Venting Out Loud

Good Morning Villagers and World 🌎!!
Now y’all already know I had to check in with my feathered alarm clock next door this morning...
That rooster was over there carrying on like he had a microphone, a ministry, and a morning announcement from the hen house...
Some mornings I hear him and think, sir, please hush before I come over there and have a serious life coaching session with you...
Some mornings I say, okay, I’m awake now, so you can clock out...
Some mornings I’m already up before him, and I feel like telling him, don’t worry about the c**k a doodle doo today, I already handled the morning shift...
But then there are some mornings when I have to be honest and say, thank you, rooster, because if you had not opened that loud little beak of yours, I might have missed the blessing of another early start...
And that right there will preach if we let it...
Sometimes the very thing that annoys us is also the thing that awakens us...
Sometimes the noise we want to silence is the reminder that we still have purpose, breath, work, prayer, and another chance to get ourselves together...
This morning’s message is this...
I do not wait for KINDNESS to find me...
I notice what people reveal, and I choose to answer with GRACE...
That does not mean I do not see clearly...
That does not mean I ignore what people show me...
That does not mean I forget every true color that has walked across my spirit...
It means I refuse to let somebody else’s behavior turn my heart into a hard place...
It means I can have DISCERNMENT without bitterness...
It means I can have BOUNDARIES without cruelty...
It means I can remember the lesson without carrying the weight of the grudge...
Because kindness is not weakness...
Grace is not blindness...
Peace is not permission for people to mishandle you...
And wisdom knows how to smile, step back, pray, and keep moving...
Prayer and devotion have already been done in the early a.m...
Prayers have gone across the land, near and far...
For families...
For healing...
For grief...
For strength...
For closed doors that need to stay closed...
For open doors that are assigned by God...
For people fighting silent battles...
For those who are tired but still showing up...
For those who need comfort, clarity, and covering...
We pray ye one for another, because before we ask for ourselves, there is power in remembering somebody else...
There is something sacred about lifting another name before we lift our own request...
That is humility...
That is love...
That is spiritual maturity wrapped in morning mercy...
So today, let the rooster crow if he must...
Let the world make its noise...
Let people reveal what they reveal...
But you choose your response...
Choose wisdom...
Choose grace...
Choose peace...
Choose kindness with boundaries...
Choose to rise without carrying what was meant to keep you heavy...
And remember this...
You do not have to wait for others to be kind before you become the example...
Show them how it is done...
With grace...
With wisdom...
With a clean heart...
And with your peace still intact...
Express...
Heal...
Transform...

Making it Simple....

Coping & Finding Inspiration Through Art & Music

This 3-page creative coaching worksheet series is a glimpse into the healing tools I am building through Venting Out Loud30.

These pages were designed to help you use music, art, and reflection to notice what you feel, explore what may be beneath the surface, and choose one small step toward healing and personal growth.

Sometimes healing begins with a song...
Sometimes it begins with color...
Sometimes it begins with one honest question...

This is part of the creative coaching work I am developing for future printable worksheets, guided journals, PDF resources, KDP projects, and healing-centered products.

The work is growing.
The vision is expanding.
The healing continues one page at a time.
