DEAR GOD

A Place to Put Your Prayers, Hopes & Reminders

Sometimes we need to see the words we are carrying in our hearts.

DEVELOPER NOTE

This should be a beautiful, quiet page.

Do not make it look like a conventional product catalog.

The photographs should show several plaques hanging together, with different words creating a personal arrangement.

The page should immediately communicate:

Choose your words. Connect them. Hang them where you will see them. Add to them as life changes.

SOMETIMES A PRAYER IS JUST A FEW WORDS

Dear God,

There are things we don’t always know how to say.

Sometimes we need help.

Sometimes we need peace.

Sometimes we need courage.

Sometimes we simply need to remember that we are not alone.

And sometimes we don’t even know what we need.

Dear God began with the idea of putting those thoughts somewhere we could see them.

Not tucked away in a book.

Not hidden in a drawer.

But hanging right there in our home…

waiting for us when we need them.

THIS IS YOUR COLLECTION

Dear God isn’t one plaque.

It is a collection you create for yourself.

Start with one.

Add another when a different prayer speaks to you.

Add another when life changes.

Give one to someone you love.

Move them around.

Hang them together.

Separate them.

Let your collection become a reflection of what matters to you.

There is no required number.

There is no particular order.

You choose the words you need.

CHOOSE YOUR BEGINNING

DEVELOPER NOTE

Create three large visual category choices.

Each should link to the corresponding product/category collection.

DEAR GOD

For prayers, conversations, hopes, questions, and reminders directed toward God.

BUTTON:

Explore Dear God →

DEAR UNIVERSE

For those who speak to the universe, life, possibility, or something greater than themselves.

BUTTON:

Explore Dear Universe →

DEAR SOUL

For words directed inward.

Reminders of strength, compassion, courage, growth, and self-love.

BUTTON:

Explore Dear Soul →

THEN CHOOSE YOUR WORDS

DEVELOPER NOTE

This should be the primary product shopping section.

Show examples of individual quote plaques.

Use large photographs and the exact wording printed/hand-painted on each product.

Possible plaques include:

Remind Me I Am Not Alone

A reminder for the days when the world feels a little too heavy.

Guide All My Actions by Love

A simple intention for how we want to move through the world.

Warm My Heart

For the moments when we need tenderness, connection, and hope.

Blanket Me in Peace

A quiet request for calm when everything around us feels noisy.

Give Me Another Day to Try Again

Because sometimes the most important thing we can ask for is another chance.

Plant the Seed I Need to Grow

A reminder that growth doesn’t always happen quickly—and sometimes we don’t even know yet what we are becoming.

DEVELOPER NOTE

Do not limit the collection to these examples.

As new plaques are created, simply add them to the product collection.

Each quote should have its own WooCommerce product page.

BUILD IT YOUR WAY

You Decide How Many Plaques You Need.

This is what makes Dear God different.

You don’t have to buy a predetermined set.

You don’t have to choose a matching collection.

You can choose one plaque…

or several.

You can mix:

Dear God

with

Dear Soul

and

Dear Universe

You can choose words that speak to what you’re experiencing today and add different words six months from now.

Your collection can change as you change.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR COLLECTION

DEVELOPER NOTE

This should be presented as a simple visual four-step process.

Use photographs of actual plaques at each stage.

1. CHOOSE YOUR BEGINNING

Choose your opening plaque:

Dear God

Dear Universe

or

Dear Soul

2. CHOOSE YOUR WORDS

Browse the individual quote plaques.

Choose as many or as few as you want.

There is no required combination.

Choose the words that speak to you.

3. CONNECT THEM

Each plaque has holes in the corners and comes with string so the plaques can be tied together.

Your plaques can become a vertical collection of words.

You can make it short.

Or let it grow.

4. HANG IT WHERE YOU NEED IT

Place your collection somewhere you’ll actually see it.

Your bedroom.

Your bathroom.

Your office.

Your meditation space.

Your entryway.

Your kitchen.

A child’s room.

Beside your favorite chair.

Wherever you need the reminder.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN

DEVELOPER NOTE

Use close-up photography here.

Show the texture of the wood, the white paint, the handwritten lettering, the holes in the corners, and the string.

Every Dear God plaque is intentionally simple.

The plaques are made from wood and painted white.

The words are hand-painted in my own handwriting.

There is nothing complicated about them.

That’s part of the point.

The words are what matter.

