Many people stay silent not because they don’t feel or because their experiences don’t matter. Often, silence feels safer than speaking out and risking being unheard or disbelieved. But silence doesn’t protect the person who is hurting. Instead, it protects the source of the pain. DJ Penny’s mission is to challenge that silence. Through music, she asks a question that many avoid: Why do we stay silent? This question is the starting point for healing. When the truth is hear

Healing is not a straight path. It takes courage to face the truth and speak out. But when you do, you join a movement of survivors and allies working to end silence and create real change. Remember the words from Psalm 147:3: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Healing begins when pain is acknowledged and shared. There is freedom in truth and power in your voice.

Silence can feel heavy. It is not the calm, peaceful kind of quiet that soothes the mind. Instead, it is the silence that presses down on your chest, making your thoughts louder while your voice stays locked inside. This kind of silence can make you feel invisible, as if your words do not matter or that no one would listen even if you spoke. But silence does not mean you are alone or unheard. Your voice matters, and finding it can bring hope and healing.

END SILENCE A Patchwork Penny™ Journal Entry Hi… It’s me. I was sitting in the middle of the road. You probably saw that part. There were cracks everywhere. Long ones. Deep ones.

Countless stories show how faith has played a role in healing. One example is a woman who faced chronic illness for years. Through prayer, scripture study, and support from her church, she found renewed strength and peace. While her condition did not disappear overnight, her faith helped her manage pain and maintain a positive outlook.

Silence protects evil. When people pretend not to see what is happening, they become part of the darkness. Looking away allows harm to continue. We must refuse to do either. As a survivor, I know the real cost of silence. Even as a child, I sensed something was wrong. I refused to accept evil as a misunderstanding or to look away. That refusal has never left me. This is not anger for show. It is a firm refusal to stay silent.

In many traditions, especially in the Bible, the number seven symbolizes completion and fullness.

This idea of completion is not just a spiritual concept but a reminder that what is started will be brought to fullness.

The Heavenly Comedy Club™ was alive with soft flickers of light as rehearsal began. On the edge of a velvet seat sat Penny, her stitched legs swinging with excitement. Beside her, St. Justin watched quietly, calm and observant. The angels on stage were nervous. One forgot their line. Another hesitated before a punchline. A third dimmed their glow, worried they were “too much.”

My earliest memories are not filled with childhood wonder. Instead, they are memories of survival. I spent those early years trying to understand what was wrong with the world I was born into, quietly wondering if maybe the problem was me. I did not dare to dream. I did not expect or even hope to live long enough to need one.

Every day brings moments that don’t go as planned. A stitch that won’t hold, a cup that shatters, glitter that refuses to sweep away. These small frustrations quietly test our spirit. In one such moment, Penny paused, breathed, and chose her words carefully.

Penny was having one of those days where everything felt just a little off. Nothing was seriously wrong, but little things kept going sideways. Her shoelace wouldn’t stay tied. Her patchwork sleeve caught on the door handle again.
