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.”
How to get unstuck
I met up with a friend for coffee a couple of weeks ago. She'd texted me the night before and asked if I'd be up for it, and I said yes before thinking through the logistics. Jonathan and I are sharing a car right now. We have been for the last several months. And...

>>This new life, y'all? I can't hang. I went from struggling to hit 10,000 steps/ day on my fitbit WITH a 3 mile run to effortlessly hitting 10,000 by 2PM on the reg without a run (speaking of which, I really need to get back into the running thing. Sigh). I'm...
Life Lately
Good morning, friends! This blog is coming to you in real time after the most exhausting weekend ever. I ended up having to soak in an epsom salt bath last night because I honestly thought my limbs were going to fall off. They don't feel much better today. Oh well, such is life!...

>> Home is wherever I am with you. I've been lucky enough that during this time of displacement, J has been with me for most of it. But as I was driving "home" from work last night, it hit me. We can move a hundred times, and I'll always be okay as long as my little family...
Randomness
I had such a blogger afternoon yesterday. J and I drove back into Charlotte from Raleigh, and when we got to town we were starving. Have y'all seen the vine where the kid is all Oh my god I love Chipotle. Chipotle is my life. No? Okay, here, watch it. J and I quote this on...
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.
