Let’s Prompt This New Year!
January 19, 2023 | By Maya Malan-Gonzalez
The time was January 2019: Luna hosted our first vision board workshop and I was changed forever.
Since this workshop, where we gathered images that reflected the goals we wanted to manifest for the coming year, a handful of us Lunas have become obsessed with kicking off our new year with vision boards and manifestations. Some of us are early risers and get that shit done at the top of the month and some of us, those maybe who love to sleep in, wait till the very end of January, maybe even into the start of February to get those vision boards updated. Either way, we all have our own rhythms, but the point is, we all take the time to be thoughtful in some way about what we want for the year ahead.
Naming what you want is such a powerful tool and even better when you have a community in which you can share those things you wish to manifest with. January has this magic about it that brings forth hopes and dreamer vibes. It’s in our nature at the start of the year to look forward and think about all the changes we want to make, the practices we want to adopt and all the goals we hope to accomplish.
Now surprisingly, this blog isn’t about vision boards, I can see how you’d think that as I’ve been rambling on about them, but no, this blog is about excavating ourselves to just be better. Better, in whatever way you want that to be- no worries, I’m not here to tell you what your goals for being a better person should be, I’m just here to share my thoughts about how I aim to be better…. Or maybe just more in touch with myself, which who knows, might make me better in some way.
This year, one of my goals is to get back into the practice of journaling, which for me, just means taking the time daily to reflect.
For context, I’m a writer- I didn’t always consider myself one, but I’ve always been someone who journals… and eventually I discovered, I can write plays and stories and I can definitely write my story- like we say at Luna, Your Story is Your Superpower.
Sometimes I’m not sure what to write about. I might not be in the mood for a daily reflection about what has been going on and if it’s the morning, sometimes I just need inspiration about what to reflect on- after all, sometimes there’s so much to reflect on, ya just need a little guidance to focus.
Prompts, y’all. That is what this blog is about.
A Prompt can be as simple as a question to get you started, like “What’s your favorite thing to do to relax?” Or it can go a little deeper to ignite a story in you, like “What’s a time you had to stick up for yourself?” A Prompt is just a thing to prompt you to start writing.
Since the beginning, Luna has been obsessed with writing prompts. It’s how we get the ball rollin’ and how we ultimately discover ourselves and our stories- it’s our secret tool for making stellar art. During the pandemic, we began hosting instagram Lives (and sometimes Facebook too) prompt sessions called “Write With Us”. They were fun 30ish minute lives where we would share about 5 writing prompts. Folks could drop in, do a little writing on their own and if they wanted too, they could share their prompts in the comments.
Did you ever attend one? Comment down below if you did and want us to bring them back! We just might….!
Well guess what? We want to share more prompts with you! Upon entering this website you probably saw a pop up for our free 7 day Prompt book. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you definitely should. The beauty of the prompt book, aside from the stellar questions and prompts within, is a curated experience. We're not just throwing random questions at you, we’re trying to help you build upon the work (or fun) that you are doing day to day to excavate yourself and build a writing process.
The 7 day free prompt book gives you a taste of the journey Luna can take you on– and don’t get bummed if you’ve already downloaded it and completed it- WE HAVE MORE AVAILABLE!

Our 30 day Prompt book is a tool for you to discover a new way to process your feelings, ignite your imagination and dive into some reflection that can ultimately activate a little healing.
