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.”
Finding Faith in Seasons of Waiting
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 The other night, I was chatting with a friend who finally accepted a position after a long search...

Winter Blues & Sinful Colors 24/7
The weather here has been so freaking gloomy lately. Usually, I'm totally down for a good rainy day or two, but lately it's just been wrecking havoc on my mood and mindset. Is it me, or is January just such a hard month? I've basically been surviving off that Giant Cookie I made...
Stuff & Things 1/15
+ J and I watched Mommy's Night Out the other day sort of on a whim. It was the dumbest thing ever but absolutely hilarious. I'm not sure if it was just the mood we were in or what but it was funny! + The temperature here was supposed to drop drastically overnight on Tuesday night and...
Being Joey: A Candid Evening
4:30 Run! Since the sun goes down so early now, I have to be sure to get my run in before it's dark! So I ended my work day around 4:30 and hit the pavement. I learned my lesson, though. Saturday's run was so frigidly cold that I thought my fingers were going to snap off....

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.
