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.”

For when you need to find God in your everyday

For when you need to find God in your everyday

I look for God everywhere, in everything. I can find Him in most things. Some might argue I see what I want to, and you know what? I'm okay with that. Because I'd rather see him and believe and be wrong. Because who does that hurt? I believe he sends us little signs...

2014: The Year That Was…

2014 has been a huge year.  It's been amazing and awful and just...well, life.  I will say this about 2014.  I made it my bitch.  I just did.  I remember as the year was starting, I felt scared.  I was worried another year would pass and I wouldn't accomplish any...

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.