Each plaque has holes in the corners, allowing it to be connected to another plaque with string.

As you add plaques, your collection grows.

The result is simple, personal, and completely your own.

WHY HANDWRITING?

The words aren’t printed by a machine.

They’re written in my handwriting.

That makes every plaque feel more like a personal note than a manufactured sign.

It reminds us that these are words meant to be lived with.

Words we can read every morning.

Words we can return to when we’re struggling.

Words we can carry quietly through the day.

WHERE WOULD YOU HANG YOURS?

DEVELOPER NOTE

Create a lifestyle image gallery showing the plaques in several real environments.

BESIDE YOUR BED

Begin and end your day with the words you most need to remember.

IN YOUR BATHROOM

A private moment to pause before the day begins.

IN YOUR OFFICE

A reminder when work becomes overwhelming.

IN YOUR KITCHEN

A place where your everyday life happens.

IN A QUIET CORNER

Create a small personal space for reflection, prayer, meditation, or simply being still.

IN A CHILD’S ROOM

Choose words that remind a child they are loved, supported, and never alone.

YOUR WALL CAN TELL YOUR STORY

Imagine starting with:

Dear God

↓

Remind Me I Am Not Alone

That’s all.

Then perhaps, months later, you add:

Guide All My Actions by Love

Then:

Blanket Me in Peace

Then one day you realize you need:

Give Me Another Day to Try Again

Your collection becomes a quiet record of your life.

The words you needed.

The things you were hoping for.

The places where you needed courage.

The reminders that carried you through.

COME BACK WHEN YOU NEED DIFFERENT WORDS

Life changes.

So do we.

The words that speak to us today may not be the words we need next year.

That’s why Dear God is designed as a collection you can build over time.

Maybe today you need:

Warm My Heart.

Tomorrow you may need:

Give Me Another Day to Try Again.

Later, you may need:

Plant the Seed I Need to Grow.

There is always room for another prayer.

Another reminder.

Another hope.

A GIFT THAT CAN KEEP GROWING

Dear God plaques make meaningful gifts because you don’t have to know exactly what someone needs.

Give someone a beginning.

Give them:

Dear God

and let them choose the rest.

Or choose a few words that remind you of them.

A friend going through a difficult time.

Someone beginning a new chapter.

A graduate.

A new parent.

Someone who needs encouragement.

Someone who simply deserves a reminder that they are loved.

And because the collection grows, you can add another plaque later.

A birthday gift.

A Christmas gift.

A “thinking of you” gift.

A little prayer sent through the mail.

THE DEAR GOD COLLECTION

DEVELOPER NOTE

This should be the main product display.

Create a visually appealing grid showing all currently available plaques.

Organize them into:

Beginning Plaques

• Dear God

• Dear Universe

• Dear Soul

Prayer & Reminder Plaques

• Remind Me I Am Not Alone

• Guide All My Actions by Love

• Warm My Heart

• Blanket Me in Peace

• Give Me Another Day to Try Again

• Plant the Seed I Need to Grow

• Additional products as created

Each product should link to its individual product page.

PRODUCT PAGE / ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

DEVELOPER NOTE

Because the customer can purchase individual plaques in any combination, make this extremely clear.

Each plaque is sold individually unless a particular product is specifically identified as a set.

The customer can:

1. Choose a beginning plaque.

2. Add as many quote plaques as desired.

3. Mix Dear God, Dear Universe, and Dear Soul if desired.

4. Add individual plaques to the cart.

5. Connect them at home using the supplied string.

If WooCommerce allows it, consider adding a “Build Your Collection” shopping feature in the future.

For now, individual product pages and a normal shopping cart are perfectly acceptable.

CUSTOM DEAR GOD PLAQUES

Have Your Own Words?

DEVELOPER NOTE

This should be a prominent secondary call-to-action.

Do not promise an automatic customization system unless one has been built.

Instead, direct the customer to contact Deborah.

Sometimes the words you need aren’t in the collection yet.

Maybe there is a prayer you have carried for years.

A phrase someone once told you.

Words from your grandmother.

A personal reminder.

A sentence that means something only to you.

If you would like a custom plaque created with your own words, contact me.

I’ll work with you to create a simple wooden plaque written in my hand and made especially for you.

WHAT MAKES DEAR GOD DIFFERENT?

It isn’t mass-produced wall art.

It isn’t a decorative sign.

It isn’t a predetermined inspirational quote set.

