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.”
Joanna Gaines Chicken Pot Pie: Comfort Food Classic from Magnolia Table Cookbook
*This post contains affiliate links. I'm pretty sure comfort food is my love language. Seriously, I love nothing more than a belly full of happiness, and today's recipe delivers just that. I will say this, I am not usually a fan of leftovers. (I know, I know. Luckily,...
On Solid Ground
On January 18th of this year, I jotted that verse down in my journal. I remember having complete faith in it. But I also remember putting my head down on my desk, allowing the tears to fall, begging God to lead me to that rock. When you're waiting for a miracle, time feels like it...
Count On Me!
Sinful Colors: Lavender Nicole by OPI: Count on Me A few weeks ago, I was in Target and spotted the Essie Cashmere line. Specifically, Coat Couture. But I knew the whole point of that line was that the finish on the polish was a satin/suede finish. I'm just...not into it....

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.
