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.”

Born Pretty Store Feature: #11

Stuff & Things 4/9
++That is how I spent part of my Friday. I absolutely love living in a place that the pool is open year round. It reached 80 degrees, and hanging out in the sunshine with my neighbor was perfect. Also--yes, I was reading Dark Places but I've given up on it. I just couldn't...
March Favorites!
Lindi Lip Balm I didn't expect anything great out of this balm. I'm not really sure why. For some reason when a lip balm is "high end" I shrug it off (you'd think I would have learned my lesson from the Fresh balms--hello, heaven). This stuff is fan-freaking-tastic. ...

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.