It’s a collection of words you choose because they mean something to you.

And because the plaques are made individually, your collection becomes personal.

Over time, it can become part of the landscape of your home.

A quiet reminder of what you believe.

What you hope for.

What you need.

Who you are becoming.

START WITH ONE

You don’t need to know exactly what your collection will look like.

You don’t need to choose all your words today.

Start with one.

Hang it somewhere you’ll see it.

Let it become part of your life.

And when another word speaks to you…

add it.

BUTTON:

Begin Your Dear God Collection →

FINAL SECTION

What Words Do You Need Today?

Maybe you need peace.

Maybe you need courage.

Maybe you need forgiveness.

Maybe you need another chance.

Maybe you need to remember that you are not alone.

Whatever you’re carrying…

there is a place for it here.

Choose the words.

Connect them.

Hang them where you can see them.

And let them become part of the way you move through your day.

Dear God.

Dear Universe.

Dear Soul.

What do you need to say?

DEVELOPER CHECKLIST

PAGE PURPOSE

This is the primary landing page for the Dear God collection on DeborahLandry.com.

The page should:

• Explain the concept.

• Sell the emotional idea behind the collection.

• Explain how the plaques work.

• Show customers how to build a collection.

• Link to every individual plaque product.

• Allow customers to request custom plaques.

• Encourage repeat purchases as the collection grows.

PRODUCT STRUCTURE

Every plaque should be an individual WooCommerce product.

Beginning Plaques

• Dear God

• Dear Universe

• Dear Soul

Quote Plaques

Each individual quote gets its own product page.

Examples:

• Remind Me I Am Not Alone

• Guide All My Actions by Love

• Warm My Heart

• Blanket Me in Peace

• Give Me Another Day to Try Again

• Plant the Seed I Need to Grow

• Future quotes

PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

Every product should ideally have:

1. Individual Photograph

A clean photograph of the plaque.

2. Detail Photograph

Close-up showing Deborah’s handwriting.

3. Connection Photograph

Show the holes and string.

4. Lifestyle Photograph

Show the plaque hanging in an actual home.

5. Collection Photograph

Show several plaques connected together.

The collection photograph is particularly important because it demonstrates the concept better than text can.

VISUAL STYLE

The Dear God page should feel:

• Quiet

• Warm

• Personal

• Handmade

• Spiritual without being tied to one particular religious tradition

• Simple

• Reflective

• Hopeful

Use natural backgrounds, white wood, linen, warm walls, bedside tables, shelves, windows, plants, and other real home environments.

Avoid making it look like a mass-produced inspirational decor website.

The handwriting should be the visual signature of the collection.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT LANGUAGE

Always describe these as:

Hand-painted wooden plaques

rather than ceramic plaques.

Explain that they are:

• Wooden

• Painted white

• Hand-lettered in Deborah’s handwriting

• Connected with string

• Designed to be collected

• Available individually

• Suitable for creating a personal arrangement

FUTURE POSSIBILITY

If the collection grows substantially, consider eventually offering:

Build Your Collection

A product interface where customers can select:

Beginning

Plaque 1

Plaque 2

Plaque 3

Plaque 4

and see a visual representation of their collection.

This is NOT necessary for launch.

Start with individual products.

Let customers discover the concept.

Then make the shopping experience more sophisticated once you know how people are buying.

THE BIG IDEA FOR THE DEVELOPER

Please don’t design this as a normal product category.

The collection is the product experience.

The individual plaques are the pieces that allow the customer to build it.

The goal is for someone to look at a photograph of several connected plaques and think:

“I want to make one of those for my home.”

Then the website needs to make the next step incredibly easy:

Choose your beginning → Choose your words → Order → Connect → Hang → Add to it when you need another word.

Transform Your Thoughts, Transform Your Life

Dear God / Dear Universe was born from the crucible of personal turmoil, inspired by the power of prayer, wisdom, and compassion. In the face of life’s challenges, these sculptures offer a way to silence the negative chatter in your mind. Each plaque is meticulously designed, allowing you to add, subtract, and rearrange your desires as you evolve. It’s a mirror reflecting your journey, reminding you of the strength and wisdom within.

How It Works:

1. Customization: Personalize your plaque with your desires, prayers, or affirmations.
2. Adaptability: Add, subtract, and rearrange statements to match your evolving needs.
3. Manifestation: Clarify your goals and witness the path unfold before you.
