The Art of Noticing: A Writer’s Field Guide to Wonder

This card deck was made for Writers, Wanderers & Wonder-Seekers.

Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped paying attention. We scroll past our own lives. We rush through our meals as if we just want to get it over with. We don’t bother to discover the names of trees.

 

But a meaningful life is built through attention.

 

The Art of Noticing is a thoughtfully designed card deck filled with prompts and invitations that help you slow down, look closer, and reconnect with the world around you  and within you.

 

Created by Joan Gallares, this deck is part creative companion, part mindfulness ritual, part doorway back to wonder.

What’s Inside:

  • Reflective prompts for noticing beauty, memory, story, and meaning

  • Invitations inspired by writing, travel, food, nature, and everyday life

  • Gentle practices to help you become more present and observant

  • A beautiful tactile object designed to be returned to again and again

  • QR access to a complimentary 7-day guided noticing experience

Whether you are a writer, journal keeper, artist, reader, traveler, parent, or someone simply longing to feel more alive inside your own life, this deck was made for you.

This Deck Is For You If…

  • You miss feeling inspired

  • You want to write but don’t know where to begin

  • You long for slower, more meaningful days

  • You want to become more observant, creative, and awake to life

  • You love books, journaling, cafés, long walks, markets, gardens, museums, recipes, handwritten letters, and small beautiful things

  • You want to remember your life more deeply

This is not about productivity or self-optimization. Nor is it about becoming a “better” version of yourself.

 

It is about becoming present enough to experience your life while you are living it.

 

The Art of Noticing is rooted in the philosophy of Lifescribing, the practice of paying attention to memory, meaning, beauty, and story while they are warm, while you still remember.
