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.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
Boundaries: 3 Signs You Need Them
It was late summer 2017. My heart was pulsing so hard in my throat I thought it might choke me. You need to take a break, my best friend said to me on the phone. She was using her former retail manager voice, and my instincts said to obey. But I knew I couldn’t....
Taking Off the Mask
What mask are you wearing? Your initial answer would probably be "none." Right? We all like to think we are being 100% ourselves. That nothing is holding us back. That we're not hiding behind anything. But the longer I sat and thought about the question, I realized I...
I’m in Love! Julep Flora + Maven info!
Okay, friends. I finally did it. I don't know how it took me so long to get into this whole thing, but Julep is now my jam. I mean, it makes sense, right? I got this box for free. All I paid was the $2.99 shipping. To give you some context, a single Julep polish...
Stuff & Things 4/23
>> We're puppy sitting for our neighbor. I get this text from the hubs midday on Wednesday... The stuff that man remembers. Seriously. I don't think I know any of the muppet's names except for kermit. Okay, and miss piggy. And animal. But I think that's...
I’m In Trouble…
If you follow me on instagram, then you know Publix just opened literally right behind my apartment. The thing is, there's a light rail between us. Which means I have to walk around to get there. Even still, it's only about a 10 minute walk. (I hear they're planning to...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
