Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.

Break to Heal
I've always been a firm believer in the good. I can't say I'm an optimist, I think life has weathered me into a bitter human, but I always hold on to hope. When things start to spiral out of control, life falling apart around me, I can't help but be filled with a bit of excitement. A wave I've...
