Executive Director and Co-Founder of Chronic Joy®
Pamela, a leader and a visionary following God's call to inspire those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, and chronic pain, believes that every precious life impacted by illness is both vital and purposed.
Pamela is a wife of more than 35 years, the mom of three married children, and a grandma of six. She is diagnosed with chronic migraines and other chronic conditions. She enjoys baking sourdough bread and chocolate chip cookies, drinking hot tea, being outdoors, and reading (almost always more than one book at a time).
A young mother facing a long wait for medical care learned three powerful guideposts for advocacy: facts, honey, and comfort. Facts bring clarity, gracious words open doors, and comfort steadies fearful hearts. In stressful medical situations, gentle confidence and compassionate presence can become powerful tools for caring well for ourselves and those we love.
Kindness often begins with curiosity and wonder. This gentle recipe for intentional kindness invites us to slow down, notice others, and respond with compassion, encouragement, and courage. Discover how small acts of kindness reflect God’s love, brightening both your day and someone else’s.
Comfort is not about escape; it’s about presence. In seasons of suffering, choosing to rest can feel almost rebellious. Yet, Scripture tells us that God does not rush us past the ache; He meets us in it, gathering our broken pieces like precious treasures into His basket of compassion.
