the 52 Lists Project asks “List your goals and dreams for this year.” And the take action prompts you to choose one item on your list to pursue this week.

Creating new habits and new practices doesn’t happen in a day. It requires consistency and follow through, and that’s what I have at the front of my mind entering the new year. I want to build a solid foundation of evidence of my own ability to follow through. I don’t want to achieve greatness, I simply want to feel more at peace in the day to day. And the two things I’m committing to daily to support me in that goal are 1. Journaling every weekday 2. Pulling a tarot card every weekday.

What are your goals for the year? And what is one item on your list that you are committing to this week?
