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.”

Stuff & Things 2/19
++ I spent the afternoon yesterday browsing through Kristin's recipe index. I've been in such a rut lately, and I trust her taste. I'm particularly excited to try the beer bread, creamy chicken casserole, stovetop mac & cheese, her take on chicken enchiladas (sound way better than...
Coffee Chat: Instead
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel: Greyfitti Share what you love instead of what you hate. It's instinct for most of us to focus on the things that bother us or that we don't like. My challenge to you today is to catch yourself. We do it so easily that we probably don't even realize we're...
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.
