Anchor Your Year in Purpose: A Wood Block to Keep Your Word in Focus
Hey sweet friends!
Each new year brings fresh opportunities - a chance to reset, refocus and step into the person you're becoming. Many of us choose a Word of the Year, a single word that serves as our guide, our intention and our reminder of what truly matters. But as the months go by, it's easy to lose sight of that word in the busyness of everyday life. BOOM - here we are...MAY! Are you still inspired by your word? Do you even have one?
My word is INTENTIONAL. (Can you tell?!) I keep it front and center in my office where I can see it EVERY.DAY! I pray about it. I craft with it. I write it. I live it. As a matter of fact, that one little word…it’s how Little Block of Happy was established!
What if you had a tangible reminder - something simple but ever-present—to keep your focus clear?
That’s why we created our custom wood blocks, each one carefully crafted with your Word of the Year. These blocks have been a passion project of mine! They’re more than just decor; they’re anchors of encouragement, placed where you’ll see them daily and be reminded of the path you’ve set before you.
I say “our” wood blocks because this round was hand stained by my boy. I cut them and prayed over each one and he stained them so…they’re pretty special! Oh and SHOUT OUT TO 84 Lumber (on Middlebrook Pike in Knoxville) they’ve partnered with me on this project! I’m so thankful for them!!
Why Your Word Matters
Choosing a Word of the Year is more than just picking a theme—it’s about setting an intention (ha! Intentional…you see?!) for how you want to live, grow, and walk in faith. Whether your word is Joy, Strength, Trust, Gratitude, Intentional or Courage, it becomes a quiet whisper in your heart, calling you back when life feels overwhelming. Having a visible reminder helps turn that whisper into a steady rhythm, keeping you aligned with your purpose.
A Daily Reminder in Your Space
Imagine placing your wood block on your desk, by your bedside, or on a shelf where you pass by every morning. In moments of doubt, stress, or distraction, a simple glance at your word can realign your thoughts and bring you back to what matters. I know it does that for me! It’s a reminder that you are growing, you are becoming, and you are walking in the purpose set before you.
A Gift of Meaning
A custom wood block isn’t just for you—it’s also a thoughtful, heartfelt gift for someone you love. Encourage a friend stepping into a new season, celebrate a loved one’s journey, or remind someone that their faith and dreams are worth holding onto. It doesn’t have to just “happen” at the first of the year. It could be a word that you’ve manifested over or have prayed about in this season of your life.
Live Your Word Every Day
Your Word of the Year isn’t just a nice idea - it’s an invitation to live with purpose. Let this simple, handcrafted piece serve as your daily nudge to embrace the word that’s shaping your heart this year and for the rest of the year. Live INTENTIONAL…there’s still 7 months left to stay the course. To stay focused and live a life full of purpose.
Because when we keep our intentions in front of us, we’re far more likely to live them out.
What’s your word? Let’s make it something you see and carry with you all year long.
