Summary
In this heartfelt conversation, Helen is joined by author and poet Pamela Moffatt, whose life has been shaped by profound challenges — childhood hospital stays with recurring bone infection, moments of fear and uncertainty, homelessness, hunger, and standing beside loved ones at the end of life through hospice.
Yet Pamela’s story is not one of despair — it’s one of grace arriving in unexpected forms: a frail elderly woman radiating love in a hospital ward, long-lost friends appearing at exactly the right moment, and a prayer chain that coincides with a medical turning point that never returned.
Together, Helen and Pamela explore what it really means to thrive — not as perfection or constant positivity, but as a willingness to invite a bigger perspective, stay connected to the heart of a situation, and trust that “all the data isn’t in yet.” They speak candidly about faith, intuition, spiritual senses, sovereignty, and how love can’t be forced — it must be chosen, opened to, and received.
Takeaways
· Thriving isn’t having it good every day — it’s having tools, support, and the courage to ask for help when life gets dark.
· “All the data isn’t in yet.” A powerful anchor when you’re in uncertainty — you don’t know the whole picture, and hope is still valid.
· Miracles are often practical. Support can arrive as people, timing, kindness, and “earth angels,” not dramatic supernatural moments.
· The heart of a situation matters more than the appearance of it. What’s authentic can be felt — beyond presentation, beyond polish.
· Free will is sacred. Love and spirit can’t be imposed — they must be invited.
· Community can be a crucible for growth. Living closely with others reveals our edges — and offers the practice of “loving the difficult-to-love.”
· Grief doesn’t cancel connection. Hospice experiences and spiritual knowing can offer comfort: death as “a change of address.”
· Creativity reveals truth. Memoir writing can uncover what you didn’t even know you believed until you wrote it.
· Believing eyes matter. In vulnerable creative seasons, encouragement and safe support are more nourishing than critique.
